1.		Background:   Eastman Chemical Resins is a chemical process plant.  
It had 75 units that were initially determined to be BART eligible.  The
company decided to retire four of those units (four tanks) in order to
reduce potential emissions to below 250 tpy for all eligible pollutants.

2.		Process Description:  The Source ID numbers of the BART eligible
units at this facility are listed on the attached table.

3.		Regulatory Analysis:

Eastman Chemical Resins has sources at this facility which were
originally constructed between 1962 and 1977.  To address the BART
requirements, the company elected to retire four tanks.  Tanks 17, 18,
61 and 63 (corresponding to Sources S202, S202, S224 and S226) have been
retired from service and the company has removed them from its Operating
Permit Application.  To memorialize the company’s decision to retire
these tanks, the Allegheny County Health Department issued an Order on
April 24, 2008, stating that “Eastman shall immediately and
permanently render volatile organic storage tanks 17, 18, 61 & 63
unusable for the storage of VOCs.”  (Even before this Order, the ACHD
had conducted an inspection of the tanks in November, 2007, and found
that one had large holes cut into it and the that the piping and
instrumentation had been removed from the others, making it impossible
for the tanks to be placed back into service without making major
modifications.)  As a result, total emissions do not exceed 250 tpy for
any of the eligible pollutants.  Thus the plant’s units are not
subject to the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements
that are a part of the Regional Haze rules specified in 40 CFR Part 51,
Subpart P Protection of Visibility.  Finally, were those units subject
to the BART requirements, there currently is not adequate technology
available to determine visibility impairment by individual sources of
VOCs.

BART Analysis:  Not required.
