These items, which include artifacts like a stone anchor and glass trade beads, were collected from a burial site in Clark County, Washington. The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, along with the Chinook Nation, are working together on this repatriation. The items' return to eligible claimants may begin on or after May 19, 2025.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a change to Washington State's Implementation Plan concerning air quality. This revision, submitted on June 2, 2019, by the Washington Department of Ecology, moves the Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program from actively addressing air quality issues to a backup measure in five counties. Effective March 22, 2021, this decision aligns with the Clean Air Act requirements and does not impose any new obligations beyond state law. The change affects areas like Clark, King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Spokane Counties and is part of ongoing measures to maintain air quality standards.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has agreed to change how Washington State checks the air quality in some places. They decided that the plan for checking car pollution in a few counties will be used only as a backup instead of the main plan, starting March 22, 2021.

    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.
