Air Toxics Program >> "112(r)"

Program Levels

Processes subject to these requirements are divided into three levels, labeled Program 1, 2, and 3. Every process that is subject to the regulation must be placed in one of the three program levels. Eligibility for any given program is based on criteria so that classification of one process in a program does not influence the classification of other processes at the source.

  • One worst-case scenario required for each Program 1 process
  • No alternative scenaria required
    PROGRAM 2 AND 3 PROCESSES
  • One worst-case scenario for toxics and one worst-case scenario for flammables
  • Additional worst-case scenario if different public receptors affected
  • One alternative scenario for EACH toxic substance and one alternative scenario for ALL flammable substances held above the threshold quantity.
 
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM
 
    PROGRAM 1 PROCESS
       Facilities must coordinate with local emergency responders such as Local Emergency Planning

  • Facilities with reculated toxic above the threshold quantity must:
    1. coordinate with local emergency responders and be included in the community emergency response plan or
    2. have a trained emergency response team to respond to any accident involving the regulated process. The emergency response plan used by the emergency response team must be coordinated with the community emergency response plan.
  • Facilities with regulated flammables above the threshold quantities must have coordinated response actions with the local fire department OR have a trained emergency response team to respond to any accident involving the regulated process. The emergency response plan used by the emergency response team must be coordinated with the community emergency response plan.
  • For both flammables and toxins, appropriate mechanisms must be in place to notify emergency responders when there is a need for a response.
