SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the municipal solid waste landfill 
111(d) plan submitted by the West Virginia Division of Environmental 
Protection (DEP), on May 29, 1998, and as amended on May 15, and 
December 20, 2000, for the purpose of controlling landfill gas 
emissions from existing municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Also, 
EPA proposes to delegate its authority to the DEP for the enforcement 
of the Federal landfill 111(d) plan's compliance schedules. In the 
final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is approving the plan. 
A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final

receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be 
withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.
