Compliance with California Rule 480, Chrome Plating Facility, Building 243G, McClellan Air Force Base California

Abstract

California Rule 480, adopted in Aug 1989, specifies emissions standards for hexavalent chromium based on annual hexavalent chromium emissions and requires facilities to conduct compliance testing every 2 years. Compliance testing by personnel from the Armstrong Laboratory was conducted on the chrome plating facility, Bldg 243G at McClellan AFB. Two of the 3 scrubbers were tested using CARB Method 425 for total and hexavalent chrome. Results indicate the facility produces less than 2 lb (0.9 kg) per year of hexavalent chromium and is in compliance with rule 480 with an emission of equal to or less than .0034 mg/amp-h. Recommendations are made as to required biennial compliance testing.
