Economic Impact Analysis for the Final Primary Copper Smelting NESHAP.

摘要

Pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) to control emissions released from the primary copper smelting operations. The Innovative Strategies and Economics Group (ISEG) of the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has developed this economic impact analysis (EIA) to support the evaluation of impacts associated with the regulatory options considered for this NESHAP. By controlling emissions of HAPs from primary copper smelting, EPA is protecting and enhancing the quality of the nation's air resources, as stated in Section 101 (b) of the Clean Air Act.
