Implementation Issues with Subpart CC

 

Implementation Issues with Subpart CC
One of the major implementation issues associated with Subpart CC and the other RCRA Organic Air Emission Standards is the lack of detailed permit conditions. Often times the permit condition states simply that the facility must comply with Subparts AA, BB and CC. This is not sufficient. Permit conditions must be unit specific. EPA Region 4 has developed a Model Permit to be used as a starting point for developing site-specifc permit conditions. In addition, an example of a site specfic permit from EPA Region 8 has also been provided.
Implementation Issues with Subpart CC
Description: Another issue is the lack of facility awareness regarding the regulations. Often, the facility mistakenly believes that units are exempt from the regulations due to overlap with the CAA or other RCRA exemptions. These units are often not identified in the permit application or go unnoticed until an inspection. EPA Region 2 has developed a 3007 Information Request which may be useful in identifying those units which require permitting. Another tool that has been developed for the permit writer is a template of notice of deficiency comments which may be used during the permit application review process to obtain additional information.
