EPA Approves Revisions to Tennessee's Knox County Regulations for Air Pollution Appeals and Violations

Summary

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved revisions to the Knox County portion of Tennessee's State Implementation Plan (SIP), which includes updates to regulations for appeals, judicial review, and violations of air pollution rules, as well as enhanced monitoring requirements. However, the EPA has put on hold implementation of these revisions due to the preliminary nature of proposed federal requirements for enhanced monitoring and compliance assurance monitoring.
