Summary
The EPA is canceling its previous approval of Michigan's plan to meet federal air quality standards for ozone pollution. This means Michigan will need to revise its air quality improvement strategy to address smog and ground-level ozone that harms people's health, especially those with asthma and respiratory problems.
Key Points
- 1The EPA is withdrawing approval of a specific part of Michigan's ozone pollution control plan that was supposed to be finalized in 2015
- 2Michigan will need to create a new or revised air quality plan to reduce ozone levels in areas that don't meet federal clean air standards
- 3Ozone pollution (smog) affects air quality and can cause breathing problems, lung damage, and other health issues for Michigan residents
- 4This rejection likely means Michigan's air quality improvement timeline will be delayed while the state develops a better plan
- 5The change applies to Element E (State Board Requirements), a specific technical section of Michigan's ozone control strategy
