Comment period is Sept 1, to Oct. 15, 2017 (See box back page for locations of the administrative record, which can be reviewed by the public.) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 is proposing to issue a hazardous waste management permit to INEOS USA LLC but will review public comments before making a final decision. The permit would set air emission standards for equipment leaks, tanks and containers at the INEOS site.1 U.S. EPA is acting on the hazardous waste permit application under its responsibilities set out in the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, known as RCRA. Background INEOS USA LLC owns and operates an industrial chemical manufacturing plant in Lima, Ohio. INEOS USA LLC manufactures acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, hydrogen cyanide, acrylonitrile catalyst, and a resin product at the plant. State permit In 2015, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued the state-portion of the RCRA permit. That portion contains rules for tank and container storage and treatment, corrective actions, post closure care, ground minoring, and other miscellaneous-unit management. The Ohio permit expires on July 1, 2025, and the federal permit would be set to expire at the same time. Tentative decision U.S. EPA proposes to issue a RCRA permit to INEOS. Currently, the state of Ohio is not authorized by U.S. EPA to issue a permit for requirements related to air emissions from hazardous waste units under 40 CFR Part 264, Subparts BB and CC. Therefore, U.S. EPA has drafted a RCRA permit to deal with air emissions from hazardous waste units at INEOS. After the close of the public comment period, U.S. EPA will review all comments received and decide whether to issue the permit. The final decision will include notification to those who submitted written comments during the official comment period. U.S. EPA will also prepare and send to all responders a document answering significant comments. Within 30 days of a final decision, any person who submitted written comments or made a statement at the hearing - if one is held - may petition U.S. EPA's Environmental Appeals Board to review the decision. This permit is a reissuance of the draft RCRA permit issued on Sept. 29, 2014, by U.S. EPA with amendment based on the comment submitted during public comment period. 1 EPA is proposing to issue the INEOS permit under the authority of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCR4) as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of1984 and subject to public notice and comment under the provisions of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 124.10.
