Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA establishes national ambient air quality standards for six pollutants that states are primarily responsible for attaining. States attain these standards, in part, by regulating emissions of these pollutants from certain stationary sources, such as electricity generating units. Numerous Clean Air Act requirements apply to electricity generating units, incl. New Source Review (NSR), a permitting process established in 1977. This report discusses electricity generation and emissions at U.S. electricity generating units and the implementation of NSR. The report provides info. on how older fossil fuel electricity generating units compare with newer units in terms of their air emissions and electricity generation. Illus. This is a print on demand report.
