    WITHDRAWAL OF
    PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

    DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY


    [ Filed September 17, 2010, 10:57 a.m. ]

         The department of ecology withdraws the following CR-101 preproposal statement of inquiry: Chapter 173-400 WAC, General regulation for air pollution sources and chapter 173-406 WAC, Acid rain regulation/electric generating unit rule, WSR 07-07-128, filed on March 21, 2007.

         The department of ecology does not currently plan to file another CR-101 that references requirements for mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants into chapter 173-406 WAC, WAC 173-400-112 and 173-400-113.

         However, the department of ecology is still developing changes to chapter 173-400 WAC, General regulation for air pollution sources for WSR 10-15-077 filed on July 19, 2010. This rule making has three focal points:


    ? Development of nonattainment area new source review (NSR) rules.
    ? Correcting state implementation plan deficiencies.
    ? General housekeeping issues.

         You can find more information regarding the ongoing rule making at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/laws-rules/wac173400/0901.html.
