Title V List of Exempt Equipment

Page of

Use this form for all application submittals requesting an initial Title V permit or permit renewal. If you are applying for a permit revision, you may

also use this form to have your exempt equipment listing updated prior to renewing your permit.

This form is designed to summarize all of the equipment at a facility that is exempt per SCAQMD Rule 219 from SCAQMD permit requirements

(e.g., I.C. Engines ≤ 50 BHP, Boilers < 2 MM BTU/hr etc.). This equipment can be listed according to category. However, if there is a specific

device that is vented to control equipment, then the equipment must be listed separately. Trivial activities listed on the back of this form or the

Technical Guidance Document do not have to be listed on this form. Note: If your facility is in the RECLAIM program, it is not

necessary to repeat

any equipment currently listed in Appendix A of the RECLAIM permit.

1. Facility Name (Business Name of Operator That Appears On Permit): 2. Valid AQMD Facility ID (Available On Permit Or Invoice

Issued By AQMD):

3. Check box if facility is in RECLAIM program:

Trivial Activities

 Combustion emissions from propulsion of mobile sources, except for vessel emissions from Outer

Continental Shelf sources

 Air-conditioning units used for human comfort that do not have applicable requirements under Title VI of the

Act

 Ventilating units used for human comfort that do not exhaust air pollutants into the ambient air from any

manufacturing/industrial or commercial process

 Non-commercial food preparation

 Consumer use of office equipment and products, not including printers or businesses primarily involved in

photographic reproduction

 Janitorial services and consumer use of janitorial products

 Internal combustion engines used for landscaping purposes

 Laundry activities, except for dry-cleaning and steam boilers

 Bathroom/toilet vent emissions

 Emergency (backup) electrical generators at residential locations

 Tobacco smoking rooms and areas

 Blacksmith forges

 Plant maintenance and upkeep activities (e.g., grounds-keeping, general repairs, cleaning, painting, welding,

plumbing, re-tarring roofs, installing insulation, and paving parking lots) provided these activities are not

conducted as part of a manufacturing process, are not related to the source’s primary business activity, and

not otherwise triggering a permit modification

 Repair or maintenance shop activities not related to the source’s primary business activity, not including

emissions from surface coating or de-greasing (solvent metal cleaning) activities, and not otherwise

triggering a permit modification

 Portable electrical generators that can be moved by hand from one location to another

 Hand-held equipment for buffing, polishing, cutting, drilling, sawing, grinding, turning or machining wood,

metal or plastic

 Brazing, soldering and welding equipment, and cutting torches related to manufacturing and construction

activities that do not result in emission of HAP metals

 Bench-scale laboratory equipment used for physical or chemical analysis, but not lab fume hoods or vents

 Routine calibration and maintenance of laboratory equipment or other analytical instruments

 Equipment used for quality control/assurance or inspection purposes, including sampling equipment used to

withdraw materials for analysis

 Hydraulic and hydrostatic testing equipment

 Environmental chambers not using hazardous air pollutant (HAP) gasses

 Shock chambers

 Humidity chambers

 Solar simulators

 Fugitive emission related to movement of passenger vehicles, provided any required fugitive

dust control plan or its equivalent is submitted

 Process water filtration systems and demineralizers

 Demineralized water tanks and demineralizer vents Air compressors and pneumatically

operated equipment, including hand tools

 Batteries and battery charging stations, except at battery manufacturing plants

 Storage tanks, vessels and containers holding or storing liquid substances that will not emit any

VOC or HAP

 Storage tanks, reservoirs, and pumping and handling equipment of any size containing soaps,

vegetable oil, grease, animal fat and nonvolatile aqueous salt solutions, provided appropriate

lids and covers are utilized

 Equipment used to mix and package soaps, vegetable oil, grease, animal fat, and nonvolatile

aqueous salt solutions, provided appropriate lids and covers are utilized

 Drop hammers or hydraulic presses for forging or metalworking

 Equipment used exclusively to slaughter animals, but not including other equipment at

slaughterhouses, such as rendering cookers, boilers, heating plants, incinerators, and electrical

power generating equipment

 Vents from continuous emissions monitors and other analyzers

 Natural gas pressure regulator vents, excluding venting at oil and gas production facilities

 Hand-held applicator equipment for hot melt adhesives with no VOC in the adhesive

formulation

 Equipment used for surface coating, painting, dipping or spraying operations, except those that

will emit VOC or HAP

 CO

lasers, used only on metals and other materials which do not emit HAP in the process

 Consumer use of paper trimmers/binders

 Electric or steam-heated drying ovens and autoclaves, but not the emissions from the articles

or substance being processed in the ovens or autoclaves or the boilers delivering the steam

 Salt baths using nonvolatile salts that do not result in emissions of any regulated air pollutants

 Laser trimmers using dust collection to prevent fugitive emissions

 Boiler water treatment operations, not including cooling towers

 Oxygen scavenging (de-aeration) of water

 Ozone generators

 Fire suppression systems

 Emergency road flares

 Steam vents and safety relief valves

 Steam leaks

 Steam cleaning operations

 Steam sterilizers

Cleaning and painting activities qualify as trivial if they are not subject to VOC or HAP control requirements. Asphalt batch plant owners/operators must still get a permit if otherwise required.

“Moved by hand” means it can be moved without the assistance of any motorized or non-motorized vehicle, conveyance or device.

Brazing, soldering and welding equipment, and cutting torches related to manufacturing and construction activities that emit HAP metals are more appropriate for treatment as unpermitted equipment. Brazing, soldering,

welding and cutting torches directly related to plant maintenance and upkeep and repair or maintenance shop activities that emit HAP metals are treated as trivial and listed separately in this appendix.

Many lab fume hoods or vents might qualify for treatment as unpermitted equipment.

Exemptions for storage tanks containing petroleum liquids or other volatile organic liquids should be based on size limits such as storage tank capacity and vapor pressure of liquids stored and are not appropriate for this list.
