EPA Issues Categorical Exclusion for Wastewater Treatment Plant Boiler Replacement in Corning, NY
The EPA issued a Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) for a wastewater treatment plant boiler replacement project in the City of Corning, New York. This action, part of a community grant, allows the project to proceed by confirming it meets environmental review requirements.
The project is funded through an EPA community grant designed to support local infrastructure improvements. By replacing aging boiler equipment, the facility expects to improve energy efficiency and operational reliability.
Categorical exclusions are used for projects that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This administrative step is a standard part of the federal grant process for municipal utility upgrades.
