American Wood council president Robert Clowinski has issued the following statement on legislation introduced in the US Senate to provide for achievable Boiler MACT rules.
“The bill will provide EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] with the time they need to make necessary improvements to the Boiler MACT rules. EPA has indicated that they were not satisfied with the rule as published and although we believe that progress has been made toward a reasonable set of rules, our industry continues to have issues with certain aspects of what is currently proposed. Legislation is the path by which those changes can be made.”
