| Title: Federal Plan Requirements for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed On or Before September 20, 1994 | |
| Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is directed to address air emissions from existing municipal waste combustors (MWC) by developing emission guidelines which States are required to follow. The Clean Air Act also requires EPA to develop companion Federal regulations that must be imposed in cases where States do not follow the Federal guidelines. The emission guidelines and the companion Federal regulations are intended to be substantively identical. On December 19, 1995, EPA adopted emission guidelines to address air emissions from large MWC (60 CFR subpart Eb). On November 12, 1998, EPA adopted companion Federal regulations (63 FR 63191). Last year, EPA revised the emission guidelines (May 10, 2006, 71 FR 27323). A rulemaking is needed to revise the existing Federal regulations to make them conform to the changes made in the emission guidelines in 2006. Recently (September 2007), EPA requested and obtained a voluntary remand from the court to review the MACT floor calculations associated with the original 1995 emission guidelines. EPA has decided not to published updated Federal regulations for municipal waste combustors until the MACT floor review is completed. The update of Federal regulations will remain in a "hold" status until the MACT floor review is completed. | |
