you need to know to comply with the
NESHAP for Portland Cement
Manufacturing Industry Regulation (40 CFR Part 63)
|
The USEPA
published the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Source Catagories: Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry
Regulations on June 14, 1999. This NESHAP or MACT for Portland Cement
facilities, or PC MACT Regulation, is the air emissions control
regulation for cement kilns that do not burn hazardous waste as
fuel. This regulation specifies the
emissions standards for two hazardous air pollutants (HAPs),
specifically : PCDDs/PCDFs (dioxins and furans) and particulates. There are additional restrictions for kilns
and material dryers constructed after March 24, 1998.
This page provides links to various GCI documents which
address various aspects of this rule and compliance activities. Special Note: There have been important changes to the rule
in an Agreement with the EPA due to a suit brought by APCA. Link
to Agreement. Note especially that a
maximum production rate is no longer required to be set during the
compliance test. Update! On April 5th the EPA published amendments to the PC MACT rule incorporating this agreement. Link to the April 5 FR in PDF format. |
