The permit would set air emission standards for equipment leaks, tanks and containers at the Ohio Reclamation site.1 U.S. EPA is acting on the hazardous waste permit application under its responsibilities set out in the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Background Ohio Reclamation and Waste Services operates a hazardous waste storage and treatment facility located at 7013 Krick Road, Bedford, Ohio. The facility receives liquid hazardous waste for treatment and storage in a series of storage and treatment tanks and containers. State permit In 2006, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency issued the state- portion of the RCRA permit. That portion contains rules for tank and container storage and treatment, corrective actions, post closure care, and groundwater monitoring. The Ohio permit expired on Dec. 28, 2016. That permit has been administratively continued. If issued, the proposed federal portion of the RCRA permit will expire in January 2029. Tentative decision U.S. EPA has concluded the company has fulfilled all application requirements and proposes to issue a RCRA permit to Ohio Reclamation pending public comments. Currently, the state of Ohio is not authorized by U.S. EPA to issue a permit for organic air emissions under the federal regulations for hazardous waste units.2 Therefore, U.S. EPA has drafted a federal RCRA permit to address organic air emissions from hazardous waste units at Ohio Reclamation. After the close of the public comment period, U.S. EPA will review all comments received and decide whether to issue the federal RCRA permit. The final decision will include notification to those who submitted written comments during the official comment period. The federal Agency will also prepare and send to all responders a document answering significant comments. Within 30 days of a final decision, any person who submitted written comments or made a statement at the hearing if one is held may petition U.S. EPA's Environmental Appeals Board to review the decision. 1 EPA is proposing to issue the Ohio Reclamation permit under the authority' of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of1984 and subject to public notice and comment under the provisions of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Section 124.10 and 240 C.F.R. Part 264, Subparts BB and CC. See http://www. eva. eov/lawsrees/index. html to read RCRA and RCRA regulations ------- |
