Fugitive emission sources; (3) Leakage from pump, compressor, and agitatorseals; (4) Leaks from relief valves; (5) Manual venting of gases; (6)Opening of equipment; (7) Samples; (8) Leak detection and elimination; and(9) In process wastewater. [40 CFR 61.65 (7/1/90)]**PEER REVIEWED**Vinyl chloride formation and purification: The concn of vinyl chloride ineach exhaust gas stream from any equipment used in vinyl chlorideformation and/or purification is not to exceed 10 ppm (average for 3 hrperiod), except as provided in 40 CFR 61.65(a). [40 CFR 61.63(7/1/90)]**PEER REVIEWED**This action promulgates standards of performance for equipment leaks ofVolatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the Synthetic Organic ChemicalManufacturing Industry (SOCMI). The intended effect of these standards isto require all newly constructed, modified, and reconstructed SOCMIprocess units to use the best demonstrated system of continuous emissionreduction for equipment leaks of VOC, considering costs, non air qualityhealth and environmental impact and energy requirements. Vinyl chloride isproduced, as an intermediate or a final product, by process units coveredunder this subpart. [40 CFR 60.489 (7/1/2000)]**PEER REVIEWED**Vinyl chloride has been designated as a hazardous air pollutant undersection 112 of the Clean Air Act. [40 CFR 61.01 (7/1/2000)]**PEERREVIEWED**Listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) generally known or suspected tocause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990,directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduceroutine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish andphase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sourcesthat emit one or more of the listed pollutants. Vinyl chloride is includedon this list.
