To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to authorize the Adminis-

permit that modifies the total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen
demand requirements with respect to the discharge of waste water efflu-

water reclamation program is being implemented, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 20, 1993
Ms. SCHENK introduced the following bill; which was referred jointly to the
Committees on Public Works and Transportation and Merchant Marine
and Fisheries
A BILL
To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to au-
thorize the Administrator of the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency to issue a discharge permit that modifies
the total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen de-
mand requirements with respect to the discharge of
waste water effluent into the ocean from certain publicly

Subtitle D—Refining Revitalization 
SEC. 371. SHORT TITLE. 
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘United States Re-
finery Revitalization Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 372. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) It serves the national interest to increase 
petroleum refining capacity for gasoline, heating oil, 
diesel fuel, jet fuel, kerosene, and petrochemical 
feedstocks wherever located within the United 
States, to bring more supply to the markets for use 
by the American people. Nearly 50 percent of the 
petroleum in the United States is used for the pro-
duction of gasoline. Refined petroleum products have 
a significant impact on interstate commerce. 
(2) United States demand for refined petroleum 
products currently exceeds the country’s petroleum 
refining capacity to produce such products. By 
2025, United States gasoline consumption is pro-
jected to rise from 8,900,000 barrels per day to 
12,900,000 barrels per day. Diesel fuel and home
145
heating oil are becoming larger components of an in-
creasing demand for refined petroleum supply. With 
the increase in air travel, jet fuel consumption is 
projected to be 789,000 barrels per day higher in 
2025 than today. 
(3) The petroleum refining industry is oper-
ating at 95 percent of capacity. The United States 
is currently importing 5 percent of its refined petro-
leum products and because of the stringent United 
States gasoline and diesel fuel specifications, few 
foreign refiners can produce the clean fuels required 
in the United States and the number of foreign sup-
pliers that can produce United States quality gaso-
line is decreasing. 
(4) Refiners are subject to significant environ-
mental and other regulations and face several new 
Clean Air Act requirements over the next decade. 
New Clean Air Act requirements will benefit the en-
vironment but will also require substantial capital 
investment and additional government permits. 
(5) No new refinery has been built in the 
United States since 1976 and many smaller domes-
tic refineries have become idle since the removal of 
the Domestic Crude Oil Allocation Program and be-
cause of regulatory uncertainty and generally low re-

H. RES. 727 
Providing for a moratorium on the consideration of any bill or joint resolution,

turns on capital employed. Today, the United States 
has 149 refineries, down from 324 in 1981. Restora-
tion of recently idled refineries alone would amount 
to 483,570 barrels a day in additional capacity, or 
approximately 3.3 percent of the total operating ca-
pacity. 
(6) Refiners have met growing demand by in-
creasing the use of existing equipment and increas-
ing the efficiency and capacity of existing plants. 
But refining capacity has begun to lag behind peak 
summer demand. 
(7) Heavy industry and manufacturing jobs 
have closed or relocated due to barriers to invest-
ment, burdensome regulation, and high costs of op-
eration, among other reasons. 
(8) Because the production and disruption in 
supply of refined petroleum products has a signifi-
cant impact on interstate commerce, it serves the 
national interest to increase the domestic refining 
operating capacity. 
(10) More regulatory certainty for refinery own-
ers is needed to stimulate investment in increased 
refinery capacity and required procedures for Fed-
eral, State, and local regulatory approvals need to be 
streamlined to ensure that increased refinery capac-

(b) TECHNICAL CRITERIA FOR CLEAN COAL POWER 
INITIATIVE.—
(1) GASIFICATION PROJECTS.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—In allocating the funds 
made available under section 401(a), the Sec-
retary shall ensure that at least 60 percent of 
the funds are used only for projects on coal-
based gasification technologies, including gasifi-
cation combined cycle, gasification fuel cells, 
gasification coproduction, and hybrid gasifi-
cation/combustion. 
(B) TECHNICAL
MILESTONES.—The Sec-
retary shall periodically set technical milestones 
specifying the emission and thermal efficiency 
levels that coal gasification projects under this 
subtitle shall be designed, and reasonably ex-
pected, to achieve. The technical milestones 
shall become more restrictive during the life of 
the program. The Secretary shall set the peri-
odic milestones so as to achieve by 2020 coal 
gasification projects able—
(i) to remove 99 percent of sulfur di-
oxide; 
(ii) to emit not more than .05 lbs of 
NOx per million Btu;
159
(iii) to achieve substantial reductions 
in mercury emissions; and 
(iv) to achieve a thermal efficiency 
of—
(I) 60 percent for coal of more 
than 9,000 Btu; 
(II) 59 percent for coal of 7,000 
to 9,000 Btu; and 
(III) 50 percent for coal of less 
than 7,000 Btu. 
(2) OTHER PROJECTS.—The Secretary shall pe-
riodically set technical milestones and ensure that up 
to 40 percent of the funds appropriated pursuant to 
section 401(a) are used for projects not described in 
paragraph (1). The milestones shall specify the 
emission and thermal efficiency levels that projects 
funded under this paragraph shall be designed to 
and reasonably expected to achieve. The technical 
milestones shall become more restrictive during the 
life of the program. The Secretary shall set the peri-
odic milestones so as to achieve by 2010 projects 
able—
(A) to remove 97 percent of sulfur dioxide; 
(B) to emit no more than .08 lbs of NOx 
per million Btu;
160
(C) to achieve substantial reductions in 
mercury emissions; and 
(D) to achieve a thermal efficiency of—
(i) 45 percent for coal of more than 
9,000 Btu; 
(ii) 44 percent for coal of 7,000 to 
9,000 Btu; and 
(iii) 40 percent for coal of less than 
7,000 Btu. 
(3) CONSULTATION.—Before setting the tech-
nical milestones under paragraphs (1)(B) and (2), 
the Secretary shall consult with the Administrator of 
the Environmental Protection Agency and interested 
entities, including coal producers, industries using 
coal, organizations to promote coal or advanced coal 
technologies, environmental organizations, and orga-
nizations representing workers. 
(4) EXISTING UNITS.—In the case of projects 
at units in existence on the date of enactment of this 
Act, in lieu of the thermal efficiency requirements 
set forth in paragraph (1)(B)(iv) and (2)(D), the 
milestones shall be designed to achieve an overall 
thermal design efficiency improvement, compared to 
the efficiency of the unit as operated, of not less 
than—
161
(A) 7 percent for coal of more than 9,000 
Btu; 
(B) 6 percent for coal of 7,000 to 9,000 
Btu; or 
(C) 4 percent for coal of less than 7,000 
Btu. 
(5) PERMITTED
USES.—In carrying out this 
subtitle, the Secretary may fund projects that in-
clude, as part of the project, the separation and cap-
ture of carbon dioxide. The thermal efficiency goals 
of paragraphs (1), (2), and (4) shall not apply for 
projects that separate and capture at least 50 per-
cent of the facility’s potential emissions of carbon di-
oxide. 
(c) FINANCIAL CRITERIA.—The Secretary shall not 
provide a funding award under this subtitle unless the re-
cipient documents to the satisfaction of the Secretary 
that—
(1) the award recipient is financially viable 
without the receipt of additional Federal funding; 
(2) the recipient will provide sufficient informa-
tion to the Secretary to enable the Secretary to en-
sure that the award funds are spent efficiently and 
effectively; and
