    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.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized the approval of a change to the air quality plan for San Diego, California. This change involves removing a rule related to controlling emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from large wood product coating operations. The EPA determined this rule is no longer necessary under the Clean Air Act requirements, as it effectively revises the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) to reflect current needs. No public comments were received during the review period, so the EPA proceeded with approving this update.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA decided that a rule telling how to stop certain smelly gases from painting big wooden things in San Diego is not needed anymore, so they took it away.
