The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has reinstated the original compliance date for the boiler maximum achievable control technology (MACT) and solid-waste incinerator rules that the Environmental Protection Agency published in March 2011.
In May, EPA had asked for a stay of the rules to give the agency more time to incorporate information from industry that it had not been able to include in the March 2011 rules. EPA issued a revised proposal in December 2011.
