Applicability

e-CFR Subpart AAAAAAA [ecfr.gov]

Subpart AAAAAAA applies to new and existing asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturers that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). An asphalt roofing operation is engaged in the preparation of asphalt flux at stand-alone asphalt processing facilities, petroleum refineries, and asphalt roofing facilities. An asphalt processing facility includes one or more asphalt blowing stills. An asphalt roofing manufacturing operation is the collection of equipment used to manufacture asphalt roofing products through a series of process steps. The asphalt processing, coating, and saturation operations are covered under the rule.

HAP of concern is polycyclic organic matter in the form of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

Not subject to this rule: Hot mix asphalt plants used in paving roads or hardstands and operations where asphalt is used in fabrication of a built-up roof.

*An area source of HAP has the potential to emit <10 tons per year (tpy) of a single HAP or <25 tpy of a combination of HAPs.
