Abstract: EPA is proposing national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the following nine metal fabrication and finishing area source categories that were identified from the 1990 HAP inventory as contributing to urban HAP emissions of Cd, Cr, Mn. Ni, Pb: (1) Electrical and Electronic Equipment Finishing Operations, (2) Fabricated Metal Products, (3) Fabricated Plate Work (Boiler Shops), (4) Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing, (5)Heating Equipment, except Electric, (6) Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Finishing Operations, (7) Iron and Steel Forging, (8)Primary Metal Products Manufacturing, (9) Valves and Pipe Fittings. These nine industry sectors have five common and similar metal fabrication and finishing processes: dry abrasive blasting, dry grinding and dry polishing with machines, machining, painting, and welding. We are proposing regulations to establish generally available control technology (GACT) for these processes in the form of management practices and equipment standards. The industry is already generally well-controlled in terms of these operations.
