Description
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the state implementation plan (SIP) for three state regulations submitted by the State of Delaware through the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on February 3, 2025. The revisions amend certain startup and shutdown provisions to address deficiencies identified in a prior disapproval action from October 23, 2023. The proposed changes remove potential exemptions from emission limitations during startup and shutdown events, strengthening Delaware's SIP and aligning it with revised state regulations. The EPA is soliciting public comments on these proposed SIP revisions, with comments due by June 1, 2026.
