The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to 7 Del. Code Regs. §1101, Definitions and Administrative Principles; and 7 Del. Code Regs. §1146, Electric Generating Unit Multi-Pollutant Regulation. The proposed amendments to Regulation 1101 update the Delaware definition of a volatile organic compound (VOC) to be the same as the federal definition. This allows Delaware users of solvent-containing products to use these VOC-exempt compounds, which may provide desired product properties without contributing to ozone formation. Amendments to Regulation 1146 are intended to modify the sulfur dioxide mass emissions limit associated with Edge Moor Unit 5 from 2427 tons per year to 4600 tons per year, beginning in calendar year 2009. The hearing will be held May 26, 2009. http://regulations.delaware.gov/register/may2009/proposed/12%20DE%20Reg%201392%2005-01-09.htm#P31_1848. and http://regulations.delaware.gov/register/may2009/proposed/12%20DE%20Reg%201395%2005-01-09.htm#P32_2301
