11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses
and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this
checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not
need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this
form to include additional specific information on project description.)
Project:
• Add a gelcoat spray booth and extension of conveyor to the existing
Acrylic Line to allow FRP Products to be produced on this line along with
Acrylic Products. Doubling the current FRP capacity if needed.
Equipment:
• One spray booth.
• One gelcoat spray station with related equipment for dispensing, same as
existing equipment on the FRP Line.
• Extension of conveyor by 170 ft. to allow for gelcoat cure before next
coating.

the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any,
and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a
range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal
description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available.
While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required

B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS
1. Earth
DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS PROJECT
Construction will be assembling walls and installing equipment.
2. Air
SEPA Environmental checklist (WAC 197 -11 -960) July 2016 Page 2 of 7
a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal during construction,
operation, and maintenance when the project is completed? If any, generally
describe and give approximate quantities if known.
Increase in styrene emissions due to increased daily production from
approximately 280 bathtubs to 550. New emissions will be routed to the already
installed abatement system which removes 92% of the VOCs.
b. Are there any off -site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If
so, generally describe.
No
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any:
The additional spray booth will be added to the air pollution control device in the
same manner as the other booths. Removes 92% of emissions.
