Streszczenie

EPA is issuing notice of receipt of, and opportunity to comment on, a plan by Fiberight of Blairstown LLC to remove recyclables from municipal solid waste (MSW) prior to its use as a feedstock for renewable fuel production at their biorefinery in Blairstown, Iowa. Submission of a separation plan is a registration requirement under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program regulations established under Clean Air Act section 211(o) for producers seeking to make qualifying renewable fuel from MSW-derived feedstock. The separation plan must demonstrate ongoing verification that there is separation of recyclable paper, cardboard, plastics, rubber, textiles, metals, and glass wastes to the extent reasonably practicable. MSW-derived feedstock collected according to a separation plan approved by EPA may qualify as "separated MSW" in biofuel production pathways authorized for generation of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard Program.
