The original proposal had required boilers in use by Sept. 1,  2005, be replaced or removed by Aug. 31, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal also  required boilers in use between Sept. 1, 2005, and April 14, 2011, be  replaced or removed within 10 years of operation. That also has been  eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is very much a victory for us,&#8221; said Kenneth L.  Decker, owner of Decker Heating &amp; Construction, Harrisville.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all  have to bend a little, and I think if DEC would have come out with  regulations like this last spring, instead of trying to infringe on  people&#8217;s rights, these regulations would have flown through.
