Post 944: March 14th, 2022. Super News! The EPA plans to further restrict smokestack emissions affecting downwind areas starting next year! The restrictions would primarily focus on smog that travels between state lines, wafting from metropolitan areas to communities far from the source. Current restrictions created in 2015 already attempt to limit this type of pollution, but rollbacks made by the Trump administration have since left it weakened. If the EPA pushes forward with the new restrictions, states would be required to provide updated "good neighbor" plans - otherwise be forced to follow the new federal guidelines. . .
