Get Comments On National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air - SBA - Sba

In the PSD program, the regulated NSR pollutants include the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) pollutants and some other pollutants including sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, etc. In nonattainment NSR, the regulated NSR pollutants are only the NAAQS pollutants.

Common air pollutants regulated by the EPA include nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.

New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) are similar to NESHAPs, but require testing to confirm compliance. Boilers, engines and generators, grain elevators, hot-mix asphalt plants, and perc dry cleaners all have NSPS.

The regulations are known as National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). There are two types of facilities covered by NESHAPs: Major sources have the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year of a single HAP or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs.

New Source Performance Standards The emission controls required under a major NSR permitare developed for and apply to a specific stationary source, whereas the NSPS performance requirements apply to all sources within the category nationwide.

The Clean Air Act requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) NAAQS are currently set for carbon monoxide, lead, ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide.

New source performance standards (NSPS) implement Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(b) and are issued for categories of sources which EPA has listed because they cause, or contribute significantly to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.

These standards are referred to as New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and are found in 40 CFR Part 60 . The NSPS apply to new, modified and reconstructed affected facilities in specific source categories such as manufacturers of glass, cement, rubber tires and wool fiberglass.
