| 104-s-490 | 104 | s | 490 | A bill to amend the Clean Air Act to exempt agriculture-related facilities from certain permitting requirements, and for other purposes. | Environmental Protection | 1995-03-02 | 1995-03-02 | Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. | Senate | Sen. Grassley, Chuck [R-IA] | IA | R | G000386 | 14 | Amends the Clean Air Act to add specified definitions relating to agriculture-related facilities (grain elevators, grain, feed, or rice mills, or grain processing facilities). Defines "potential to emit" as the potential of a facility to emit during a one-year period under maximum realistic operation. Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in determining the maximum realistic operation of an agriculture-related facility, to consider: (1) the cyclical or seasonal nature of the facility; and (2) the maximum hours of operation of the facility that actually occurred during any of the preceding five years in the case of a facility in operation on the date of determination. Requires the Administrator to consider the effect of control equipment and techniques in lowering the potential to emit of an agriculture-related facility. Exempts a source from permitting requirements if the source is not a major source and is subject to emissions standards for new stationary sources or requirements for stationary sources of hazardous air pollutants. | 2025-04-07T15:23:16Z | https://www.congress.gov/bill/104th-congress/senate-bill/490 |
