SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Major stationary air pollution sources. Provides that any stationary source or group of stationary sources within a one-mile radius of each other that (i) generate, transmit, or distribute electric services and (ii) emit or have the potential to emit 50 tons per year or more of nitrogen oxides shall be considered a "major stationary air pollution source" for the purposes of the Board's Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit program and the Board's operating permit program established pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act. The bill also requires that applicants for a permit to modify or construct a major stationary source demonstrate that they have obtained nitrogen oxides emission reduction credits, allowances or offsets in a ratio of 1.2:1 from a source within the Commonwealth prior to the issuance of a permit.
