National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing 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, and Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing. The
standards and associated requirements for the nine area source
categories are combined in one subpart. 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.
DATES: This final rule is effective on October 29, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0334. All documents in the docket are listed in the
