    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized a rule confirming that the nonattainment areas in Freestone and Anderson Counties and Titus County, Texas, have met the 2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide air quality standards by the deadline of January 12, 2022. This decision was based on evidence like shutdowns of major pollution sources, air quality monitoring data, and emissions modeling. The rule also specifies that these areas remain designated as nonattainment until formally redesignated by the EPA. This decision obeys the Clean Air Act requirements and does not impose new obligations beyond what the Act mandates.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA checked the air in some parts of Texas to see if it was cleaner and found it was safe enough, mostly because some big polluters closed down. They decided these areas still need to be watched before they can be called completely clean.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has released an environmental assessment (EA) for the Lines DT and DS Replacement Project Amendment proposed by Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc. This project seeks permission to abandon in-place, rather than remove, two pipeline lines in Anderson and Franklin Counties, Kansas, to minimize impacts on landowners and the environment. The assessment concludes that the project would not significantly affect the human environment if appropriate mitigation measures are adopted. Interested parties are invited to submit comments on the EA before January 27, 2021, through various submission methods available on the FERC website.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is thinking about letting a company leave old pipelines in the ground instead of taking them out to avoid disturbing people and the land. They would like to know what you think about their plan, so you can tell them before the end of January 2021.
