| 96-29658 | Wisconsin: Final Full Program Determination of Adequacy of State Municipal Solid Waste Landfill 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 household hazardous waste or small quantity generator waste will comply with the revised Federal MSWLF Criteria (40 CFR Part 258). RCRA section 4005(c)(1)(C) requires the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to determine whether States have adequate ``permit'' programs for MSWLFs, but does not mandate issuance of a rule governing such determinations. The USEPA has proposed a State/Tribal Implementation Rule (STIR) (61 FR 2584, January 26, 1996) that provides procedures by which the USEPA will approve, or partially approve, State/Tribal landfill permit programs. The Agency intends to approve adequate State MSWLF permit programs as applications are submitted. Thus, these approvals are not dependent on final promulgation of the STIR. Prior to final promulgation of the STIR, adequacy determinations will be made based on statutory authorities and requirements. In addition, States/Tribes may use the proposed STIR as an aid in interpreting these requirements. The Agency believes that early approvals have an important benefit. Approved State/Tribal permit programs provide for 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 40 CFR Part 258 to the extent the State/Tribal permit program allows such flexibility. Wisconsin applied for a partial program determination of adequacy under Section 4005 of RCRA on July 27, 1992. The USEPA reviewed Wisconsin's application and made a final determination of adequacy (57 FR 61899, December 29, 1992) for those portions of the MSWLF permit program that were adequate to ensure compliance with the revised Federal MSWLF Criteria. Wisconsin amended its original application and applied for full program approval on September 27, 1996. The USEPA reviewed Wisconsin's amended application and today is issuing a tentative determination of adequacy for all portions of Wisconsin's MSWLF permit program. Wisconsin's amended application for full program adequacy determination is available for public review and comment. The tentative determination will become final and effective sixty (60) days following the date of this publication if no adverse comments are received. | 1996-11-20 | 1996 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/11/20/96-29658/wisconsin-final-full-program-determination-of-adequacy-of-state-municipal-solid-waste-landfill | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-11-20/pdf/96-29658.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... |
