EPA Corrects NESHAP Rule for Hazardous Waste Combustors

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to amend the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for hazardous waste combustors, correcting an error made in the 2005 rule. The amendments, which were intended to take effect in 2008, will now be implemented immediately due to the stringent requirements for Phase I sources.
