Environmental Quality Board To Hear Update On Climate Cap-And-Trade, PFOA Petitions + 2 New Rulemaking Petitions June 18

The Environmental Quality Board is scheduled to meet on June 18 to hear an update on its review of the climate cap-and-trade and PFOA rulemaking petitions.
The EQB accepted the climate cap-and-trade petition for study on April 16.  It calls for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from major sources by 2052 in Pennsylvania.
The EQB accepted the PFOA rulemaking petition for study on August 15, 2017.  It calls for the Board to adopt a maximum contaminant level for perfluorooctanoic chemicals in the Delaware River.
On the agenda are 2 new rulemaking petitions dealing with the MAX Environmental Bulger Facility in Washington County which accepts drill cuttings, contaminated soils from remediation sites, air pollution control dusts, sludges and other wastes and the MAX Environmental Yukon Facility in Westmoreland County that treats and disposes of residual waste from energy, construction, remediation and manufacturing processes.
The company is requesting the hazardous waste delisting of sludge generated from the treatment of disposal impoundment and landfill leachate and contact stormwater at the Yukon and Bulger waste treatment and disposal sites.
Also on the agenda are--
-- Radiation Protection Program Fee Report: No fee increase is being recommended at this time.
-- Proposed Regulation on Water Supply Replacement for Surface Coal Mining
The meeting will be held in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson Building starting at 9:00. There are no web or telephone options for joining the meeting.
