The NESHAP for Site Remediation was proposed on July 30, 2001, and promulgated on October 8, 2003. Other amendments to these regulations were proposed on May 1, 2006, and promulgated on November 29, 2006. These regulations apply to site remediation activities that use certain types of equipment to clean up materials containing organics that potentially could be released to the atmosphere as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). These site remediation activities can potentially be conducted at any facility where materials containing organic HAP currently are or have been stored, processed, treated, or otherwise managed at the facility. The types of businesses most likely to be subject to the rule include, but are not limited to, organic liquid storage terminals, petroleum refineries, chemical manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing facilities using organic materials. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
This proposed rulemaking would amend title 40, chapter I, part 63 subpart GGGGG by removing an exemption from the applicability provisions for site remediation activities performed under the authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA) and for site remediation activities performed under a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action or other required RCRA order. Burden changes associated with the proposed amendments would result from emissions control and monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for facilities that now become subject to subpart GGGGG.
