Guidance to State and Local Agencies in Preparing Regulations to Control Volatile Organic Compounds from Ten Stationary Source Categories

摘要

This document provides assistance to state and local air pollution control agencies in preparing Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations for 10 industrial categories covered by the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) documents published between January 1978 and January 1979. The CTG source categories covered by this report are as follows: Leaks from Petroleum Refinery Equipment; Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products; Manufacture of Vegetable Oil; Surface Coating of Flat Wood Paneling; Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products; Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires; Graphic Arts - Rotogravure and Flexography; Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof Tanks; Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Systems; and Leaks from Gasoline Tank Trucks and Vapor Collection Systems. The intent of this report is to provide a rational and factual basis for state and local agencies to develop industry-specific RACT regulations in their own codes. A specific sample regulation is written for each CTG industrial category. After each section within each sample regulation there is a discussion of information pertinent to that section. Appendix A contains general provisions which are not based on the CTG documents but are provided strictly as additional information for regulatory agencies' consideration. Appendix B contains written comments received on the draft final report, reprinted in their entirety.
