On March 15, 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) to permanently cap and reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The CAMR will reduce nationwide utility emissions of mercury from new and existing coal-fired power plants in two distinct phases. New coal-fired power plants ("new" means construction starting on or after January 30, 2004) will have to meet new source performance standards in addition to being subject to the caps. Also, Governor Granholm has directed that Michigan pursue a rule to reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired electric utilities by 90 percent by 2015. MDEQ has begun the process to develop new air pollution control rules (SOAHR 2005-038 EQ) to address mercury emissions from coal fired electric utilities. During this process, draft rule package updates, meeting agendas, meeting notes, copies of presentations, comments and summaries will be available for downloading from this page.
