NOX emissions from stationary engines could be impacted by these standards and the corollary implementation rules. When treated and processed, these residuals can be recycled and applied as fertilizer to improve and maintain productive soils and stimulate plant growth. EPA is examining whether some fertilizers or soil conditioners contain potentially harmful containment levels. All other fertilizers that contain hazardous wastes are, however, subject to the contaminant concentration limits established by EPA. The industry manufactures five basic fertilizer chemicals: phosphate, ammonia, urea, ammonium nitrate and nitric acid.
In those SIPs, states will evaluate, on an area by area basis, whether there is a need to regulate PM 2.5 or PM 2.5 precursors from ag related sources. Depending on the intended use and ingredients, the importation of fertilizers into this country may require approval from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and/or the destination State’s Department of Agriculture. Concerns have been raised regarding the use of certain wastes in the manufacture of agricultural fertilizers and soil amendments, and the potential for ecological or human health risks, as well as crop damage, when such fertilizers are applied to farmlands. Farms with underground storage tanks with a capacity of more than 1,100 gallons of motor fuel. Label restrictions typically require protective clothing and engineering controls (e.g., tractors with enclosed cabs and air recirculation systems). Ozone NAAQS: Some agricultural areas are impacted by these standards which primarily deal with nitrogen oxides (NOX) and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions. Producers are subject to various mobile source requirements, similar to other similar users/operators of highway and off-road vehicles, engines, equipment, and fuel. NPDES Permit required if CAFO discharges to a water of the U.S. All Large Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations that land apply manure. Biosolids are carefully treated and monitored and must be used in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Farmers who generate an average of 25 gallons or less per month of used oil from vehicles or machinery used on the farm in a calendar year are exempt from used oil regulations. Report releases of extremely hazardous substances or CERCLA hazardous substances to state and local emergency planning entities, General duty for chemical accident prevention, The owners and operators of stationary sources (facility) that handle any extremely hazardous substance in any quantity have a general duty to identify hazards, design and operate a safe facility and to prevent and/or mitigate accidental releases, Any farm handling more than a threshold quantity of extremely hazardous substances or substances requiring an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) material safety data sheet (MSDS), Emergency Planning & Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA), Report inventory of certain extremely hazardous substances to State and local planning entities, Facilities that handle more than a threshold quantity of certain toxic and/or flammable substances, Listed agricultural nutrients when held by a farmer are excluded (e.g.

Some fertilizers also contain certain "micronutrients," such as zinc and other metals, that are necessary for plant growth.
EPA is committed to a strong partnership with the agriculture community to assist in fulfilling our mission of protecting human health and the environment. Agricultural producers can return manure and crop residues to the soil as fertilizers or soil conditioners on their own property unless prohibited by other State or local laws. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) - Biosolids. Their mission is to protect human health and the environment. The engine must comply with this regulation if it is located at a facility whose emissions are at least 10tpy of one HAP or 25tpy of total HAP and if the engine itself is at least 500 HP. Fertilizers and soil amendments can be derived from: EPA offers guidance and technical assistance for the beneficial recycling of biosolids as soil amendments and fertilizer.

Established in 2008, the FRRCC provides independent policy advice, information, and recommendations to the EPA administrator on a range of environmental issues and policies that are of importance to agriculture and rural communities. Agricultural producers must demonstrate that there is no substantial risk to human health caused by the growth of such crops. Any farm that has a discharge of oil that may reach navigable waters or adjoining shoreline, Report spills of oil that reach waterways to the National Response Center.

EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by EPA (or an EPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices. Even wastes that exhibit one or more of the characteristics of a hazardous waste are exempt from regulation when the farmer triple rinses each emptied pesticide container and disposes of the rinsate on his own farm in compliance with the disposal instructions on the label.
The USDA Agricultural Research Service has patented a new technology that can remove ammonia from livestock wastewater and recycle it as a fertilizer. This is a general description of EPA’s requirements, and should only be used as a guide.
