The SO2 level of one section of a state is much below the national air quality standard. A large electric utility has proposed to build a coal-burning plant in the region without any SO2 control equipment. It has been determined that even with the discharge from the proposed plant, the SO2 level in the region will still be below the national air quality standard. Discuss the current regulations that would be applicable. Could the plant be built without controls under the current regulatory requirements? Discuss.
