New Hampshire; Final Adequacy

Determination of State/Tribal Municipal

Solid Waste Permit Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Final Determination of

Full Program Adequacy for the State of

New Hampshire’s Municipal Solid

Waste Landfill Permitting Program.

SUMMARY: Section 4005(c)(1)(B) of the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA), as amended by the

Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, 42 USC

6945(c)(1)(B), requires states to develop

and implement permit programs to

ensure that municipal solid waste

landfills (MSWLFs), which may receive

hazardous household waste or small

quantity generator hazardous waste, will

comply with the revised Federal

MSWLF Criteria (40 CFR Part 258).

RCRA Section 4005(c)(1)(C), 42 USC

§ 6945(c)(1)(C), requires the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

to determine whether states have

adequate ‘‘permit’’ programs for

MSWLFs, but does not mandate

issuance of a rule for such

determinations. EPA has drafted and is

in the process of proposing a State/

Tribal Implementation Rule (STIR) that

will provide procedures by which EPA

will approve, or partially approve,

State/Tribal landfill permit programs.

The Agency intends to approve

adequate State/Tribal MSWLF permit

programs as applications are submitted.

Thus, these approvals are not dependent

on final promulgation of the STIR. Prior

to promulgation of the STIR, adequacy

determinations will be made based on

the statutory authorities and

requirements. In addition, States/Tribes

may use the draft STIR as an aid in

interpreting these requirements. The

Agency believes that early approvals

have an important benefit. Approved

State/Tribal permit programs provide

for interaction between the State/Tribe

and the owner/operator regarding sitespecific permit conditions. Only those

owners/operators located in State/Tribes

with approved permit programs can use

the site-specific flexibilities provided by

40 CFR part 258 to the extent the State/

Tribal permit program allows such

flexibility. EPA notes that regardless of

the approval status of a State/Tribe and

the permit status of any facility, the

federal landfill criteria shall apply to all

permitted and unpermitted MSWLF

facilities.

The State of New Hampshire applied

for a determination of adequacy under

Section 4005(c)(1)(C) of RCRA, 42 USC

§ 6945(c)(1)(C). EPA Region I reviewed

New Hampshire’s MSWLF permit

program adequacy application and

made a determination that all portions

of New Hampshire’s MSWLF permit

program are adequate to assure

compliance with the revised Federal

MSWLF Criteria. After consideration of

all comments received, EPA is today

issuing a final determination that the

State’s program is adequate.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The determination of

adequacy for the State of New

Hampshire shall be effective on

February 14, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

On October 9, 1991, EPA promulgated

revised criteria for MSWLFs (40 CFR

part 258). Subtitle D of RCRA, as

amended by the Hazardous and Solid

Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA),

requires states to develop permitting

programs to ensure that MSWLFs

comply with the Federal Criteria under

40 CFR part 258. Subtitle D also requires

in Section 4005(c)(1)(C), 42 USC

§ 6945(c)(1)(C), that EPA determine the

adequacy of state municipal solid waste

landfill permit programs to ensure that

facilities comply with the revised

Federal Criteria. To fulfill this

requirement, the Agency has drafted

and is in the process of proposing a

State/Tribal Implementation Rule

(STIR). The rule will specify the

requirements which State/Tribal

programs must satisfy to be determined

adequate.

EPA intends to approve State/Tribal

MSWLF permit programs prior to the

promulgation of the STIR. EPA

interprets the requirements for states or

tribes to develop ‘‘adequate’’ programs

for permits, or other forms of prior

approval and conditions (for example,

license to operate) to impose several

minimum requirements. First, each

State/Tribe must have enforceable
