Power Plant Work Group
Charter
The Power Plant Work Group is charged with analyzing emissions mitigation
strategies that can be achieved by power plants, both existing and
proposed. For each mitigation strategy, the work group will document, to
the extent possible given the group’s timeframe and resources, the
following: Description of the Strategy, Implementation, and Feasibility.
Call/Meeting Schedule
The next Power Plants Work Group Call is to be determined soon.
Coordinator

EPA’s Clean Air Market Programs – Acid Rain Program [SO2,
NOx]
The
overall goal of the Acid Rain Program is to achieve significant
environmental and public health benefits through reductions in emissions
of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the primary causes of
acid rain. To
achieve this goal at the lowest cost to society, the program employs
both traditional and innovative, market-based approaches for controlling
air pollution. In addition, the program encourages energy efficiency and
pollution prevention. US EPA Clean Air Markets Data and Maps can be

The Mountain Studies Institute (www.mountainstudies.org),
a non-profit research an education organization with offices in both
Durango and Silverton, Colorado, was awarded a grant from the EPA to
study mercury deposition in the San Juan Mountains and to provide air
quality information to the public. The project begins in 2007 and a
webpage is in preparation. The original proposal can be viewed at:

Clean Air Act Advisory Committee – Advanced Coal Technology Work Group
- On September 14, 2006, the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee
recommended the formation of the Advanced Coal Technology Work
Group. The Work Group will discuss and identify the potential
barriers and potential opportunities to create incentives under the
Clean Air Act to the development and deployment of advanced coal
technologies.
