Regulatory Reinvention (XL) Pilot Projects

EPA is today requesting comment on a proposed Project XL Final Project Agreement (FPA) for Weyerhaeuser Company's Flint River Kraft pulp mill in Ogelthorpe, Georgia. The FPA is a voluntary agreement developed collaboratively by Weyerhaeuser Flint River, local community members, and state, local, and federal regulators. Project XL, announced in the Federal Register on May 23, 1995 at 60 FR 27282 (FRL- 5197-9), gives regulated sources the flexibility to develop alternative strategies that will replace or modify specific regulatory requirements on the condition that they produce greater environmental benefits. EPA has set a goal of implementing a total of fifty projects undertaken in full partnership with the states.
