The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a change to Indiana's State Implementation Plan (SIP). This change involves updating Indiana's rules on emissions reporting to match the requirements set by the Clean Air Act. The new rule will require businesses in Clark and Floyd counties, which have high levels of air pollution, to report their emissions annually. Meanwhile, Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County and LaPorte County will no longer have to report emissions since they have met previous air quality standards.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to update the rules in Indiana so that companies in two areas with dirty air have to report how much pollution they make each year, while two other areas that are already clean no longer have to report.
