The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR Part
60, Subpart UUU) were proposed on April 23, 1986; promulgated on
September 28, 1992; and amended on July 29, 1993. These standards
apply only to new calciners and dryers at mineral processing plants
that either process or produce either any of the following minerals
and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority is any
of the following minerals or a combination of these minerals:
Alumina, ball clay, bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire clay,
fullers earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight
aggregate, magnesium compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc,
titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. New facilities include those
that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after
the date of proposal. Owners and operators of affected facilities
are required to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting
requirements (General Provisions at 40 CFR 60, Subpart A), as well
as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UUU.
This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports. They are also required to maintain records of
the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period
during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These
notifications, reports, and records are used by EPA to determine
compliance with these standards.
