CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999
Notice Requiring the Preparation and Implementation of Pollution Prevention Plans in Respect of Acrylonitrile
Whereas Acrylonitrile is a substance specified on the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999;
Whereas the Minister of the Environment published a Proposed Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans in respect of Acrylonitrile in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on May 25, 2002;
Whereas persons were given the opportunity to file comments with respect to the Proposed Notice during a 60-day comment period;
And whereas this Notice is issued as an instrument respecting preventive or control actions in relation to Acrylonitrile in application of section 91 of the Act:
Notice is hereby given that, under subsection 56(1) of the Act, the Minister of the Environment requires the persons or class of persons described in paragraph 1 of this Notice to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in respect of Acrylonitrile.
DAVID ANDERSON
Minister of the Environment
1. Person or class of persons required to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan
This Notice applies to any person or class of persons who, on the date of publication of this notice, owns or operates a facility involving the manufacture of synthetic rubber, where such manufacture uses acrylonitrile and results in releases of acrylonitrile to the environment.
2. Activities in relation to which the plan is to be prepared
The Minister requires all persons identified in paragraph 1 to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in relation to their manufacturing, storage, handling and wastewater treatment activities involving acrylonitrile.
3. Factors to be considered in preparing the plan
The Minister requires all persons identified in paragraph 1 to consider the following factors when preparing their pollution prevention plan:
(1) The Minister of the Environment's risk management objective is to reduce the releases of acrylonitrile from synthetic rubber manufacturing sources to the lowest achievable levels by the application of best available techniques economically achievable by December 31, 2005.
(2) Acrylonitrile was declared toxic under subsection 64(c) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) and added to the List of Toxic Substances in Schedule 1 of the Act. It is considered that acrylonitrile is entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health. Acrylonitrile is considered toxic to human health because of its carcinogenic potential. Acrylonitrile is categorized as a Track 2 substance under Environment Canada's Toxic Substances Management Policy and thus requires management throughout its life cycle to prevent or minimize its release into the environment.
(3) In preparing a pollution prevention plan, priority is to be given to pollution prevention activities, that is, the use of processes, practices, materials, products, substances or energy that avoid or minimize the creation of pollutants and waste and reduce the overall risk to the environment or human health (definition of pollution prevention as found in CEPA 1999).
(4) In order to achieve the risk management objective described in paragraph 3(1), best available techniques and technologies to prevent and/or control releases of acrylonitrile to the air from point/stack, fugitive, storage and wastewater sources shall be considered. Such consideration shall include, but is not limited to:
(a) adopting standards and operating practices as outlined in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), specifically standards 40 CFR Part 63 Subparts F, G, H and U.
(b) adopting standards and operating practices for control of air emissions from wastewater collection and treatment systems, as they appear in the US EPA Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry Wastewater (40 CFR Part 60).
(c) adopting standards and operating practices as outlined in the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Environmental Code of Practice for the Measurement and Control of Fugitive Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Emissions from Equipment Leaks (CCME-EPC-73E) and as outlined in section 4 of the CCME Environmental Guideline for the Control of Volatile Organic Compounds Process Emissions from New Organic Chemical Operations (CCME-EPC-72E).
(d) establishing and implementing a leak detection and repair (LDAR) program which includes use of US EPA Method 21 for field measurement of component emissions, current industry-specific emission factors, a leak definition of 500 p.p.m., and component testing frequency equivalent to the CCME Environmental Code of Practice for the Measurement and Control of Fugitive VOC Emissions from Equipment Leaks (CCME-EPC-73E) or the NESHAP LDAR programs.
(e) meeting the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MOEE) interim and proposed point of impingement (1/2 hour) air standards for acrylonitrile as presented in Ontario Air Quality Standards for Acrylonitrile (EBR Registry Number: PA00E0004, Date Proposal Loaded: 2000/02/21) and the MOEE Summary of Point of Impingement Standards, Point of Impingement Guidelines and Ambient Air Quality Criteria (AAQC's) dated September 2001.
(f) using air dispersion models as proposed in the MOEE Discussion Paper Updating Ontario's Air Dispersion Models, March 2001 (EBR Registry Number: PA01E0003; Date Proposal Loaded: 2001/03/20) and developing an air emission summary as outlined in the MOEE Procedure for Preparing an Emission Summary and Dispersion Modeling Report, guidance document for demonstrating compliance with section 5 of Ontario MOEE Reg. 346, dated June 1998.
(g) using the risk management framework as presented in MOEE Discussion Paper Proposed Risk Management Framework for the Air Standard Setting Process in Ontario including Appendix A, March 2001 (EBR Registry Number: PA01E0002, Date Proposal Loaded: 2001/03/20).
(5) In order to verify estimated and/or calculated emissions of acrylonitrile, persons identified in paragraph 1 shall consider conducting sampling and testing of on-site air releases.
(6) In order to ensure that the human health risks of acrylonitrile due to exposure are adequately addressed, persons identified in paragraph 1 shall consider:
(a) collecting and analyzing on-site personal exposure data; and
(b) conducting air sampling and testing for acrylonitrile in ambient air at or beyond facility site boundaries at locations that ensure measurement of maximum exposure at ground level.
4. Period within which the plan is to be prepared
The Minister requires that the plan be prepared and begin to be implemented within 12 months of the publication date of this notice.
5. Period within which the plan is to be implemented
The Minister requires that the plan be implemented by May 31, 2007.
6. Content of plans
Persons preparing the plan are to determine the appropriate content of their own plan; however, the plan must meet all the requirements of this notice. It must also contain the information to file the Declaration of Preparation referred to in paragraph 8 and have the capacity to generate the information required to file the Declaration of Implementation referred to in paragraph 9 and Interim Progress Reports referred to in paragraph 11.
7. Requirement to keep plan
Under section 59 of CEPA 1999, all persons identified in paragraph 1 shall keep a copy of the plan at the place in Canada in relation to which the plan is prepared.
8. Declaration of Preparation
