Adequacy of Virginia’s Municipal Solid 

Waste Landfill Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Determination of 

Adequacy. 

SUMMARY: On March 22, 2004, the U.S. 

EPA issued final regulations allowing 

research, development, and 

demonstration (RD&D) permits to be 

issued to certain municipal solid waste 

landfills (MSWLF) by approved states. 

On September 19, 2008 Virginia 

submitted an application to U.S. EPA 

Region 3 seeking approval of its RD&D 

requirements. Virginia’s RD&D 

requirements allow Virginia to issue 

research, development and 

demonstration (RD&D) permits to 

owners and operators of MSWLF units 

in accordance with state law. Subject to 

public review and comment, this notice 

approves Virginia’s RD&D permit 

requirements. 

DATES: This determination of RD&D 

program adequacy for Virginia will 

become effective May 18, 2009 unless 

adverse comments are received on or 

before May 18, 2009. If adverse 

comments are received, the U.S. EPA 

will review those comments and 

publish another FR document 

responding to those comments and 

either affirming or revising the U.S. 

EPA’s initial decision. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to Mike Giuranna, Land and 

Chemicals Division, Office of Materials 

Management (Mail Code 3LC40), U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a 

final rule amending the municipal solid 

waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 

258 to allow for the issuance of 

research, development and 

demonstration (RD&D) permits (69 FR 

13242). This rule allows for variances 

from specified criteria for a limited 

period of time, to be implemented 

through state-issued RD&D permits. 

RD&D permits are available only in 

states with EPA approved MSWLF 

permit programs that have been 

modified to incorporate RD&D permit 

authority. While states are not required 

to seek approval for this new provision, 

those states that are interested in issuing 

RD&D permits to owners and operators 

of MSWLFs must seek approval from 

EPA before issuing such permits. 

Approval procedures for new provisions 

of 40 CFR Part 258 are outlined in 40 

CFR 239.12. 

Virginia’s MSWLF permit program 

was approved by EPA on February 3, 

1993 (58 FR 6955), March 31, 1994 (59 

FR 15201) and October 7, 2003 (68 FR 

57824). On September 19, 2008, Virginia 

applied for approval of its RD&D permit 

provisions which are included in the 

Virginia Administrative Code at 9 VAC 

20–80–485D. 

B. Decision 

After a thorough review, U.S. EPA 

Region 3 determined that Virginia’s 

RD&D permit provisions at 9 VAC 20– 

80–485D are adequate to ensure 

compliance with the Federal criteria 

promulgated at 40 CFR 258.4. 

Authority: This action is issued under the 

authority of section 2002, 4005 and 4010(c) 

of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 

42 U.S.C. 6912, 6945 and 6949a. 

Dated: January 28, 2009.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 3.
