Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRR) were promulgated on March 23, 2000; and amended on the following dates: December 30, 2002 (67 FR 79808); September 3, 2004 (69 FR 53980); October 3, 2005 (70 FR 57513); December 19, 2005 (70 FR 75320); September 18, 2015 (80 FR 56700); and June 13, 2016 (81 FR 38085). These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that are secondary aluminum production facilities and major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) either commencing construction, or reconstruction, after the date of proposal. This includes facilities that operate aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 1 furnaces, group 2 furnaces, sweat furnaces, dross only furnaces, rotary dross coolers, and secondary aluminum processing units (SAPUs). The SAPUs include group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers. The regulations also apply to secondary aluminum production facilities that are area sources of HAP only with respect to emissions of dioxins/furans (D/F) from thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 1 furnaces, sweat furnaces, and SAPUs. New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRR.
