New Hampshire: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting New Hampshire final authorization for changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Agency published a proposed rule on March 1, 2019, and provided for public comment. Four (4) comments were received during the public comment period. A summary and response to these comments is provided below. These comments did not affect EPA's decision. No further opportunity for comment will be provided.
Air Plan Approval; GA and TN; Interstate Transport (Prongs 1 and 2) for the 2010 1-Hour NO2
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Georgia, through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD), via a letter dated July 24, 2018, and the State of Tennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC), via a letter dated May 14, 2018, for the purpose of addressing the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) ``good neighbor'' interstate transport (prongs 1 and 2) infrastructure SIP requirements for the 2010 1-hour Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure SIP.'' Specifically, EPA is approving these SIP revisions addressing prongs 1 and 2 to ensure that air emissions in each of these two states do not significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS in any other state.
Air Plan Approval; OR; 2015 Ozone NAAQS Interstate Transport Requirements
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires each State Implementation Plan (SIP) to contain adequate provisions prohibiting emissions that will have certain adverse air quality effects in other states. On September 25, 2018, the State of Oregon made a submission to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address these requirements for the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The EPA is approving the submission as meeting the requirement that each SIP contain adequate provisions to prohibit emissions that will significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2015 ozone NAAQS in any other state.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Boat Manufacturing and Reinforced Plastic Composites Production Residual Risk and Technology Review
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Boat Manufacturing and the NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production. The proposed amendments address the results of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) conducted as required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) for these source categories. The EPA is proposing to find the risks due to emissions of air toxics from these source categories under the current standards to be acceptable and that the standards provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health. We are proposing no revisions to the numerical emission limits or other aspects of the rules based on these risk analyses or technology reviews. Additionally, the EPA is proposing to amend provisions addressing emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) and to amend provisions regarding electronic reporting of certain notifications, performance test results, and semiannual reports.
