Summary

U.S. EPA alleges that Celanese violated the Illinois SIP and its Title V permit. U.S. EPA issued a Notice of Violation/Finding of Violation (NOV/FOV) on October 12, 2005. Celanese met with U.S. EPA on December 15, 2005, to discuss resolution of the NOV/FOV. Celanese will install interim reactor catch tanks for all open operating reactors, implement appropriate measures to reduce emissions of VOM from the vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) unloading areas, including pressurizing the rail cars when unloading the VAM and returning any displaced vapors via rail car to the vendor that distributed the VAM, where the vapors will be incinerated by a Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer, accelerate the implementation of the leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart FFFF, Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing (MON) NESHAP, close the open vent to the atmosphere of the EVA monomer slow add tank at the Meredosia facility to eliminate emissions from the tank, and decommission 3 reactors at the Meredosia facility
