EPA Plan Would Begin Rolling Back 'Good Neighbor' Rule on Downwind Pollution From Smokestacks
EPA finds eight states' ozone plans meet air quality standards after Supreme Court limited federal enforcement of interstate pollution controls.
- On Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed to approve ozone plans from Alabama, Arizona, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico and Tennessee.
- The Supreme Court's 2024 ruling found that the EPA could not enforce the rule, and under the Biden-era EPA, regulators disapproved state ozone plans for failing to control cross-state pollution.
- EPA finds that state submissions provide adequate data and therefore will withdraw proposed error corrections for Iowa and Kansas and accept public comment for at least 30 days.
- Environmental groups reacted that the proposal rewards bad neighbors, with Zachary Fabish warning it will make Americans sicker and increase energy costs.
- In the near future, EPA intends to take separate action on interstate transport obligations for the remaining states covered by the final Biden‑era Good Neighbor Plan.
