Abstract: he National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Lime Manufacturing Plants (40 CR Part 63, Subpart AAAAA) were proposed on December 20, 2002; promulgated on January 5, 2004; and amended on April 20, 2006. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that either emit or has the potential to emit any single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year from all emission sources at the plant site. This subpart covers lime kilns, their associated coolers, and processed stone handling (PSH) operation systems located at a lime manufacturing plant that is a major source. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Final amendments to the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing were promulgated on July 24, 2020, based on the results of a residual risk and technology review of the regulation (85 FR 44960). The information collection herein represents proposed rulemaking to add emission standards for four previously unregulated pollutants. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of the NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regional offices.
