Clean Air: EPA Issues Follow-up to 2007 Refineries Rule
The Environmental Protection Agency has offered new options for controlling toxic air pollution from petroleum refineries. EPA estimates that its supplemental proposed rule, announced on Oct. 30, will cut 2,250 tons of such emissions a year.
The supplemental notice follows a proposal that EPA issued In August 2007, which would amend 1995 air-toxics standards at refineries in accordance with Clean Air Act provisions for residual risk and an eight-year technology review.
