Mr. Emil Studinka 

Wilsonart, Gibraltar Plant 

1110 Industrial Boulevwd 

Temple, TX 76504 

De<ar Mr. Studinka: 

Thank you for returning my call and your offer to update the information provided in the 

screening survey submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1993. A 

copy ofthe original screening survey is enclosed for your records. 

As we discussed on the phone today, we would like to determine if your Gibraltar plant 

has the potential to be a major source. If your f*icility does not have the potentid to be a major 

source, it is not necess.wy to update the entire screening survey. In that case, it would be 

sufficient to provide the annual usage of resin containing hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and the 

HAP content ofthe resin. The equation to calculate the resin HAP content including any 

additional HAP added to the resin is shown below: 

% HAP in Resin = 

Total Amount of HAP 

(Total Amount of Resin) + (Total Amount of HAP) 

X 100% 

The percent HAP monomer in resin is calculated by dividing the total amount of HAP 

monomer in the resin (which is the sum of the HAP monomer in the resin as received by a 

facility and the tunount of HAP monomer added to the received resin by the facility) by the 

resin (which is the sum of the amoimt of resin and the amount of HAP monomer added to the 

resin), and multiplying the result by 100 %. Filler, catalyst, promoters, reinforcement, and 

other additives are not included in the resin HAP content definition.

If you determine that your facility has the potential to be a major source, we would 

appreciate it, if you would update the entire screening survey including the information 

described above. Thank you for your help and. ple<ase do not hesitate to call me at 

(919) 941-0333 if you have any further questions. 

Sincerely,

SCREENING INFORMATION REQUEST 

I. Instructions 

This information request is to be completed for facilities 

that manufacture reinforced plastic composites. The source 

category is defined as the manufacture of products using 

reinforced and/or filled plastic resin,, including "prepreg" 

or molded products. Fill out this information reguest as 

completely as possible from existing information sources. 

No additional monitoring or emissions testing is required 

by your company to respond to this request. 

Attachment 1 presents the list of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP's) listed in Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. We are 

interested in obtaining information regarding each compound 

identified as a HAP that is used in or emitted by any 

operations, including fugitive emission sources, occurring 

from the manufacture of reinforced plastic composites. 

If you have any questions regarding this request, contact 

Ms. Madeleine Strum of the EPA at (919) 541-2383 or Mr. 

Greg LaFlam of PES at (919) 941-0333. 

Return this information request and any additional 

information to:

III. Hazardous Air Pollutants 

Using the list of HAP's provided in Attachment 1, complete 

Table 1. List all known or suspected HAP's that are used 

in feedstocks, produced as intermediate or final products, 

or created as by-products of the process or control system 

within the defined source category operations. 

IV. Emissions and Source Reduction Techniques 

For each HAP emission source (including storage, fugitive 

dust, transfer operations, process fugitives, stacks, and 

waste management), complete Table 2. Provide a brief 

description of any emission reduction measures in place and 

an estimate of the relative quantity of HAP emissions from 

each emission source. 

V. Miscellaneous 

Describe any factors not addressed in the above questions 

that might serve to distinguish your facility from others 

in this source category for purposes of developing a . 

separate source category or subcategory and MACT standards.
