Due to a lapse in appropriations, EPA websites will not be regularly updated. In the event of an environmental emergency imminently threatening the safety of human life or where necessary to protect certain property, the EPA website will be updated with appropriate information. Please note that all information on the EPA website may not be up to date, and transactions and inquiries submitted to the EPA website may not be processed or responded to until appropriations are enacted.

We've made some changes to EPA.gov. If the information you are looking for is not here, you may be able to find it on the EPA Web Archive or the January 19, 2017 Web Snapshot.

Small Entity Compliance Guide for Residential Wood Heaters

To assist small business owners who manufacture and distribute new residential woodstoves, pellet stoves, hydronic heaters and wood-fired forced air furnaces, EPA developed the Small Entity Compliance Guide for "Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced Air Furnaces" that outlines compliance responsibilities under the new source performance standards (NSPS) for residential wood heaters.

You may need a PDF reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA’s About PDF page to learn more.
