Ogden Air Logistics Center
BackgroundAir Requirements Related to Materials
Over 50 of the 90 Conditions in the Hill AFB Title V Permit Require Documentation and Monitoring of Materials
Pollutant Concentration LimitsSulfur, Volatile Organic Compounds, and Hazardous Air Pollutants
Vapor Pressure LimitsMaterial Consumption LimitsTiered Process Controls based on Material and Operation Type
Annual Air Emission Inventory Requires Tracking of Material Throughputs by Process for Over 1,000 Processes
Ogden Air Logistics Center
BackgroundExtensive Documentation Required
Documenting Air Compliance using Material Logs was a Major Task at Hill AFB:
> 500,000 Hazardous Material Issues per Year> 7,000 Different Active Hazardous Materials> 1,400 New Hazardous Materials each Year> 1,000 Processes of Concern for AirNumerous Shop Personnel
Logs Required Entry of Various Parameters Daily by Material

Old Approach:
HM Information Recorded on Logs at each Process by Operator
New Approach:
Use existing data systems instead of logs by adding HM tracking to processes, additional HM characterization, and revised business practices.

Data System Cleanup/SetupCharacterize Materials
To demonstrate compliance with air regulations various information must be available for each material.
Material TypeHigh Vapor Pressure Solvent, Top Coat, Primer, Specialty Coating, etc
VOC ContentHAP ContentVapor Pressure
Must be calculated at standard temperature which may vary depending on the rule
Ogden Air Logistics Center
Data System Cleanup/SetupIssue to Process
An evaluation of each process is conducted to determine which materials can be used.
Applicable Air Requirements Based on Process Typee.g., Vapor Degreaser, Aerospace Paint Booth, NSPS Boiler, etc.
Other Applicable Requirementse.g., Bio Engineering, Safety, Occupational Health, Waste, etc.
Material link to process is hard coded in the system.

Business Practices
Mixed Operations Apply Most Stringent Requirements
e.g., Paint Booths which apply coatings to aerospace and non-aerospace items are subject to aerospace controls at all times during operation.
Only Use Hazardous Materials as Specified in the Authorization Request
As Applied Material Characteristics can be Obtained from HMMS
All Hazardous Materials must be Authorized Before Use and Issues must be Recorded in HMMS

Audits
Audits are Necessary to EnsureMaterial Characterization is CorrectMaterials are Getting to the Correct ProcessBusiness Practices are Followed
Hazardous Materials Group Audits (Existing)~95 HDSCs per Semi-Annual Period
Air Group Audits (New)~900 Processes Annually
Ogden Air Logistics Center
A revolutionary change in doing business:Web-based front-end.Greater exchange of information.More consistent data.Minimizes multiple entries of data.
