On March 21, 2011 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published National Emission Standards for Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for boilers, solid waste criteria, and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for incineration units.  The rules include the following:

• NESHAP for new and existing area source boilers (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ).
• NESHAP for new and existing major source boilers and process heaters (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DDDDD).
• Non-hazardous secondary material, when used as fuel or ingredients in combustion units that are “solid waste” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (40 CFR Part 241).
• NSPS for new stationary sources and emission guidelines for existing commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units (40 CFR Part 60 Subparts CCCC & DDDD).

On February 21, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the final National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters, better known as the Boiler MACT. At the same time, the EPA issued the final Boiler GACT for area sources, the final Commercial/Industrial Solid Waste Incinerator (CISWI) rule, and the final Non-Hazardous Secondary Material rule. We at CTI are in the process of reviewing these rules in their entirety and will be issuing Client Alerts in the very near future.
