Contact Summary: 

Mr. Hennessy was contacted on May 27, 1998, to clarify infonnation provided in the 

Screening Infonnation Request which had been filled out by Ms. Janeen Jackson, who is no longer 

with the company. 

I asked about the statement in their response to the Screening Information Request in which 

they indicate "3 application stations" and asked if this meant they had three continuous larnination 

lines. Mr. Hennessy indicated that they have one continuous lamination line, which is located at the 

West Cameron Road in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The application stations are in series such that their 

continuous lamination line is composed .of the following steps, which sandwiches the sign between 

two layers of reinforced fiberglass: 

fiberglass - resin application - sign — resin application - fiberglass - resin application 

Mr. Hennessy noted that the wet out area for the continuous larnination line is about 40 to 50 feet 

long and about 4 feet wide. The resin is heated to 95 degrees F when it is applied. 

Mr. Hennessy also noted that the pultrusion operation is no longer located at the West 

Cameron Road facility, but has been moved to Glendale, Wisconsin. 

I noted that the Screening Information Request indicated that about 375 tons per year of resin 

is processed in the continuous lamination line and asked if this was still accurate. Mr. Hennessy 

replied that the amount of resin currently being processed in their continuous larnination line is about 

50% lower due primarily to market conditions and to a lesser extent improved efficiency. He also 

noted that they are using tha same material on the line as they did when the Screening Information 

Request was tilled out 

I asked if they had been any changes to the continuous lamination line since the request was 

filled out, and Mr. Hennessy indicated mat, other than the replacement of the oven due to wear and 

tear, there have been no changes to the line since 1991.

I asked if they had done any updating of emission estimates and noted the 47% emission 

factor they had derived as reported in their response to the Screening Infonnation Request Mr. 

Hennessy said that the 47% emission factor (as a percentage of the styrene initially introduced into 

the process) was obtained using a material balance approach and in a manner to simulate actual 

application conditions. He believes that mis emission factor accurately reflects their emissions and 

have used it for emission reporting purposes. He also noted that their resin suppliers thought the 

emission rate would be in the range of 20 to 30% of the available HAP. 

Finally, I asked about the availability of a Title V permit Mr. Hennessy said that they have 

a Title V permit and that it was available online via the Internet. Mr. Hennessy indicated that he 

would provide me with the Internet address from which I could access their Title V permit.
