| 97-21920 | Iowa 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 (MSWLF) which may receive hazardous household 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 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine whether states have adequate ``permit'' programs for MSWLFs, but does not mandate issuance of a rule governing such determinations. The EPA has drafted and is in the process of proposing a State Implementation Rule (SIR) that will provide procedures by which the EPA will approve, or partially approve, state landfill permit programs. The Agency intends to approve adequate state MSWLF permit programs as applications are submitted. Thus, the approvals are not dependent on final promulgation of the SIR. Prior to promulgation of the SIR, adequacy determinations will be made based on the statutory authorities and requirements. In addition, states may use the draft SIR as an aid in interpreting these requirements. The Agency believes that early approvals have an important benefit. Approved state permit programs provide for interaction between the state and the owner/operator regarding site-specific permit conditions. Only those owners/operators located in state with approved permit programs can use the site-specific flexibility provided by 40 CFR part 258 to the extent the state permit program allows such flexibility. The EPA notes that regardless of the approval status of a state and the permit status of any facility, the Federal criteria in 40 CFR part 258 will apply to all permitted and unpermitted MSWLF facilities. Iowa applied for a determination of adequacy under section 4005 of RCRA. The EPA reviewed Iowa's application and has made a decision, subject to public review and comment, that Iowa's municipal solid waste landfill permit program satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Thus, the EPA is approving Iowa's MSWLF permit program. | 1997-08-19 | 1997 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/08/19/97-21920/iowa-final-full-program-determination-of-adequacy-of-state-municipal-solid-waste-landfill-permit | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-08-19/pdf/97-21920.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... |
