Ohio Environmental Protection Agency

Five-Year Rule Review of Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-76, "Control of NMOC Emissions from Existing Landfills"

 

Notice is hereby given that the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Air Pollution Control (DAPC) has performed a review of the above referenced rules primarily to satisfy the requirements of Section 106.03 and 106.031 of the Ohio Revised Code (five-year review). The DAPC finds Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) rules 3745-76-01 and 3745-76-10 to be necessary and with need for changes.

 

The rules in this chapter regulate the control of non-methane organic compounds (NMCO) for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills in existence on May 31, 1991 that have not been modified or expanded.

 

DAPC is proposing to make minor changes to the two rules as follows; to add information on the version and availability of items referenced in OAC rule 3745-76-01, and to fix a citation in paragraph (B)(2) of OAC rule 3745-76-10.

 

Pursuant to Section 121.39 of the Ohio Revised Code, DAPC was required to consult with interested parties affected by the rules before the Division formally adopts them. On December 10, 2015, these rules went out for a 30-day review by interested parties. No c0mments were received.

 

Pursuant to Section 106.03 and 106.031 of the Ohio Revised Code, a public hearing on these rule changes will be conducted on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 10:30 AM at Ohio EPA, Lazarus Government Center, 50

W. Town Street, Suite 700, Columbus, Ohio. All visitors to Ohio EPA must register at the Security desk in the lobby upon arrival. Please bring photo identification (such as a valid driver's license). For security reasons, visitors are required to wear their badge at all times while in the building. Please arrive early to complete these procedures.

 

All interested persons are entitled to attend or be represented at the hearing and give written or oral comments on these rule changes. All oral comments presented at the hearing, and all written statements submitted at the hearing or by the close of business on July 6, 2016, will be considered by Ohio EPA prior to final action on this rule. Written statements submitted after July 6, 2016, may be considered as time and circumstances permit, but will not be part of the official record of the hearing.
