Control technology program for newly installed stationary sources and decrement emission of existing stationary sources within Class 3 control regions

Absrtact
Main results of this project could divide into six categories. Please refer to the following: 1.Researching and augmenting regulations of control technology of stationary pollution sources in Class 3 control regions In accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 4 of the Air Pollution Control Act., this plan helped EPA to research and augment regulations on reasonably available control technology (herein referred to as RACT), best available control technology (herein referred to as BACT) and lowest achievable emission rate control technology (herein referred to as LAER). To reinforce the regulation within Class 3, this plan assisted in drafting the threshold of specific large pollution sources and providing suggestion. The yearly emission of stationary sources in power industry and petroleum industry exceeds 100 ton shall apply LAER. In response to the ozone trend, this plan proposed plans for BACT and RACT for the reduction of VOCs emissions. By reviewing current regulations, this plan provided suggestion about six processes for coating to amend BACT. Regarding existing sources, this plan established RACT on coil coating and marine coating. Lastly, a document was also provided for examining control technology. 2.Reviewing Co-firing Ratios and Component Standards Owing to Co-firing Ratios and Component Standards for Fuel Used in Stationary Pollution Sources publicized on March 23, 2021, this plan helped EPA to grasp the situation of implementing and provided suggestion through data analysis and field surveys. Moreover, this plan compiled training material and improvement strategies in correspondence of current problem. 3.Establishing the estimate of local air pollutant emission and management system To integrate the estimate of local air pollutant emission, this plan reviewed the regulations and management system in the United States and consulted specialists to establish an integrated management system. This plan has compiled 87 processes for boilers and 10 printings and completed 67 emission factors for boilers. Furthermore, this plan also dedicated to developing systems for declaration management and evaluation. 4.Reviewing total quantity control plan and related regulations In view of Kao-Pin Total Quantity Control Plan, there were some problems which affected market liquidity and practical applications. To optimize exchange & transactions problems and correspond to the modification of authorization in the Air Pollution Control Act., this plan assisted EPA in establishing emission reduction recognition reserve exchange & transactions and proposing some suggestions over different periods to boost the market activity. Furthermore, a guideline was also provided for conducting total quantity control plan. 5.Augmenting stationary sources management system and maintaining the quota of air pollutant management system This plan helped EPA to develop an open system for executive organizations to publicize permit application and emergency response plan and warning notification for air polluting accident. The functions of searching and management for executive organizations have been completed. Moreover, for the operation of stationary sources management system and the quota of air pollutant management system, this plan has updated the software and conducted risk management. Lastly, certain contact person was also provides for executive organization to use the systems. 6. Administration To conduct the plan, two meetings were held to elaborate the issues including exchange & transactions regulation and emission factors. This plan also consulted specialists to discuss the establishment of emission factor. Besides, to review the result of reduction emission from boiler, this plan updated the emission data and provided suitable suggestions.
