Approval and Promulgation of Plans for Designated Facilities; New Jersey; Delegation of Authority
Document Number: 06-7317
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-08-31
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes approval of a request from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for delegation of authority to implement and enforce the following three Federal plans: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI); Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSW Landfills); and Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units (Small MWC). On August 15, 2000, November 8, 1999, and January 31, 2003 respectively, EPA promulgated the Federal plans for HMIWI, MSW Landfills and Small MWCs to fulfill the requirements of sections 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act. The Federal plans impose emission limits and control requirements for existing affected facilities located in areas not covered by an approved and currently effective State plan. On May 15, 2006, NJDEP signed Memorandum of Agreements (MOAs) which act as the mechanism for the transfer of EPA authority to NJDEP. The intended effect is to approve MOAs that define the policies, responsibilities, and procedures by which the Federal plans for HMIWI, MSW Landfills and Small MWCs will be administered on behalf of EPA by NJDEP.
