SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a final rule amending the municipal 
solid waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 258 to allow for the 
issuance of research, development and demonstration (RD&D) permits (69 
FR 13242). This rule allows for variances from specified criteria for a 
limited period of time, to be implemented through state-issued RD&D 
permits. RD&D permits are available only in states with EPA approved 
MSWLF permit programs that have been modified to incorporate RD&D 
permit authority. While states are not required to seek approval for 
this new provision, those states that are interested in issuing RD&D 
permits to owners and operators of MSWLFs must seek approval from EPA 
before issuing such permits. Approval procedures for new provisions of 
40 CFR Part 258 are outlined in 40 CFR 239.12.
    Virginia's MSWLF permit program was approved by EPA on February 3, 
1993 (58 FR 6955), March 31, 1994 (59 FR 15201) and October 7, 2003 (68 
FR 57824). On September 19, 2008, Virginia applied for approval of its 
RD&D permit provisions which are included in the Virginia 
Administrative Code at 9 VAC 20-80-485D.

B. Decision

    After a thorough review, U.S. EPA Region 3 determined that 
Virginia's RD&D permit provisions at 9 VAC 20-80-485D are adequate to 
ensure compliance with the Federal criteria promulgated at 40 CFR 
258.4.

     Authority: This action is issued under the authority of section 
2002, 4005 and 4010(c) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 
42 U.S.C. 6912, 6945 and 6949a.

    Dated: January 28, 2009.
