Mr. J. Preston Campbell, P.E. Dear Mr. Campbell: This is in response to your June 9 letter to Roger Pfaff concerning exemption of dimethyl acetamide (DMAC) from regulation under Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review. EPA's policy on exclusion of organic compounds from regulations under PSD was forwarded to your agency in a July 31, 1981, letter from Thomas W. Devine. The letter can be found at Section 2.18 of the Region IV New Source Review PSD/Nonattainment Policy Reference Guide. The policy is that eleven organic compounds may be excluded. DMAC is not one of those compounds, and therefore can not be excluded from review. The North Carolina and California regulations referenced in your letter are not PSD regulations. Further, the North Carolina PSD regulation (15 NCAC .0530) contains a list of nine organic compounds not regulated under PSD, and DMAC is not one of those listed. I hope this letter fully responds to your requests. If you need further clarification, please contact Mr. Pfaff. Sincerely yours,
Bruce P. Miller |
