Subject: Monitoring and Testing Requirements and Costs for the Final Clay Ceramics 

Manufacturing NESHAP

I. Introduction

In accordance with section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) established national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants 

(NESHAP) on May 16, 2003 for the clay ceramics manufacturing industry, specifically the 

sanitaryware and ceramic tile industry sectors. Sanitaryware includes plumbing and bathroom 

fixtures such as toilets and sinks. Ceramic tile is used to cover floors and walls. The NESHAP 

regulated emissions of hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and particulate matter 

(PM)—a surrogate for hazardous air pollutant (HAP) metals—from new and reconstructed kilns 

located at clay ceramics facilities. On March 13, 2007, the D.C. Circuit Court vacated the 

emission standards for clay ceramics manufacturing due to issues associated with the 

methodology used to determine the minimum regulatory “floors” for new and existing units.

1

Therefore, on December 18, 2014, the EPA proposed new standards for clay ceramics

manufacturing, including limits for HF, HCl, mercury (Hg), non-Hg HAP metals (specifically, 

the PM surrogate), and dioxins/furans (D/F). The EPA provided a 90-day public comment period 

following proposal of the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP, during which all affected 

parties were given the opportunity to comment on the proposed rule. The EPA has considered the 

comments received and, as appropriate, incorporated them into the final rule.

The list of affected sources to be regulated has been expanded to include new and 

existing kilns, spray dryers (ceramic tile only), press dryers (floor tile only), and spray glaze 

operations (sanitaryware and floor tile only). The facilities that would be subject to the final 

NESHAP based on current operations include three sanitaryware facilities. The other clay 

ceramics facilities (wall and floor tile facilities) have taken the necessary steps to become 

synthetic area sources (i.e., have obtained a federally enforceable limit reducing emissions below 

major source thresholds), and would not be subject to the major source Clay Ceramics 

Manufacturing NESHAP. The purpose of this memorandum is to present the monitoring and 

 1 Sierra Club v. EPA, 479 F.3d 875 (D.C. Cir. 2007).

testing requirements for the final Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP and the estimated 

costs for each requirement.

II. Monitoring Requirements and Costs

Monitoring requirements are presented in this memorandum for each emission control 

scenario for the clay ceramics industry. These requirements were selected based upon a

determination of the information necessary to ensure that the emission standards are being 

followed and that emission control devices and equipment are maintained and operated properly.

These requirements are intended to ensure compliance with the clay ceramics standards without

imposing a significant additional burden for the facilities that must implement them. Table 1 

summarizes the clay ceramics monitoring requirements and costs.

For tunnel kilns not equipped with activated carbon injection systems, compliance with 

the D/F emission limit would be demonstrated by monitoring kiln stack temperature. In their 

public comments on the proposed Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP, the sanitaryware 

manufacturing company Kohler Co. asserted that the operating temperature limit needs to be 

established at a level that affords some operational flexibility. We agree with the commenter that 

redoing performance tests based on variations in kiln temperatures is not an efficient use of 

resources when the small kiln temperature variations most likely do not have an effect on the D/F 

emissions level. The better parameter for demonstrating compliance would be the kiln stack 

temperature. Dioxins and furans are known to form in post-combustion gases in temperature 

ranges of 200 to 400 degrees Celsius (°C) (392 to 752 degrees Fahrenheit [°F]) (Gullett and 

Raghunathan, 1997). Assuring that the maximum kiln stack temperature recorded during the D/F 

performance test is never exceeded will assure that the D/F limit is continuously met. Therefore, 

we are basing the performance parameter on the kiln stack temperature and not the kiln operating 

temperature.

Spray dryers typically have operating temperatures above the aforementioned

temperature range, and press dryers typically have operating temperatures below this range 

(Abraczinskas and Marinshaw, 1999). Consequently, the temperature monitoring requirement for 

spray dryers is recommended to be a minimum temperature limit to operate at or above; for press 

dryers, it is recommended to be a maximum temperature limit to operate at or below. As with 

tunnel kilns, the operating limits for spray dryers and press dryers would be established during 

the D/F performance tests for the affected sources.

The costs to monitor kiln process rate and source temperature are expected to be included 

in the cost of normal source operation. The control device monitoring costs are, in most cases, 

expected to be included in the cost of the control device. Exceptions include the cost to install 

and operate a bag leak detector (BLD) and the cost to conduct daily visible emissions (VE) 

monitoring using EPA Method 22, “Visual Determination of Fugitive Emissions from Material 

Sources and Smoke Emissions from Flares,” 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7.

The BLD costs were determined using an EPA cost model (EPA, 2007), with capitalrelated costs updated to 2011 dollars using the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI)

(CE, 2012). The BLD cost estimates are presented in 2011 dollars because 2011 was the latest 

year for which an annual cost index value was available for scaling costs at the time that costs 
3

were first being developed for the clay ceramics manufacturing rule. Table 2 documents the cost 

elements included in the BLD costs.

The VE monitoring costs were calculated based on the labor requirements associated with 

conducting a daily 15-minute VE check, preparing for and documenting the results of the VE 

checks, and having two people attend a VE training course every 5 years (Shrager, 2003). The 

VE monitoring costs are also presented in 2011 dollars. Table 3 documents the calculation of the 

VE monitoring costs. 

A summary of the monitoring costs for each affected facility is presented in Table 4, 

based on the assumption that VE monitoring using Method 22 is the only monitoring cost.

III. Testing Requirements and Costs

Testing requirements are presented in this memorandum for each pollutant (or set of 

pollutants) and affected source type for which there is an emission limit in the final Clay 

Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP. Each facility subject to the final Clay Ceramics 

Manufacturing NESHAP would conduct an initial performance test at the stack of each affected 

source using specified EPA test methods to demonstrate initial compliance with all applicable 

emission limits. These facilities would conduct a performance test for each affected source 

before renewing their title V operating permit or at least every 5 years following the initial 

performance test, as well as when an operating limit parameter value is being revised. During 

these performance tests, each sanitaryware facility subject to the final Clay Ceramics 

Manufacturing NESHAP would measure emissions of HF, HCl, Hg, PM, and D/F from the 

affected kiln stacks and emissions of PM from the affected glaze spray booth stacks.

The performance test costs were estimated assuming that the sanitaryware facilities 

would measure emissions from their affected kiln stacks using the following methods:

• HF, HCl: EPA Method 26A, “Determination of Hydrogen Halide and Halogen Emissions 

from Stationary Sources-Isokinetic Method,” 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8

• Hg: EPA Method 29, “Determination of Metals Emissions from Stationary Sources,” 40 

CFR part 60, appendix A-8

• D/F: EPA Method 23, “Determination of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and 

Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans From Stationary Sources,” 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7

The sanitaryware facilities were assumed to measure PM emissions from their glaze 

spray booth stacks using EPA Method 5, “Determination of Particulate Emissions from 

Stationary Sources,” 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3. The Method 26A, Method 29, and Method 5 

tests would consist of three runs, at 1 hour each. The Method 23 test would consist of three runs, 

at 2 hours each.

Because the numbers and types of affected sources differ for each sanitaryware facility

subject to the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP, a separate set of test costs was developed 

for each facility. For one facility, the number of kiln stacks was corrected, resulting in a revision 

of test costs for that facility. The test costs for each facility are detailed in Attachment A of this 

memorandum.
4

In public comments on the proposed rule for brick and structural clay products (BSCP) 

manufacturing (Hartman, 2015), Air-Tech Environmental stated that costs for new requirements 

should be added to the test costs. The suggested costs for these new requirements are listed 

below:

• Audits, $1000

• Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT), $2000

• Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), $2000

Given the similarity of the BSCP and clay ceramics manufacturing processes and 

regulatory requirements, the EPA has decided to include these additional test costs in 

Attachment A for the sanitaryware facilities, with 50 percent of each cost assigned to each 

individual stack test. The labor and equipment rental rates and analytical laboratory costs are 

detailed in Attachment B. A summary of the test costs for each facility is presented in Table 4.
