As we discussed during our phone conversation on April 4, 2001, Advance Environmental

Associates, LLC (AEA) is currently assisting Crownline Boats, Inc. 'to help finalize iheir Title V

operating permit by working closely with Mr. Nathan Frank, the review engineer assigned to

write their permit. Upon reviewing the draft Title V permit, we discovered a significant problem

with respect to demonstrating on-going compliance with the "Use of Organic Material"

regulation, i.e., 35 lAC 215 Subpart K. The rule statesthat, " no person shall cause or allow the

discharge ofmore than 3.6 kg/hr (8Ib/hrJ oforganic material into the atmosphere from any

e;'ission source, except ". The problem with the operating permit as now written is how the

term "emission source" is defined in reference to demonstrating compliance with this rule.

In this regard, we·have.become rather frustrated trying to obtain a cons·istent and appropriate

determination from the Illinois EPA on exactly how this rule should lie applied to the boat

manufacturing. operations at Crownline Boats, Inc. in West Frankfort, :illinois.- Our frustration

stems from two facts. The first is that there appears to be no clear cut definition in the illinois

rules of the term "emission source" as used in the context of 35 lAC 215 Subpart K ("the 8 lb/hr

rule"). The second is from our repeated attempts to have this clarified by the IEPA only to be

given conflicting definitions from three different IEPA engineers for the tenn "emissions source"

. in this rule.

To help resolve the issue of properly defining the term "emissionsource" for purposes of

applying the.8lblhr rule to fiberglass boat building, we would like to suggest a definition that is

both based on the specific boat building activities at Crownline Boats and on what we believe to

be the intent of the rule. To do so, we believe it is important to-tirst describe the boat building

process at Crownline Boats,

The Crownline Boats production processes include the following production areas (in sequence):

1) Prototype Shop - boat mold development;

2) Gelcoat Application Area - gelcoat coating is applied to the pre-formed boat molds

(single application per mold);
Mr. Donald E. Sutton, P.E.

April 11, 2001

'Page 2 of 3

3) Lamination Area - glass fibers, polyester resin and catalyst are applied to the bOat

mold (multiple applications per mold, Le., 2 to 3 "skins" per boat hull depending on

model and size);

4) Grind and Trim Area - cut excess material from the fiberglass part/smooth rough

surfacesllaminate floor support structure and floor to hull; .

5) Woodworking Area- construction of seat frames, interior cabinets, wood decks, etc.

6) .Upholstery Area- assembles the seats and.other vinyl fabric products required in.the

boats

7) Final Assembly Area - hulls and decks are assembled to complete the boat

structure, all mechanical equipment is installed and all other equipment installed to

finish boat; . . .

8) Shipping - finished boat is cleaned, inspected, engine tested and boat is prepared for .

shipment.

Please note that the areas shown in bold typeface represent those areas where the majority of

YOM-containing materials are used (e.g., gelcoats, resins, etc.)

Of the above-listed steps, three of these areas (gelcoat, lamination, and grind & trim) release the

majority of YOM to atmosphere. These are discussed in greater detail below. .

The boat manufacturing process involves the "building" of each boai in several steps using

gelcoat and fiberglass reinforced resin materials that contain organic materials. Each boat model

built consists of two primary parts (the hull and the deck). and one secondary part (the flooring

structure. The "building" of each hull and deck involves several steps. Both the hull and·deck for

each boat model are built by first applying a layer of gelcoat material to amold of the respective

part, followed by curing and then the application of laminate (fiberglass reinforced resin) material

in two to three layers, or "skins". The size of the boat determines whether two or three skins

must be applied. Each skin must be allowed to cure or "set" before the next layer can be applied.

The flooring.structure is then built into the boat hull by manually applying laminate material over

the fiberglass cloth-covered floor pieces. The flooring resin is then allowed to set before the boat

is ready for final assembly Goining of the deck to the boat hull). The s,teps described above

constitute the boat building process, which averages approximately 22 hours to complete. This is

the typical time frame that is needed to build the boat "structure" before it is ready for finishing

(addition of engine, steering, seats, and other mechanical components and accessories). It

represents the time from the start of gelcoat appiication to a boaimold (hull or deck) to the time

when the boat is ready for finishing. This time frame includes bothfue time for application of

. gelcoats and resins and the time to allow these materials to properly cure.

The 22 hours required for the above-described boat building process to be completed largely

consists of (1) the time for both applying the VOM~containing materials (gelcoat and resin) and

(2) the time needed for these materials to properly cure. The curing step is important ~ith ~espect

to the release of YOM in that a part of the YOM (styrene and other volatile organics) is released

during application (approximately 70% per NMMA data) and the balance during the curing

period. However, other factors enter into the total actual time required to complete the boat

structure. That is, Crownline makes a variety of boat models and sizes depending on customer

demand (sales). Therefore, any combination of boat models and sizes can be produced during .

any given day. From start to finish (boat ready to be shipped) it Can take up to as long as 3

calendar days to build a complete boat. The range of boat.sizes produced is 18 to 29 feet in

length. There are many instances where a deck may be gelcoated and then sit for several hours

before lamination is started or the time between application of resin skins may vary. The daily
Mr. Donald E. Sutton, P.E.

April 11, 2001

Page 3 of 3

sequences and time frames depend on such variables as production schedule (which typically

varies daily) and the availability of the various work crews.

Based on the foregoing discussion, we believe that the "process" of building the strucrdTe of an .

individual boat (as described above) is well suited for the definition of "emission source". We

believe this is appropriate in that the boat "building process" consists of both application and

curing time. Therefore, the hourly YOM emissions should be computed on the basis of the total

time for the completion of all activities required to build any given boat structure (including

gelcoat and resin application and curing time for building of the hull, deck and floor suucrure of

the boat), Le., approximately 22 hours. Accordingly, the 8 lb/hr rule would then be applied to the

amount of YOM emitted per hour, averaged over the entire term of the process (approximately 22

hours).

We believe this meets the intent of the rule in that the rule was intended for continuous

operations, i.e., for operations that emit YOM continuously (e.g., 24 hours/day). Sinc~ the

process of building the structure of a boat involves individual steps (during which time Va!;!

emissions vary significantly from hour to hour per boat being built), we believe itis reasonable

and appropriate to apply the 8lb/hr rule to the average YOM emissions value computed from the

entire time it takes to build a given boat (e.g.,. over the period of approximately 22 hours)..

Furthermore, the rule was intended to limit the total amount of YOM emitted from a source for

purposes of preventing ozone formation. In this regard, the individual hourly rate of VOy!

emissions is not imponant to protect against ozone formation; the total amount is, however.

Finally, we believe it is important to consider the fact that Crownline Boats will reduce its YOM

emissions when it complies with the proposed Boat Manufacturing MACT Standard.

We would ask that you give our suggested approach to applying the 8lb/hr rule, as descnbed

above, your serious consideration. If you have any other questions, please contact me in Sr.

Charles, Missouri at 636-916-4800.

Development of Equations For Extrapolating NMMA Emission

Factors to Calculate Styrene and Methyl Methacrylate (MlVlA}

Emissions From the Application of Gelcoats and Resins to Boat Hulls.

and Decks Considering Varying Boat Length and Other Variables

Preface:

The NM:MA emission factors for resin and gel coat application to boat hulls are based on test data

for two boat lengths of i8 feet and 28 feet. To derive emission factors for the application ofresin

and gelcoat to boats hulls of other lengths (between 18 and 28 feet, or greater than 28 feet) an

equation can be easily developed using these two data points. However, the NM:MA emission

factors for application ofresin and gelcoat to boat decks were based on test data limited to only a

single boat length of 18 feet. Since two points are required in order to create an equation for

purposes ofinterpolating or extrapolating emission factors for boat decks ofvarying lengths, the

second point (emission factor for a 28 foot boat deck) had to be artificially derived by assuming

that the rate at which emissions increase from resin and gelco'at application to an 18 foot versus a

28 foot boat deck is the same as the rate at which emissions increase for resinand gel coat

application between an 18 foot and a 28 foot boat hulL By assuming that the slope from the graph

created by plotting the emissions for an 18 foot versus a 28 foot hull is the same as the slope of

the graph for application ofresm. and gelcoat to boat decks, the emissionvalue for a 28 foot boat

can be derived. This is referred to as the "point/slope" method ofderivipg an equation from a

single point and a known slope ofthe corresponding graph.

- . Similarly, the·NMMA emission factors were developed from test data that wasJimited to only two

values ofstyrene content in resins. Consequently, another set of equations had to be developed to

take this variable factor into account in order to derive emission factors for resins of varying

styrep.e content.

Finally, yet another set of equations had to be developed to take into account different application

methods (air atomized versus lowpressure, non-atomized, or flow coat-type of application).

The tables, graphs and equations that follow demonstrate the detailed step-by-step procedure used

to derive the various equations necessary to properlyt4e into account all ofthe variables (boat

length, hulls vs. decks, varying styrene and MMA contents and method of application) that affect

the extrapolation of emission factors from the limited number of data points upon which the

NMMA factors are based.

YOM Emissions From Plant Gelcoat and Resin Application Operations

Pre-MACT Scenario·

Using production data and material usage data for 2003 - assuming production and

material use for August -December were the same as for July 2003 - an annual. YOM

emission value was calculated. This annual V0t0 emission value was calculated assuming

Crownline was operating like they were prior to making changes to comply with MACT.

That is, the following assumptions were made:

1. The production resin was42% styrene instead of the low styrene 33.5%,

2. The Spraycore 1800 and 2000 were the high styrene versions,

3. The J:11oonstone and opal gelcoats were the high YOM content versions, and

4. All resins were applied using atomized spray.

MACT Standard Compliance Scenario

Using production data and material usage data for 2003 - assuming production and

material use for August -December were the same as for July 2003.- an annual VOM

emission value was calculated. This annual VO~ emission value was calculated using

production methods and material use that has allowed them to comply with he MACT

point value system. That is, the following changes were made prior to 2003:

1. The production resin is 33.5% - low styrene resin,

2. The Spraycore 1800 and 2000 are the low styrene versions,

3. The moonstone and opal gelcoats are the low VOM content versions, and

4. All resins are applied using flow coat application.

Exhibit 5 of Appendix 6

YOM Emissions From Plant Gelcoat and Resin Application Operations

8lb/hr Compliance Scenario

To make a boat less than 25 feet in length requires the application of 5 skins of resin

and/or gelcoat. To make a boat of 25 feet or greater requires th~ application of 7 skins

of resin or gei coat. For the scenarios shown in Exhibits 3 and 4, Crownline produced .".

4,452 boats, 4,054 boatsless than 25 feet long <;lnd 398 boats that were 25 feet or

longer. Assuming it takes one hour·to apply a skin and limiting YOM emissions during

resin and gelcoat application to 8Ibs/hr, the annual YOM emissions from resin and

gelcoat use for this scenario are calculated as follows.

Boat Length less than 25feet

VOM Emissions = (4054 boats/yr) x (5 skins/boat) x (1 hr/skin) x (8 Ibs VOMlhr) x (0.005 tons VOM/lb VOM)

VOM Emissions = 81.08 tons VOM

Boat Length 25 feet or greater

VOM Emissions = (398 boats/yr) x (7 skins/boat) x (1 hr/skin) x (8 Ibs VO,M/hr) x (0.005 tons VOMllb VOM)

VOM Emissions = 11.14 tons VOM

Total YOM emissions from resin and gelcoat use is the sum of 81.08 and 11.14 which

equals92.22 tons of YOM emissions.

To obtain the total annual amount of YOM emissions from the plant, the YOM emissions

from the use of other materials (adhesives, foams, caulks, putties, waxes, lacquers aDd...";,,,,;.,;,

solvents) is added to the YOM emissions from the use of resin and gelcoat. The amount

of YOM emissions from other materials is 52.14 tons of YOM and is found in Tables 14

and 15 in Exhibits 3 and 4 of this appendix. Therefore, the total YOM emissions for this

scenario becomes, 92.22 + 52.14 = 144.36 tons.

Total YOM Emissions =144.36 tons.

Sample Calculations for YOM Emissions from

Crownline Finishing Operations

This Appendix shows the results of the YOM calculations for the finishing operations. In

final assembly hulls and decks are assembled to complete the boat. The decks are first

moved to deck rigging where carpet, headline and upholstered parts are attached to the

. decks. Meanwhile, the hulls are moved to the carpet area where carpet is installed in the

boat. From the carpet area, the hulls then move to engine assembly. After engine

assembly, the finished decks from deck rigging are attached to the hulls, caulked and then

moved to final assembly. The boats are then fitted with interiors and miscellaneous

hardware.

The'following caulkings, adhesives and lacquers are used in the final assembly:

•

•

•

•

•

4563 Solvent Based Carpet Adhesive

580H Headliner-Foam Solvent Based A.dhesive

62216, 90014, 90009 Caulk Adhesive (Adthane 1800)

90059 Lacquer

Silicone Caulk

As shown inTable 1, each adhesive, caulk, or lacquer is given in gallons or tubes. To

calculate the YOM emissions, the density of the.material is required. AEA was provided

with the MSDSs for each chemical and the density was determined from this. The

MSDSs have been included in this Appendix.

The densities are listed in Table 2. Each caulking tube is 10.1 fluid ounces which

converts to 0.079 gallons. Since the Adthane 1800 MSDS does not proVide the YOM

content by wei&ht, AEA contacted the manufacturer for the YOM content. They reported

that Adthane 1800 has a YOM density of 47 gIL or 0.39 lb/gal.

YOM Emission Calculations (for all materials used exc~pt Adthane 1800)

For all of the materials except the Adthane 1800 Caulk Adhesive, the calculations are as

follows:

VOMij =Ui,j X D x VC

Where

VOMi;j YOM emission rate for material i in lblhr for boat model j

Ui,j = amount of material i used per boat model j (lb)

D = density of material i

VCi=current YOM content for material i taken from MSDS and expressed as a , fraction by weight

i = material (i,e" 4563 Solvent-based Carpet Adhesive)

j =boat model number
Example:

YOM Emissions of carpet adhesive from Modell92BR

VOM45OJ. 192BR =2.3 x 6.95 x 0.64 =10.23 lblhr

YOM Emissions Calculations for Adthane f800

For the Adthane 1800 caulk, the calculations are as follows:

VOMj = Vj x VOMD

Where

VOMj =YOM emission rate for material in lblhr for boat model j

Vj amount of material used per boat model j (Ib)

VOMD =YOM density of material =0.39 lb/gal

j = boat model number

Example:

YOM Emissions of Adthane 1800 from Model 192BR

VOM6ZZ16. 19ZB~= 2.5 x 0.39 = 0.975 lblhr

---------------------------------------------------------------------

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE PROPERTIES OF THE CHEMICAL:

Material is extremely flammable, highly volatile and readily gives off

vapors which are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or

may be moved by ventilation and ignited by pi1o.t lights, other flames,

sparks, heaters, smoking, electric motors, static discharge, or other

ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point.

Avoid open flames and other ignition sources in storage and in use,

especially in spray applications.

This product should not be used where inadequate ventilation is likely

or where vapor concentrations may become flammable.

The solids portipn of the product (if applicable), is combustible

and will decompose during combustion or under pyrolysis conditions

giving off toxic fumes. .

Closed containers may burst due to pressure build-up if exposed to

temperatures at or near the boiling point of the product~ Closed

containers may rupture explosively, with product ignition, if exposed

to extreme heat or fire.

Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty)

because product (even just residue) can ignite explosively.

Veal =amount of catalyst used on an individual part (Ib)

N1am =number of parts to be laminated in 1 hour =l.part/hr

Vee,t = current YOM content of the catalyst expressed as a fraction

EFcat = VOM emission factor in the catalyst expressed as a fraction

Example:

192BR w/ Liner Box foot star/port

VOMlam = (I7 x 1 x 0.35 x 0.099) x (0.6 x 1 x 0.03 x 1) = 0.611b/hr

To see how EF,e, was determined refer to attached handwritten calculation sheet. EFeat is

100% of the 3% YOM in the catalyst. In other words, all of the 3% is emitted from the

catalyst. This data was taken from the catalyst MSDS.
Sample Calculations for YOM Emissions from,

Crownline Small Parts

The table lists a description of each part that is treated in the gelcoat" and lamination

areas. Each part listed is associated with a specific. boat model. Crownline has provided

the part number and the material usage amount. Each part can be sprayed with gelcoat or

resin within 1 hour. The following equation was used to calculate the YOM emissions

for gelcoat and resin:

Gelcoat:

VOMgel = Uge1 X Ngel x VCgel X EFgel

Where

VOMgel = YOM emission rate for gelcoat in lb/hr '

Ugel = amount of gelcoat used on an individual part (ib)

Ngel = number of parts to be gelcoated in 1 hour = 1 part/hr

VCgel = current styrene content in the gelcoat expressed as a, fraction

EFgel = YOM emission factor in the gelcoat expressed as a fraction determined using data

from the NMMA Table 2-5 ..

Example:

192BR wI Liner Box foot star/port

VOMgel = 0.1 it 1 x-0.33 x 0.375 = 0.0121b/hr

, ,

To see how EFgel was determined refer to attached handw~itten calculation sheet.

Lamination:

VOM1am= (Ures' x N,es x VCres x EFres) + (Ueal x Neal x VCeal X EFead

Where

VOMlam = YOM emission rate for lamination in lblhr

Ures = amount of resin used on an individual part (Ib)

N1am = number of parts to be laminated in 1 hour = 1 part/hr

VCres = current styrene content in the resin expressed as' a fraction

EFres = YOM emission factor in the resin expressed as a fraction determined using data

Virtual Engineered Composites: The Future of Fiberglass

Manufacturing

Through a commitment to building bi~h-quality boats using innovative and

'revolutionary technology, Ge(lmar Incorporating a new cutting-edge fiberglass'

construction process that is expected to set new standards in the ooat·building

industry. It's called Virtual Engineered Composites (VEe'"") and it replaces the

traditional fiberglass production method, which is labor-intensive, expensive, slow

.and produces regulated air emissions.

Genmar is systematically

implementing V.E~ te.chnology into

its fiberglass boat manufacturing

facilities becauseit's'an

environmentally friendly 'and

automated process that increases

the dur~bility and structural

integrity of boats, while increasing

production efficiencies an-d

producing fewer regulated air

emissions than the traditional

" fiberglass lamination process. VEC

is used predominately forproducinr; hulls, but will be used for other fiberglass

parts as well, including decking, stringers· and smaller components.

VEC involves a complex

computerized system that

" manages the entire injection

molding process, including all

equipment operations and the

curing of reSIns. It controls the key

elements of the process to

eliminate inconsistencies in the

finished producl Manufacturing

facilities that have VEe cells are

Non-!JS markets are different

One fador in its future decisions about Europe, pointed out by Jacobs, is that the VEC ass

line process is suitable for producing large numbers of identical smaller boats, which is th

of the US market.

Larger boats, which are frequently customized, can't be built on a moving assembly line, s

time sailings in building the small number of. hulls produced becomes a much smaller prop

the whoJe time spent on the yacht. Therefore, the cost savings for a big boat built with VE

not be significant. '

Also, there are no companies in Europe produdng large numbers of smaller boats, as is d

the United States. Large-volume European boatbuilders measure production in hundreds

not tens of thousands.

The same situation applies in Australia and New Zealand, though Wesley Moxey, managin

director of The Riviera Group, manUfacturers of Rivieras, Mariners and Australian-built We

says Genmar's technology will have a big impact on the production of smaller boats.

The main obstacle to adopting VEC in Au~lia is the high cost of entry, S9YS Moxey, but

production savings could do for the boatbuilding indUstry what it has done for the cost of

manufacturing consumer electronics. Also, the cost of VEC technology itself will decrease

and more companies adopt it.

Until Genmar can develop a market for large quantities of smaller boats in Europe and Au

appears likely most VEC manufacturing will remain in North AmeriCa. -

Genmar has several new technologies coming soon that will continue to improve efficienc

reduce styrene emissions. Jacobs ,says the company is so far ahea,d of the c0rt:\petition, it i

running a race against itself for the lead in boatbuilding technology.

\Vithin six months to a year, Genmar plans on switching ITom traditional gelcoat in the VE

to a type of "film" that will not emit,volatile organic compounds (VOC). Traditional gelcoat

be applied by handheld equipment when tne mold is open, allowing high levels of VOCS to

emitted.

Tnis film technology will lower the total VOC emissions from a VEe plant to the point wher

factories can be built anywhere, even in the middle of populated areas, says Jacobs.

And Jacobs is predicting further efficiendes wil1 mean eventually as many as 20,000 boats

will be built from a standard 8,83S·square-metre VEC plant.
