Inyo County Resolution
Passed and adopted unanimously by the Inyo County Board of
Supervisors. Mono County passed a similar resolution on
Tuesday April 11th.
EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee
Excerpt: "The CASAC requests reconsideration of the proposed ruling for
the level of the annual PM2.5 NAAQS so that the standard is set within the
range previously recommended by the PM Panel, i.e., 13 to 14 µg/m3. The
CASAC also recommends that the proposed 24-hour PM10-2.5 primary
standard be accompanied by a national monitoring program for PM10-2.5 in
both urban and rural areas to aid in informing future health and welfare
effects studies on rural dusts. Moreover, the CASAC strongly recommends
expansion of our knowledge of the toxicity of PM10-2.5 dusts rather than
exempting specific industries (e.g., mining, agriculture). Finally, the
CASAC requests that the sub-daily secondary standard to protect
visibility, as recommended both in the PM Staff Paper and by the CASAC, be
favorably reconsidered."
