<br />01/27/1998 15:12 <br /> <br />GARY MCLEAN INC <br /> <br />PAGE 08 <br /> <br />5124841903 <br /> <br /> <br />12251 Tech Road, snver Spring, Maryland 20904 <br /> <br />(301) 62:Z~1900 <br /> <br />The Drycleaning Industry and the Clean Air <br />Act Amendments Of 199o-Guide to Likely <br />Federal and State EPA Regulations <br />What Are the Clean Air Act Amendments All About? <br /> <br />The origioal Oean All Act first became law in 1963, and was last amended In 1977-13 years ago, The new <br />amendments--over 300 pages worth-significantly overhaul and expand existing Clean Air Act requirements. <br />Passed by Congress in late October, the amendments were signed into law by tne President on November 15, <br />1990. The flnaJ law-which incorporates changes sought by the dryc1eaning industry-is tough but fair. <br />Keel' in mind that the new Oean Air amendments generally set broad-based requirements, not industry- <br />specific equipment standards. Instead, U.S. EPA must develop individual r~lat:ions. for every affected <br />industry. Tnis takes time-and puts the DnaJ decisions on controls 1n EPA's hands. IFt has already been working <br />with EPA'5 Air Office, and have so far found them to be responsive to uS as a small-business industry. <br /> <br />As a Plant Owner. What Types of New Regulations Can I Expect? <br /> <br />There are eleven key areas (called "Titles") in the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990, of which several will <br />have applicability to the drycleaning industry. These include Title f Non.Attainment (petroleum); Title III Air <br />Toxies (pere); Title V Operating Permits (all solvents); and, Title VI Stratospheric Ozone (F-113 and 1.1 ,1~Tri. <br />chloroethane)---althoug" the "'levelfl of effect wll1 vary. In the following sections, the likely effects and/or <br />direction of regulations are grouped by solvent or type of regulation. <br /> <br />PETROLEUM SOL VENT PLANTS <br /> <br />How Do Petroleum Emissions Fit In Under the Clean Air Act? <br /> <br />Petroleum solvent is a hydrocarbon mixtu~. Hydrocarbons break down in the lower atmosphere to form ozone, <br />the primary constituent In smog. O.:;one is known as a "conventional pollutant;" the maximum allowable level Is <br />0.12 ppm. Areas in a state that exceed this level are required to controt emisSions of hydrocarbons and other <br />pn,,;ursor9 that rontribute to ozone and smog formation. <br /> <br />Whet Type of New Regulations Can I Expect? <br /> <br />No new emission standards will be required, as EPA has previously issued a eTG "model" regulation for <br />existing plants and Q NSPS regulation for new or modified plants. Some states ?f cities ,may have to tighten <br />up on exemption levels for exJsting pfants--see the next questions for further Information on this. <br /> <br />What Are the Existing Regulations for Petroleum Plants? <br /> <br />In brief the erG "sample" regulation sent to the states In 1982 recommended a 32,500 gallon per year <br />exemptio~ level for existing plants. If a plant used mOre than that, states ~ere el\courage~ to adopt. a regulation <br />that would require existing plants to instalJ petroleum recovery dryers In place of tlieu conventlonaf dryers, <br />and-if filtration was being used-to use only cartridge filters (or some other system that gave no more than <br />0.15 gallons lost per every 100 pounds cleaned). . . <br />The federal NSPS standard-in effect since December 14, 1982-requires that any new or eXisting petroleum <br />plant can only purchase a recovery dryer- if purchase of a new or replacement dryer would give more than <br />84 pounds of total petroleum dryer capacity in the plant. Additionally, an~ new or replacement filter system <br />that is purchased must be a cartridge filter (or have very low solvent loss In wastes). <br /> <br />...... <br />7 <br />~ <br /> <br />0: <br />~ <br />~ <br />tr1 <br />,::j <br />Z <br />~ <br />~ <br />z <br />r <br />> <br />~ <br />:x <br /> <br />z <br />o <br />. <br /> <br />VJ <br />
