Federal Rulemaking for the FMC Facility in the Fort Hall PM-10 Nonattainment Area

Environmental Protection Agency

Abstract

On February 12, 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or we) published a proposed Federal Implementation Plan (February 1999 FIP proposal) to control particulate emissions from an elemental phosphorus facility owned by FMC Corporation (FMC) in southeastern Idaho (FMC facility). The FMC facility is located on the Fort Hall Indian Reservation and in the Fort Hall PM-10 nonattainment area. The purpose of the February 1999 FIP proposal was to propose a control strategy for particulate matter emissions from the FMC facility consisting of emission limits and work practice requirements that constitute reasonably available control technology (RACT) which would, in light of this area's longstanding nonattainment problem, ensure expeditious progress towards improving air quality and attaining the particulate matter standards in order to protect the public health. EPA believes that comments and additional technical information received during the public comment period require reconsideration of several of the emission limitations and work practice requirements in the February 1999 FIP proposal. EPA is therefore issuing this supplemental proposal to revise certain limited aspects of the February 1999 FIP proposal.
