Subject:	Energy and Environmental Impacts for Mineral Wool Production
Industry to Comply with Proposed Residual Risk and Technology Review
Amendments 

Mineral Wool Production  RTR

The purpose of this memorandum is to present the estimated energy and
environmental impacts related to the mineral wool production source
category for their processes and facilities to comply with the proposed
RTR amendments and associated emission limits.

BACKGROUND 

Based on the information provided by the mineral wool production
industry and their primary trade association, North American Insulation
Manufacturers Association (NAIMA), there are currently 7 facilities in
the U.S. producing mineral wool. 

ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS  

We estimate that none of 7 facilities subject to the NESHAP will have to
install additional add-on control equipment to demonstrate compliance
with the new (proposed) emission limits or other requirements. 
Therefore, there are no energy or environmental impacts associated with
the proposed requirements.
