The contact person for the facility is Mr. Lonny E. Beal, CSP, Safety and Occupational Health Manager, at (202) 512-0537 or [email protected].

The following is an estimate of overall potential emissions from the facility:

FACILITY-WIDE EMISSIONS SUMMARY [TONS PER YEAR]
Pollutants	Potential Emissions
Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)	0.26
Oxides of Nitrogen (NO_x)	16.99
Total Particulate Matter (PM Total)	31.44
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)	88.09
Carbon Monoxide (CO)	12.58
Total Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)	9.09

This facility has the potential to emit (PTE) approximately 88.09 tons per year (TPY) of VOC. This exceeds the major source threshold for VOC in the District of Columbia of 25 TPY. Because potential emissions of VOC exceed the major source threshold, pursuant to 20 DCMR 300.1(a), the source is subject to Chapter 3 (Title V) and must obtain an operating permit in accordance with that regulation and Title V of the federal Clean Air Act.
