What is CSAPR?
CSAPR
The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule is a federal program administered by the EPA aimed at improving air quality by reducing power plant emissions through a Cap-and-Trade system.
Specifically, CSAPR targets fine particle and ozone pollution, mandating these states to reduce emissions that contribute to smog in downwind areas. The rule targets emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units at coal, gas, and oil-fired facilities. By reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, CSAPR plays a critical role in improving air quality and protecting the health of residents in affected states.
The CSAPR programs have undergone many major regulatory changes, and AQC equips our clients with the necessary tools to make informed business decisions while fulfilling their CSAPR compliance requirements.
