GLIN==> Mercury Emission Phase-Down Strategy

The Great Lakes Regional Collaboration (GLRC) Executive Committee
announces the release of the Mercury Emission Phase-Down Strategy.

A team of State, Federal, Tribal, and City government staff wrote the
Strategy in fulfillment of a GLRC recommendation to reduce mercury
emissions in the Great Lakes basin by 2015. The Strategy makes 34
recommendations for action by Great Lakes states, cities and tribes to
take in order to minimize mercury emissions into the atmosphere from
seven primary emission source sectors.  These include a variety of
regulatory and voluntary measures for eliminating or controlling the
emissions of mercury.

The Strategy is now available at:
