  • 2024-29507 — Finding of Failure To Attain by the Attainment Date for the 2010 1-Hour Primary Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard; Guam; Piti-Cabras Nonattainment Area

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concluded that the Piti-Cabras area in Guam did not meet the required sulfur dioxide air quality standards by the deadline of April 9, 2023. This decision is based on the analysis of available data, showing emissions were too high, and necessary emission controls were not implemented on time. As a result, Guam must now submit a revised plan to achieve air quality standards within the next five years, according to the Clean Air Act requirements. This measure ensures continued efforts to protect public health from pollution.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA says that the air in a place called Piti-Cabras, Guam, still has too much bad stuff called sulfur dioxide, which can be harmful. They need to make a better plan to clean the air in the next five years.

  • 2024-29229 — Redesignation of Portions of Westmoreland and Cambria Counties, Pennsylvania for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 101910
    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The EPA has finalized a rule reclassifying parts of Cambria and Westmoreland Counties in Pennsylvania as "nonattainment" areas for sulfur dioxide (SO2) air quality standards set in 2010. This decision is based on air dispersion modeling that shows violations of the standards. These areas were previously classified as "attainment/unclassifiable" and "unclassifiable." With this new designation, Pennsylvania is required to create a plan to reduce SO2 levels to meet health and safety standards over the next few years.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has decided that parts of two counties in Pennsylvania have too much sulfur dioxide in the air, which can be bad for people's health. Now, Pennsylvania has to make a plan to clean up the air there.
