Environmental Protection Agency June 17, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

EPA is offering holders of Texas flexible air permits an opportunity to participate in a voluntary compliance audit program (hereinafter ``Audit Program'') that is intended to expeditiously identify the Federally-enforceable Clean Air Act (CAA) unit specific emission limitations, operating parameter requirements, and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping (MMR) requirements for determining compliance for all units covered by a facility's flexible permit. EPA believes that the program will generate environmental benefits for the public in Texas as well as a measure of regulatory stability for holders of Texas flexible permits. EPA is requesting informal comment on the Audit Program. EPA will respond generally to comments received and reserves its right to make modifications to implementation of the Audit Program at its discretion, as warranted.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete portions of the On-Post Operable Unit (OU3), specifically the Central and Eastern Surface Areas including surface media and structures (CES), and the surface media of the entire Off-Post Operable Unit (OU4) (OPS) of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Federal Facility (RMA) from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and the State of Colorado, through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), have determined that all appropriate response actions at these identified parcels under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed. However this deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
