## Pulp and Paper Sector Survey

Overview Survey c overage . The pulp and paper sector survey is a three

-part information request that a pplies for pulp and/or paper/paperboard mills that are a “major source” or “synthetic area source” of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions that: (a) Perform chemical wood pulping (kraft, sulfite, soda, or semi

- chemical), or (b) Perform mechanical, groundwood (e.g., thermomechanical pulping (TMP), refiner mechanical pulping (RMP)), secondary fiber, and non

- wood pulping, or (c ) Perform bleaching, or (d) Manufacture paper or paperboard products. As defined in 40 CFR Part 63, subpart A,

“ Major source ” means any stationary source or group of stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit considering controls, in the aggregate, 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants, unless the Administrator establishes a lesser quantity, or in the case of radionuclides, different criteria from those specified in this sentence.
A “synthetic area source” is a stationary source which is subject to federally

- enforceable conditions that limit its potential to emit to below major source thresholds. Mills exempt from the pulp and paper sector survey
. If your mill is not a “major source” or “synthetic area source” of HAP emissions, then you should complete the form in Attachment 1 and email (or fax) it to Bill Schrock of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at schrock.bill@epa.gov

. If your mill is a true area source , then your operating permit should reflect that your mill is not subject to either of the pulp and paper national emissions st andards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP ) (40 CFR P art 63, subpart S or MM). You are not required to complete any part of the pulp and paper sector survey if you submit valid documentation of true area source status. If your mill is a “major source” or “synthetic area source,” but was not operational in 2009 (and remains closed) or does not produce pulp, perform bleaching, or manufacture paper or paperboard products, then you should complete the form in Attachment 1 and email (or fax) it to Bill Schro ck of EPA at schrock.bill@epa.gov explaining the status of your mill. You are not required to complete any part of the pulp and paper sector survey. Survey structure and due dates
. T he pulp and paper sector survey is to be completed in a series of Micro soft Excel spreadsheet files that are divided into several worksheets (“tabs” within each spreadsheet). You must complete certain portions of the survey , depending on the type of mill you operate. Parts I and II apply for all mills , except true area source and non

- op erational mills, as noted above . Parts I and III request process data for the emissions units listed in Attachment 1 of the instructions for each p art. Part II requests an NEI update for all emissions units. Additional spreadsheets are prov ided for submittal of continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) data or control measure cost information (for Part I and Part III).Survey Overvie w Document Form A pproved __/__/__ OMB Control No. ____
