AGC Sums Up Why Tighter Federal Air Standards May Mean Construction Bans

Over the last few years, EPA has consistently tightened its national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM), ozone and nitrogen dioxide (see related stories in the January issue of the Environmental Observer).  AGC has closely tracked and weighed in on these rulemaking actions with an eye to what they may mean for future construction, including stricter requirements and/or restrictions on diesel engines and their use.  Follow AGC's action by reading the entire Environmental Observer article here.  For more information, contact Leah Pilconis at pilconisl@agc.org.
