Abstract: The EPA is proposing amendments to the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON) that revise provisions pertaining to emissions from flares, pressure relief devices (PRDs), process vents, storage vessels, pressure vessels, storage vessel degassing, heat exchange systems, maintenance vents, wastewater, and equipment leaks. The EPA is also proposing to add requirements pertaining to Ethylene Oxide (EtO) emissions from flares, process vents, storage vessels, heat exchange systems, equipment leaks, and wastewater; and dioxins and furans emissions from process vents. In addition, the EPA is proposing amendments to the HON that revise provisions pertaining to emissions during periods of SSM, add requirements for electronic reporting of periodic reports and performance test results, fenceline monitoring, carbon adsorbers, and bypass monitoring, and make other minor clarifications and corrections.
