EPA Guidance Change
Joint Statement from Chairman Thomas Galvin and Supervisor Debbie Lesko
"After meeting with Maricopa County and our local partners, EPA is rescinding guidance that penalized states for air pollution beyond their control.
Both of us met with Administrator Lee Zeldin back in March to share with him how current guidance hurts our region and threatens our progress.
At that meeting, county leadership demonstrated how difficult it has been for states like Arizona to prove the impact of air pollution from international transport, and as a result, we risk more regulation.
As Administrator Zeldin said, today’s announcement is a step in the right direction for states looking to balance the need for clean air with the importance of economic development.
We applaud Administrator Zeldin for his swift response to our concerns and his commitment to working with us on revisions that work for Arizona. We would also like to thank Senator Mark Kelly for his leadership on this issue.”
