Two air quality public hearings are scheduled for April 28, 2017 at
9:30 a.m. in Room 307 of the State Capitol Building, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail,
Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501. The first hearing will consider proposed incorporation by reference of
federal NSPS, NESHAP, and MACT rules. The second will consider a proposal to adopt a state plan to implement the
emission guidelines for existing solid waste municipal landfills (MSWLs). This proposed state plan includes proposed amendments to 20.2.64 NMAC (Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills).
NSPS, NESHAP, and MACT Updates
In order to keep current with federal rulemakings, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) periodically requests that the Environmental Improvement
Board approve amendments to the air quality rules (20.2.77, 20.2.78 and 20.2.82 NMAC) by updating
the “through date” (or date of incorporation) into the New Mexico
Administrative Code. The last update for Parts 77, 78 and 82 was September 15,
2015. Since the most recent date of incorporation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made 28 changes
to various federal standards. Approval of incorporation by reference will
change the “through date” in Parts 77, 78 and 82 to incorporate into the NMAC
the changes made at the federal level through January 15, 2017.
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills Emission Guidelines
The EPA's July 2016 promulgation of emission guidelines for existing
MSWLs requires states, tribes and local authorities with jurisdiction over
existing landfills to develop a plan to implement this rule, under Section
111(d) of the Clean Air Act. The state plan must include, among other elements,
a demonstration of authority to implement the emission guidelines; a list of
existing open and closed facilities; an emissions inventory for active MSWLs;
and a federally enforceable mechanism to implement the emission guidelines (for
New Mexico, amendments to 20.2.64 NMAC (Municipal Solid Waste Landfills)).
Additional Information
Public notices and other available
documents for both proposed changes are available on the NMED Air Quality Bureau website
proposed regulations page: https://www.env.nm.gov/air-quality/proposed-regs/.
