STANDARDS SUPPORT AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT. VOLUME 1: PROPOSED STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR GRAIN ELEVATOR INDUSTRY

Standards of performance to control particulate matter emissions from new and modified grain elevators in the U.S. are being proposed under section 111 of the Clean Air Act. The proposed standards limit emissions of particulate matter from the following affected facilities and their air pollution control devices: truck loading and unloading stations, railroad hopper car and boxcar loading and unloading stations, equipment at barge and ship unloading stations, barge and ship loading stations, all grain handling operations, and grain dryers. This document contains information on the grain elevator industry and emission control technology, a discussion of the selected emission limitations and the supporting data, and the alternatives which were considered, and analyses of the environmental and economic impacts of the proposed standards.
