Notice of Proposed Revised 6 NYCRR Part 360, Solid Waste Management Facilities
Notice is hereby given that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) is proposing to revise 6 NYCRR Part 360 (Part 360) Solid Waste Management Facilities. The last comprehensive revisions to the regulations governing solid waste management in New York State occurred in 1993. The revisions include technical amendments and clarifications, as well as updated criteria needed due to legal and policy developments. In support of these regulatory changes, a Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (Draft GEIS) has been prepared. The Notice of Proposed Rule Making is available in the March 16, 2016 issue of the State Register. Written public comments will be accepted by NYS DEC through July 15, 2016.
This rule making will amend the existing regulations for solid waste management facilities that are currently found in Part 360. A component of this proposed rulemaking is to subdivide the solid waste management facility regulations into groups that are similar in nature, such as facilities that recycle and recover materials. Therefore, the current Part 360 criteria will be found in Parts 360, 361, 362, 363, 365, and 366. In addition to the solid waste management facilities and activities currently regulated under Part 360, this proposed rulemaking includes revisions to regulations governing waste transportation (Part 364) and state assistance grants to municipalities related to solid waste management (Part 369). This rulemaking will also incorporate minor amendments to Parts 621 and Parts 370-374.
Availability of documents for review: Information concerning the review process, the proposed amendments to Part 360, and supporting rule making documents are available on NYS DEC's web site at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/regulations/81768.html. These documents may also be inspected at NYS DEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233. Please call Melissa Treers for an appointment at (518) 402-8678.
Public hearings: Legislative public hearings to receive public comments on the amendments to Part 360 and the DGEIS will be held as follows:
These hearing locations are accessible to persons with impaired mobility. Interpreter services will be made available to deaf persons, at no charge, upon written request at least five business days prior to the date of the hearing.

Draft Amendment No. 1 to the FFY 2016 CWSRF Intended Use Plan - Revisions To The Annual CWSRF Project Priority List, GIGP Projects, Smart Growth Review, Modification of the Sources and Uses, Addition of Target Service Charge Formula, and Funding of Stormwater Projects
The New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYS EFC) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) announce that the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 Intended Use Plan (IUP) for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), dated November 2015, is being amended.
NYS EFC is seeking comment on the 2016 CWSRF IUP Amendment No. 1.
This draft amendment to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Intended Use Plan (IUP) for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 includes addresses six topics:
Revisions to the FFY 2016 Annual Project Priority List.
Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP) Round 7 projects.
Smart Growth review of projects added to the Final 2016 Annual List.
Modification of Sources and Uses.
Modification to Section 4.4.5 to add Target Service Charge formula.
Funding of stormwater projects.
Written comments on Amendment No. 1 to the CWSRF IUP will be accepted by mail, e-mail, or fax until close of business, April 1, 2016.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) hereby gives notice of the following:
On December 23, 2015, NYS DEC proposed 6 NYCRR Part 222, "Distributed Generation Sources," for public review and comment. The comment period closed at 5:00 p.m. on February 18, 2016.
In order to comply with the proposed regulatory obligation to provide 60 days notice prior to stack testing on or before April 30, 2016 (Section 222.6), affected source owners would have needed to notify NYS DEC in writing no later than March 2, 2016 of their intent to conduct a stack test. However, NYS DEC was not able to complete the requirements of the State Administrative Procedures Act (SAPA) for adopting Part 222 prior to March 2, 2016, therefore creating the possibility for regulatory confusion. Other proposed deadlines fall on April 1, 2016 and May 1, 2016.
Because it will take several weeks to complete the regulatory process, NYS DEC understands that affected parties will not be in a position to meet the initial compliance dates in the proposal. In addition, it may cause regulatory uncertainty for those parties planning to enroll in demand response programs if the rule becomes effective during the Summer 2016 Capability Period. Therefore, affected parties participating in demand response programs may anticipate that the regulation will not be applicable to participants in demand response programs until after the Summer 2016 Capability Period.
Nothing herein should be construed as altering any terms of the proposed regulation, including any deadlines subsequent to May 1, 2016. NYS DEC is evaluating the comments that have been submitted and will take further action on the proposal when that process is completed.
