Comment submitted by AltmanNewman Co. LPA on the Proposed Approval of the Ohio Air Nuisance Rule Removal

Summary: The comment is submitted on behalf of several individuals and environmental organizations, including the Sierra Club and the Ohio Environmental Council, who oppose the removal of the Ohio Air Nuisance Rule (ANR) from the State Implementation Plan. They argue that the ANR is a vital tool for protecting fenceline communities from pollution, that the state's request to remove it is based on an unconstitutional mandate, and that the U.S. EPA's proposed rule ignores previous court findings and the rule's historical role in enforcing National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
