EMISSIONS CONTROLS Sample Clauses
The Emissions Controls clause sets requirements and limitations on the release of pollutants or greenhouse gases by a party, typically in the context of operations, manufacturing, or project activities. It may specify compliance with applicable environmental laws, mandate the use of certain technologies or practices to reduce emissions, or require regular monitoring and reporting of emission levels. This clause serves to ensure that environmental standards are met, mitigate legal and reputational risks, and promote sustainable practices by controlling and minimizing harmful emissions.
EMISSIONS CONTROLS. Vehicles and engines shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and Local laws, regulations and directives in effect on the date of manufacture.
EMISSIONS CONTROLS. Under this factor, the existing level of control of emission sources is taken into consideration. The emissions data used by EPA in this technical analysis and provided in Table 2 represent emissions levels taking into account any control strategies implemented in Frisco before 2005 on stationary sources. As noted above, Exide applied for a received a revised permit that lowered the allowed emissions rates for the facility.. The area was designated to attainment of the 1978 lead NAAQS and has been under the control of a 10-year maintenance plan since 1999. TCEQ submitted a second 10 year maintenance plan to EPA on September 15, 2009 in order to demonstrate a continued attainment of the 1978 standard, until a SIP revision for the nonattainment area is approved by EPA. For this factor, EPA considered data from National Weather Service instruments and other meteorological monitoring sites in the area. Wind direction and wind speed data for 2006-2009 are in Figure 3 below. These data may provide evidence of the potential for lead emissions sources located upwind of a violating monitor to contribute to ambient lead levels at the violation location. For each county, EPA reviewed the prevailing wind direction and wind speed on days/months with the highest observed ambient lead levels. A three-dimensional bar chart shows the wind frequencies in eight directions, for the four seasons, based on thirty two years of historical data1 for Frisco, Texas. The chart of frequencies reflects the directions from which the winds come. The area recommended by Texas reflects this pattern because the area extends to the north further from the Exide facility than to the south reflecting the prevailing south wind. Figure 3: Historic wind direction frequency in each of the four seasons in Collin County, Texas As shown in Figure 3, the prevailing surface winds predominantly were from the SSW. Geography/topography (mountain ranges or other air basin boundaries) The geography/topography analysis evaluates the physical features of the land that might have an effect on the air shed and, therefore, on the distribution of lead over the Frisco area. 1 This data was taken from 1960-1992 Solar and Meteorological Surface Observation Network information issued jointly by the U.S. Department of Commerce: National Climatic Data Center and the U.S. Department of Energy: National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The Frisco area does not have any geographical or topographical barriers significantly limi...
