Title: NESHAP: Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities Residual Risk Standards
Abstract: EPA developed technology-based emission standards for this source category under section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act. The current action, required by Section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act, is to assess residual risks and develop additional emission standards, as necessary, to provide an ample margin of safety. Approximately 27,000 perchloroethylene (perc) dry cleaning facilities are in existence. Fifteen of these facilities are major sources (use > 2100 gallons of perc per year), subject to MACT requirements under the technology-based NESHAP requirements. The remaining facilities are area sources (use <2100 gallons of perc per year) subject to GACT requirements under the NESHAP. The peer reviewed risk assessment revealed risk from major source dry cleaning facilities in excess of 100 in a million, therefore, EPA is currently assessing options to reduce risk from these facilities. EPA has agreed with litigants to a deadline of April 28, 2006 for completion of this effort.
