Bullshit Business-As-Usual For Arizona Environmental Quality???

Say What? Opportunities to offset emissions????
Heads Ups, folks . . . Hold on just one minute and pay attention:
the first question should be What is getting done to reduce the sources of the toxic emissions that are dangerous to our health - the air we breathe is contaminated and unsafe for far too many days here in Arizona and Maricopa County, where federal clean air standards are consistently violated year-after-year after year!
Is that news to anyone here in The Valley of Dirty Air?

Stakeholder Meeting

Proposed Changes to Arizona Emissions Bank Rules
ADEQ invites you to attend a stakeholder meeting for the development of state rules for Arizona's voluntary emissions bank.
ADEQ seeks your input and ideas in amending the Arizona Administrative Code, Title 18, Chapter 2, Article 12
 
BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the legislature amended the existing emissions bank statute (A.R.S. Section 49-410 or HB2152) to allow for new types of emissions reductions credits to be deposited in the bank. The amendments directed ADEQ to adopt rules implementing these changes.
The rules will help promote Arizona as a more attractive option for companies seeking to locate or expand industrial operations while still maintaining healthy air quality.
PLEASE NOTE: This stakeholder meeting will be hosted in Yuma, which is currently not meeting national particulate matter air quality standards and the new ozone standards. Establishing the emissions bank rules, with your input, will provide businesses looking to locate in Yuma an opportunity to offset their emissions.

When: Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2018, 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Where: Yuma County Development Services
Aldrich Hall
2351 W 26th St
Yuma, AZ 85364
