Are You Concerned About Compliance? Use EPA Method 1664A Now That EPA Method 413 Has Been Removed.

On March 12, 2007, the Federal Register Final Rule, 40 CFR Part 122, 136 withdrew the approval of all oil and grease methods that use chlorofluorocarbon-113 (CFC-113, Freon-113) as an extraction solvent. This Rule has been pending for several years and is now official, and must be implemented by all facilities that monitor for oil and grease.

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was initiated to regulate, and eventually phase out, the use of CFCs and other ozone-depleting chemicals. As a party to the Montreal Protocol, the United States, as required by law under the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 (CAAA), was committed to controlling and phasing out the use of CFCs. As a result of this mandate, the U.S. EPA developed Method 1664A to replace Method 413.1 and Standard Method 5520B, both of which use Freon 113, a Class 1 CFC, as the extraction solvent for the determination of oil and grease and petroleum hydrocarbons.
