Air quality concerns over natural gas drilling
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is in the news in Utah quite a bit in the past few days.
Last week, according to a Salt Lake Tribune story yesterday, the EPA decided the environmental study was inadequate for the Nine Mile Canyon natural gas drilling project. Today, in a longer story, the Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that the project should stop until the study is rewritten to include more information on air quality because the draft study “didn’t satisfy requirements of the Clean Air Act.”
