EPA issues final RICE NESHAP

Anne Blankenship reports that yesterday EPA issued the final NESHAP for reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) that either are located at area sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions or that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake horsepower and are located at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions.

In addition, EPA issued the final NESHAP for existing non-emergency stationary compression ignition engines greater than 500 brake horsepower that are located at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions. Finally, EPA is revising the provisions related to startup, shutdown, and malfunction for the engines that were regulated previously by these national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants.

This final rule is effective on May 3, 2010.
