Improving EPA’s Latest Ozone Transport Rule

Acoel

The agency’s air quality modeling indicates that most areas would receive an ozone reduction of less than 0.1 These air quality impacts are minimal compared with the major ozone reductions resulting from the 1998 SIP Call, which resulted in more than 80,000 megawatts of coal capacity being retrofitted with SCRs. ppb by 2025.

Air District Targets Southern California Logistics Industry

Clean Energy Law

The Basin does not meet the state or federal ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter, and existing regulations have to date proved insufficient to bring the Basin into compliance. According to the 2016 AQMP, mobile sources contributed about 88% of total NO x emissions in the Basin in 2012.
