- Clearinghouse for Inventories and Emission Factors (CHIEF) - This site links to data on information on emissions inventories, factors, modeling, and a monitoring knowledge base.
- RACT/BACT/LAER Clearinghouse (RBLC) - The RBLC data base contains case-specific information on the "Best Available" air pollution technologies that have been required to reduce the emission of air pollutants from stationary sources (e.g., power plants, steel mills, chemical plants, etc.). The information is provided by State and local permitting agencies. The terms "RACT," "BACT," and "LAER" are acronyms for different program requirements under EPA's New Source Review program. RACT = Reasonably Available Conrtrol Technology, BACT = Best Available Control Technology, LAER = Lowest Achievable Emission Rate.
