EPA Approves State Plans to Reduce Interstate Transport of Air Pollution

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its approval of state plans to address the interstate transport of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air pollution, which is a key component of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The approved plans, submitted by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, demonstrate that these states do not significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2012 PM 2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in other states.
