    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, did not meet the 2010 sulfur dioxide (SO2) air quality standard by the deadline of April 9, 2023, as required by the Clean Air Act. The decision is based on evaluating emissions data, which showed increased pollution levels. Following this ruling, Louisiana is required to revise its State Implementation Plan (SIP) within 12 months to ensure the area meets the air quality standards as quickly as possible, but no later than December 16, 2029. This decision aims to address air quality issues without additional regulatory burdens or economic impacts on smaller entities.
