Data On Mercury Emissions To Be Collected

On 11/16/98 EPA announced that it will require most coal-fired electric generating plants to make publicly available for the first time ever information concerning mercury emissions coming from their smokestacks. EPA will begin collecting the emissions data Jan. 1, 1999, and start making it available to the public on the Internet early in the year 2000. This action is not a regulation and will not appear in the Federal Register; however, supporting information is accessible immediately at website: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/t1fs.html.
