Maryland trash incinerator rules get two more weeks of public comment
What happened
US environmental regulators pushed back the deadline for public comments on proposed rules for Maryland trash incinerators. This gives the public two more weeks to submit opinions on how to control pollution from these facilities.
Why it matters
This document changes nothing about the actual rules for trash incinerators. It only gives the public a few extra days to weigh in on a proposal. The real decisions about pollution control are still far off.
The signal
Watch for the actual proposed rule to be finalized, which will set new pollution standards for Maryland's trash incinerators.
