Title: Electric Utility Steam Generating Unit MACT Regulation | |
Abstract: In December 2000, the EPA determined that regulation of hazardous air pollutant emissions (HAP) from oil- and coal-fired electric utility steam generating units was necessary and appropriate. This finding was based on the results of the study mandated by section 112(n)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as amended. The regulation(s) will be developed under section 112 and will result in standards based on the use of maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The primary benefit will be the reduction of mercury emissions to the atmosphere from coal-fired units but other HAP will also be reduced. Small businesses and State/local/tribal governments could be impacted (particularly those governments owning or operating oil- or coal-fired electric generation facilities). | |
