Arlington, WA 98223
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 SEPA associated with this Notice of Construction Order of Approval. Fluid Motion fabricates fiberglass boats in two lamination buildings: Building 2 and Building 3. The boats range from 25-45 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 proposed Order would remove existing facility-wide emission limits established in PSCAA Order of Approval 10761 and Order of Approval 11711, which cancelled and superseded 10761. The proposed Order would establish Fluid Motion as a Title V Air Operating Permit source.
The emissions associated with this project were evaluated and could total up to 58.7 tons/year styrene, 4.32 tons/year of methyl methacrylate and 63.2 tons/year of volatile organic compound (VOC). The 63.2 tons/year total VOC includes the styrene and methyl methacrylate emissions as well as 0.08 tons/year n-Hexane and 0.03 tons/year of toluene. Each of the chemicals contributing to the total of 63.2 tons/year VOC are also classified as Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs).

The Agency has completed a review of application No. 12155 and has made a preliminary determination that the proposal meets all the requirements of Regulations I, II and III and should be approved.
