EPA Approves Redesignation of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Ozone Nonattainment Area to Attainment

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed to approve Pennsylvania's request to redesignate the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 8-hour ozone nonattainment area as an attainment area, based on three years of air quality monitoring data from 2004-2006, and a maintenance plan to ensure continued attainment for at least 10 years.
