Abstract: The EPA is taking final action to delete the subcategory of sources that do not utilize mercury cells to produce chlorine and caustic. Because of the differences in the production method and the HAP emitted, we decided to divide the chlorine production category into two subcategories: mercury cell chlor-alkali plants, and chlorine production plants that do not rely upon mercury cells for chlorine production.
