EPA Finalizes Amendments To Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

0

Action Includes First Regulation Addressing Ethylene Oxide

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continued its progress on a suite of actions to address ethylene oxide by announcing final amendments to the Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), known as MON, to reduce hazardous air pollutants, including ethylene oxide. The final MON amendments are expected to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the source category by 107 tons per year, which includes reductions in ethylene oxide emission of approximately 0.76 tons per year.
“EPA’s actions underscore the Trump Administration’s commitment to addressing and reducing hazardous air pollutants, including ethylene oxide emissions, across the country,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we are growing our economy while protecting the environment. This rule will provide improved compliance measures for industry while continuing to clean up our air.”
This final action addresses EPA’s obligation under the Clean Air Act to conduct the residual risk and technology (RTR) review for the miscellaneous organic chemical manufacturing source category. EPA evaluated the risks posed by air toxics from this source category and determining cancer risks for this source category to be unacceptable.
To reduce risks to an acceptable level, EPA has finalized additional requirements for process vents, storage tanks, and equipment in ethylene oxide service. In addition to reducing ethylene oxide emissions, the MON amendments include updates to requirements for flares controlling ethylene oxide emissions, or emissions from processes that produce olefins and polyolefins, heat exchange systems, and equipment leaks. Once these requirements are implemented, EPA has determined that risks will be acceptable and will provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health.

Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” June 5, 2020

Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” June 5, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

Q&A: Gary Kostbade

0

During his third season on campus, Kostbade turned in a pair of top-15 finishes at the 2020 Men’s Swimming and Diving Big Ten Championships. He touched the wall in 12th place with a time of 1:55.47 in the 200 Breaststroke and notched a 15th-place effort in the 100 Breaststroke with a time of 53.10.

 Where are you at right now?

Home – Chesterton, Ind.

What is your major?

Biology with the intent to attend Dental School.

How are you interacting with your teammates?

The normal ways: Snapchat, texting and Zoom.

How was the adjustment to online classes?

At first, it was crazy and confusing. But I think I survived it pretty well.

What gives you encouragement and motivation during this time?

The biggest motivation for me has been seeing my teammates workout. Also, knowing that training hard now will make the transition back to the pool a little bit easier has been key for me.

What is something you and your family are doing to pass the time?

We have been working in the yard, going for bike rides and playing with our dogs.

What shows are you catching up on?

I have watched a bunch of movies. I have even gone back and re-watched some of the Marvel movies.

What are you most looking forward to when you get back to practice/competition?

I cannot wait to be with my teammates again. And of course, I am looking forward to dying during breaststroke practices again.

What advice do you give to your fellow Hoosiers during this time?

My advice to Hoosier Nation would be to be thankful for the opportunity to be with family and to just take everything day-by-day. And to control what you can control.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT UPDATES STATEWIDE COVID-19 CASE COUNTS

0

The Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) today announced that 452 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19 through testing at ISDH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and private laboratories. That brings to 36,096 the total number of Indiana residents known to have the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s total.

Intensive care unit and ventilator capacity remains steady. As of today, nearly 38 percent of ICU beds and nearly 83 percent of ventilators are available.

A total of 2,052 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of 20 over the previous day. Another 179 probable deaths have been reported based on clinical diagnoses in patients for whom no positive test is on record. Deaths are reported based on when data are received by ISDH and occurred over multiple days. 

         To date, 285,234 tests have been reported to ISDH, up from 277,815 on Wednesday.

Hoosiers who have symptoms of COVID-19 and those who have been exposed and need a test to return to work are encouraged to visit a state-sponsored testing site for free testing. Individuals without symptoms who are at high risk because they are over age 65, have diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or another underlying condition, as well as those who are pregnant, live with a high-risk individual or are a member of a minority population that is at greater risk for severe illness, also are encouraged to get tested.

To find testing locations, visit www.coronavirus.in.gov and click on the COVID-19 testing information link. More than 200 locations are available around the state.

 

Stabbing At West Franklin Street Bar

Stabbing At West Franklin Street Bar

On June 4 around 2:40 a.m., the Evansville Police Department was notified of a stabbing at 2126 W. Franklin St. (Franklin Street Tavern).

When officers arrived on scene multiple witnesses ran towards officers stating that the suspect was trying to leave. The suspect, Zachary Miller (33), was immediately located and placed in custody. 

 Camera footage from the business and bystanders was located and showed Miller pulling a knife on a group of people outside the bar. Another male, later identified as Jacob Rice (21), then tried to tackle the suspect from behind and was stabbed. Once Miller was on the ground, 4-5 other males began to punch and kick Miller. Miller was able to break away and then chased after the other males with his knife.

He was able to catch one of the males and held the knife to his throat. That male fled prior to officers’ arrival. The knife used by Miller was located at the scene. Miller and Rice were both transported to the hospital to be medically cleared and are still being treated at this time. 

FOOTNOTE: Rice was charged with battery and disorderly conduct. Miller was charged with battery committed with a deadly weapon.
