  2. Overview • Air Toxics Video Clip • Air Toxics 101 • Air Toxics Notebook & Internal Resources • Federal Registers & CFRs • Air Toxics Jeopardy (time permitting)

  3. Regulatory Background • Clean Air Act – Title 1, Section 112 = “Old NESHAPS” • 1990 Amendments (CAAA) = “MACT” • Code of Federal Regulations • Part 61 • Part 63 • Subparts A – E – General • Subparts F & beyond - Standards

  4. Regulatory Background • Part 61 – “Old NESHAPs” • Still in place but rarely change, sources still subject • Not on Notebook • Title 129, Chapter 23 • Part 63 – “MACT” • Always adding & changing • On Notebook • Title 129, Chapter 28

  5. Subpart A – General Provisions • Definitions • Some spelled out in CAAA [112(a)] • Can’t find in specific rule – look in Subpart A then to dictionary • Remember, area source = minor source of HAP

  6. Subpart A – General Provisions • Compliance Dates • Notifications & Reports • Testing & Monitoring • Table in all Subparts in Part 63 • Clarify which parts of Subpart A apply

  7. Standards • CAAA – specify source categories to develop standards [112(c) & (d)] • Major sources & some area sources • MACT • Area sources & urban air toxics strategy [112(c), (d), & (k)] • MACT or GACT

  8. Case-by-Case MACT • Part 63 Subpart B • More definitions • 112(g) – Construction • 112(j) – Operating • Title 129, Chapter 27

  9. 112(g) - Construction • Major source construction • Project itself is major • If standard doesn’t exist for listed source category • NDEQ develops source specific MACT • Construction permit

  10. 112(j) - Operating • CAAA – schedule to develop standards • “MACT Hammer” • EPA has missed deadline [112(e)] to issue rule for listed source category or rule is VACATED for major source • History & updates** • NDEQ develops source specific MACT • Operating permit

  11. 112(g) & 112(j) • Rule promulgated later that applies • Comply with rule not source specific determination • If source specific determination more stringent – NDEQ can enforce its determination instead of rule

  12. Residual Risk & Technology Review • EPA to review standards every 8 years • Remaining risk [112(f)] • Second phase • New technology available [112(d)] • Some rules change a lot & others have no changes

  13. Once In, Always In • Once compliance date passes • Subject to the rule forever • Major sources • Can take limits to stay out of future rules • Doesn’t apply to most area sources (Title V)

  14. Responsibilities………… • EVERYONE needs to read the rules • My job • Help • Teach • Create • Coordinate • Contact EPA
