Maryland OKs NOx Caps for Large Facilities
If you operate a large non-electric generating unit (a large factory) in Maryland, the EPA approved Maryland Submittal #24-01 to re-allocate nitrogen oxides (NOx) ozone-season emission caps for those units. The amendment also updates a cross-reference to the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and was approved under the Clean Air Act to help keep Maryland's air cleaner during ozone season.
