The Environmental Protection Agency has approved South Carolina’s state plan for controlling air pollution from commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators. This approval makes the state’s rules federally enforceable under the Clean Air Act.
Why it matters: This is an administrative approval that shifts enforcement responsibility to the state while keeping the rules federally enforceable. It does not create new restrictions or change emission limits; it simply formalizes the state’s authority to regulate these specific facilities under federal law.
