Title: NESHAP: Portland Cement Notice of Reconsideration | |
Abstract: On December 20, 2006, we published final amendments to the Portland Cement NESHAP. These amendments were in response to a remand by the D.C. Circuit Court of portions of the final rule published in 1999. At the same time as the final amendments were published, we also published a notice of reconsideration of the final new source limits for mercury and total hydrocarbons (a surrogate for non-dioxin organic HAP), and a reconsideration of the ban on the use of certain mercury containing fly ash in both new and existing kilns. We took this action because there are still substantive technical issues and there was not sufficient opportunity for public comment on parts of the final action. In addition to the reconsiderations published in the notice, we subsequently agreed to reconsider the decision not to regulate HCl, and the existing source standards for mercury and total hydrocarbons. We stated in the notice that we would complete reconsideration by December 20, 2007. However, this date has been moved back due to the extensive data gathering and analysis now involved. As part of this effort, we are requesting that four cement facilities that have wet scrubbers for SO2 control perform inlet and outlet testing for speciated mercury emissions and submit the test data to EPA to be used in the reconsideration for the new source mercury standard. Due to the impacts of the decision of the D.C. Circuit Court on the Brick Manufacturing NESHAP, we also performed significant additional data gathering on information on cement kiln mercury and total hydrocarbon inputs and emissions. | |
