Summary:

The federal Clean Air Act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish procedures for states to submit plans to control facilities that emit designated pollutants. These procedures are established in Subpart B of 40 CFR Part 60. Section 129 of the Act requires that EPA establish performance standards and other requirements pursuant to §§ 111 and 129 for each category of solid waste incineration units. Such standards include emissions limitations and other requirements applicable to new units and guidelines and other requirements applicable to existing units. It also requires states to submit plans for these sources in a process similar to that in § 111(d). Subpart B provides that EPA will publish guideline documents for development of state emission standards after promulgation of any standard of performance for designated pollutants. The emission guidelines (EGs) reflect the degree of emission reduction attainable with the best adequately demonstrated systems of emission reduction, considering costs, applied to existing facilities. EPA established EGs for sewage sludge incinerators in the Federal Register of March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15372). In order to implement the EGs, it is necessary for Virginia to develop and adopt a state regulation containing those limits.
