The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces the deletion of the Midvale Slag Superfund Site (Site), located in Salt Lake County, Utah, from the National Priorities List (NPL).

Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; State of Arkansas; Regional Haze and Interstate Visibility Transport Federal Implementation Plan
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) to address certain regional haze and visibility transport requirements for the State of Arkansas. This FIP would address the requirements of the Regional Haze Rule (RHR) and interstate visibility transport for those portions of Arkansas' State Implementation Plan (SIP) we disapproved in our final action published on March 12, 2012. Specifically, the proposed FIP addresses the requirements for Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) for those sources for which we did not approve Arkansas' BART determinations, Reasonable Progress Goals (RPGs), reasonable progress controls and a long-term strategy, as well as the interstate visibility transport requirements for pollutants that affect visibility in Class I areas in nearby states. Specific to the reasonable progress controls requirement, we are proposing in the alternative two options for controlling the emissions from the Entergy Independence Plant that is not subject to BART. Under Option 1, we are proposing controls for emissions of SO2, and NOX. If we take final action on this finding, the source will be subject to controls for both pollutants. Alternatively, under Option 2, we are proposing controls for only emissions of SO2 for this planning period. In particular, we are soliciting comments on the alternate proposed Options 1 and 2.
