Chapter 3 AIR QUALITY: INFORMATION ON TALL SMOKESTACKS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO INTERSTATE TRANSPORT OF AIR POLLUTION
ALMOST 300 TALL SMOKESTACKS OPERATE IN 34 STATES, AND ABOUT HALF BEGAN OPERATING BEFORE 1980
284 Tall Stacks Were Operating at about 170 Coal Power Plants, with Approximately One-Third Located in the Ohio River Valley
About Half of All Tall Stacks Began Operating before 1980, but an Increasing Number Have Gone into Service in the Last 4 Years
STACK HEIGHT CONTRIBUTES TO INTERSTATE TRANSPORT OF AIR POLLUTION, AND THE EMISSIONS FROM SEVERAL TALL STACKS REMAIN UNCONTROLLED FOR CERTAIN POLLUTANTS
Stack Height Is One of Several Factors that Contribute to the Interstate Transport of Air Pollution
Use of Pollution Controls at Coal Power Plants Has Increased in Recent Years, but Emissions from Some Plants, Including Several with Tall Stacks, Remain Uncontrolled for Certain Pollutants
BASED ON AVAILABLE INFORMATION, 17 OF 48 TALL SMOKESTACKS BUILT SINCE 1988 EXCEED THEIR GEP HEIGHT, AND A VARIETY OF FACTORS CAN INFLUENCE HEIGHT DECISIONS
