Description of EU-PRIMEWEST The ambient flash zone in EU-PRIMERWEST is a short section of the painting process located after the prime spray booth before the vehicle body enters the oven. The EU-PRIMERWEST ambient flash zone is not ducted to the RTO but is instead routed to an exhaust stack. The violation pertains to the failure to install the of ducting and equipment which resulted in no connection to the regenerative thermal oxidizer (“RTO”). The current ducting is connected to the existing exhaust stack which is poisoning the air the residents currently breathe.
