Pollution Controls Set For New Plants Across Industries
The EPA announces new air pollution standards for all new plants in five major industries, including fossil fueled steam plants, large solid waste incinerators, Portland cement, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid plants. Ruckelshaus says 35 to 40 industries will be phased in over years, with state controls on existing plants. Costs rise modestly, about 1 to 9 percent, adding roughly $1 yearly to the typical electric bill.
