NESHAP/NSPS Rule Proposal

DEQ recommends that EQC adopt new and amended federal air quality regulations and related permit rules. The recommendation includes adopting new national performance and emission standards for electric utility steam generating units, gold mine ore processing and production, polyvinyl chloride and copolymers production, and sewage sludge incinerators and changes to the federal gasoline dispensing facility rules. The proposed rules also clarify when and if Air Contaminant Discharge Permits are required for sources subject to federal New Source Performance Standards and NESHAPs.
