Proposed Effluent Guidelines Lay Out Options for New, Existing Power Plants

摘要

The Environmental Protection Agency has laid out a series of regulatory options that power plants fired by fossil fuels and nuclear energy could use to comply with proposed effluent guidelines in a move the agency said reflects the growing problem of power plant discharges. For existing power plants, EPA is proposing four preferred options, and it has identified a single option for controlling discharges from new power plants. The agency also is seeking comment on other options for both existing and new plants.
