Environmental Protective Agency EPA Regulations

The vendor claims that asphalt emulsion stabilization can treat soils with up to 60,000 parts per million (ppm) total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). In New York and New Jersey, permitting of the asphalt emulsion process is not allowed for sites where TPH levels are above 30,000 ppm. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations allow for the technology to be applied to soils with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations of 10 ppm for controlled-access sites and 25 ppm for uncontrolled-access sites. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates disinfectants and sterilants and the FDA regulates antiseptics. 

Given the age distribution of existing coal fired utilities and the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, FGD will become more important in the future. The choice among systems will depend upon the availability, characteristics and cost of the various coals as well as the relative costs of the candidate FGD processes. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the amount of radium in drinking water so that it will not contain more than 5 pCi of combined radium-226 and radium-228 per liter of water. The amount of radioactivity from all sources that is allowed in drinking water and the amount that workers may be exposed to in nuclear plants is regulated. 

In several instances, biomonitoring data have confirmed health effects of environmental exposures and have validated public-health policies. For example, population data on blood lead concentrations that were associated with adverse health effects provided the impetus for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations reducing lead in gasoline. Methylmercury concentrations in blood and hair that were correlated with neurodevelopmental effects provided the rationale for EPA s revision of the oral reference dose. In those examples, the biomonitored concentrations of chemicals could be shown to be related to adverse health effects because of the body of epidemiologic, toxicologic, and clinical... 

The 1993 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation contains standards for 84 chemicals and minerals in drinking water. According to the EPA one of the most prevalent of the listed contaminants is naturally occuring antimony. The maximum contaminant level for antimony and nickel has been set at 0.006 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L respectively. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the import and export of chemical substances from the United States under the TSCA. TSCA was first enacted in 1976 and has been amended significantly three times. TSCA gives the EPA broad authority to regulate the manufacture, use, distribution in commerce, and disposal of chemical substances. TSCA is a federally managed law and is not delegated to states. 

An electrostatic precipitator is to be used to treat 100,000 acfm of a gas stream containing particulates from a hazardous waste incinerator. The proposed precipitator consists of three bus sections (fields) arranged in series, each with the same collection surface. The inlet loading has been measured as 40 gr/fl and a maximum outlet loading of 0.18 gr/ft is allowed by local Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. The drift velocity for the particulates has been experimentally determined in a similar incinerator installation with the following results ... 

This appendix shows how the major elements of process safety management are reflected in API s RP 750, OSHA PSM Rule, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. The common points of each of the three documents are listed. 

Under the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act and subsequent amendments, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates DBPs in drinking water. A research effort has been established to facilitate decisions on drinking water safety by identifying and reducing amounts of DBPs found to be hazardous Currently, all public water... 

State and local codes and requirements are NOT included. This chapter specifically consolidates requirements found in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Compressed Gas Association (CGA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and certain Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and Department of Energy (DOE) Rules and Orders, including technical standards that are made mandatory by their specific reference within a regulation, rule or DOE Order. 

Under the authority of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the activities of many people and companies when they handle chemicals in certain ways. Under the most frequently invoked sections of TSCA, the EPA can require ... 

In addition, all researchers should be familiar with the principal provisions and concepts of the most important laws and regulations that affect laboratories across the country. The two most important are the Occupational Safety and Health Administration s regulation. Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories (the OSHA Laboratory Standard) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), under which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates hazardous waste. Because of its importance, the text of the OSHA Laboratory Standard is reprinted in Appendix A. Researchers, laboratory workers, and, in particular, laboratory managers and supervisors should read and understand these regulations. 

There are some environmental and technological problems which need to be solved for the increasing use of coal as an energy source. The major problem facing coal burning power facilities is the production of noxious sulfur oxides (SOx s). Current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations restrict SO2 emissions for a new facility to 1.2 lbs per million BTU equivalent of coal combusted (1). 

Regulations that are produced under U.S. law. The CFRs are segregated into subject areas, e.g., Title 29 contains Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Title 40 contains Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Title 49 Department of Transport (DOT) contains regulations, etc.
