This regulation covers new and existing plywood and composite wood products (PCWP) facilities. Plywood and/or composite products are manufactured by bonding wood material (fibers, particles, strands, veneers, etc.), or agricultural fiber with resin, generally under heat and pressure, to form a structural panel, or engineered wood product. Plywood and composite products include, but are not limited to, plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented strand board, hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists, kiln-dried lumber and glue-laminated beams.
Owners/operators of plywood and composite products facilities are required to submit initial notification, performance tests, and compliance status reports. Respondents also are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Semiannual reports also are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP.
