The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (the Agency) is publishing a public notice for a Notice of Construction Order of Approval for Fluid Motion, LLC in Arlington and is also publishing a preliminary Determination of Nonsignificance as Lead Agency for the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) associated with this Notice of Construction Order of Approval. Fluid Motion is an existing Title V Air Operating Permit source which fabricates fiberglass boats. The proposed Order would expand operations to a third building (Building 10). The boats fabricated in Building 10 would range from 25-28 feet and are manually fabricated with open molds. Gel coat resin, vinlyester and polyester resins are applied to the molds to produce hulls, decks, and small parts. Upholstery and wood fixtures are also assembled at the facility.
The emissions associated with this project were evaluated and could total up to 9.9 tons/year styrene, 0.7 tons/year of methyl methacrylate and 11.4 tons/year of volatile organic compound (VOC). The 11.4 tons/year total VOC includes the styrene and methyl methacrylate emissions listed. Each of the chemicals contributing to the total of 11.4 tons/year VOC are also classified as Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs).
