NASDA COMMENTS ON EPA DUST PROPOSAL
News Date August 17, 2010
NASDA this week submitted comments to EPA as the agency reviews Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NASDA and a host of other agricultural organizations, as well as Members of Congress, are concerned that EPA could use the review to implement a more stringent standard for course particulate matter, including agricultural dust. This would significantly impact agricultural producers, particularly in the arid West, and would make attainment of State Implementation Plans under the Clean Air Act much more difficult.
