Stationary Combustion Turbines-Archived Background

last updated

This page contains background material for reference only. For the rule and implementation information, please access http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/turbine/turbinepg.html

Background

Under Section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act of 1990 (CAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required to develop national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for source categories. The EPA has determined that combustion turbines may be major sources for emissions of one or more of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in Section 112(b) of the CAA. The source category list schedule published by EPA requires that the NESHAP for this source category be promulgated by November 15, 2000. Regulatory activity for other Combustion-Related Rules is also available.

Stakeholders

Archived Files

ICCR Archives Files from the Industrial Combustion Coordinated Rulemaking (ICCR) Federal Advisory Committee. This Committee was chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). It's objective was to develop recommendations for regulations for several combustion sources under Sections 112 and 129 of the Clean Air Act. The combustion sources included industrial-commercial-institutional boilers, process heaters, stationary combustion turbines, stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines, and non-hazardous solid waste incinerators (excluding municipal solid waste and hospital/medical/infectious solid waste). The charter for the Committee expired in September, 1998. See Combustion Related Rules for information on regulations for other combustion sources.
