Emissions Activity Category Form

FOR OHIO EPA USE FACILITY ID:______EU ID: ______PTI#:______

EMISSIONS ACTIVITY CATEGORY FORM IRON PRODUCTION

This form is to be completed for each operation which is part of an iron production facility. State/Federal regulations which may apply to iron production facilities are listed in the instructions. Note that there may be other regulations which apply to this emissions unit which are not included in this list.

Note: This emissions activity category (EAC) form does not include roadways and parking areas, storage piles, and material handling operations which may also be associated with an iron production facility. Therefore, additional EAC forms may need to be submitted for these emissions units.
