EPA Proposes Approval of Oregon Air Quality Plan Revision and Repeal of Perc Dry Cleaning Systems Rules

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to Oregon's State Implementation Plan and repeal rules related to perchloroethylene (perc) dry cleaning systems, which are no longer required by the Clean Air Act. This revision removes guidelines for perc dry cleaning systems, a solvent commonly used in dry cleaning and other operations.
