The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued an interim decision regarding air quality rules in Maricopa County, Arizona. This decision addresses how the county regulates emissions of volatile organic compounds—chemicals that evaporate easily from liquids like gasoline—during the process of loading fuel into vehicles or containers.
Why it matters: This is a mostly administrative action that stops the immediate threat of federal penalties against the county’s air quality program while the final paperwork is processed.
