I. Introduction

This report presents an analysis of the current com pliance status of Chrome

Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing facilities opera ting in the South Coast Air

Basin. Report results are based on recent joint in spections performed by South

Coast Air Quality Management District (District) an d Air Resources Board (ARB)

staff. Inspections were conducted at 71 facilities . This represents approximately

50 percent of the permitted inventory of the Distri ct. Each inspection involved a

complete walk through of the facility, review of re cords, and sample collection

when deemed appropriate. ARB staff prepared an ins pection form which listed all

the Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Chromium Pla ting and Chromic Acid

Anodizing Facilities (ATCM) requirements to documen t inspection findings. The

District uses an inspection form to determine compl iance with their Rule 1469 in

conjunction with a checklist for ATCM requirements. Refer to Attachment A for a

copy of ARB and District inspection forms.

2. Background

Chrome platers are currently regulated by the requi rements of the governing

ATCM to control hexavalent chromium which is an ext remely hazardous human

carcinogen. The amendments to the ATCM for Chrome Plating and Chromic

Acid Anodizing facilities were approved by the Air Resources Board (Board) at

the December 7, 2006 hearing and became legally eff ective on October 24, 2007.

In Resolution 06-25, in which the amendments were a pproved, the Board

directed staff to report back to them in 18 months on compliance with the ATCM.

Findings from this study along with data generated from other districts will form

the basis of our report to the Board.

The amended ATCM incorporates new control strategie s such as housekeeping

measures. Some of the regulatory requirements have become effective since

April 2008. Other requirements, involving control equipment and associated

source testing to verify compliance limits, will be come effective between

October 2009 and 2011 based upon proximity to sensi tive receptors and

permitted throughput.

3. Benefits of Study

Results obtained from this study allowed us to obta in real data and determine if

operators are on track to meet their respective emi ssion control requirements.

The results should help the District in planning fo r resources to meet the

forthcoming permitting and source test workload nec essary to comply with the

requirements of the ATCM. The inspections also pro vided the District staff the

opportunity to explain to the source the upcoming m ilestones and available

compliance alternatives.

# I - 2

Similar studies were conducted in the Bay Area, San Joaquin Valley, and San

Diego air districts. These three districts, along with South Coast represent about

90 percent of the permitted chrome plating faciliti es in the State.

4. Discussion of Results

The District inspects chrome platers on a quarterly basis. Inspections include

verification of compliance with the requirements of District Rule 1469 and the

governing ATCM. This report only presents results with respect to compliance

with the governing ATCM.

A. Overall Compliance

Overall compliance of inspected facilities is very high. The inspection of 71

facilities did not provide any non-compliance scena rios which would have

necessitated the issuance of violation notices resu lting in enforcement action.

Almost one third of the facilities were in full com pliance. However, approximately

69 percent of the facilities inspected were issued a Notice to Comply under the

District’s Minor Violation Rule. Almost all the mi nor violations documented were

related to the Housekeeping requirements of the ATC M which have become

effective since April 2008. Refer to Attachment B for detailed inspection results.

We attribute the current high rate of compliance to quarterly inspections

conducted by the District, training and outreach, e nforcement deterrence, and the

fact that chrome plating regulations have been in p lace for over 15 years. For

historical perspective, chrome plating inspections conducted in 2000 showed full

compliance only at 28 percent of the facilities. T his increased to 78 percent in

2003 and is currently 100 percent using absence of major violations as a

measure of comparison.

The Table below gives compliance statistics for the 71 facilities inspected.

B. Compliance with Traditional Requirements

Compliance with the traditional requirements of fum e suppressant addition for

surface tension, maintenance and operation of contr ol equipment, source testing,

and other requirements related to monitoring, recor dkeeping, reporting, training,

etc. is very good. Facilities have good familiarit y with the traditional requirements

which were part of the original ATCM and enforced g enerally through District

Rule 1469.

C. Compliance with new ATCM Requirements Currently in Effect

Compliance with some of the requirements which are currently in effect is as

follows:

1) Distance to Sensitive Receptor – This along with permitted throughput is a

key piece of data which dictates the level of contr ol and compliance

timeline of a plating facility. The ATCM requires this data to be submitted

to the District by November 2007. All sources have submitted this data to

the District. The District has cross checked this data and maintains a list

of all permitted sources with this information. Du ring inspections, distance

to sensitive receptors was checked against informat ion provided by the

facilities and found to be correct.

2) Use of Correct Chemical Fume Suppressant – This requirement has been

in effect since April 2008 and requires sources to use specific chemical

fume suppressants listed in the ATCM at specified s urface tensions. All

facilities inspected were using approved chemical f ume suppressants and

aware of the surface tension requirement. Samples of bath solution were

taken from four facilities, tested by the District laboratory and found to be

in compliance.

# I - 4

3) Physical Housekeeping Requirements – These requi rements are in effect

since April 2008 and are described in Section 93102 .5(c) of the ATCM.

Compliance with the housekeeping requirements of th e ATCM is an area

which will need improvement. Forty-three of the 71 facilities inspected had

at least one housekeeping issue and were issued not ices to comply (NTC)

pursuant to the District’s Minor Violation Rule. R efer to Attachment C for

photographs giving examples of good compliance (or lack of) in this area.

All facilities were in compliance with the housekee ping requirements

related to storage and transport of chromic acid fl akes and handling of

chromium waste. Housekeeping areas which need impr ovement are

described below.

a. Some facilities were found to have minor chromic acid spills/drips or

did not have a proper cleaning schedule.

b. Eleven facilities needed to install or extend dr ip trays to minimize

dragout.

c. Eleven facilities needed to install, repair, or extend splash guards at

the tank to minimize overspray.

d. The ATCM also requires facilities to separate bu ffing, grinding, or

polishing areas from the plating area by means of a physical barrier.

Only about 10 percent of the facilities inspected h ad an inadequate

or no barrier between the grinding and plating area s.

4) Recordkeeping Associated with Housekeeping Requi rements – 30 of the

71 facilities inspected had inadequate housekeeping records. The District

is working with the sources in this regard and givi ng them forms which can

be used to comply with this requirement.

5) Training – All sources inspected had received tr aining from the District.

6) Other Records – All sources are in compliance wi th the requirements for

preparing an Initial Inspection Compliance Status R eport, Inspection and

Maintenance Plan, and Ongoing Compliance Status Rep ort. Notices to

Comply were issued to five sources because the plan s were not found on

the premises.

D. Compliance with Future ATCM Requirements

None of the 71 facilities inspected in this study c an currently comply with

emission limits solely through use of fume suppress ants. Inspected facilities will

have to meet the emission limit of 0.0015 milligram /ampere-hour by installing an

add-on control device by October 24, 2009, 2010, or 2011. The effective dates

will depend upon sensitive receptor distance and an nual permitted ampere-hours.

Fortunately, 56 percent of the facilities inspected (39 out of 71) are already

operating with permitted add-on controls. Fifteen of these facilities have valid

source tests and will not require any further actio n to meet the upcoming

# I - 5

compliance dates. Twenty four facilities will requ ire source testing to verify

emission limits because they have never been source tested, failed the test, or

because the tests were performed before January 200 0.

Thirty-two of the 71 facilities inspected will requ ire add-on controls and source

tests to demonstrate compliance with the emission l imits. For most of these

facilities, the compliance date is October 24, 2009 . Facilities were reminded that

the process of obtaining quotes, engineering and in stallation, permit processing,

and source testing the system could make it a chall enge to meet this deadline.

Projecting the data to the entire District inventor y (of 140 active sources), we

anticipate 64 facilities would need to install add- on controls and go through the

permitting and source testing processes. This numb er could be reduced by a few

facilities if sources reduce permitted ampere-hours and become eligible for using

chemical fume suppressants as the sole source of co ntrol.

The Table below summarizes the status of facilities with respect to control

requirements based on this study.

5. District Timeline for Modifying Rule 1469

The District recently amended Rule 1469 – Hexavalen t Chromium Emissions

from Chrome Plating and Chromic Acid Anodizing Oper ations to incorporate the

more stringent requirements of the State ATCM. A p ublic workshop regarding

Proposed Amended Rule (PAR) 1469 was conducted on O ctober 2, 2008. The

District’s Governing Board subsequently approved PA R 1469 on

December 5, 2008.

6. Status of Current Permits

The District has mailed compliance advisories to al l sources to inform them of

new requirements. However, current facility permit s do not incorporate latest

requirements from the ATCM. We recommend that the District incorporate the

latest air toxic control measure/rule requirements as permit conditions.

7. Recommendations

The District should follow-up on the housekeeping i ssues discovered during the

inspections. All other areas were found to be in h igh compliance and do not

require any special attention other than routine in spections.

The District should be prepared for the upcoming pe rmitting and source testing

workload related to the approximately 64 facilities which may require additional

controls. Another 40 to 50 sources will need to be source tested.

Some of the sources are small businesses and may re quire additional help in

understanding available compliance options.

All permits should be modified to include the lates t Rule 1469 requirements as

permit conditions.

The District should revise Notice of Violation/Noti ce to Comply Guidelines for

Rule 1469 to incorporate new housekeeping related r equirements.
