Deconstructing Clean Air Act Stationary Source Aggregation

Feb 23, 2018

Understanding the Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act, enacted by the United States Congress in 1970, is a crucial piece of legislation designed to regulate and control air pollution. It establishes standards and regulations that govern air quality, emission limits, and pollutant control measures. One significant aspect of this legislation is the concept of stationary source aggregation.

What is Stationary Source Aggregation?

Stationary source aggregation refers to the process of determining whether multiple individual sources of air pollution should be considered as one aggregated source for regulatory purposes. This is an important consideration as it impacts how emissions limits, permitting requirements, and compliance obligations are applied.

Factors Influencing Stationary Source Aggregation

Several factors are assessed to determine whether stationary source aggregation is necessary. These factors include:

  • The proximity of sources
  • The similarity in operations
  • Ownership or control relationship
  • The effect of aggregation on emissions

Implications of Stationary Source Aggregation

The implications of stationary source aggregation can be significant for businesses and industries. When multiple sources are aggregated into a single entity, the combined emissions may exceed allowable limits, leading to potential compliance issues. It is therefore crucial for businesses to understand the aggregation rules and ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
