Proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paper and Other Web Coating Residual Risk and Technology Review

EPA has evaluated the risks remaining after fully implementing the 2002 Paper and Other Web Coating National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)and determined that risks from this source category are acceptable. In addition, the agency identified no developments in practices, processes or control technologies that would further reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants. EPA is proposing no significant changes to the original NESHAP for these source categories as a result of the residual risk and technology review and has determined the standards continue to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health and the environment.
