US EPA Announces Intention to Move Forward with 2015 Ozone Designations

Update as of August 2017: US EPA Announces Intention to Move Forward with 2015 Ozone Designations.

In June 2017, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decided to delay the implementation of new ground-level ozone standard enacted during the Obama administration.

Providence has issued a PROVision to interpret what this decision means for the Greater Baton Rouge area. Click HERE to read our insight.
