Proposed Changes to the MON Rule

On August 6, 2008, the EPA published proposed changes to the MON rule in the Federal Register.  The comment period closes on September 22, 2008.  There are a number of proposed technical changes as described in the attached and I have highlighted a few important ones as follows:

• You may use any combination of compliance methods from Table 2 for batch process vents to demonstrate compliance; 98% control, 95% recovery and/or 20 ppm outlet.



• You only need to perform the properly operating process condenser demonstration where a HAP is heated above its boiling point. This requirement is only applicable to batch process vents and is not required where HAP is present only as an impurity.



• Adding monitoring requirements for non-regenerative carbon absorbers used for controlling storage tanks. (Previously, you need to request operating limits from the administrator for such devices.)

The Federal Register with the proposed changes can be veiwed in the Refernce Library (EPA- Federal Register_HON&MON Proposed Changes_08-08-2008).  Please carefully review the proposed changes and email info@dixonenvironmental.com or contact Dixon Environmental directly, with any questions.
