Book ·
OSTI ID:6731996
The National Acid Deposition Control and Cost Sharing Act of 1984 (H.R. 5794) amends the Clean Air Act to control long-range pollution transport. The bill requires existing electric power plants to reduce their sulfur dioxide emissions and for states to achieve a specified level of emission reduction. Polluters must submit a plan for state approval which meets federal standards. The legislation recognizes the opportunity for innovative strategies and the introduction of new emission control technologies. It also establishes a trust fund, the Acid Deposition Control Trust Fund, based on a fee schedule for electric utilities. Title II deals with the control of nitrogen oxide emissions, the revision of standards and emissions from mobile sources.
