Corps of Engineers Painting and Its Compliance with Clean Air Act Regulations

Abstract

This report assesses the impact of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S. C. 7401 et seq.; P.L. 95-95), and of Army regulations on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in particular, on Corps of Engineers painting specification. The researchers reviewed the paints specified in CEGS-09900, General Painting, CW- 09940, Painting: Hydraulic Structures and Appurtenant Works, and CE-R-09.2, Painting, and found that many paints did not comply with restrictive regulations on VOC content. For each of these paints, the voc content is given, and is given, and alternate, compliant paints are suggested.
