DoD facilities that are a major source of HAPs and that manufacture, repair or rework any aerospace vehicle will have to contend with the aerospace National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The rule which becomes effective September 1, 1998 requires reductions in volatile organic compounds (VOC) and organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Reductions will be achieved by use of primers and topcoats that meet regulatory limits for VOC or organic HAP or using air pollution control systems. At some DoD facilities preparations have been made to comply with the standard when the standard is in effect. The requirements of 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart GG (aerospace NESHAP) are briefly summarized. The impacts that have been experienced at an Air Force base that is currently practicing most of the NESHAP requirements in order to comply with existing state requirements are discussed.
