Implementation of the Acid Precipitation Act of 1980. Hearing before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, Ninety-Eighth Congress, Second Session, April 30, 1984
The Acid Precipitation Act of 1980 recognized the potential danger of acid deposition by establishing a 10-year research program. Hearings to assess the progress in implementing the Act reviewed the administration's argument for further research as opposed to those who feel immediate steps are in order. Relevant issues were the impact of the stringent air pollution control on the economy and employment. The 26 witnesses included Energy Secretary Hodel, Environmental Protection Agency Director Ruckelshaus, and representatives of environmental groups, electric utilities, the coal industry, and universities. Eight appendices with additional material submitted for the record follow their testimony.
