    Reading Time:about 18 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to New York's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone air quality standards, specifically for the Lehigh Cement Company in Glens Falls, New York. This revision involves implementing controls for nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions from a cement kiln, requiring them to use Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT). The proposed regulations are part of efforts to meet ozone standards and follow a nationwide consent decree. The EPA determined that this plan would not interfere with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or other requirements of the Clean Air Act.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to make sure that a cement company in New York uses special tools to make less air pollution, so the air stays clean and healthy for everyone to breathe.

  • 2024-30409 — Determination To Defer Sanctions; California; Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District
    Type:Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104886
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim decision to delay certain penalties for the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) in California. The delay is because the MDAQMD has updated Rule 1157 to fix issues related to controlling nitrogen oxide emissions. This decision means relief from penalties, initially triggered by EPA's limited disapproval in 2023, may become permanent if the amendments are fully approved following public comments. The EPA is allowing the public to comment on this decision until January 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is saying "pause" to the penalties they wanted to give a part of California for not cleaning up the air properly. They might skip the penalties for good if the fixes they promised work well and everyone agrees.
