CALIFORNIA PLAN MAY BE MODEL FOR TARGETING 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 but are not typically accounted for under water-specific regulatory programs, state and other 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...
