EPA “Good Neighbor” Plan Targets “Cross-State” Emissions
March 22, 2022
The plan would expand the agency’s efforts to curb harmful pollution that crosses state lines.
Air pollution doesn’t stop at the state line, says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. That’s the rationale behind a proposed plan that would sharply expand the agency’s efforts to curb harmful pollution that crosses state lines, according to an article from E&E News.
The EPA’s “good neighbor” plan would apply in varying degrees to 26 states, located mainly in the East and Midwest but also including Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California, according to the article. These states were not covered by the last major “cross-state” pollution rule issued more than a decade ago and updated six years ago. Stronger requirements around smog-forming emissions would impact power plants, paper mills and other industries in roughly half the country under the new ozone proposal, according to the article.
