The EPA is proposing to consolidate and update rules for air curtain incinerators that burn wood waste and clean lumber, and also create new provisions for temporary incinerators used in disaster recovery. The proposal would streamline existing regulations scattered across multiple rule sections into one unified standard. This affects waste management companies, disaster recovery contractors, and municipalities that use open-air burning. It could make it easier to set up temporary incinerators after natural disasters while maintaining air quality standards.
