eCFR Subpart JJJ  [ecfr.gov]
This subpart applies to:
- Affected sources at Major Sources of HAPs* that produce any of the following:
- Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) latex or resin;
- Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA/AMSAN) resin;
- Expandable polystyrene resin;
- Methyl methacrylate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (MABS) resin;
- Methyl methacrylate butadiene styrene (MBS) resin;
- Nitrile resin;
- Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) resin;
- Polystyrene resin;
- Styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) resin.
Affected sources:
- Groups of one or more thermoplastic product process units (TPPU) and associated equipment;
- Waste management units;
- Maintenance wastewater;
- Heat exchange systems;
- Process contact cooling towers used in the manufacture of PET at new sources;
- Process contact cooling towers used in the manufacture of PET using continuous terephthalic acid high viscovity multiple end finisher processes at existing sources;
- 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:
- TPPUs and associated equipment at Area Sources of HAPs*;
- Components and equipment that do not contain organic HAP;
- Stormwater from segregated sewers;
- Water from fire-fighting and deluge systems in segregated towers;
- Spills;
- Water from safety showers;
- Water from testing of deluge systems;
- Water from testing of firefighting systems;
- Vessels and equipment storing and/or handling material that contains no organic HAP and/or organic HAP as impurities only;
- Equipment that is intended to operate in organic HAP service for less than 300 hours during the calendar year.
- Research and development faciltiies;
- Polymerization processes occurring in a mold;
- Processes which manufacture binder systems containing a thermoplastic product for paints, coatings, or adhesives;
- Finishing processes including equipment such as compounding units, spinning units, drawing units, extruding units, and other finishing steps;
- Solid state polymerization processes.
Partial Exemptions:
- 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.
