NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON AIR QUALITY ISSUES

 

Proposed Rulemaking on Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs)

 

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 512 at 1200 First Street, N.E., 5th Floor, in Washington, D.C., 20002. This hearing provides interested parties an opportunity to comment on the District’s proposed rulemaking on Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs).

 

The District Department of the Environment (DDOE) is proposing amendments to certain sections of the air quality regulations that pertain to hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) for these source categories: Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities, Hard and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks, Halogenated Solvent Cleaning, Publicly Owned Treatment Works, Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, Hospital and Other Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers, Gasoline Dispensing Facilities, Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources, and Area Source Plating and Polishing Operations, and the Printing and Publishing Industry. These rules replace the previous National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements in 20 DCMR § 717 (where older versions of some of these regulations had previously been adopted by reference) and the District’s own requirements for HAPs in other sections of 20 DCMR chapter 7.  

 

The proposed regulation is available for public review during normal business hours at the offices of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE), 1200 First Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20002, and on-line at http://ddoe.dc.gov/ddoe.
