EPA Proposes Amendments to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to update the national emission standards for electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking facilities that are considered area sources of hazardous air pollutants, aiming to clarify the applicability of the opacity limit, ensure consistent particulate matter testing, and revise the definition of 'scrap provider' to include facilities that own and operate a scrap shredder.
