National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks

Résumé

On April 14, 2003, pursuant to section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA issued national emission standards to control hazardous air pollutants emitted from pushing, quenching, and battery stacks at new and existing coke oven batteries. This proposed action would amend the parametric operating limits and associated compliance provisions for capture systems used to control emissions from pushing. This action also would amend the requirements for mobile scrubber cars that capture emissions which occur during pushing and travel. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are issuing the amendments as a direct final rule. We are making the amendments as a direct final rule without prior proposal because we view the amendments as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments.
