BREAKING Utah Gov. Cox asks EPA to expand pollution non-attainment zone to include U.S. Magnesium on the Great Salt Lake.
"Utah has made significant strides in improving air quality over the past 10 years, but as our state continues to grow, we need to begin to look more strategically at opportunities to continue this trajectory," Gov. Cox said Monday in a statement."This intentional approach gives us a focused range of tools that align with the outcome we all want - cleaner air and a better quality of life for Utahns.
"U.S. Magnesium’s emissions have been zero for the last six months and nearly zero for the past year," said Tom Tripp, the company's director of technical services, adding that PM 2.5 has not changed since then."We think the emissions that have been reported recently have been erroneous." "I am encouraged by this move. Including a major polluter that is just outside of the already established lines into the nonattainment area just makes sense," Rep. Stoddard said in a text message to FOX 13 News."While I am excited by this important news I also want to see action taken to address bromine emissions from US Magnesium which are not currently regulated by the EPA but contribute to almost 1/4 of our winter inversion issue.
