Title: NESHAP--Area Source Standards--Nine Metal Fabrication and Finishing Source Categories (12 SICs, 23 NAICS Codes) | |
Abstract: Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) outlines the statutory requirements for the EPA's stationary source air toxics program. Section 112(k) requires the development of standards for area sources which account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 33 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. These area source standards can require control levels equivalent to generally available control technology (GACT). The following nine (9) metal fabrication and finishing area source categories were been identified from the 1990 HAP inventory as contributing to the 33 urban HAP emissions (Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb): (1)Electrical and Electronic Equipment Finishing Operations (SICs 3699, 3621), (2)Fabricated Metal Products (SIC 3499), (3)Fabricated Plate Work (Boiler Shops) (SIC 3443), (4)Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing (SIC 3441), (5)Heating Equipment, except Electric (SIC 3433), (6)Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Finishing Operations (SICs 3531, 3533, 3561), (7)Iron and Steel Forging (SIC 3462), (8)Primary Metal Products Manufacturing (SIC 3399), (9)Valves and Pipe Fittings (SIC 3494). These 9 industry sectors have common and similar metal fabrication and finishing processes: Dry abrasive blasting, dry machining/grinding, painting, and welding. | |
