SWANAdvocate: Latest Legislative News Impacting the Solid Waste Industry

摘要

In August 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing landfills, a major rule that will have effect across the MSW landfill industry. This is the rule's first major update since its promulgation in 1996. At the same time, the EPA also released a supplement to its previously proposed air rule for new landfills, making further reductions to its emissions threshold.
