    💰

    Reading Time:about 16 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a Tribal Implementation Plan (TIP) submitted by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. The TIP aims to regulate air pollution on the Tribe's Indian Reservation and tribal trust parcels by maintaining national air quality standards through an open burning program. The plan includes standards for pollutants like sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and ozone, along with enforcement protocols. The EPA's approval would make these regulations federally enforceable, aligning with the Clean Air Act.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to let the Northern Cheyenne Tribe have rules to keep the air clean on their land, and they will use these rules to make sure things like smoke from burning don't get out of hand and make the air bad to breathe.

These decisions impact how South Carolina regulates air pollution from smaller industrial sources, ensuring they comply with national air quality standards. The public is invited to comment on the proposal by February 20, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is looking at some rules South Carolina made to handle air pollution from small factories. They like some of the new rules but not all, because a few didn't meet federal rules about asking people what they think before making decisions. The public can share their opinions until February 20, 2025.
