New Industrial Boiler Standard Proposed
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) proposes to replace the
existing permitting procedure for new boilers having an energy input capacity between 10
and 40 million Btu per hour with process-specific performance standards and compliance
certifications, under the Environmental Results Program. The purpose is to simplify and
clarify the regulatory process, thus reducing the cost and time required to comply, while
maintaining effective standards and improving environmental results. The proposed standards
require the use of clean fuels, set emissions limits, and specify operational and record
keeping requirements.
