	Special Deals for Alcoa Aluminum Texas' Largest Grandfathered Polluter
		When the Texas Legislature passed the Clean Air Act in 1971, it allowed existing plants such as Alcoa's Rockdale facility to be "grandfathered" from complying with current pollution control regulations as long as they made no major modifications in operations, facilities or fuels, or changes in the character of emissions.
		In 1979, Alcoa discovered that the lignite being mined in a new area had a much higher sulfur content than their earlier reserves, causing the plant's sulfur dioxide emissions to increase significantly.
		Alcoa says that if it were forced to comply with state and national clean air laws, the alterations in equipment would be so expensive that the company would be forced to shut down the Rockdale plant putting over one thousand people out of work.

	George W. Bush's Cabinet: Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

		That hasn’t been the case." That’s probably because Alcoa relies on Vinson and Elkins, a Texas-based law firm, to lobby the government on its behalf.
		While Bush was still governor of Texas, Vinson and Elkins got a loophole in the state’s environmental regulations that will allow Alcoa to continue emitting 60,000 tons of sulfur dioxide annually into the air, solidifying Alcoa’s position as one of Texas’ top polluters.
