The Department is also proposing related amendments at N.J.A.C. 7:27A-3.10, Air Administrative Procedures and Penalties. These new rules and amendments would establish new requirements for municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators, hospital\/medical\/infectious waste (HMIW) incinerators, iron and steel melters, and coal-fired boilers, in order to prevent or decrease emissions of mercury from these operations by requiring MSW incinerators to further reduce their mercury emissions, by ensuring that the mercury emissions from HMIW incinerators will be maintained at low levels, and by requiring the mercury emissions from iron and steel melters and coal-fired boilers to be reduced. An additional reduction of about 1,500 pounds mercury per year would be accomplished. The reductions would be in addition to the approximately 4,000 pounds per year mercury emission reductions that were achieved with the adoption of the first mercury rule on November 7, 1994.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal is scheduled to be published in the New Jersey Register dated January 5, 2004.
