Statutory authority: RSA 125-C:4, I(a)
PART Env-A 4301
PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
Env-A
4301.01 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish operating
and performance standards for existing solid waste incineration units with the
capacity to combust less than 35 tons per day of solid waste, referred to by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) as Other Solid Waste
Incineration (OSWI) units. This rule is
required by 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFFF.
