Seminar Series on Air Emissions Control at
Waste Management Facilities
This Seminar series is being cosponsored by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Offices of Research
and Development (Technology Transfer and Support
Division) and Air Quality Planning and Standards
(Emission Standards Division), with support from the
Office of Solid Waste, and the U.S. Department of
Energy, RCRA/CERCLA Division.
Purpose
Air emissions from hazardous waste management
pose a threat to human health and the environment.
The chemicals processed during waste management
operations can volatilize into the /atmosphere and
cause carcinogenic or other toxic effects or contribute
to ozone formation. Regulations have been developed
to control air emissions from these operations. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has promul-
gated standards under the authority of Section 3004 of
the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that
limit organic air emissions from v\aste management
units at hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities requiring a permit under Subtitle C of
the RCRA. In June of 1990, EPA promulgated stan-
dards for process vents and equipment leaks; addi-
tional RCRA standards were promulgated on Decem-
ber 6, 1994, (effective; December 6, 1995) to limit air
emissions from tanks, surface impoundments, and
other containers used in managing hazardous wastes.
Implementation of air emission controls on many types
of waste management operations are now required by
these RCRA air rules. A major focus of this seminar
will be on the technical aspects of implementing the
control technologies required by the air rules for tanks,
surface impoundments, and containers at an affected
facility.
Presentations and case studies will be used to
examine the waste management sources of air
emissions, application of alternative control technolo-
gies and test methods, as well as the specific require-
ments of the RCRA regulations. Speakers will include
the developers of the regulations The sessions are
open to interested individuals and should be of interest
to regulatory agency personnel, waste management
facility owners/operators, consulting engineers, and
others concerned with air emissions from waste
management activities.
