Economic Impact Analysis of Proposed Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Electrical and Electronic Components Industry. Phase 2: Cathode Ray and Luminescent Coatings Subcategories

摘要

The study is concerned with two industry subcategories that are part of the electrical and electronic component industry. The two are cathode ray tubes and luminescent coatings. Several wastewater treatment alternatives were developed for the two industry subcategories in response to federal legislation. The 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act (and subsequent litigation) and the Clean Water Act of 1977, require EPA to develop a program and adhere to a schedule in promulgating effluent limitations guidelines, new source performance standards and pretreatment standards for 65 groups of 'priority' pollutants for 21 major industries. This study presents for consideration, the projected economic impacts of complying with proposed regulations as required by the Clean Water Act.
