Clean Air Action Plan - EPA Advance Path Forward
Posted by admin on Feb. 3, 2014 / EPA Advance Program / Subscribe 0
A Clean Air Action Report for the Baton Rouge area has been prepared as a joint effort by the Baton Rouge Clean Air Coalition (BRCAC), the Capital Region Planning Commission (CRPC), and Louisiana Clean Fuels (LCF). These three organizations have been formally recognized by EPA as representatives for the Baton Rouge area in the EPA’s Advance Program, which is a collaborative effort between EPA, states, tribes, and local governments. The program encourages expeditious emission reductions in ozone and fine particle (PM2.5) attainment areas to help these areas continue to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
The objectives of this report are:
- To characterize the Baton Rouge area with respect to its air quality
- To document the progress the Baton Rouge area has made in air quality improvements and the many efforts that have been made to realize those improvements, and
- To present a plan for future efforts to further improve Baton Rouge area air quality in order to meet EPA’s requirement for a “Path Forward” plan within its Advance Program.
