| 02-17360 | National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Site Remediation | Proposed Rule | This action proposes National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under the authority of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the site remediation source category. The EPA has determined that site remediation activities can be major sources of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP) (including benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, vinyl chloride, xylenes) and other volatile organic compounds (VOC). The range of potential human health effects associated with exposure to these organic HAP and VOC include cancer, aplastic anemia, upper respiratory tract irritation, liver damage, and neurotoxic effects (e.g., headache, dizziness, nausea, tremors). The proposed rule would implement section 112(d) of the CAA by requiring those affected site remediation activities to meet emissions limitations, operating limit, and work practice standards reflecting the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). When implemented, we estimate that the proposed rule would reduce annual regulated HAP emissions from the source category by approximately 50 percent or 570 megagrams per year (Mg/yr) (630 tons per year (tpy)) and reduce nationwide VOC emissions by 3,680 Mg/yr (4,050 tpy). | 2002-07-30 | 2002 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/07/30/02-17360/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-site-remediation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-07-30/pdf/02-17360.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This action proposes National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under the authority of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the site remediation source category.
