Environmental Quality Board—Outdoor Wood-Fired Boilers; Regulation No. 7-444 (#2802)

 On October 6, 2009, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Environmental Quality Board (Board). This rulemaking amends 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 and 123. The proposed regulation was published in the October 17, 2009 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 79-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on July 16, 2010.

 This final-form rulemaking establishes particulate matter emission standards, setback, stack height, and allowable fuel requirements for installed outdoor wood-fired boilers (OWBs). It provides exemptions for existing OWBs, OWBs shipped and used outside of the Commonwealth, and existing inventory sold or received before June 1, 2011.

 We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (35 P. S. §§ 4004.2 and 4005(a)(1)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

 This regulation is approved.

ARTHUR COCCODRILLI, 
Chairperson
