On February 21, 2011, in response to a court order, EPA issued four related rules to control hazardous air pollutants from new and existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters and from commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators. The four rules are: the Boiler MACT, Area Source Boiler rule, Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (CISWI), and the Solid Waste rule.
