  • 2021-03983 — Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; Large Municipal Waste Combustors Negative Declaration Withdrawal for Designated Facilities and Pollutants
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:86 FR 11916
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    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.

    Reading Time:less than a minute

    Midwest Hydro, LLC submitted a request to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a water quality certification as part of a project.

If the Wisconsin DNR does not respond by that date, the authority to certify the request is considered waived under the Clean Water Act.

    Simple Explanation

    Midwest Hydro wants to do something near water in Wisconsin, but they need approval to make sure they don't hurt the water. They asked for this approval at the start of the year, and Wisconsin has a whole year to decide yes or no. If Wisconsin doesn't decide by then, it's like they said yes by not saying anything.

If Wisconsin doesn't decide by then, it's like saying "yes" automatically.

  • 2021-02745 — Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; VOC RACT Requirements for Lithographic Printing Facilities
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 9294
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) requested by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This revision concerns rules for controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from offset lithographic printing operations in Wisconsin. The new rules align with EPA's 2006 guidelines and clarify VOC requirements for printing facilities across nine Wisconsin counties. The approval was finalized without public comments and will be effective starting March 15, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is giving a thumbs-up to Wisconsin's new rules that help keep the air clean by controlling how much smelly stuff, called VOCs, can come from big printing machines in certain areas. These new rules will start on March 15, 2021, and will help make sure the air stays nice and fresh without adding new things to worry about.
