Dear Mr. McLerran,

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is in the process of a rulemaking that proposes to adopt new and amended federal NSPS and NESHAP standards. This includes adopting by reference new NSPS and NESHAP standards for boilers and process heaters, stationary internal combustion engines, nitric acid plants, and crude oil and natural gas production, transmission and distribution.

This rulemaking also proposes to adopt rules to implement new federal emission guidelines for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units and adopt by reference the federal plan for hospital, medical, and infectious waste incinerators

Attached is the draft cover memo for the public notice package and draft rule language. You will be receiving a complete rulemaking package in the near future.

If you have any questions or comments you can reach me at (503) 229-6974 or email me at EBERSOLE.Gerald@deq.state.or.us.

Sincerely,

Gerald C. Ebersole

Hazardous Air Pollutant Analyst
