In December, EPA issued the proposed MACT standards establishing new emission limits for metal and organic hazardous air pollutants along with operating limits for capture systems and control devices and work practice requirements. APS submitted public comments (available at www.afsinc.org) to EPA voicing concerns over many of the provisions in the proposed rule and suggested that the agency staff go on plant tours to better understand foundry operations. As a result of these efforts, plant tours were arranged in Wisconsin at ThyssenKrupp Waupaca, Neenah Foundry Co., Kohler Co., Falk Corp. and Milwaukee Gray Iron. (As of press time, foundry tours of several Alabama facilities also are being arranged.) During the tours, EPA staff was able to see first-hand how the proposed standards would be applied. |
