EPA proposes OK for Utah ozone plan
The EPA is proposing to approve part of Utah’s State Implementation Plan that addresses interstate transport for the 2008 8-hour ozone national standard. This action specifically approves the requirement that Utah’s rules stop emissions from interfering with maintenance of the ozone standard in other states (called “prong 2”).
No new costly changes expected now
The EPA’s proposed approval indicates Utah’s current SIP provisions for the 2008 8-hour ozone standard are adequate for prong 2, so businesses and residents in Utah should not face new costly rule changes right now. It focuses on keeping ozone levels in check across state lines without imposing additional requirements at this time.
