The final amendments establish an emission limit for total hydrocarbons (THC) and mercury for new kilns. To demonstrate compliance with the THC limit, owners or operators of kilns will be required to continuously monitor THC emissions; performance tests are required to show compliance with the mercury limits. Respondents will be required to maintain records of cement kiln dust recycled or wasted.
Amendments were made to the existing rule in compliance with section 112 of the CAA. Additional records/reports are needed to confirm compliance of both existing and new or reconstructed sources.
