Keine EU-Fristverlängerung zur Erreichung der Grenzwerte bei Stickstoffdioxid-Emissionen und Konsequenzen hinsichtlich der 13. Bundes-Immissionsschutzverordnung

Germany · German Bundestag · 1 January 2009

Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Welche Schlüsse, insbesondere hinsichtlich der 13. Bundes-Immissionsschutzverordnung, zieht die Bundesregierung aus der Entscheidung der Europäischen Kommission, für eine ganze Reihe von Städten und Gebieten in Deutschland keine Fristverlängerung für die Erreichung der Grenzwerte bei Stickstoffdioxidemissionen zuzubilligen, vor dem Hintergrund, dass auch die Emissionen aus der Energieerzeugung, vor allem aus Kohlekraftwerken, ein Viertel der gesamten Stickstoffemissionen ausmachen und in den letzten 15 Jahren nicht vermindert worden sind und gleichzeitig seit 2010 die EU-Zielvorgaben für Stickstoffoxide gemäß der NEC-Richtlinie verfehlt werden (Ausschussdrucksache des Ausschusses für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit des Deutschen Bundestages 17(16)547 (neu))?

19 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the steps he is taking in response to the finding in the state of the environment report published by the Environmental Protection Agency in October 2008, that under the most favourable scenario Ireland’s greenhouse gas emissions will exceed the proposed reduction target for 2020 by seven million tonnes, that biodegradable municipal waste diversion targets will be missed by 800,000 tonnes and that emissions of nitrogen oxides are to remain high; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

To ameliorate the effects of harmful algal blooms in the Great Lakes by reducing phosphorus inputs, and for other purposes.

United States · United States Congress · 8 May 2008

Requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and submit to Congress a regional response plan to address and mitigate harmful algal blooms in the Great Lakes that includes: (1) an analysis of the scientific data about the causes of such blooms; (2) proposed solutions to address and mitigate such blooms, an analysis of the technological and economic feasibility of such solutions, and an estimate of the cost of implementing them; (3) an analysis of the ability of secondary treatment by wastewater treatment facilities to reduce the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen being discharged into the Great Lakes; (4) an evaluation of the relevant water quality standards promulgated by each of the Great Lakes states; and (5) suggested revisions to such standards if they are not adequate to reduce the incidence and severity of such blooms. Requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to declare as a banned hazardous substance under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act any cleaning product that contains greater than 0.5% phosphorus by volume and is intended for use in individual households.
