New Boiler MACT Rules Proposed

December 08, 2011
Rules proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that could require operators of new and existing boilers burning coal, oil, natural gas, and biomass to install a “maximum achievable control technology (MACT)” and limit air pollutants were revised on Friday to offer more flexibility.

More than 1.5 million boilers are operational in the U.S. Nearly 86% of these would be exempt from the rule because they burn natural gas at area source facilities and emit little pollution. For about 13% of the boilers, the EPA’s standards would “continue to rely on practical, cost-effective work practice standards to reduce emissions,” the agency said. And for the highest emitting 0.4% of all boilers in the U.S., the EPA is proposing more targeted revised emissions limits that will provide “industry practical, protective, cost-effective options to meet the standards.”

Existing boilers would have three years to comply with the standards and could obtain an extra year beyond that, if technology cannot be installed in time. But existing incinerators would need to comply no later than three years after the EPA approved a state plan or five years after the publication date, whichever is earlier.
