CHFMICAL MANUFACTURFRS ASSOCIATION UtC | December 6, 1990 TO: Vinylidene Chloride Panel The legal firm of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky, & Walker sent me the new air toxic emissions limits for the state of South Carolina. Also enclosed is South Carolina's "Proposed Regulation" list, which is a result of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The proposed list includes 101 chemical substances, including vinylidene chloride. In addition, I talked to Dance Wallace of EPA. He will be sending me more information on his study. I will forward this additional data to you when I receive it. If you have any questions, please call me at 202/887-1189. Sincerely, Jonathon T. Busch Manager, Vinylidene Chloride Panel ?!'01 M Street.

MEMORANDUM TO CMA VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE PANEL Re: South Carolina Toxic Air Pollutants Regulation Attached is an air toxics regulation that sets emission limits for facilities in South Carolina with res pect to specified air toxics. This regulation has been approved by the Board of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control and submitted to the South Carolina legislature for its review. It lists approximately 159 substances that were drawn from lists used by four or five other states and from EPA proposals. Also attached is a second list, entitled "Proposed Regulation," which would add to the South Carolina list of air toxics 101 additional substances, including vinylidene chloride, that are listed in the Clean Air Act Amendments but are not on South Carolina's initial list. It has not yet been approved by the Board nor submitted to the legisla ture. The lists divide substances based on chronic exposures as follows: Category I: Low Toxicity - Those pollu tants which cause remedial reversible changes which disappear after exposure ends. Category II: Moderate Toxicity Those pollutants which may cause chronic reversible or irreversible changes that are not severe enough to result in death or permanent injury. Category III: SL 062313 MEMORANDUM TO CMA VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE PANEL December 4, 1990 Page 2 High Toxicity - Those pollutants which may cause chronic effects that result in death or permanent injury after very short exposure to small quantities. We have been told by personnel from the South Carolina Bureau of Air Quality Control that substances were clas sified into categories of toxicity based on information obtained primarily from Irving Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Chemicals. For example, a listed substance would be classified in Category III if Sax said IARC found the substance to be a carcinogen. Vinylidene chloride is listed on the proposed second list in Category III: High Toxicity. A maximum allowable concentration of 99.00 /xg/m3 is proposed for vinylidene chloride. These regulations currently apply only to emis sions from industrial facilities. We are not aware of whether any member company or member's customers would be affected by the regulation because of plants in South Carolina. The Panel may want to consider commenting on the proposed listing of vinylidene chloride, if any member is likely to be affected, assuming the proposed findings are controversial. R.

Toxic Air Pollutants. I. GENERAL APPLICABILITY. This Standard is applicable to sources of toxic air pollutants as provided below. This Standard does not apply to fuel burning sources which burn only virgin fuel or specification used oil. The terms in this Standard are used as defined in South Carolina Air Pollution Control Regulations and Standards Regulation 62.1. Section I, "Definitions". A. EXISTING SOURCES: Any person with an existing source of any toxic air pollutant shall be required to show compliance with this standard not later than two years after the effective date of this standard. These sources must provide the Department with the name and Chemical Abstract Service(CAS) number of the chemical, stack parameters, and emission rate data. If potential emissions of any single toxic air pollutant are 1000 lbs/month or greater an operating permit will be required. An operating permit may or may not be required for sources with emissions less than 1000 lbs/month. This determination will take into consideration, but not be limited to, the nature and amount of the pollutants, location, proximity to commercial establishments and residences. Any person holding an operating permit prior to the effective date of this standard shall be required to submit toxic air pollutant data prior to renewal of the operating permit, but not later than two years after the effective date of this standard. Toxic air pollutant data must be submitted for all sources at the facility, including sources not previously subject to permit requirements. B. NEW SOURCES: Any person who constructs, alters, or adds to a source of toxic air pollutants after the effective date of this standard, shall comply with this standard. These sources must provide the Department with the name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number of the chemical, stack parameters, and emission rate data. If potential emissions of any single toxic air pollutant are 1000 lbs/month or greater a construction permit will be required. A permit may or may not be required for sources with emissions less than 1000 lbs/month; however, all sources are required to provide data on toxic emissions. This determination will take into consideration, but will not be limited to, the nature and amount of the pollutants, location, proximity to residences and commercial establishments, etc. C. This standard will not supersede any requirements imposed by Federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants nor any special permit conditions, unless this standard would impose a more restrictive emission limit. D. Additions and deletions to the list of Toxic Air Pollutants may be made following normal administrative procedures SL 062315 II. TOXIC AIR EMISSIONS. A, Toxic emissions data provided by the source will be modeled using the latest versions of United States Environmental Protection agency air dispersion models to determine the concentration of the toxic air pollutant in the ambient air at or beyond the plant property line, using 24-hour averaging. B. The allowable ambient air concentration of a toxic air pollutant at the plant property line as determined by modeling under Part A shall be limited to the value listed in the following table. The pollutants are divided into three categories based on chronic exposure as follows: Category Is Low Toxicity Those pollutants which cause readily reversible changes which disappear after exposure ends. Category II; Moderate Toxicity - Those pollutants which may cause chronic reversible or irreversible changes that are not severe enough to result in death or permanent injury. Category III: High Toxicity - Those pollutants which may cause chronic effects that result in death or permanent injury after very short exposure to small quantities. CHEMICAL NAME CAS NO.

If modeling indicates that the maximum allowable concentration is exceeded, the Department may allow approved, site specific modeling by the source on a case-by-case basis. If this approach does not demonstrate that the public health will be adequately protected, the source will be required to reduce emissions by implementing controls, altering the process, or limiting production. SL 62319 IV. SOURCE TEST REQUIREMENTS. The owner or operator of all sources of toxic air pollutants shall conduct such tests as required by the Department to verify toxic air pollutant emission rates. The test methods and procedures used shall be approved by the Department prior to testing. V. RECORDKEEPING. A. Copies of all records and reports required under this Standard shall be available for inspection by the Department during normal business hours and copies shall be provided to the Department within ten working days of receipt of a written request by the Oepartr^nt. B. Copies all records and reports required under this Standard shall be maintained by the owner/operator for 3 years after the date on which the record was made or the report submitted. SL 062320
