The Ohio EPA recently submitted comments suggesting changes to the Ohio EPA regarding their draft rules to comply with Cleveland’s incoming downgrade to serious-nonattainment status for nitrogen oxides (NOx). Federal law requires the Ohio EPA to implement new regulations on the Northeast Ohio region that will place restrictions on air emissions until the area is in compliance with Clean Air Act requirements. The OMA will continue to push for workable rules for manufacturers as the agency weights policies to comply with federal law. 3/6/2024
