On June 12, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified the State Implementation Plans (SIP) of 36 states as inadequate because they allegedly allowed unregulated excess emissions (80 FR 33840). This EPA action is known as the “Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction (SSM) SIP Call”.
On October 23, 2023 EPA issued a final rule disapproving Delaware’s November 26, 2016 SSM SIP Call submittal for four of Delaware’s regulations. Delaware is proposing to amend the regulations in response to EPA’s disapproval, to comply with the 2015 SSM SIP Call.
The hearing will address amendments to the following regulations regarding the startup, shutdown and malfunction of fuel burning equipment:
The proposed amendments may be inspected online starting Aug. 1, 2024, in the Delaware Register of Regulations, or in-person, by appointment only, by contacting Kelsey Pangman by phone at 302-323-4542 or by email at Kelsey.Pangman@delaware.gov.
The Department will accept public comment through Sept. 11, 2024. Comments will be accepted in written form via email to DNRECHearingComments@delaware.gov, using the online form at de.gov/dnreccomments, or by U.S. mail to the address on this page.
