PREFACE
This user's manual was prepared for and funded by the New Source Review
RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC),1 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
RBLC has been established and is maintained by the Clean Air Technology Center (CATC) to assist
State and local air pollution control personnel in making control technology determinations and in
sharing technology information.
The RBLC provides data on prevention and control technology determinations made primarily
by State and local permitting agencies. The Clearinghouse contains over 4,000 determinations that can
help the user to identify appropriate technologies to mitigate or treat most air pollutant emission streams.
The RBLC was designed to help permit applicants and reviewers make pollution prevention and
control technology decisions for stationary air pollution sources and includes data submitted by 50
states and territories in the U.S. on over 200 different air pollutants and 1,000 industrial processes.
The Clearinghouse also has a rule data base that summarizes all emission standards issued by
EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS). This includes New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP), and Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards. The rule data base
also includes prevention and control technology cost information related to each rule and references to
supporting documentation.
Read the section, Quick Start Instructions for the RBLC Data Base, in this document to
begin using the RBLC Web.
1 NOTE: RACT, BACT and LAER are acronyms for different Clean Air Act program requirements
combined to create the name "RACT/BACT/ LAER Clearinghouse." RACT, or Reasonably Available
Control Technology, is required on existing sources in areas that are not meeting national ambient air
quality standards (i.e., non-attainment areas). BACT, or Best Available Control Technology, is
required on major new or modified sources in "clean" areas (i.e., attainment areas). LAER, or Lowest
Achievable Emission Rate, is required on major new or modified sources in non-attainment areas.
However, data in the Clearinghouse is not limited just to sources subject to these requirements.
Noteworthy prevention and control technology decisions are included in the RBLC even if they are not
related to RACT, BACT, or LAER decisions.

SECTION 4:
DATA ENTRY OVERVIEW
4.1 Access
Online editing of the RBLC permit database is available to authorized users from State and
local agencies across the United States. Contact the RBLC Webmaster to request authorization to add
and update information.2 Authorized users can add and edit determinations and contact information for
their agency and state.
New determinations are entered first into the Transient/Early Notification data base and move
through the following stages: In Process, Ready for Quality Assurance (QA), then QA Complete. EPA
promotes determinations to the current RBLC data base. Authorized users can edit completed
determinations by copying the determination into the Transient/Early Notification data base. The
determination will take the same route through QA and EPA review before promotion into the current
data base. Please note that the original (promoted) determination will remain available until the revised
determination is promoted. The revised determination will then replace the original entry. Once the
revised determination has been promoted, the old version of the same determination will no longer be
available.
4.2 On-Line Help Options
Like other portions of the RBLC Web, the on-line HELP reference is available for data fields
throughout the system (see Section 1.2.2 in Volume I of this User's Manual for more information). The
entire HELP system, with a table of contents, is available by clicking the RBLC Help link at the bottom
of each data entry page. Future additions to the system will include an on-line context sensitive HELP
function for data entry fields throughout the system. When installed, this function will allow the user to
click on the Help icon nearest to the data entry field in question to access a HELP file for that field.
4.3 Navigating Data Entry
Within the data entry portion of the RBLC Web site, users can choose from the following
options:
Add New Determination: create a new data base entry to the transient data base.
Edit In-Process Determination: edit an existing transient database entry.
2 The RBLC Webmaster is Joe Steigerwald, email: Steigerwald.Joe@epamail.epa.gov: Telephone:
(919) 541-2736. See also Volume I, Section 1.1.4 of this User's Manual.
4-1
-------
Edit Completed Determination: move a determination from the current data base to the
transient data base for editing (using the Edit In-Process Determination option).
Add/Edit Contact Information: add or edit agency contact information.
Exit Data Entry: log out from the data entry system.
Please note: each data entry screen must be saved using either the save and exit, save and
continue, or update buttons. Using the web browser buttons to move forward or back will not
save the data that has been entered.
The RBLC data entry page includes a logout button (Exit Data Entry). For security reasons,
users should log out after every data entry session. The system will prompt the user to log in again if a
session is inactive for longer than 20 minutes. Clicking the OK button at the prompt will allow the user
to log in and continue with the session. Data entered previously can then be saved. Clicking the
Cancel button at the prompt, however, will return the user to the initial data entry log in screen. Data
entered previously will not be saved. Although previously accessed data entry screens can be viewed
after logging off by using the web browser Back button, the system will not save data entered without
an authorized log in.
Adding and editing determinations is done using on-line forms. Buttons at the top and bottom
of each form allow the user to navigate, save, and update data. Many of the data fields use drop-down
lists that facilitate entry of correctly formatted entries.
4.4 Planning and Preparation
Agencies may wish to define procedures and quality standards for entry of determination data
to the RBLC, as incomplete or incorrect data can result in repeated calls to the agency for more
information, misunderstandings about the data with industries or the public, and other inefficient uses of
staff time and effort. In some cases, appointing one person to coordinate a large data entry effort and
to be the EPA contact point may be a logical approach. In other cases, defining specific procedures
and tracking the progress of entries may be more than adequate. In all cases, quality assurance and
quality control (QA/QC) standards should be maintained. See Section 4.5 for a suggested QA/QC
checklist.
Data entry and edits can be done most efficiently when the RBLC web data requirements and
data fields are understood and permit information has been organized before beginning entry. It is
recommended that permit information be organized before entry, so that all of the required information
(e.g., codes, units, and abbreviations) will be on hand during data entry.
Refer to Section 4.5 of this document for:
Descriptions of data fields;
4-2
-------
Required data fields, units, and formats; and
Data organization tips.
Keep in mind that permit information needs to be entered in such a way that the data base
search routines will be able to find it when it is relevant. Take the time to accurately match RBLC
process type codes and Source Classification Codes (SCCs) to the processes, and to describe control
devices or pollution prevention technology. The RBLC Documents page, accessed from the RBLC
Web Main page, contains text and data base files containing the Source Industrial Classification (SIC)
Codes and the SCCs needed to accurately categorize facilities and processes.3 Identify processes
and pollutants for which standard emission limits are required (see Appendix E for a list).
At a more general level, identify the information needed to enter a complete determination. A
determination must have information at the facility, process, and pollutant levels. Identify all likely
pollutants for a process and be prepared to address them all, either as pollutant entries or explanatory
notes in the process entry. Identify situations where a single process or piece of equipment may need
to be entered as multiple process entries or several processes may need to be combined (see the
examples below). When questions arise about how to enter non-standard situations, please contact the
RBLC Webmaster.
Example - One process, many emission limits
Problem: Separate emission limits for NOx emissions have been set for multiple operation
scenarios for turbines at a power plant. There are six operation scenarios based on three different
fuel options and whether the turbines operate as simple or combined cycle. Emission limits for other
pollutants are the same regardless of the scenario.
Solution: Enter the scenarios as six separate processes (process type codes and SCCs change for
each scenario), and enter the NOx emissions limits for each. Create a seventh process for the
generic process (mixed fuels, and simple or combined cycles undefined), and enter the remaining
pollutant limits under the seventh process. Document and explain this approach in the facility and
process notes.
3 The U.S Census Bureau maintains a Web site which cross references SIC codes with the North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS) of industrial codes:
http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html The EPA's Emission Factor and Inventory Group
maintains the list of SCCs and any updates of those codes can be found at:
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/codes/index.html.
4-3
-------
Example - Many identical processes , one set of emission limits
Problem: Eight identical natural gas fueled turbines, vented through a single stack, are permitted
together with identical emission limits. Emission limits are expressed in units of pounds per hour for
each turbine, and parts per million exiting from the stack. How should the turbines' emission limits
be entered in the RBLC?
Solution: Enter all eight turbines as a single process. Specify in the process notes the number of
turbines and whether the throughput is the combined throughput or throughput for each turbine.
Enter the emission limits, remembering to enter the parts per million emission limit in the standard
emission limit fields. Specify in the notes field that the pounds per hour emission limit is for each
4.5 Data Fields and Formats
For a determination to be considered complete and eligible for promotion to the permanent
RBLC data base, certain data fields must be entered, and required data formats must be observed.
Data for most of the searchable fields must be entered before a screen can be saved. In the on-line
data entry forms, the required fields are marked with a diamond (~).
Use Table 4.1 to identify required and recommended data fields. These requirements help
insure that searches will be productive and that the data base contains information that is helpful to most
users. Data elements marked as recommended fields are those that may be required under future NSR
regulations. Collecting and entering these data will improve the quality and usefulness of the data base.
Refer to Appendix A and the on-line documentation for instructions for entries to each data
field. As discussed previously, planning and organizing the data beforehand will make the data entry
process more efficient. Figure 4-1 is a suggested QA/QC checklist for entries.
After a determination has been entered into the system, EPA will review the entry, follow up
with the agency if necessary, and then promote the completed entry to the permanent RBLC data base.

QA/QC Checklist for Data Entry and Editing
For the Entire Determination
Keep in mind the general goals of a QA review: insuring entry completeness,
accuracy in data entry, coding, naming, and reasonableness.
Throughout the determination entry, check for typographical errors and misspellings,
even in the notes fields. Make sure that the notes are concise, well worded, and
informative.
Check for accuracy in data entry.
Check all required and recommended data fields. Use Table 4.1 and Appendix A
to identify those fields.
Facility Level Input Form
1) Are name, address and location data reasonable and correct? Include any entries for UTM
coordinates in the checks. UTM coordinates are defined as zone, easting and northing (x and y
coordinates, respectively). The conterminous 48 States are covered by 10 zones, from Zone 10 on
the west coast through Zone 19 in New England. Alaska is covered by zones 10 through 2, and
Hawaii by zones 4 and 5.
2) Check SIC codes. If you were looking for information about this type of facility, would you
search using the code that has been assigned?
3) Is the permit issued date an actual or estimated date? It will need to be actual for the
determination to be promoted. Is the permit issued date after the application received date? Actual
start up and compliance dates are especially helpful to users of the data base because those dates
indicate that the project is actually operating. These should be entered if they are available.
Process Level Input Form
4) Are all of the processes covered by the determination included? Are the processes defined so
that pollutants, controls and limits can be entered in an understandable way for each one?
5) Check the process name. Does it use the standard naming approach for processes described in
the data entry instructions in Appendix A, RBLC Data Submittal Form and Instructions (e.g.,
turbine, single cycle, natural gas)?
Figure 4-1: QA/QC Checklist
4-10
-------
6) Check the SCC designations. If you were looking for this process, would you search using the
code that you assigned?
7) Check the units for throughput. Use Appendix D to check units abbreviations.
8) If throughput is not in terms of fuel, is information provided about the throughput material in the
notes?
9) Has compliance information been entered? If compliance has been verified using "other"
methods, have these methods been specified under "describe other"9
Pollutant Level Input Form
10) Are all of the pollutants included for each process? In many cases, the permit addresses only
one or a few of the pollutants that can be expected to be emitted from a process. If there are
pollutants that are not included in the determination for a process, include an explanation in the
process notes.
11) Is the Control Method Code properly assigned? Remember that a device added to a process
that reduces emissions during the process (e.g., low-NOx burners) should be defined as pollution
prevention, not as an add-on. Pollution prevention encompasses recycling, materials changes and
reformulation, and pollution reduction technology that is integral to the process.
12) If the control method code is add on, pollution prevention or both (add on and pollution
prevention), there must be a description of the control method in the text field.
13) Check the descriptors for add on control devices and pollution prevention methods. Use the
names and abbreviations in Appendix D, RBLC Process, Unit, and Pollutant Abbreviations to
insure that consistent terms are used throughout the data base.
14) Have emission limits been entered? Limits can be entered as either emissions or as a control's
percent efficiency. If the only limit is the percent efficiency, the efficiency should be entered in the
primary emission limit field and in the percent efficiency field.
15) Are pollutant emission limits, and percent efficiency levels reasonable?
Figure 4.1: QA/QC Checklist, continued.
4-11
-------
16) Check units for primary and alternate emission limits. Use Appendix D to check abbreviations
for emission units.
17) Emission limits for visible emissions (VE) should be expressed as percent opacity (% opacity).
VE emission limits for all processes should be entered in the standard emission limit field.
18) Check the processes in the determination against the list of processes included in Appendix E,
RBLC Standard Emission Units by Process Type Code. If a process matches any of those on
that list, there should be a standard emission limit entered for the pollutants listed for that process.

SECTION 5
RBLC WEB PERMIT DATA ENTRY AND EDITING PROCEDURES
Access and authorization to enter and edit data in the RBLC Web is discussed in Section 4.1 of
this volume. Navigation while using the data entry and editing options on the RBLC Web is described
in Section 4.3. The following sections describe the procedures available to enter and edit
determinations on the RBLC Web and to submit data on paper forms or as computer files. The section
titles for RBLC Web functions are same as the Data Entry Menu Web buttons that they describe.
When using the RBLC Web data entry and editing procedures, new determinations are entered
first into the Transient/Early Notification data base and move through the following stages: In Process,
Ready for Quality Assurance (QA), then QA Complete. Flags to mark the determination's status are
available on a pull-down list at the top of the facility edit page, and are discussed in more detail in
Section 5.2 of this volume. EPA promotes determinations to the current RBLC data base.
5.1 Add a New Determination
The Add a New Determination button on the Data Entry Menu is for creating a new
determination listing in the RBLC data base. When a user has multiple-state data entry privileges, the
first screen of this sequence will ask the user to identify the state where the determination is located. If
a user has single-state data entry privileges, the first screen will be the facility level entry form. The
system will assign a facility number (an internal tracking number) and an RBLC ID. See Section 2.2 of
this User's Manual for more information about RBLC IDs.
The Add a New Determination option will guide the user through each level of data that should
be entered (i.e., facility, process, and pollutant) using the Save and Continue button at the bottom of
each entry form. The data entry forms and navigation buttons available are:
Facility form
S Main Menu/Abort Changes - Prompts user to return and save data entered,
then will return to the main permit data entry and editing page. Using the Main
Menu button without saving the newly entered data will result in the data being
lost.
S Save & Exit - Saves the data in the form, exits from the Add option.
S Save & Continue - Saves the data in the form, continues to the Process form.
Process form
S Main Menu/Abort Changes - Prompts user to return and save data entered,
then will return to the main permit data entry and editing page. Using the Main
Menu button without saving the newly entered data will result in the data being
lost.

S Save & Add another - Saves the data in the form, and displays a blank
pollutant entry form to add a new pollutant.
S Save & Main Menu - Saves the data in the form, returns the user to the main
permit data entry and editing page.
S New Process - Does not save the data in the pollutant form, continues to a
new process form.
Some data fields will be marked with a diamond icon:
~
These fields are mandatory and must be filled out in order for the page to be saved. Please
note that additional fields are required for promotion of the determination, and are discussed in Section
4.5 of this volume.
Facility-wide emissions can be entered on this form. It is recommended that the form be saved
before entering this portion of the data.
The Edit In-Process Determination option (discussed in the section below) may provide more
flexibility when entering information for a new determination by allowing the user to move to any screen
in the determination entry. In that case, enter the new determination's facility data while using the Add
a New Determination module, then press the Save and Exit button. Then use the Edit In-Process
Determination option to enter process and pollutant data.
5.2 Edit In-Process Determination
The second button on the main RBLC Data Entry Page is labeled Edit In-Process
Determination. This allows edits to determinations in the transient data base. The entry forms for
facility, process, and pollutant level data are the same as those in the Add a New Determination option,
with three exceptions: a pull-down menu for the choice of entry status on the facility form, a button
allowing the user to mark determinations available to the public or not, and the wider range of choices
5-2
-------
for navigation buttons. A selection must be made from the entry status menu before changes to the
facility level data can be saved. Entry status menu selections are: In Process; Ready for QA; and QA
Complete. Agencies entering data should mark their incomplete and in progress entries as being In
Process. Once an agency has completed their own QA, and are ready to send the completed
determination entry to the EPA, the entry should be marked Ready for QA. The QA Complete flag is
used by EPA's contractors and EPA to designate determinations ready for promotion.
The data entry forms and navigation buttons available are:
Facility form
S Main Menu/Abort Changes - Prompts user to return and save data entered,
then will return to the main permit data entry and editing page. Using the Main
Menu button without saving the newly entered data will result in the data being

S Update/Save - Saves and updates the data in the form.
S Pollutant List - Displays the pollutant selection form.
S Process List - Displays the process selection form.
S Edit Facility - Returns the user to the facility page.
The Edit option allows for more flexibility in moving from screen to screen than when using the
Add New Determination option. New processes, and pollutant entries can be made using the Edit
option, but a new entry must be entered using the New Determination option.
5.3 Edit Completed Determination
There are cases when a determination needs to be re-edited after it has been through QA and
promotion to the RBLC current data base. The third option on the main RBLC Data Entry page allows
a user to select a determination from the current data base and transfer it to the transient data base for
editing. In this option, the determination is selected using the same type of pull-down menu that is used
in the Edit In-Process Determination option. Once a determination is selected, the facility level
information is displayed, and then the determination is transferred to the transient data base by pressing
the Edit button. The Edit In-Process Determination option is used to edit these determinations. The

Appendix A Data Submittal Form and Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING RACT/BACT/LAER CLEARINGHOUSE
INPUT FORM
1. Company Name/Site Location: Insert name and address of the proposed facility. The
address should be the location of the proposed facility not the address of the parent
company unless they are the same.
2. Plant/Facility Contact Information: The is a person knowledgeable about the process
at the plant or facility being permitted. Enter the name, telephone numbers (voice and
fax), e-mail address, and physical address of the plant contact. (A check box has been
provided if the plant's and the plant contact's physical address are the same.)
3. Permitting Agency Contact Information: Indicate the person at the permitting agency
to whom requests should be directed. This should be the person most capable of

permitting action. Please provide area code with the phone number, E-mail address, and
conventional mail address.
4. Physical Plant Location Information: List the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
coordinates and UTM Zone of the facility being permitted. (This information is usually
listed on United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps of the area where the facility is
physically located.) The UTM coordinates are reported as Easting (X) and Northing (y).
Easting indicate the horizontal or x coordinate within the UTM Zone for the source and
Northing indicate the vertical or y coordinate within the UTM Zone for the source. The
RBLC needs this information to determine proximity of the source to Class I areas (e.g.,
National Parks, Wilderness Areas, etc.). Please list the names of the Class One Areas
within 100km of the source and Class One areas located within 100 to 250km of the
source and their distance to the source.
5. Permit/File Number: This should be the identification number assigned by the agency
that issued the permit.
6. ID Numbers and Codes: Fill-in the requested AIRS identification number, if available,
and the SIC code.

distillate oil, process gas, etc. Again, a detailed narrative about the fuels used is
not necessary.
Pollution Abatement Strategy - List all major pollution prevention and control
systems/devices that will be used to reduce or eliminate air pollution; for example:
powder coatings, low sulfur fuel, electrostatic precipitator, carbon adsorption, etc.
10. Facility Notes: This section is for the completion or elaboration of any of the above
items where space was a problem. Also, any information that you feel other agencies
should know about this determination should appear here. Notes are typically used for the
following:
More than one permit number [See note under Permit Number.]
More detail on a particular process
More than one contact person
Further explanation regarding the designation of a source as new or modified
Further explanation of the emission limit or the support documentation associated
with setting the limit (i.e., limit based on design or stack test)
A-2
-------
11. Process Description: List all processes subject to this permit by name (e.g., kiln, boiler)
for which a throughput limit, operating limit, emission limit, control strategy, performance
or equipment standard has been specified. Use additional pages as necessary. Additional
information on a process may be placed in the Process Notes section.
Process name or process equipment should be listed using one of the process categories
listed in Appendix C (Detailed Listing of Proposed Process Categories). A descriptor may
be added behind the generic category name. For example,
Boiler, coal-fired, 3 each
Kiln, 3 each
Conveyors, coal/limestone
Furnace, arc
Boiler, recovery
Boiler, power
Engines, gas-fired
12. Process Type Code: A code assigned to each process (see Appendix B) used to
categorize determinations.
[We really need this so please use the drop-down list. Do not use the codes that end in
"000". The "000" code are category codes. Also, try and avoid using the codes that end
in "999" as they are catch-all categories. If you do not enter an RBLC Process code, we
will try to figure it out. If we cant, you will get a phone call.]
13. SCC Code: This code is the standard source classification for processes used throughout
the Office of Air at EPA.
[We really need this so please use the drop-down list. If this is not listed, we will try to
figure it out. If we cant, you will get a phone call.]
14. Throughput Capacity: Indicate the maximum design capacity of the unit. Use the same
units of measure used in the NSPS to describe the size of a source. Wherever possible,
use the list of standardized abbreviations for process and emission limit - Appendix D.
15. Compliance Verification: This series of fields allows you to enter a yes or no response
to the following questions:
- Compliance verified?
- Method of confirmation:
Stack testing?
Other testing?
A-3
-------
Inspection?
Calculations?
You may also enter a narrative description of other types of confirmation methods.
[If you leave this field blank, it defaults to "no" to indicate that compliance was not
verified.]
16. Process Notes: This field should contain any additional information on the process being
permitted.
17. Pollutant(s) Emitted: Make an entry for each pollutant or parameter for which a control
requirement or other restraint has been specified (PM, SO, C02, N02, opacity, or others).
Use a separate block for each entry, and identify the pollutant and provide its Chemical
Abstracts (CAS) number. Use the following standard abbreviations for these common
pollutants whenever possible:
PM
Particulate Matter
SOX
Sulfur Oxides
NOX
Nitrogen Oxides
CO
Carbon Monoxide
VOC
Volatile Organic Compounds
VE
Visible Emissions
TRS
Total Reduced Sulfur
F
Fluoride
Be
Beryllium
h2s
Hydrogen Sulfide
Hg
Mercury
VC
Vinyl Chloride
Abbreviations for other pollutants are listed in Appendix D, along with CAS numbers.
[Use the drop-down list. To quickly get to say "PM,"just type a "P." This will move you
down the list to the start of the P's. We are working on cleaning up this list, but at this
time many pollutants are listed more than once. The one to choose is the one that lists the
pollutant name and its CAS number. For those pollutants that cover a range of pollutants
(PM, PM10, NOx, SOx, VOC, opacity etc) the RBLC uses a custom CAS number. For
example, these are the right drop-down entries in the Pollutant Name list to choose for the
examples listed above: PM - "PM,PM"; PM10 - 'PM10, PM"; NOx - "NOx, 10102";
SOx - "SOx, 7446"; VOC - "VOC, VOC"; opacity - "VE,VE".
Do not choose a pollutant that is not in the "name, CAS#" format because it will have to
A-4
-------
be changed. If you cannot find the pollutant you need to list in the drop-down, please
send me an e-mail at and I will add it (along with its CAS
number) to the list.]
18. Emission Limit(s): For consistency and ease of comparison, list the emission limit or rate
in the units of measure listed in Appendix C or those used in AP-42. Wherever possible
use the list of standard abbreviations (Appendix D).
There are multiple emission limits in the Clearinghouse, they are:
Primary emission limit and units: The primary emission limit listed in the permit.
Alternate emission limit and units: If provided on the permit, these numbers
represent any alternate emission measurements which the facility may make.
Standardized limit and units: This limit allows comparison with other similar
determinations in the RBLC. Standard units are provided for certain process types
(see Appendix D) so that users can compare the entries in this field to determine
the most stringent limits.
The base-line limit is no longer used in the RBLC data base.
19. Emission Type: A one-character field indicating whether the emission is fugitive, point-
source, or area-source.
20. Pollution Reduction Ranking Information: Two pieces of information are requested:
The number of options examined and the rank of the option selected. The "rank" is the
number of the option selected when the options are ordered according to the performance
of the system. Number 1 would be the best controlled system, number 2 would be the
next best, etc.
21. Regulatory Requirements Associated with Limit (Basis of Limit): Indicate the
regulatory requirement that precipitated establishing the limit presented, i.e., BACT-PSD,
BACT-Other, LAER, MACT, RACT, GACT, NSPS, NESHAP, or Other. Do not list
such items as stack test, design or others. These items generally represent the supporting
information that may have been used to document or establish the given limit. Such items
should be included in the notes section.
To facilitate the identification of limits use the following abbreviations:
- BACT-PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration)
- BACT-Other (regulated by State/local rules, not PSD)
- LAER (lowest Available Control Technology)
A-5
-------
- MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology)
- RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology)
- GACT (Generally Available Control Technology)
- NSPS (New source Performance Standards)
- NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)
- Other
22. Pollution Reduction Method Description: Describe the specific pollution prevention
techniques and add-on equipment used to achieve the permitted emission limits. Specify
"NONE" if no controls are feasible. Pollution prevention techniques include operational
modifications, limits in the type and amount of raw materials used, limits on throughput or
hours of operation, maintenance requirements, equipment specifications, or other
limitations. Typical add-on equipment includes ESP, fabric filter, etc. Information in this
section may be supplemented under the "Notes" section.
Please note that the RBLC no longer has separate fields for equipment manufacturer and
model number. Place this information, if you have it, in the notes.
[Please note that if you specify "NONE" for this field and then enter something in the
Description field, you will get a phone call asking you if you really meant to put "NONE."
23. Overall Efficiency %: Enter the overall system pollution reduction efficiency, consisting
of capture (hoods, ductwork, etc.) and collection (control device) efficiency. Any
breakdown of efficiencies for capture or collection individually should be shown under
"Notes." For P2, indicate the overall effectiveness of the P2 methods.
24. Cost Data: Pollution reduction costs include:
- Year of the dollar used in cost calculations
- Cost verified by the permitting agency (yes or no)
- Cost effectiveness in dollars per ton (annualized cost/tons of pollutant removed)
- Capital cost of control equipment
- Annual operation and maintenance cost for all control methods
- Annualized cost (amortized capital cost + annual operation & maintenance costs)

15. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
16. ABSTRACT
The Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 prescribes several techno1ogy-based
limitations affecting new or modified air pollution sources: 1) new source perfor-
mance standards (NSPS), 2) best available control technology (BACT), and 3) lowest
achievable emission rate (LAER) .
The basic purposes of the RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse are 1) to provide State and
local air pollution control agencies with current information on case-by-case control tech-
nology determinations that are made nationwide and 2) promote communication, cooperation,
and sharing of control technology information among the permitting agencies. This document
details how the RBLC site on the World Wide Web is organized and operates. It includes
information on how to do a data base query, generate a custom report, and enter/edit infor-
mation into the RBLC (if authorized) .
The RBLC has now moved to the Web. The RBLC Web address is:
h 11 p://www.epa.gov/11 n/c a t c /
Clicking on the RBLC logo on this page allows access to all of the information in the RBLC
including interactive queries, customized reports, and downloadable copies of this and other
RBLC documents.
Volume 2 includes information for authorized persons in State and local air
permitting agencies who are inputting information directly into the RBLC.
