Citation:

Hartley, R. POLLUTION CONTROL GUIDANCE FOR GEOTHERMAL ENERGY DEVELOPMENT. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/7-78/101 (NTIS PB282546).

Description:

This report summarizes the EPA regulatory approach toward geothermal energy development. The state of knowledge is described with respect to the constituents of geothermal effluents and emissions, including water, air, solid wastes, and noise. Pollutant effects are discussed. Pollution control technologies that may be applicable are described along with preliminary cost estimates for their application. Finally, discharge and emission limitations are suggested that may serve as interim guidance for pollution control during early geothermal development.
