EPA Proposes Amendments to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Publicly Owned Treatment Works

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) to address the results of a review of residual risk and technology, as mandated by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed rule aims to reduce emissions from collection systems and treatment plants, and includes new requirements for electronic reporting and revised applicability criteria.
