Abstract: EPA is proposing amendments to the 1995 national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for petroleum refineries to address the risk remianing application of the 1995 standards and EPA's 8-year review requirements for developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. This action would supplement the initial proposal issued in September 2007. The supplemental proposal contains a new option for storage vessels and revised requirements for cooling towers developed in response to public comments received on the 2007 proposal. All Group 1 storage vessels at new and existing refineries would be required to comply with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WW. Heat exchange systems associated with cooling towers also would be subject to requirements for monthly monitoring and leak repair requirements. Records would be required to document compliance with the requirements for storage vessels and cooling towers and specific information would be included in the periodic reports required by the existing rule. Other changes to the rule are clarifications and revisions to regulatory citations which do not affect the information collection requirements.
