The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved changes made by North Carolina to its State Implementation Plan, which includes regulations on construction and operation permits. This decision, made effective March 31, 2021, modifies several aspects of the state's permitting process, such as exemptions, application procedures, and definitions. The EPA concluded that these changes are minor and comply with the Clean Air Act, ensuring they do not interfere with national air quality standards.
Simple Explanation
The EPA has given a thumbs-up to North Carolina for making small tweaks to its rules about building things and how they are run, which helps to keep the air clean and meets the main rules all states have to follow.
