Due to the need for more information on the proposed amendments, the comment period has been extended until July 16, 2025, allowing the public to submit their opinions and additional information, including historical pollution data. Comments can be submitted online, via email, fax, mail, or hand delivery, with detailed instructions provided in the notice.

  • 2024-30535 — Partial Approval, Partial Disapproval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency; Control of Emissions From Existing Large Municipal Waste Combustors
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 105468
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a rule that partially approves and partially disapproves a State Plan submitted by the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency. The plan aims to set emission limits for large municipal waste combustors in Spokane County, Washington. While it meets guidelines for existing large waste combustors, the plan does not include requirements for fluidized bed combustors and air curtain incinerators, leading to partial disapproval. This rule, under the Clean Air Act, has an effective date of January 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA said "yes" and "no" to some new rules that Spokane wanted for controlling pollution from big trash burners. They liked some parts but didn't like how the rules forgot to include rules for two other kinds of trash burners.
