The Environmental Quality Board will hold a virtual meeting on June 16 to consider a recommendation from DEP to delist leachate as hazardous waste from two waste treatment facilities made as a result of a rulemaking petition submitted by MAX Environmental.
The facilities are the Bulger Facility in Washington County [petition] which accepts drill cuttings, contaminated soils from remediation sites, air pollution control dusts, sludges and other wastes and the Yukon Facility in Westmoreland County [petition] that treats and disposes of residual waste from energy, construction, remediation and manufacturing processes.
DEP evaluations for the Bulger Facility [evaluation] and the Yukon Facility [evaluation] found the waste from the treatment facilities no longer meets the requirements as a hazardous waste.
The meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. Instructions for joining the meeting are posted at the EQB meeting webpage.
For more information and available handouts, visit the Environmental Quality Board meeting. Questions should be directed to Laura Edinger by calling 717-772-3277 or sending an email to: ledinger@pa.gov.
