Title

Proposed Amendment Rule 1401-New Source Review of Toxic Air Contaminants & Impact Assessment for Facilities Subject to Rule1402

Description

The proposed project consist of adding new or revising existing non-cancer chronic and acute reference exposure levels (RELs) for acetaldehyde, acrolein, arsenic, fluorides, formaldehyde, manganese and mercury to the Rule 1401 list of toxic air contaminants (TACs), which would affect new, modified or relocated facilities. Rule 1402 regulates the same TACs that are listed in Table I in Rule 1401 at existing facilities. Because adding new or revising existing non-cancer chronic and acute RELs in Table I in Rule 1401 affects facilities subject to Rule 1402, it is necessary to perform an impact assessment for facilities subject to Rule 1402. The Draft EA concluded that no facilities would be required to install control equipment or change production as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, no adverse environmental impacts are expected from implementation of Proposed Amended Rule 1401.
