Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations Reconsideration | |
Abstract:
This action finalizes amendments to remove the additional continuous monitoring requirements for pressure release devices (PRDs) on containers that were added to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) in the 2015 risk and technology review (RTR) final rule. The original Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (OSWRO) NESHAP already contains standards that require the containers and closure devices, including PRDs, to either meet a Department of Transportation regulation on hazardous materials, which requires facilities to demonstrate they operate with no detectable organic emissions (Method 21), and/or meet vapor tightness requirements (Method 27). Within 24-hours of a container being accepted, the OSWRO facility must undertake a visual inspection of the container, its cover and closure devices. If containers remain on-site for a period of one year or more, facilities must visually inspect the containers and their closure devices at least once every calendar year that they remain on-site. Therefore, we have determined that the additional continuous monitoring requirement for PRDs on containers promulgated in the 2015 rule are not warranted. |
