§ 60.6290 Are there any state plan requirements for this subpart that supersede the requirements specified in subpart B?
Subpart B of this part establishes general requirements for developing and processing CAA section 111(d) plans. This subpart applies instead of the requirements in subpart B of this part, for three items:
(a) Option for case-by-case less stringent emission standards and longer compliance schedules. State plans developed to implement this subpart must be as protective as the emission guidelines contained in this subpart. State plans must require all municipal waste combustors to comply no later than March 10, 2031. That requirement applies instead of the option for case-by-case less stringent emission standards and longer compliance schedules in § 60.24(e) and (f).
(b) Increments of progress requirements. A state plan that allows more than 1 year but less than 3 years following the date of issuance of a revised construction or operation permit, if a permit modification is required, or more than 1 year but less than 3 years following approval of the state plan, if a permit modification is not required, must include measurable and enforceable incremental steps of progress towards compliance. Suggested measurable and enforceable activities are specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(10) of this section. This requirement applies instead of the requirement of § 60.24(d) that would require a state plan to include all five increments of progress for all municipal waste combustors.
(1) Date for obtaining services of an architectural and engineering firm regarding the air pollution control device(s);
(2) Date for obtaining design drawings of the air pollution control device(s);
(3) Date for submittal of permit modifications, if necessary;
(4) Date for submittal of the final control plan to the Administrator [§ 60.21 (h)(1) of subpart B of this part.];
(5) Date for ordering the air pollution control device(s);
(6) Date for obtaining the major components of the air pollution control device(s);
(7) Date for initiation of site preparation for installation of the air pollution control device(s);
(8) Date for initiation of installation of the air pollution control device(s);
(9) Date for initial startup of the air pollution control device(s); and
(10) Date for initial performance test(s) of the air pollution control device(s).
(c) Date of submittal of state plan. Each state in which a designated facility is located shall submit to EPA a plan to implement and enforce all provisions of this subpart no later than March 10, 2027. This requirement is in accordance with section 129(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act and applies instead of the schedule required in § 60.23(a)(1) of subpart B of this part.
