SUMMARY: This action proposes to reestablish emission guidelines for existing small municipal

waste combustion (MWC) units. When implemented, these emission guidelines will result in stringent

emission limits for organics (dioxins/furans), metals

(cadmium, lead, mercury, and particulate matter), and acid gases (hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide,

and nitrogen oxides). Emission guidelines for small MWC units were originally promulgated in

December 1995 but were vacated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

in March 1997.
