Approval of the Clean Air Act, Section 112(l), Authority for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Asbestos Management and Control; State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services

Under the Clean Air Act ("CAA") and Federal regulations promulgated there under, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services ("NH DES") submitted a request for approval to implement and enforce the readopted and re-codified "Env-Sw 2100: Management and Control of Asbestos Disposal Sites Not Operated after July 9, 1981," and the amended "Env-A 1801-1807.01: Asbestos Management and Control," (amended Asbestos Management Rules) in place of the National Emission Standard for Asbestos ("Asbestos NESHAP"). EPA has reviewed this request and has determined that the amended Asbestos Management Rules satisfy the requirements necessary for approval. Thus, EPA is hereby granting NH DES the authority to implement and enforce the amended Asbestos Management Rules in place of the Asbestos NESHAP. This approval makes NH DES's amended Asbestos Management Rules federally enforceable.
