The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established thresholds for greenhouse gas emissions in June 2010 that Ecology implemented through amendments to Chapter 173-400 WAC, General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources and Chapter 173-401 WAC, Operating Permit Regulation. The EPA is working on amendments that will defer greenhouse gas permitting requirements for carbon dioxide emissions from biomass-fired and other biogenic sources. The state rules need to be revised to assure the consistency of the provisions between the federal and state Clean Air Acts.
