EPA to develop state haze plans

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will develop plans to reduce regional haze pollution in 15 states that missed a 2021 deadline to adopt their own. The federal haze pollution regulations are aimed at improving visibility in large regions that include national parks, forests and wilderness areas. The other states that failed to produce plans are Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia. (NOLA.com 09/03/22) EPA steps in to reduce haze pollution after Louisiana fails to meet deadline | Environment | nola.com
