Abstract
We are approving the section 111(d) Plan submitted by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) on December 30, 1998, to implement and enforce the Emissions Guidelines (EG) for existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (MWI). The EG requires States to develop plans to reduce toxic air emissions from all MWIs. We are also approving a revision to the Louisiana State Plan as it pertains to existing municipal solid waste landfills. This revision adds certain increments of progress so that we can more effectively track facilities' progress towards compliance.
