Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–June 1, 2012. Yesterday the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency exempted dozens of coal plants from cleanup requirements when the agency authorized using the Cross State Air Pollution Rule to waive haze pollution cleanup requirements. Instead of mandating outdated coal plants to install the “best available retrofit technology” (BART) to curb haze pollution, the rule will allow many old plants to avoid full cleanup.
