State Legislation and Regulations

Mercury

Under EPA's Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), which has been vacated by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, states had the ability to accept the federal rule or develop a more stringent state regulation. Many states, including Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, have implemented more stringent state rules.
