On Tuesday, the House passed H.R. 3797, the Satisfying Energy Needs and Saving the Environment (SENSE) Act, which would address the application of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards for Power Plants (MATS) to power plants that utilize coal refuse to generate electricity. Furthermore, this legislation would prohibit these coal refuse-to-waste plants from transferring unused sulfur dioxide allowance allocations to another facility. These plants, however, could bank the unused allowances for compliance with CSARP in future years.
