Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X, applies to owners and operators of each phosphate fertilizer production and storage facility. The provisions of this subpart apply to wet-process phosphoric acid plants having a design capacity of more than 15 tons of equivalent P2O5 feed per calendar day. The affected facility includes any combination of: reactors, filters, evaporators, and hot wells. Any facility that commences construction or modification after October 22, 1974 is subject to the requirements. Owners and operators must conduct an initial performance test, record amounts of feed material and storage, record pressure drop across control devices, and comply with a total fluoride emission standard. In addition to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements listed in the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60), the phosphate fertilizer industry is required to meet the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X to determine if compliance has been achieved.
