The Farmington City Council worked through a list of six bills and a resolution when it met late last week. The resolution was the council’s response to an Missouri Department of Natural Resources proposal to include St. Francois County in the St. Louis Nonattainment Area — a designation pertaining to air quality — and was perhaps a topic which could have long-ranging effects.
WINDOW ROCK — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is being asked to accept new evidence that shows the permitting process for the proposed Desert Rock power plant did not take into account ozone pollution levels that are already above federal air quality standards.
Starting in April of this year the Environmental Protection Agency began looking at including Ste. Genevieve and Perry counties in the St. Louis Nonattainment Area regarding air pollution. Now it appears as if the federal agency is trying to draw St. Francois and Cape Girardeau counties into the same group of tight restrictions.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is accepting public comment on the proposed 2008 Ozone Nonattainment Boundary Recommendations for the Kansas City area.
