Polymers & Resins IV

eCFR Subpart JJJ [ecfr.gov]

This subpart applies to:

1. Affected sources at Major Sources of HAPs* that produce any of the following:
   1. Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) latex or resin;
   2. Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA/AMSAN) resin;
   3. Expandable polystyrene resin;
   4. Methyl methacrylate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (MABS) resin;
   5. Methyl methacrylate butadiene styrene (MBS) resin;
   6. Nitrile resin;
   7. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) resin;
   8. Polystyrene resin;
   9. Styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) resin.

Affected sources:

1. Groups of one or more thermoplastic product process units (TPPU) and associated equipment;
2. Waste management units;
3. Maintenance wastewater;
4. Heat exchange systems;
5. Process contact cooling towers used in the manufacture of PET at new sources;
6. Process contact cooling towers used in the manufacture of PET using continuous terephthalic acid high viscovity multiple end finisher processes at existing sources;
7. Components required by or utilized as a method of compliance with this subpart, including control devices and recovery devices.

*Major Sources of HAPs emit or have the potential to emit:

• ≥ 10 tons/year of any single HAP; or
• ≥ 25 tons/year of total HAPs.
• Area Sources emit less than Major Sources.

Not subject to this subpart:

1. TPPUs and associated equipment at Area Sources of HAPs*;
2. Components and equipment that do not contain organic HAP;
3. Stormwater from segregated sewers;
4. Water from fire-fighting and deluge systems in segregated towers;
5. Spills;
6. Water from safety showers;
7. Water from testing of deluge systems;
8. Water from testing of firefighting systems;
9. Vessels and equipment storing and/or handling material that contains no organic HAP and/or organic HAP as impurities only;
10. Equipment that is intended to operate in organic HAP service for less than 300 hours during the calendar year.
11. Research and development faciltiies;
12. Polymerization processes occurring in a mold;
13. Processes which manufacture binder systems containing a thermoplastic product for paints, coatings, or adhesives;
14. Finishing processes including equipment such as compounding units, spinning units, drawing units, extruding units, and other finishing steps;
15. Solid state polymerization processes.

Partial Exemptions:

1. Owners or operators of TPPUs at Major Sources of HAPs* that do not use or manufacture and organic HAP need only keep records and demonstrate that they do not use or manufacture any organic HAP; they are not subject to any other provisions of this subpart.
