Comment submitted by Natural Resources Defense Council et al. (Part II)
AnonymousOpposeAdvocacy
Summary: A coalition of environmental and public health organizations opposes the EPA's proposal to allow construction of non-pollutant-emitting components before obtaining a preconstruction permit. They argue the proposal is illegal, contradicts the Clean Air Act, and would allow facilities to circumvent Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements by physically and economically limiting control options before a permit is issued.
Part II of joint comments of Natural Resources Defense Council, Clean Air Task Force, Clean Air Council, Earthjustice, Environmental Defense Fund, Environmental Integrity Project, Kentucky Resources Council, Southern Environmental Law Center, Sierra Club, Environmental Protection Network, and Food & Water Watch.
