"The electric power industry, which waged an epic legal battle against EPA's air toxics standards earlier this decade, now wants the regulations kept largely intact and is urging the agency to complete a required follow-up review by a 2020 deadline.
'It is important to note that all covered plants have implemented the regulations and that pollution controls — where needed — are installed and operating,' the Edison Electric Institute and several other industry trade groups said in a letter to EPA air chief Bill Wehrum released late yesterday evening.
They asked Wehrum to leave the underlying Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) in place and finish the residual risk and technology review 'as expeditiously as possible.'"
