Can We Be Good Neighbors? EPA Finalizes Plan to Reduce Interstate Air Pollution

On March 15, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued its final updated Good Neighbor Plan. According to the agency, “the Plan will secure significant reductions in ozone-forming emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from power plants and industrial facilities.” The EPA estimates that compliance with the Plan will “save thousands of lives and result in cleaner air and better health for millions of people living in downwind communities.”
