Table of Contents
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing a change to how four specific air quality districts in California handle their operating permits. These districts are Amador County, Calaveras County, Great Basin Unified, and Northern Sierra.
Why it matters: This is a technical administrative change that narrows the legal excuses available to companies when they violate air permit requirements during an emergency.
Who it affects
- Industrial facilities and businesses operating within Amador, Calaveras, Great Basin Unified, or Northern Sierra districts
This is a proposed rule from the EPA; readers should consult the Federal Register to see the full text before relying on these changes.
