RCRA Resources

RCRA is… a lot. Here are some resources that we find useful as we work through RCRA issues. We also attened McCoy’s RCRA Hazardous Waste training virtually this year. That is a highly recommended class for anyone that is dealing with RCRA on a regular basis.

Updates

Ozone – NWI

This did not play out how we expected in early 2020. On June 18 and 19 the Northbrook monitor exceeded the 2008 Ozone standard. In December IDEM applied for an “Exceptional Event” demonstration for those days resulting from air from wildfires moving into the region. This is in an effort to avoid Severe classifcation. Public comment ended January 18 and we are awaiting EPA’s decision, which is expected by March.

If IDEM is unsuccessful Lake and Porter counties may be subject to a 25 ton VOC limit.

Rule 6 to MSGP

IDEM is considering modifying the existing General Rule 6 Permit to the EPA MSGP program that is used by states such as Ohio and Michigan.
