Purpose of the meeting As directed by the General Assembly’s 2021 Appropriation Act, Item 376, paragraph C, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has formed a study group to assist the Department in studying the chemical conversion process referred to as Advanced Recycling, which includes the processes of pyrolysis, gasification, depolymerization and other processes which convert certain plastic waste into hydrocarbon raw materials. The department will make recommendations based upon that study as to whether relevant air and water permitting regulations would provide adequate regulation of the industry, or would require revision in order to. ensure that the Commonwealth's air, water, land and other natural resources are fully protected. The purpose of this meeting is to review the information available on advanced recycling processes, other states’ approaches to regulation of those processes, and the operational history and environmental impacts of the industry. This meeting of the study group will be held in person. Please note that seating capacity is limited and available on a first-come first-served basis after seating all of the study group members, alternates, and persons providing technical support to the group; and providing for social distancing where necessary. | |
