The EPA also set GACT standards for the lead acid battery manufacturing source category on July 16, 2007. These standards are codified in 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, and are applicable to existing and new affected facilities.
The Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing area source category was listed for regulation pursuant to section 112 (c) (3) for its contribution of the urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) lead and cadmium.
Lead acid batteries were first established as a performance standard on January 14, 1980. New source performance standards were first proposed in 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK for the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing source category on this date ( 45 FR 2790 ). The EPA proposed lead emission limits based on fabric filters with 99 percent efficiency for grid casting and lead reclamation operations.
1. NSPS The EPA has found through the BSER review for this source category that there are 40 existing lead acid battery manufacturing facilities subject to the NSPS for Lead-Acid Battery Manufacturing Plants at 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK.
Many organizations have established standards that address lead-acid battery safety, performance, testing, and maintenance. Standards are norms or requirements that establish a basis for the common understanding and judgment of materials, products, and processes.
Ten lead acid battery manufacturing facilities have ambient air monitors for Pb at or near the facility. The list of facilities and details on the data analysis can be found in the memorandum 'Emissions and Ambient Monitoring Data Used for the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Rule Reviews'.
