Texas meets SO2 'Good Neighbor' Rule
The EPA is proposing to approve the part of Texas’s State Implementation Plan showing the State meets the interstate transport (the Clean Air Act “good neighbor”) requirements for the 2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This means Texas has demonstrated it will not significantly contribute to other states’ nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.
