The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering a proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This proposal would update how several central Pennsylvania cities—specifically Harrisburg, Lebanon, Carlisle, and York—manage air quality standards for fine particulate matter (PM2.5).
Why it matters: This is largely an administrative update required by the Clean Air Act to keep the state’s air quality management plan current. It ensures that local air pollution levels for fine particles remain within federal limits.
Who it affects
- Residents and businesses in the Harrisburg, Lebanon, Carlisle, and York areas
