The stationary source compliance audit program
On November 15, 1990, the Clean Air Act (CAA) was amended and a list of 189 compounds that are considered to be Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) was included. These pollutants are to be regulated through the development of Toxics Methods, which include Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standards, and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). In support of these Federal regulations, audit materials are developed, validated, and provided to State and local agencies to ensure high quality source emissions compliance data. These performance evaluation samples have traditionally been requested from the Stationary Source Compliance Test Coordinator of the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA's) National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) by the regulatory agency for who the compliance test is being conducted. As of January 1, 1998, the Stationary Source Compliance Audit Program (SSCAP) was taken over by the EPA's Emission Measurement Center (EMC) and many changes instituted. These modifications to the program provide a more effective and efficient way to implement the performance evaluations.
