Summary of Proposal:
The amendments would allow operators of on-farm anaerobic digestion facilities regulated under the NMA to increase the percentage of off-farm materials that they can use from 25 percent to 50 percent rather than having to obtain an REA or ECA. The amendments also set out enhanced environmental requirements to ensure facilities are properly managed.
