| 06-3316 | National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial Process Cooling Towers | Uncategorized Document | On September 8, 1994, we promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for industrial process cooling towers. The rule prohibits the use of chromium-based water treatment chemicals that are known or suspected to cause cancer or have a serious health or environmental effect. Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act directs us to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after the application of national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants and to promulgate more stringent standards, if warranted, to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or prevent adverse environmental effect. Also, section 112(d)(6) of the Clean Air Act requires us to review and revise the standards, as necessary at least every 8 years, taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. On October 24, 2005, based on the findings from our residual risk and technology review, we proposed no further action to revise the standards and requested public comment. Today's final action amends the applicability section of the rule in response to public comments received on the proposed action. The final amendment provides that sources that are operated with chromium-based water treatment chemicals are subject to this standard; other industrial process cooling towers are not covered. | 2006-04-07 | 2006 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/04/07/06-3316/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-for-industrial-process-cooling-towers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-04-07/pdf/06-3316.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On September 8, 1994, we promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for industrial process cooling towers.
