Suggested Control Measure for Architectural Coatings

Suggested Control Measure for Architectural Coatings

The proposed project is designed to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from architectural coatings. The proposed SCM sets allowable VOC content limits for a number of architectual coating categories, including catergories such as flats, non-flats, industrial maintenance coatings, lacquers, floor coatings, stains, rust preventative coatings, quick-dry enamels, "primers, sealers, and undercoats," etc. The proposed VOC limits have effective dates of January 1, 2004, for industrial maintenance coatings and January 1, 2003, for all other coating catergories. Other components of the proposed SCM include a three-year "sell-through" provision (for coatings manufactured before the applicable effective dates), definitions, test methods, standards for painting practices and thinning of coatings, and container labeling and reporting requirements. The Draft Program EIR concludes that no significant adverse environmental effects would result from the proposed project.
