On December 11, 2020, the EPA Administrator granted a petition to object to a state operating permit for the Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority's facility in Montgomery County, Maryland. This petition was submitted by the Environmental Integrity Project and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network due to concerns about monitoring requirements for hydrogen chloride emissions.
