(Doc.	1)	Comments	of	the	Vinyl	Institute,	Inc.	PVC	MA CT	Working	Group,	08

- 02

- 11, Docket	ID	No.	EPA

- HQ

- OAR

- 2002

- 0037

- 0146; (Doc.	2)	Corrected	VI	PVC	MACT	Working	Group	Comments,	09

- 11; (Doc.	4)	PolyOne	PVC	MACT	USEPA	Henry	IL	Suspension	Blending	Data	S ubmission,	09

- 30

- 11; and (Doc.	5)	VI	PVC	MACT	Direct	Economic	Impact	Estimate	for	EPA,	10

- 27

- 11. Two	overarching	considerations	for	OMB	as	it	reviews	EPA’s	draft	final	rule :



###  Do	not	allow	foreign	sourced	resins	to	supplant	U.S.	producers	that already	meet most	rigorous	emissions	limits	in	the	world; (Doc.	5)	p.	3



###  Do	not	burden	PVC	resin	consumers	with	the	expense	to	compensate for	poorer	quality	resins	produced	to	meet	EPA	limits;	( Doc.	5)	p.	2,	5, 7

- 8 Specific	recommendations	that	EPA	must	consider	in	dr afting	the	final	rule :



###  Ensure	that	MACT	floors	are	properly	calculated; (Doc.	2)	p.	4

- 6



###  Subcategorize	resins	on	basis	first	of	raw	material	monomer,	then	on basis	of	process,	and	equipment; (Doc.	2)	p.	13

- 19 , (Doc.	3)	p.	6

- 10, (Doc.	4)



###  Use	normalized,	upd ated,	and	supplemental	datasets	provided	by industry; (Doc.	1)	Attachment	7A,	7B,	7C,	7D,	12,	(Doc.	2)	Corrections to	Attachment	7C,	(Doc.	4)	Supplements	to	Attachment	7C1737	King	Street,	Suite	390, Alexandria,	VA		22314		(571)	970

###  Apply	99.9	percentile	for	vinyl	chloride	resin	limit	using	VI	4

- year database	determi ned	using	M107	test	method	for	each	subcategory; (Doc.	2)	p.	28



###  Assure	daily	compliance	for	RVCM	in	resin	determined	using	M107	is the	same	test	method	used	for	data	to	calculate	resin	floor	limits; (Doc.	2)	p.	20

- 24



###  Calculate	rolling	monthly	total	HAPs	li mits	using	99%	UPL	with	30

- day statistical	factor	of	m=12	applied	to	best	performers	by	individual	HAP added	together	for	total	monthly	HAPs; (Doc.	2)	p.	27,	29

- 35



###  Calculate	initial	11	month	compliance	for	monthly	total	HAPs	limits using	a	statistical	fact or	of	m=1; (Doc.	2)	p.	39

- 40



###  Recalculate	new	source	limits	based	on	best	performers	by	resin	grade to	reflect	the	over	one	hundred	grades	now	made	and	allow	for variability	and	flexibility; (Doc.	2)	p.	100

- 102



###  Do	not	rely	on	increasing	steam	to	resin	stri pper	for	reducing	HAPs; (Doc.	2)	p.	12



###  Emission	limits	for	process	vents	must	be	revised;	calculate	process vents	limits	using	PVC

- only	control	device	test	data	for	four	target HAPs; (Doc.	1)	Attachment	12,	(Doc.	2)	p.	45

- 47



###  Calculate	separate	emission	lim its	for	process	vents	utilizing	absorber

stripper	recovery	devices; (Doc.	2)	p.	48

- 53



###  Like	the	recent	Boiler	MACT,	dioxin	controls	should	be	based	on	work practices	and	not	the	unrealistic	emission	limit	in	the	proposed	rule; (Doc.	2)	p.	56

- 59



###  Do	not	rely on	injecting	activated	carbon	in	PVC	waste	gas	control devices	for	reducing	HAPs; (Doc.	1)	Attachment	13,	(Doc.	2)	p.	59

- 60



###  Determine	wastewater	limits	using	corrected	database; (Doc.	1) Attachment	7D,	(Doc.	2)	p.	67

###  Wastewater	limitations	are	incorre ct,	needlessly	complex,	and	should distinguish	between	in

- process	and	maintenance	wastewater; (Doc.	2) p.	69

- 80



###  Requirements	governing	closed	vent	systems	must	be	revised; (Doc.	2) p.	64

- 67



###  Accept	affirmative	defense	for	emergency	release	from	pressure saf ety	devices	instead	of	automatic	violation; (Doc.	2)	p.	95

- 98



###  The	final	PVC	MACT	should	address	regulatory	overlaps; (Doc.	2)	p. 102
