EPA proposes approval of West Virginia declarations on covered waste incinerators

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region III, proposes a regulatory update concerning West Virginia’s declarations about waste incinerators. - Government entities: EPA, Region III, and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP). - Proposal: EPA proposes to approve WVDEP declarations that no covered large municipal waste combustors or other solid waste incinerators are operating in West Virginia. - Regulatory context: The proposal concerns applicable Clean Air Act requirements and would update 40 CFR part 62. - Public input: EPA is seeking public comments on the proposed rule. - Procurement status: This is a regulatory notice, not a procurement opportunity. No products, services, vendors, OEMs, quantities, or part numbers are specified.

Description

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to approve negative declarations submitted by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection on July 13, 2026. The declarations certify that there are no existing large municipal waste combustors or other solid waste incinerators subject to sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act within West Virginia's jurisdiction. The proposed action would amend 40 CFR part 62 to reflect EPA's receipt of the declarations, which serve in lieu of a state plan for these source categories. Written comments must be received by November 6, 2026.
