Ohio Reinstates Air Nuisance Rule
If you live or run a business in Ohio, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is putting the Air Nuisance Rule (ANR) back into Ohio’s State Implementation Plan (SIP). This corrects EPA’s November 19, 2020 action after the Sixth Circuit remanded that decision on February 10, 2023; EPA proposed the reinstatement on February 22, 2024 and is finalizing it now. The ANR will be reinstated into the Ohio SIP upon the effective date of this action, and EPA says no new costs are expected while restoring air protections.
