Fact Sheet (PDF) Draft Rule (PDF)
Concise Summary:
The Department is proposing to amend its Chapter 125 Perchlorethylene Dry Cleaners rule to simplify compliance for the regulated community and improve the rule's enforceability. Some of the provisions in Chapter 125 are no longer relevant (as they pertain to obsolete or outdated equipment that is no longer used by Maine dry cleaners), and other provisions lack the necessary specificity to be enforceable. These amendments will be submitted to EPA for approval in Maine's equivalency demonstration for 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart M.
