Environment - Proposed wood-fired boiler rule is preliminarily adopted by APCB
Here is a list of five years of ILB entries on the topic of wood fired boilers and their regulation.
Here is the agenda from yesterday's meeting of the APCB. Item #8 is the proposed Outdoor Hydronic Heater Rule - LSA#05-332. Here is the Fact Sheet and here is the Draft Rule.
Niki Kelly of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette reports today on the Air Board's preliminary adoption of the proposal yesterday.
Gitte Laasby of the Gary Post Tribune reports:
Another public comment period will be necessary before officials can adopt rules for use of outdoor wood-fired boilers. That means Indiana's first state-wide rules may not be adopted until February.The Indiana Air Pollution Control Board voted unanimously Wednesday to preliminarily adopt Indiana's first state-wide rules. But so many changes have been made since the last draft that a new comment period will be needed. * * *
The rulemaking has been underway since 2005. IDEM spokeswoman Amy Hartsock said a third [written] public comment period is tentatively scheduled for October. She said a public hearing followed by another vote of the Air Pollution Control Board [i.e. "final adoption"] could happen in February 2011.
