Why hasn’t the Norwood Landfill Site been identified as a Superfund Site? Two nearby landfills, Folcroft and Clearview, which were established and in use at the same time as Norwood Landfill and Dump have both been designated as Superfund sites.
EPA is still conducting its investigation of the Norwood Landfill Site to determine if it should be placed on the National Priorities List (NPL), or Superfund List. Thus far, the data collected has not demonstrated that the site warrants placement on the NPL. Both the Folcroft and Clearview Landfills went…

The regulations at 80.1427(a)(7)(iii) say that 2008 biodiesel RINS + 2009 biodiesel RINs cannot exceed 20% of the 2010 RVO. Does this mean that 80% of the 2010 biomass-based diesel RVO has to come from 2010 RINs?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The 20% rollover cap under RFS2 is the same as the rollover cap under the RFS1 program. However, the rollover cap only places a limit on previous year RINs that were NOT used for compliance in 2008 or…

Under section 80.1405, the standard for biomass based diesel (BBD) is calculated via a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the RFV for BBD in compliance year i times 1.5. For 2010 only, would you agree that, using the example of the calculation f
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . The percentage standard for biomass-based diesel in years 2011 and beyond will be based upon the volumes specified in CAA 211(o)(2)(B)(i)(IV), unless some portion of that volume is waived per CAA 211(o)(7)(E). For 2010, the numerator of the…
