Review of Standards of Performance for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Plants and NESHAP for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Area Sources TR (Draft)
Feb. 23, 2022
This proposal presents the results of the EPA's review of the NSPS for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Plants and the TR for the NESHAP for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Area Sources as required under the CAA. The EPA is proposing revised Pb emission limits for grid casting, paste mixing, and lead reclamation operations for both the area source NESHAP (for new and existing sources) and under a new NSPS subpart (for lead acid battery facilities that begin construction, reconstruction, or modification after February 23, 2022). Comments must be received on or before 25 April 2022.
