The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a request from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to update the state's air quality management plan. The updates involve revisions to how nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions from large non-Electric Generating Units (non-EGUs) are monitored, reported, and recorded. These changes are designed to offer more flexible methods for monitoring emissions while ensuring they meet federal standards and do not interfere with air quality goals. The proposal invites public comments on these updates until May 21, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to help Indiana update its air-cleaning plan by suggesting new ways to check and report air pollution from big factories that aren't power plants, making sure the air stays healthy while still following the rules. They're asking people what they think of these changes until May 21, 2025.
