Trial to Inside EPA

EPA remains on track to sign its sweeping air toxics rule regulating much of the organic chemical and polymers manufacturing sector by March 29, likely with few changes from the proposed version, environmentalists and agency officials say, clearing the way for new limits and fenceline monitoring requirements for ethylene oxide (EtO) and a suite of other previously unregulated chemicals.

From Climate Extra

EPA is formally seeking input on its plan to regulate greenhouse gas and other emissions from existing gas-fired power plants, with officials taking the first step in the regulatory process after they announced they would remove such plants from its forthcoming final GHG standards for new gas plants and existing coal plants.

State waste officials are pressing EPA on how it will implement guidance for cleaning up lead-contaminated soil at Superfund sites and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action sites, questioning how the lowered screening levels will apply in different scenarios and emphasizing the need to include states in cleanup decisions.

From Inside TSCA

A top EPA toxics official says the agency will finalize “in a few weeks” its closely watched TSCA methylene chloride rule -- which she said will provide a clearer roadmap for future policies than the “unique” chrysotile asbestos rule -- but is seeing delays on several proposals as the White House focuses resources on completing final rules ahead of the election.

The head of the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) is questioning the Biden administration’s latest push for states to bolster cybersecurity at drinking water utilities, warning that a 60-day timeline to develop new plans is unrealistic and amounts to a “quasi-mandate” despite EPA’s framing of the initiative as voluntary.
