The Acid Deposition Control Act (S. 283) proposal amends the Clean Air Act to reduce the long-range transport and deposition of acid pollutants. The bill addresses both interstate and international environmental pollutants from fossil fuels that threaten public health and requirements for the use of control equipment. Specific requirements are the reduction of sulfur dioxide by 10 million tons over 1980 levels, with each state developing a plan to accomplish its share of the reduction. The Senate version of the bill focuses on stationary pollution sources.
