The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently finalized a plan for Texas to address serious air pollution that is negatively impacting visibility at the Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks in Texas. States are required to have plans for reducing haze at national parks and wilderness areas under the federal Clean Air Act.
EPA prepared a plan for Texas after rejecting a plan that the state submitted in 2009 that would not have required new pollution controls at any Texas power plants. The new plan known informally as the Regional Haze rule will mandate cuts in sulfur dioxide emissions at several of Texas’ coal-fired power plants.
