Applicability – Who’s In Major sources Major sources MCPU process, use, or produce organic HAP, HCl, HF, or Cl2 MCPU process, use, or produce organic HAP, HCl, HF, or Cl2

MCPU Processing equipment, including storage tanks and loading racks, operated to produce NAICS 325 organic chemical Processing equipment, including storage tanks and loading racks, operated to produce NAICS 325 organic chemical Chemical may be family of materials Chemical may be family of materials Chemical may be isolated intermediate Chemical may be isolated intermediate CMPU that has batch vents CMPU that has batch vents

Isolated intermediate Product of a process that’s stored Product of a process that’s stored Marks the end of a process, i.e., MCPU Marks the end of a process, i.e., MCPU Storage reflects long term, not batch cycle Storage reflects long term, not batch cycle Examples Examples Stored intermediate is used onsite and shipped offsite Stored intermediate is used onsite and shipped offsite Stored intermediate feeds two different processes Stored intermediate feeds two different processes

Affected Source Existing Existing Facility-wide collection of MCPU, heat exchange system, and wastewater system Facility-wide collection of MCPU, heat exchange system, and wastewater system New New New or reconstructed facility-wide operations New or reconstructed dedicated MCPU with PTE of 10/25 tons

Example #1 –Affected Source If An affected source adds new equipment to existing MCPU Then New source standards do not apply if new equipment does not constitute reconstruction of dedicated MCPU or facility-wide source

Example #2 – Affected Source If An affected source adds new equipment to create new MCPU Then New source standards do not apply if no reconstruction of facility-wide source or construction of dedicated 10/25 ton MCPU

Example #3 – Affected Source If If Major source adds new equipment and begins producing MON chemical for the first time at the facility Major source adds new equipment and begins producing MON chemical for the first time at the facilityThen Facility becomes a new affected source. Any process changes and additions are also subject to new source standards
