EPA To Hold Public Meeting on Effluent Guidelines for the Metal Products and Machinery Industry

EPA will hold a public meeting to inform all interested parties on the status of the Metal Products & Machinery (MP&M) effluent guidelines and to summarize the upcoming Notice of Data Availability on June 7 in Chicago.

The meeting will cover the status of the rule; new information available for comment; revised economic and engineering methodologies used for estimating costs, pollutant loads, benefits, and economic impacts; revised limitations and standards; compliance alternatives; and specific areas where EPA seeks more comment. EPA intends to publish the final rule in December.
