EPA to give mercury, air toxics standards a second look
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it is reviewing technical information that is focused on pollution limits for new power plants under the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, based on new information provided by industry stakeholders after the rule was finalized.
The EPA calls the review, known as a “reconsideration,” a common step for major standards and says it will have no impact on the standards already set for existing power plants.
