How will the volume of corn ethanol produced above the grandfathering threshold be treated?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . For grandfathered facilities, only the baseline volumes are exempt from the 20 percent GHG reduction requirement Thus, RINs may be generated for baseline volumes of fuel regardless of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions performance. Volumes of fuel produced above…

Do grandfathered facilities have an additional 6 months to submit their engineering reviews to EPA?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . Yes. In the preamble to the final RFS2 regulations at 75 Fed. Regs. 14709 (March 26, 2010), EPA stated that, in an effort to reduce demand on engineering resources in the interim between promulgation of the rule and…

How long will the grandfathering provision be effective? Once a grandfathered producer registers and completes their engineering review, will their baseline volume ever need to meet the 20% GHG reduction requirement?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . If a facility meets the requirements for exemption from the 20% GHG reduction requirement pursuant to 40 CFR 80.1403(c ) or (d), then the baseline volume of renewable fuel produced by that facility is exempt from the 20%…

Will returning the natural flow of water to Sulphur Run disturb areas with sheen?
Conditions in the streams are much improved because of previous cleanup work conducted in 2023. Although oily sheens remain, they are settled in the sediment and do not impact surface water unless disturbed. The increased water flow to Sulphur Run will be minimal and is not expected to disturb sheen…

How does a foreign grandfathered renewable fuel production facility processing a mixture of feedstocks with different D codes or no D codes classify its production into D code categories so RINs can be generated when the product is imported into the U.S.?
See More Frequent Questions about Fuels Registration, Reporting, and Compliance Help . If the importer is generating the RINs, the importer must obtain all the required information for registration from the foreign producer of the renewable fuel pursuant to 80.1426(a)(2) and 80.1450. In the case of a foreign producer using…

What is the status of the cleanup at the site?
In October 2023, it was announced that the excavation work, which removed the known areas of contaminated soil at the derailment site, was complete. The soil double-check work has been ongoing for months and is expected to continue into the fall. The timeline of our expected completion plans for final…

When can we access the streams again?
The upcoming cleanup efforts will focus on oil-based compounds which, based on recent sampling, are the only derailment-related contaminants remaining in the creeks. Please obey all posted signage and continue to avoid access in Sulphur and Leslie Runs until further notice.

What has changed?
For the past several months as the collected wastewater has gone through the system, sample results have shown that the wastewater meets the standards set for vinyl chloride and other derailment-caused contaminants without treatment, meaning it can be disposed of as non-hazardous waste. Testing of the collected wastewater will continue…

Why collect the rainwater and snowmelt around the derailment site?
Until excavation work and confirmatory sampling are completed, any wastewater collected from the derailment site is considered a “listed hazardous waste” because it may have come into contact with vinyl chloride or other hazardous contaminants from the derailment. Even though the soil contamination has been removed, our double-check work is…
