| 2015-28666 | Revision to the Research, Development and Demonstration Permits Rule for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise the maximum permit term for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) units operating under Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) permits. The RD&D permit program, which began in 2004, allows landfill facilities to utilize innovative and new methods that vary from the prescribed run-on control systems, liquids restrictions, and final cover criteria if these systems are determined by the Director of states with EPA-approved RD&D programs, as defined in 40 CFR 258.2, to meet the criteria in 40 CFR 258.4. The current rule limits permits for these units to 3 years each, renewable 3 times for a total permit term of 12 years. If finalized, this rule will allow the Director of an approved State to increase the number of permit renewals to 6, for a total permit term of up to 21 years. The EPA is not proposing any other changes to the existing MSWLF RD&D permit program at this time. | 2015-11-13 | 2015 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/11/13/2015-28666/revision-to-the-research-development-and-demonstration-permits-rule-for-municipal-solid-waste | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-11-13/pdf/2015-28666.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise the maximum permit term for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) units operating under Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) permits.
