RULE 1421. CONTROL OF PERCHLOROETHYLENE EMISSIONS FROM DRY CLEANING SYSTEMS.
(a) Purpose
The purpose of the rule is to protect public health by reducing perchloroethylene emissions from dry cleaning systems.

This will be accomplished by requiring perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities to: phase out transfer, vented, and self-service machines; require the use of a closed-loop, dry-to-dry machine; install primary and/or secondary controls as appropriate; and institute good operating, reporting, and recordkeeping practices.
(b) Applicability
The rule applies to all persons owning or operating a perchloroethylene dry cleaning facility.
(c) Definitions
For the purposes of this rule, the following definitions shall apply.
