Environmental Protection Agency September 17, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve a revision to the Nevada Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) to document that the existing plan is adequate to achieve established goals for visibility improvement and emissions reductions by 2018. The Nevada Regional Haze SIP revision addresses the Regional Haze Rule (RHR) requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to submit a report describing progress in achieving reasonable progress goals (RPGs) to improve visibility in federally designated Class I areas in Nevada and in nearby states that may be affected by emissions from sources in Nevada. EPA is proposing to approve Nevada's determination that the existing Nevada Regional Haze Implementation Plan is adequate to meet the visibility goals, and requires no substantive revision at this time.
