This web page provides access to draft documents available for review and comment.  Details and deadlines for submitting comments are provided below. Links to final documents will be published here as MassDEP issues them.

Air Pollution Control Regulations for Municipal Waste Combustors

MassDEP will soon propose amendments to its air pollution control regulations pertaining to municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators at 310 CMR 7.08 & 310 CMR 7.19. 

The agency sought input from the Air Permitting Forum in an early informal review and discussion of the draft amendments at a public meeting held on June 9, 2011, at the MassDEP Central Regional Office in Worcester.  The public meeting was not part of a formal public comment period, but a way for stakeholders to contribute to MassDEP's regulation development process before the formal public notice and comment period begins.
