Industrial MACT Webinar - Hot Topic Hour November 18, 2010 - Part 1
Sodium Bicarbonate, Lime, CDS and Regulations were among the Topics covered on the First Day of the Industrial MACT Webinar. In 60 days or so we will know the specific changes for the final Industrial MACT. Correction-- we will know what is final until it is changed again. Unfortunately it will be three more years to find out if litigants are successful in causing changes. However, it will take three years to install the equipment and run it long enough to make sure of compliance. So it would seem there are two choices. Litigate and gamble you won’t have to shut down your plant or go ahead with the assumption that the rule will stand. Password: hth107

Carroll "Mack" W. McGuffey III, Associate at Troutman Sanders LLP, told the participants that it is unlikely that the final rule will be delayed by lawsuits. The litigants can petition to stay the rule until the litigation is complete but the D.C. Circuit Court is unlikely to do so. So the clock will be ticking and compliance will be required in 2014. The lawsuits can focus on several issues. One is the lack of five or more sources achieving the limits on any one pollutant. Another is the argument that a source which achieves the limit on one pollutant but not another is not a valid example.

Industrial Boiler MACT - Impact and Control Options - Webinar March 10, 2011
On February 23, 2011 the U.S. EPA issued “Sensible Standards” for Boilers and Certain Incinerators that cut the cost of implementation by about 50 percent from an earlier proposal issued last year. Because the final standards significantly differ from the proposals, EPA believes further public review is required. Therefore, EPA will reconsider the final standards under a Clean Air Act process that allows the agency to seek additional public review and comment to ensure full transparency. EPA's reconsideration will cover the emissions standards for large and small boilers and for solid waste incinerators.

Mack McGuffey practices environmental law as an associate in Troutman Sanders' Atlanta office and specializes in regulatory compliance under the Clean Air Act. Last November at the last webinar on the IBMACT before the rule was published, he gave a very good presentation on the status of the ruling and potential future litigation. Now that the rule is out, Mack was able to provide an overview of the MACT program, explain how EPA's final Industrial Boiler MACT standards differ from the ones it originally proposed, and describe some of the legal issues associated with EPA's final rule. A key point made was that although EPA indicated that because of concerns over the legality of the significant changes between proposed rule and final rule, EPA is taking comment on the final rule, any delay in or stay of the deadline for compliance is very unlikely. He also emphasized that affected boiler operators must do whatever is necessary to comply with the new emission limits. Just installing additional control equipment will not be sufficient.

Third Time's the Charm? By Mack McGuffey, Troutman Sanders - Hot Topic Hour March 22, 2012
Mack reviewed the history of Industrial Boiler MACT which shows that there have been substantial changes in the proposed limits each time the proposed rule has been revised.
