Key Changes
- Approval of source-specific RACT for Ohio's major VOC and NOX sources
- Impact on operational practices of facilities like Lubrizol, Henkel, and Cleveland-Cliffs
- Ensures compliance with state assessments for emission controls
Obligations
What this law requires
Major VOC and NOX sources not covered by CTGs with potential to emit 100+ tpy must submit detailed source-specific RACT studies analyzing technological and economic feasibility of available control measures within one year of rule effective date
Facilities must ensure existing controls and emissions limits align with Ohio's RACT determinations and state assessments for VOC and NOX emissions
Existing boilers, stationary combustion turbines, stationary internal combustion engines, reheat furnaces, and other sources at facilities must comply with NOX RACT rules in OAC Chapter 3745-110 if uncontrolled potential to emit is 100+ tpy
VOC source categories in the Cleveland nonattainment area must comply with RACT rules in OAC Chapter 3745-21 if uncontrolled potential to emit is 100+ tpy for both CTG and non-CTG major sources
Ohio must evaluate information provided in required RACT studies and make RACT determinations for each major non-CTG source of VOCs and NOX
