### NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Department ofEnvironmental Protection (MassDEP), acting 'in accordance with the provisions ofM
. G.L. Chapter 111, Sectiohs 142A through 142N, will hold public hearings on p roposed revisions to 310 CMR 7.00 et seq., Regulations for the Control of Air Pollution. The Commonwealth is committed to measures designed to attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards. The proposed amendments are part ofthat commitment and will be proposed as a rev i sion to the Massachusetts State Implementation Plan (SIP). MassDEP is p roposing revisions to its regul a tions for Stage II , the Environmental Resu lts Program (ERP) for perch loroethylene (perc) dry cleaning fac ilities (ERP-DC) and the requirements for stationary engines and combustion turbines for combined heat and power (CHP) projects. The proposed revisions to the Stage II program seek to address certain sections ofthe regulations found to be unclear or at odds with efficient and effective facility compliance as well as a number of housekeeping meas ures updating applicable program requirements. The proposed amendments t o the requirements for stationary engines and combustion turbines for CHP projects provide emission credits in recognit ion th at CHP p ro j ect s make more efficient use of the energy conta ined in the fuel, and consequently reduce greenho u se gas and other emissions as compared to separate systems. Finally, the proposed amendments to the ERP dry cleaning regulations incorporate the recent amendments to the federal Maximum Available Control Technology (MACT) standard (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart M) which will allow Massachusetts perc dry cleaners to comp ly with both federal and state requirements under one program (ERP-DC). Pub lic hearings will be conduc ted under the provisions ofM.G. L. Chapter 30A on: Apr il 30, 2008 at 10 :00 a .m.
