Smog Reduction Rules Need Your Support

People now have the opportunity to weigh in and support strong smog reductions in the Denver metro area. The Air Quality Control Commission is accepting public comment on a proposal that would ratchet down on emissions of smog forming compounds from oil and gas developments north of Denver. The notice is online here.

Also, for those who really want to get involved, the Notice explains what one needs to do to gain party status to the rulemaking. What does being a "party" mean? It essentially means your voice will be more powerful, but it gives you the opportunity to present testimony, file motions, cross-examine, and weigh in in a more formal manner. Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action intends to become a party to the rulemaking. This will enable us to speak effectively on behalf of clean air, rebut industry arguments against protecting clean air, and hopefully secure strong smog reductions for our health.

Keep posted for a more detailed alert on where you can send comments.
