Proposed Revision to the West Virginia Section 111(d) State Plan

Control of Air Pollution from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

Notice of Public Hearing and Public Comment Period

The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Division of Air 
Quality (DAQ)
is revising the Clean Air Act § 111(d) State Plan for the Control of Air 
Pollution from Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) Landfills. This plan revision incorporates changes made to rule 45 
C.S.R. 23 - “Control of
Air Pollution from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills”. This rule change requires 
DAQ to submit a State Plan
revision for MSW landfills and conduct a public hearing.

DAQ will hold a public hearing on Monday, August 20, 2018 beginning at 5:30 
p.m. on a proposed
revised State Plan to implement Emission Guidelines for MSW landfills.
The public hearing is being held to satisfy the requirements for submitting a 
revised § 111(d) State
Plan. The revised plan will be submitted to the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (USEPA)
and supplemented by legislative rule 45 C.S.R. 23 - “Control of Air Pollution 
from Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills,” which became effective June 1, 2018. This rule gives West Virginia 
regulatory authority to
adopt, implement and enforce the Emission Guidelines requirements for existing 
MSW landfills and the
New Source Performance Standards for new facilities, either directly through 
administrative action
requiring compliance with 45 C.S.R. 23, or by including such requirements in 
State permits, where
applicable.
