Acid Rain Program

Welcome to Region 7's Acid Rain Program Page. This page provides information about the environmental benefits of reducing acid rain, about how the program works, and other information you may find useful. To learn more about the program, for copies of regulations, forms, and instructions take a look at the Clean Air Market Program's Acid Rain page or give us a call at Region 7.

The following information and files, many available for download, provide answers to the most frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions or have any recommendations for improving this page, let us know.

EPA's Acid Rain Program Policy Manual is also a helpful resource in answering questions about continuous emission monitoring, data reporting, and other program areas not fully explained in the rules and background material.
