Description:
The RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology)/BACT (Best Available Control Technology)/LAER (Lowest Achievable Emission Rate) Clearinghouse (RBLC) helps permit applicants and reviewers make pollution prevention and control technology decisions for stationary air pollution sources. RBLC contains summary information from state and local air pollution control permits issued in the U.S. since 1982. Data includes facilities that apply for construction permits; the basis for emission limits for each facility; pertinent source operating parameters such as process types, pollutant emission rates, pollution prevention techniques, add-on control equipment or other technology; permitting agency contacts; and scheduling data. A regulation database contains data about federal regulations governing air pollutant emissions. State and local air pollution control agency personnel submit data to EPA or directly enter data via EPA's Web site.
