A Boost for Clean Air in the Metro Area

Back in March, Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action and Natural Resources Defense Council put Kerr-McGee on notice that the oil and gas company was utterly failing to keep smog forming pollution in check at several of its natural gas compressor stations north of Denver.

At the heels of this, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has announced that Kerr-McGee has not only agreed to install pollution controls at its compressor stations, but to further reduce smog forming pollution in the Denver metro area.

The settlement is a boost for clean air in Denver and shows how citizen pressure can help spur the government to hold polluters accountable.
