Show 2. Waste Definition Task Group2: This group produced a document that included a list of fuels agreed upon by consensus and it identified potential alternatives when agreement was not reached. The C C discussed this document and forwarded to the E P A with two other documents. The first document identified the position of the majority of stakeholders. This majority position included a wider variety of materials in the fuel category, provided a mechanism for defining materials as wastes based upon their composition and recommended the establishment of a D e Minimus leveL The second document was more restrictive. It designated a minimum number of materials as fuels and if a material was not listed as a fuel it would be a solid waste. The second document did not allow a D e Minimus level to regulate units that co-fire small quantities of waste under Section 112. 3. Pollution Prevention Task Group: This group examined potential pollution prevention techniques that could be considered for promulgation with the standards. The task group produced documents describing good combustion practices, operator training, metrics for measuring emissions and techniques to encourage waste minimization. The Coordinating Committee sent these documents to the individual work groups for consideration as they developed recommendations for M A C T Standards. The Coordinating Committee has also transmitted these documents to the E P A for its use. 4. Milestone Subtracking Group: This group gathered information from each work group and charted the progress. Individual work groups also formed subgroups to handle various issues more efficiently. A subgroup could be involved with a specific type of equipment, with assessing potential control equipment, with analyzing data in the inventory database or the emissions database, with identifying testing needs, etc. STAKEHOLDERS The ICCR process brought vested interests (stakeholders) into a dialogue to promote adequate participation of all interested parties into the rulemaking process. The goal was to produce consistent regulations that will reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from combustion equipment used in industrial and commercial establishments. Section 111 dealing with priority pollutants also addresses equipment when appropriate. The composition of the groups attempted to achieve a balance between various stakeholders. The Coordinating Committee and its work groups had members from the following categories: Industry and - Equipment users and member companies from trade associations. Trade Associations See Tables 1 & 2. Manufacturers - Combustion and Air Pollution Control Equipment. See Table 3. Small Business - Furniture Manufacturers, etc. 2 The definition of solid wastes can include liquid, semi-solid, and contained gaseous wastes. C:\jps\iccr\overviewa 3 |
