Chapter 3 ⎯ Affected Environmentalso has to comply with 40 CFR 60.116b for fuel tanks. This standard requires maintaining recordsfor the life of the tank. The records include a copy of the tank design, capacity, and throughput.FRA has decentralized the central heating and power plant and pursued an Alaska State Air QualityControl Plan (#237CP02) in order to install 523 small boilers and water heaters. The boilers and heatersare distributed throughout the installation to provide heat. Any new buildings constructed at FRAwill have to include the installation of a boiler to provide heat to the building.FRA must comply with the permit conditions identified in its Air Quality Control Plan and the provisionsin the Title V Permit Application (submitted by USARAK to the state in 1997). Compliancewith the Air Quality Control Plan must be monitored and certified annually. Compliance with the TitleV Permit Application’s provisions must be monitored and reported annually. Compliance is monitoredthrough internal Army audits. The results of these audits are submitted to ADEC upon completion.An NESHAP applicability determination was conducted to identify the unpromulgated MostAvailable Control Technology standards that could apply to the USARAK installations if the standard(s)had been written within the legislated timeframe.There are 16 significant sources of air pollution listed in the emissions inventory section of FRA’s TitleV Operating Permit Application. In addition, there are many smaller insignificant sources listed inthe inventory. Insignificant sources include small diesel generators used for backup power in individualmission-critical buildings, paint booths, small boilers, storage tanks, etc. The ADEC defines manyair emission sources as insignificant and requires minimal information on these operations. The originalstate permit to operate (9421–AA006) imposes several limitations on the emission sources atFRA’s central heating and power plant.FRA coordinates prescribed burning activities with BLM. There is a prescribed burn plan in place forthe installation. When necessary, USARAK and BLM coordinate with the state to obtain burn permits.USARAK adheres to the provisions in the burn permit.The USARAK installations are currently subject to source category NESHAPs. FRA is subject to theNational Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities (40 CFR 63 SubpartM) because this NESHAP was regulated prior to FRA establishing a minor source status. FRA wassubject to the Revised Standard for Hazardous Waste Combustors (40 CFR 60; 40 CFR 63-ProposedRule) and the NESHAPs Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40 CFR 63) while the deactivationfurnace (EU13 in the Title V Permit Application) was in operation. The deactivation furnace wasdecommissioned and dismantled, and these requirements no longer apply at the facility. In a letterdated February 16, 2001 to the ADEC, this emission source was formally removed from FRA’s list ofsignificant sources in its Title V Permit Application. FRA is also subject to the asbestos NESHAP.The asbestos NESHAP establishes work practices to minimize the release of asbestos fibers duringactivities involving the processing, handling, and disposal of asbestos and asbestos-containing materialwhen a building is being demolished or renovated. The requirements and standards are describedin 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M.FRA does not store hazardous chemicals above threshold amounts described in 40 CFR 68. Preparationof a risk management plan and a full risk assessment was therefore not required under the accidentalrelease program.FRA had two outstanding CAA notices of violations and one closed CAA notice of violation. Oneviolation pertained to the central heating and power plant, while the other violation involved the operationof the munitions deactivation furnace. Both of these violations were resolved in August 2003.The violation for the deactivation furnace was received before the emission source was decommis-February 2008 3–130 2/25th SBCT Final EIS
