EPA Amends National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Phosphoric Acid and Phosphate Fertilizers Plants

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for phosphoric acid manufacturing plants and phosphate fertilizers production plants, which were originally set in 1999 under the Clean Air Act. The changes aim to address concerns raised after the initial rules were implemented, without significantly altering the expected environmental benefits or compliance costs.
