WELCOME BACK! Believe it or not, the end of summer and beginning of a new
UT Fall semester is only a few weeks away!
Our first two events are August 26. We are holding a free workshop for
journalists in the morning and a public forum on the EPA's Clean Power Plan in
the afternoon! Both require registration and both are free. See details below.
===================================================
A PUBLIC FORUM - EPA CLEAN POWER PLAN
Tuesday, August 26, 1:00- 5:00 pm - Toyota Auditorium
In June 2014, the EPA issued proposed guidelines under Section 111(d) of the
Clean Air Act, which would regulate carbon emissions from existing power
plants. EPA expects to issue the final guidelines in June 2015. States will
submit implementation plans for compliance within a year following the issuance
of the final guidelines. This forum focuses on Tennessee and the Southeast
region and addresses some of the questions and concerns being voiced about
the proposed guidelines, including potential impacts and compliance
approaches. See attached flyer for full details.
Sponsored by the Baker Center, TN Dept. of Environment & Conservation and
TVA. Seating is limited.
