WVMA Comments on Boiler Rule MACT

The West Virginia Manufacturers Association filed comments on the EPA's proposed boiler MACT, which can be seen here. The WVMA was lending its voice to the many trade associations and companies that are concerned about EPA's proposal to impose new restrictions on hazardous air pollutants emitted by industrial boilers. Industrial plants have large boilers that are used to heat chemical processes, provide power, and otherwise make products. Such emissions are subject to Maximum Achievable Control Technology, which is a Clean Air Act term that specifies the type of pollution control that is required. More about MACT can be found here.

Thanks to Anne Blankenship, who drafted the letter and forwarded it to me.
