Anne Blankenship reports that EPA has issued final national emission standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants for nine area source categories in the chemical manufacturing sector:
• Agricultural Chemicals and Pesticides Manufacturing
• Cyclic Crude and Intermediate Production
• Industrial Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing
• Industrial Organic Chemical Manufacturing
• Inorganic Pigments Manufacturing
• Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing
• Plastic Materials and Resins Manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical Production
• Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing
This final rule establishes emission standards in the form of management practices for each chemical manufacturing process unit as well as emission limits for certain subcategories of process vents and storage tanks. The rule also establishes management practices and other emission reduction requirements for subcategories of wastewater systems and heat exchange systems.
This final rule is effective on October 29, 2009.
