General Structure of Projects • Introduce the project and get agreement from business to participate • Identify current products and suppliers • Assess products • Identify potential alternative products • Provide samples • Test samples • If company agrees to make a change, provide a case of product to get them started Round 1: Auto repair and industrial maintenance pilot projects • Outreach to MN auto repair and industrial maintenance facilities • Assess product use at industrial/automotive businesses • Identified safer alternatives • Companies trialed grant purchased sample of new product • MnTAP provided hands-on technical support • 23 facilities conducted trials/12 implemented change • 3,030 lbs VOC, 760 lbs HAP, 650 solid waste, $7,470 savings EPA SRA Grant Project X9-00E01322-0 Demonstrating and Trialing Products • Potential replacements have to work for the process! • With trials, observe how the trial product compares to the current product • Time it takes to do the job • Does it leave any unwanted residue? • Can you use the same method? (type of rag, force needed to clean, etc) • Overall, can you achieve the results required for the job? Round 2: Duluth Degreasing Blitz • Air Quality Project for Duluth, Minnesota, EPA “Making a Visible Difference in Communities” • Identified sites using the Mergent Intellect Database and developed a batch-geo road map for accomplishing the site visits. • Needed to be fast due to travel constraints • 50 shops visited in two days • 32 Businesses sampled product, 16 redeemed vouchers, 10 sites implemented change • 1700 Pounds of VOCs, 660 Pounds HAPs EPA CEP Grant Project X9-00E02031 Vendors and Samples • Worked with local suppliers in advance to get buy-in • Advanced Auto Parts • O’Reilly • Auto Value • Put together a product list • Acquired samples • Created vouchers. Blitz Assessments • Quick Intro • University of Minnesota Project on brake cleaners • Offer a free case of brake cleaner. • Goals: • reduce VOCs, chemicals that contribute to air pollution • HAPs, chemicals that can have adverse effects on human health • Collect information • Type of brake cleaner used • Quantity • Preferred vendors • Provide sample product and voucher • Follow up by phone within a month to learn how the safer product worked. Round 3: Phillips Community Small Automotive Businesses • The Phillips community is an area of Minneapolis with high concentrations of environmental impacts. • A MnTAP intern was based at a community partner to work with small businesses. • Partnerships with business groups were helpful in building trust. • Short initial contact • Provide samples after assessment • Quick in-person follow up • Contacted 24 shops • 14 participated, 11 made changes • 430 lbs HAPs, 840 lbs VOCs EPA SRA X9-00E02051 Overall Outcomes • 89 facilities engaged/informed of safer products • 55 facilities conducted trials • 22 facilities implemented change • 4700 lbs VOCs eliminated • 1400 lbs HAPs eliminated • 650 lbs of solid waste by changing to bulk products • $7,740 per year in savings for businesses Key Learning - Engagement • Providing trial product critical to engagement • Community partnerships help build trust • Not easy for facilities to choose safer products • Simple messaging is important • Avoid technical jargon • Focus on human health risks - especially exposure to HAPs • Helpful to explain that sample products have tested positively with other sites • Quick visits are good, showing that you understand their time constraints • Follow-up soon after visit (within 1 week recommended) Key Learning - Formulations • Acetone – the VOC Exempt alternative • There were some complaints about smell and headaches • 50-60 wt% was a threshold where complaints increased • Common that employees don’t use any PPE when degreasing • Avoid HAPs • Toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, and methanol were most common • Adding 5-10% to increase cleaning power in 90% Acetone mixes is still 5- 10% HAPs • Citrus cleaners were not recommended • d-limonene is a VOC, MIR = 4.55, acute aquatic toxicity • Perception is that if it smells like oranges, its okay because its natural • One alternative may not work for every job – partial change is still an improvement Key Learning – Bulk Products • Pressurized streams are preferred at most shops • Benefits • Bulk products are usually much cheaper than aerosol products • Reduce packaging • Eliminate propellants, which also may be VOCs • Obstacles • Often only available in 55 gallon drums • Too much inventory for small businesses • Difficult to transport • May create reporting obligation, hazardous waste generator • Upgrading from bulk cleaner to the safest bulk cleaners is often a big price increase Key Learning - Working with suppliers • It is helpful to get suppliers on board • Suppliers may/may not stock safer products • Education is needed. • Many of the best options are formulated for California. Some suppliers think these products cannot be sold elsewhere. • Pricing and supplier relationships are big • Shops may get a great deal if they have one supplier for all products What’s Ahead- Round 4: North Minneapolis • North Minneapolis is another area with higher than average air quality impacts. • Grant funded by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency • Plan to work with a variety of businesses, automotive and industrial • Engagements will be by MnTAP staff, with a format similar to Phillips intern project • Preparation in progress now, outreach and trials at businesses planned for late fall 2017-spring 2018.

  • Adopted Part 235 Consumer Products and Part 200 General Provisions
    Revised Summary of Express Terms 6 NYCRR Part 235, Consumer Products 6 NYCRR Part 200, General Provisions The Division of Air Resources is revising 6 NYCRR Part 235, “Consumer Products” (Part 235) to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, improve air quality, and promote regional product consistency. The revisions will help the state attain federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and work toward regionally consistent regulations amongst the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) states. The revisions include adding nine new product categories and revising ten existing categories in order to reduce the VOC content of the products through lower VOC content limits. Part 200 will be revised to incorporate referenced materials, including American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) testing procedures, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) provisions supporting this regulation, and to update references to Part 235. Part 235 will be revised to incorporate new definitions and revise some categories in the existing definitions. Additionally, Subpart 235-3 will be updated to add new VOC limits, conform to the revised definitions and product categories, and to remove obsolete text and references. Changes throughout the proposal include a January 1, 2022 compliance date for the new VOC limits on new and reformulated products in the regulation. Likewise, changes were made in the definitions section to provide transitional language, where necessary, for those categories of products that were redefined or revised, to cite which emission standards apply before or after the compliance date of the regulation. Page 1 of 4 The revisions include setting VOC content limits for nine new product categories and lowering the VOC content limits for ten existing product categories.
