Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action on revisions to the State Plan submitted by New York to fulfill the requirements of sections 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act for Municipal Waste Combustors (MWC). The revisions concern the implementation and enforcement of the Emissions Guidelines, as amended by EPA on August 25, 1997, applicable to existing large MWC units with individual capacity to combust more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste. We are approving the State Plan which imposes revised emission limits for four pollutants (hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and lead) and compliance schedules for the existing MWC's in New York which will reduce the designated pollutants.
