Industry Struggles To Win EPA Support For More Flexible Cooling Water Rule

摘要

EPA is raising a series of legal and other questions over a plan from several major electric utilities to ease compliance with the agency's proposed cooling water intake rule, prompting the utilities to consider whether to continue discussions with the agency over ways to fix it, an industry source says. The source, who met with agency officials on the plan July 26, says officials had a "constructive dialogue" with EPA at the meeting but that there were "no promises made, no breakthroughs" to emerge.
