Summary
Cap and trade system for NOx and SO2; nonattainment areas. Provides that the Air Pollution Control Board may prohibit electric generating facilities located within specified nonattainment areas in the Commonwealth from meeting their compliance obligations for pollutants that contribute to ongoing nonattainment in that area through the purchase of allowances for NOx and SO2 only if the Board finds that: (i) the prohibition will directly and quantifiably reduce ambient concentrations of ozone or PM2.5 in the affected nonattainment area; and (ii) there is no other reasonably available approach to achieve a comparable air quality benefit for the Commonwealth.
