How are sites removed from the WERR?
Sites or sources are removed from the WERR after a project achieves successful recovery of waste energy. EPA is proposing that for sites or sources listed in the Registry, if a waste energy project becomes commercially operational, the site must notify EPA within 90 days for removal from the Registry. If a site or source on the Registry chooses to no longer be listed in the Registry, the site can notify EPA with a request for removal. In both of the above scenarios, EPA will remove the source from the Registry within 30 days of notification. No sites will be removed from the Registry if it has submitted an EPCA Section 374 petition and the petition has not been acted on or denied.
