Latest version.
  • (1) It is the policy of the state to require mitigation of the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from all new and certain modified fossil-fueled thermal electric generating facilities with station-generating capability of more than 25 megawatts of electricity (MWe).
    (2) A fossil-fueled thermal electric generating facility is not subject to the requirements of chapter 173-401 WAC solely due to its emissions of CO2.
    (a) Emissions of other regulated air pollutants must be a large enough quantity to trigger those requirements.
