Oppose the BART rule exemption being considered by the EPA, which will hurt our national parks and wilderness areas.

In December 2011, EPA proposed a BART rule exemption that will allow 28 states in the eastern US to avoid compliance with the BART program. EPA will instead allow these states to rely on emissions reductions they may make under the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) in order to satisfy their obligations under the BART program to protect Class I air quality. While CSAPR will result in significant air quality benefits for many eastern states, it will NOT require some of the most egregious polluters of iconic Class I national landscapes to clean up their pollution to the same level that would be required under BART. Tell the Obama Administration to support the full implementation of BART, and enforce CSAPR in addition to it, not instead of it. Read more at www.earthjustice.org.
