Item Chromium Emissions from Chromium Electroplating and Chromic acid Anodizing Operations -- Background Information for Promulgated Standards(United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1994-11) United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air Quality Planning and StandardsOn December 16, 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for major and area sources performing hard chromium electroplating, decorative chromium electroplating, and chromium anodizing. A total of 62 comment letters were received from industry, trade associations, regulatory agencies, and environmental groups during the public comment period. As a result of these comments, additional information was gathered, evaluated, and incorporated into the EPA's responses to the comments. The comments and responses are summarized in this document. The comments and additional information gathered are contained in the project docket and serve as the basis for the revisions made to the standards between proposal and promulgation.Item Deposition of Air Pollutants to the Great Waters - Third Report to Congress(United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2000-06) United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Air Quality Planning and StandardsWith section 112(m) of the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA), Congress directed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to identify and assess the extent of atmospheric deposition of air pollutants to the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake Bay, Lake Champlain, and coastal waters, collectively known as the Great Waters. Further, section 112(m) directed EPA to report its findings to Congress in periodic reports. This is EPA's third Report to Congress on the deposition of air pollutants to the Great Waters. The first report was published in May 1994, and the second report was published in June 1997. The goals of the Third Great Waters Report to Congress are to discuss the current state of knowledge regarding atmospheric deposition of pollutants to the Great Waters based on new research and program activities undertaken since the Second Report to Congress and to describe any necessary revisions to requirements, standards, and limitations under the CAA or other Federal laws. This report is not intended to be a comprehensive summary of all relevant scientific research and activities. Instead, it summarizes and highlights major trends and key findings, and builds on conclusions presented in the First and Second Reports to Congress.
