DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

[25 PA. CODE CH. 245]

Corrective Amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 245.1

[32 Pa.B. 5883]

   The Department of Environmental Protection has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code § 245.1 (relating to definitions), as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau and the official text published at 31 Pa.B. 6615, 6626 (December 1, 2001), and the text published in the February 2002 Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 327), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. Subparagraph (iv) should have been deleted.

   Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department of Environmental Protection has deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 245.1. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 245.1 is effective as of February 2, 2002, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The correct version of 25 Pa. Code § 245.1 appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation.
