The National Acid Deposition Control Act of 1985 (H.R. 1030) amends the Clean Air Act by making stricter emission levels of sulfur dioxide (SO/sub 2/) and nitrogen oxides (NO/sub x/). The bill is intended to reduce the threat of acid rain by reducing the SO/sub 2/ emissions from power plants by 12 million tons in 10 years. The bill outlines those activities exempt from the regulation, and specifies that the Federal Register will publish a list of 50 plants that must comply. The bill also outlines details for compliance with state environmental plans and for financial assistance to mitigate the costs of compliance.
