Title: NSPS: New Source Performance Standards and Emission Guidelines for Other Solid Waste Incinerators
Abstract: Section 129 of the Clean Air Act of 1990 requires the Agency to promulgate New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines (EG) for solid waste incinerators. Section 129 specifically required the Administrator to publish a schedule for regulating Other Solid Waste Incinerators (OSWI). A notice in the Federal Register was published on November 2, 1993 that announced that the Administrator would promulgate OSWI standards by November 15, 2000. The notice also listed what classes of incinerators would be covered by the OSWI standards. Because it is believed that these OSWI emit significant amounts of air pollution that cause public health and environmental problems, the Administrator intends to promulgate the NSPS and EG for OSWI in accordance with section 129. Standards will be set for the following pollutants: particulate matter, opacity, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead cadmium, mercury, and dioxins and dibenzofurans.
