SWANA Supports Revisions to EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule
The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) has informed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it supports several proposed changes to the federal mandatory greenhouse gas reporting rule.

SWANA supports a proposed change that would allow waste-to-energy facilities processing no more than 600 tons of material a day to use the Tier 2 reporting method. The organization also endorses removing municipal solid waste (MSW) from the rule’s definition of fossil fuel.
In the letter, SWANA also outlines its opposition to some of the proposed changes, such as one that would require waste-to-energy facilities to report aggregate carbon dioxide emissions instead of separating biogenic and anthropogenic emissions.
