CALIFORNIA PLAN MAY BE MODEL TO TARGET EMISSIONS IMPAIRING WATERS

A novel California effort to develop an approach for regulating air depositions that pollute waterbodies could serve as a national model for addressing the long-standing problem of controlling emissions that cause most waterbody impairments, observers say. California air and water regulators are currently developing a workplan that will identify the roadblocks to regulating air emissions as water pollutants, and how new research and improved partnerships among the state's air and water boards could aid in solving the problem. One state...
