Electric Arc Furnaces and Argon-Oxygen Decarburization Vessels in Steel Plants - Background Information for Promulgated Standards

摘要

Standards of performance for the control of particulate matter emissions from electric arc furnaces and argon-oxygen decarburization vessels at new, modified, or reconstructed steel plants are being promulgated under the authority of Sections 111, 114, and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act, as amended. These standards would apply to those affected facilities that commence construction on or after August 17, 1983, the date of original proposal. This document contains a summary of the public comments on the proposed revised standards and the EPA's responses, as well as summary economic and environmental impact statements.
