Inspection Report: K.C. Classics, Clean Air Act Stationary Source Facility Name: K.C. Classics Inspection Date: September 24, 2024 Facility Address: 1012 Woodswether Road, Kansas City, MO 64105 ICIS ID: N/A Federal Facility: No NCI: Creating Clean Air for Communities Facility size: Area Source Activity: Partial Compliance Evaluation State Referral: No EJ: Yes NAICS code: N/A Lead Inspector: Elizabeth Hubbard, ERG Inspector, (919) 468-7894 Asst. Inspector: None. Other Attendees: Region 7 Facility Contact: Facility representative declined to provide contact information. 1. Facility Description/Background: According to the business's Facebook page, K.C. Classics specializes in the repair of classic vehicles and parts sales. The facility does not report under any Clean Air Act ("CAA") subparts, so little is known about the facility's operations. The Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") conducted monitoring in the area where the facility is located several months prior to this inspection and detected emissions of volatile organic compounds ("VOCs"), so this inspection was conducted to follow up and learn more about the facility's operations and potential sources of VOCs.

Facility Entry: The representatives of the EPA, Joe Terriquez from EPA Region 7 and Elizabeth Hubbard from Eastern Research Group, Inc. ("ERG"), arrived at K.C. Classics at 1012 Woodswether Road in Kansas City, MO ("the facility"), at approximately 2:45 pm. The EPA representatives were met upon arrival by a person who declined to provide their name ("the facility representative") and stated that the location is a private garage. The EPA representatives and provided an overview and scope of the inspection. 3. Technical Discussion/Facility Walkthrough: The EPA representatives explained that they were at the facility to conduct a routine CAA inspection. They informed the facility representative that the reason they were there was due to VOC emissions detected in the area during a recent monitoring campaign and explained that they would like to gain a better understanding of any potential sources of VOC emissions at the facility. The facility representative informed the EPA representatives that they had only been a tenant at the location since August of 2024, so any VOC emissions detected in the area could not have been from K.C. Classics if monitoring occurred prior to their tenancy. The EPA representatives acknowledged this point but expressed that they would still like to gain a better understanding of the facility's operations. The EPA representatives explained that they might need to capture digital images of the facility using a digital point and shoot camera, as well as a forward looking infrared ("FLIR") video camera, model GF320. The facility representative expressed that they would prefer if the EPA representatives did not capture any images. The EPA representatives explained that capturing images might be necessary but told the facility representative they would let them know prior to taking any photos or videos. The facility representative agreed. The list of digital images taken during the inspection are included in Appendix A. The EPA representatives observed that the facility's operations all appear to take place in a single large room. A chain link fence cuts through the center of the room to separate K.C. Classics from the neighboring business to the east. The facility is located on the west end of the building, so it does not share walls with any other businesses. The EPA representatives asked the facility representative to describe the facility's operations. The facility representative informed the EPA representatives that they rent the garage to house their collection of cars. The EPA representatives asked whether any surface coating operations take place at the facility. The facility representative told the inspectors that the only painting that occurs at the facility is touchup airbrushing of cars using watercolors. The facility representative showed the EPA representatives a few bottles of paint used for airbrushing, which were labeled "water-based." The EPA representatives asked if they could take a photo of the bottles, and the facility representative agreed (see photo DSC01454.JPG). Mr. Terriquez used the FLIR camera to look around the facility and did not observe any indications of VOC emissions. The EPA representatives thanked the facility representative for their time and cooperation during the inspection. They informed the facility representative that EPA would provide the facility with an inspection report in approximately 60 days. The facility representative declined to provide contact information but told the EPA representatives they could send the inspection report to the facility's address. 4. Appendices A.
