| 95-9380 | Wyoming; Final Determination of Partial Program Adequacy of the State's Municipal Solid Waste Permit Program | Notice | Section 4005(c)(1)(B) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires States to develop and implement permit programs to ensure that municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) which may receive hazardous household waste or conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste will comply with the revised Federal MSWLF Criteria (40 CFR part 258). Section 4005(c)(1)(C) of RCRA requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine whether States have adequate ``permit'' [[Page 19252]] programs for MSWLFs, but does not mandate issuance of a rule for such determinations. EPA has drafted and is in the process of proposing the State/Tribal Implementation Rule (STIR) that will allow both States and Tribes to apply for and receive approval of a partial permit program. The Agency intends to approve adequate State/Tribal MSWLF permit programs as applications are submitted. Thus, these approvals are not dependent on final promulgation of the STIR. Prior to promulgation of the STIR, adequacy determinations will be made based on the statutory authorities and requirements. In addition, States/Tribes may use the draft STIR as an aid in interpreting these requirements. The Agency believes that early approvals have an important benefit. Approved State/Tribal permit programs provide interaction between the State/Tribe and the owner/ operator regarding site-specific permit conditions. Only those owners/ operators located in States/Tribes with approved permit programs can use the site-specific flexibility provided by part 258 to the extent the State/Tribal permit program allows such flexibility. EPA notes that regardless of the approval status of a State/Tribe and the permit status of any facility, the Federal Criteria will apply to all permitted and unpermitted MSWLFs. The State of Wyoming applied for a partial determination of adequacy under section 4005 of RCRA. EPA reviewed Wyoming's MSWLF application and made a tentative determination for those portions of the State's MSWLF permit program that are adequate to assure compliance with the revised MSWLF Criteria. After reviewing all comments received, EPA today is granting final approval to Wyoming's partial program. All but one element of the Federal Criteria are included in this approval. | 1995-04-17 | 1995 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/04/17/95-9380/wyoming-final-determination-of-partial-program-adequacy-of-the-states-municipal-solid-waste-permit | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-04-17/pdf/95-9380.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Section 4005(c)(1)(B) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires States to develop and implement permit programs to ensure that municipal solid waste landfills... |
