The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve Wisconsin's request to withdraw a previous declaration that stated it had no Large Municipal Waste Combustors (LMWCs). Now, with one LMWC unit operating, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wants the federal plan to apply to this single unit instead of creating a new state plan. The EPA believes it would be unreasonable to require Wisconsin to make a state plan for just one unit and is moving forward with allowing the federal plan to remain in effect. This proposed rule will have no significant economic impact on small entities.
Simple Explanation
The EPA is saying it's okay for Wisconsin to follow a big plan from the U.S. government instead of making their own special rules for handling trash from a giant waste-burning machine, because they only have one of them in the whole state.
