Title: Addition of Method 208, Protocol for the Source Testing, Analysis, and Reporting of VOC Emissions From Hot Mix Asphalt Plant Dryers 
Abstract: Method 208 will produce more accurate measurement of the mass of volatile organic carbon (VOC) emissions from asphalt paving operations than any other current method for measuring VOC. The method will allow the EPA to make a more accurate assessment of whether asphalt paving plants are major sources under the Federal programs for New Source Review and Prevention of Significant Deterioration. This method was developed by the National Asphalt Paving Association specifically for asphalt paving plants as an alternative to existing EPA methods for measuring VOC. The National Asphalt Paving Association requested that EPA promulgate these methods to make them more widely available and acceptable for use in meeting various environmental regulations.
