Action:
Repeal of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (Rev. J11)
Action 3604
General Information
| Action Summary |
Since the initial adoption of Article 44, Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI) (9VAC5-40-6000 et seq.), all three designated incinerator facilities have been dismantled. In 2009, EPA promulgated revised HMIWI emission guidelines that triggered the need for revised regulations and new state plan submittals. With no facilities in operation in the Commonwealth, a negative declaration was submitted to EPA and approved in 2010. Because there are no sources in the state to control, and because there are no longer HMIWI components in the federal rule for Virginia, there is no longer a need for the corresponding Virginia regulation. The definition of the term “metropolitan statistical area” in 9VAC5-10-20 and the listing of such areas in 9VAC5-20-202 should also be repealed as the term is only used in Article 44 and no other regulation of the board. |
