The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve Oklahoma's plan to control emissions from municipal solid waste landfills, as mandated by the Clean Air Act. This state plan aims to regulate existing landfills' pollutants in line with federal guidelines, making the plan federally enforceable if approved. The EPA evaluated the plan, confirming it meets federal requirements, and it will affect certain areas, including specific parts of Indian country in Oklahoma. The public can submit comments on this proposal until February 18, 2025.
