Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EPA¿s promulgation of an ¿endangerment finding¿ for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Dec. 2009, and its subsequent promulgation of GHG emission standards for new motor vehicles on April 1, 2010, have raised concerns that the agency will now proceed to control GHG emissions from stationary sources, incl. power plants,manufacturing facilities, and others. Stationary sources account for 69% of U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases. Some have suggested that EPA should delay taking action on these sources or should be prevented from doing so. This report discusses elements of this controversy, providing background on stationary sources of greenhouse gas pollution and identifying options Congress has at its disposal. Illus.

Download or read book EPA s Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule written by Mary Ellen Ternes and published by LexisNexis/Matthew Bender. This book was released on 2009 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 1, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "EPA" will, for the first time, require large emitters of heat-trapping emissions to begin collecting greenhouse gas (GHG) data under a new reporting system. Monitoring requirements will begin immediately, with initial reports due on March 31, 2011. Most of the more than 10,000 affected facilities have not previously gathered GHG emissions data, and some have never reported under the Clean Air Act to EPA at all.To help you and your clients make sense of all the requirements, LexisNexis has published a new pamphlet, entitled EPA's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, which provides a comprehensive overview of what you'll need to know to start complying with the rule. Among the topics discussed are: Who is covered; How this rule differs from general Clean Air Act requirements including "potential-to-emit," definition of "facility" and scope of emission calculations; Status of State involvement; Comparison to State and Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiatives; Monitoring, reporting and verification requirements for the first report due March 31, 2011; Record retention requirements; Circumstances under which reporting can cease. Also learn practice tips on Implementation Issues, including: Applicability determinations for "all-in" source categories and threshold source categories; Drafting Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Plans; Understanding and complying with the Combustion Subpart (Subpart C) Submitting requests for use of Best Available Monitoring Methods past March 31, 2010; Use of Designated Representatives for reporting: Identification of Designated Representatives; agreements with Designated Representatives; certifications by Designated Representatives; additional delegations of authority. EPA's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule is the first in a forthcoming series of LexisNexis Global Climate Change Special Pamphlets that collectively address the law of global climate change. The series, written by members of the American College of Environmental Lawyers (ACOEL) and other experts, provides complete and up-to-date legal analysis of federal and state climate change statutory and case law, economic analysis of emerging carbon markets, practice pointers, and when appropriate, checklists and forms. Several new titles are due out in January 2010, including The SEC and Climate: Disclosure Requirements, Cap and Trade: Law and Economics, and Carbon Capture and Sequestration.

Download or read book EPAs Proposed Carbon Dioxide Rule for Existing Power Plants written by Carmella Ramos and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed regulations to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing power plants. EPA believes that its proposed Clean Power Plan (CPP) will "protect public health, move the United States towards a cleaner environment, and fight climate change while supplying Americans with reliable and affordable power." Burning fossil fuels to produce electricity results in the release of carbon dioxide, and represents the largest source of GHG emissions in the United States. This book discusses the implications for the electric power sector. It also examines the carbon dioxide emission rate goals in EPA's proposed rule for existing power plants; and discusses the Congressional responses and options to the EPA regulation of greenhouse gases.

This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change poses many challenges that affect society and the natural world. With these challenges, however, come opportunities to respond. By taking steps to adapt to and mitigate climate change, the risks to society and the impacts of continued climate change can be lessened. The National Climate Assessment, coordinated by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is a mandated report intended to inform response decisions. Required to be developed every four years, these reports provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date evaluation of climate change impacts available for the United States, making them a unique and important climate change document. The draft Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) report reviewed here addresses a wide range of topics of high importance to the United States and society more broadly, extending from human health and community well-being, to the built environment, to businesses and economies, to ecosystems and natural resources. This report evaluates the draft NCA4 to determine if it meets the requirements of the federal mandate, whether it provides accurate information grounded in the scientific literature, and whether it effectively communicates climate science, impacts, and responses for general audiences including the public, decision makers, and other stakeholders.

Book excerpt: In the 21st century, management of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to be an important environmental challenge facing the U.S. Climate change is also a serious issue, & the U.S. is embarking on a number of voluntary actions to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that can intensify climate change. By presenting material-specific GHG emission factors for various waste management options, this report examines how the two issues -- MSW management & climate change -- are related. The report's findings may be used to support a variety of programs & activities, including voluntary reporting of emission reductions from waste management practices. Charts, tables & graphs.
