Lynn L. Bergeson, “Legal Lookout: EPA Issues Final “Tailoring” GHG Permitting Rule,” Pollution Engineering, August 2010.

On June 3, 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA). This controversial rule set thresholds for GHG emissions that define when permits under the New Source Review Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V operating permit programs are required for new and existing industrial facilities.
