Final Rule - Area Source GACT Standards

On October 29, 2009 the EPA issued the final rule imposing Area Source Generally Available Control Technology (GACT) standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) at chemical manufacturing facilities that are minor HAP sources.  The final rule was substantially revised from the proposal in large part due to a technical study conducted by Dixon Environmental on behalf of the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturers Association (SOCMA).  This rule has the potential to affect 450 facilities with more than 150 "small entities" by EPA's estimate! The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources 40 Part 63 Subpart VVVVVV was published in the Federal Register on October 29, 2009.

A Fact Sheet has been prepared by Dixon Environmental which describes the applicability, promulgated standards and possible consequences of this rule. To obtain a copy of this Fact Sheet send an e-mail to info [at] dixonenvironmental [dot] com
