    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved parts of California's plan to meet air quality standards in the Coachella Valley for ozone levels set in 1997. They approved demonstrations showing reasonable progress and efforts to offset vehicle emissions. The decision follows public comments and reviews of the plan, confirming the approach is scientifically valid and doesn't delay attainment of air quality goals. The action is consistent with the Clean Air Act and doesn't add new requirements beyond those already established by California law.

    Reading Time:about 25 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to give the Coachella Valley in Riverside County, California, one more year to meet the air quality standards for ozone that were set in 1997. This proposal is based on a thorough evaluation of the air quality data and a request from the State of California. If accepted, this would extend the deadline from June 2024 to June 2025. The public is invited to comment on this proposal, especially concerning the exceptional events like wildfires, which affected the air quality data.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to give Coachella Valley in California one more year, until June 2025, to clean up its air and meet older ozone pollution rules because wildfires made the air worse. They are asking people to share their thoughts on this idea.
