 Earthjustice: Newsroom
In the settlement, the EPA agreed to find that California was not implementing the Clean Air Act and will propose to withdraw its December 7, 2001, approval of California’s Title V program that granted an exemption to agricultural sources of air pollution.
Agriculture has been shielded from state regulation by a provision of state law that prohibits local air districts from requiring permits for "any equipment used in agricultural operations in the growing of crops or the raising of fowl or animals." No other state in the country specifically exempts agricultural operations from air pollution permitting requirements.
Now that California agriculture is no longer exempt from the Clean Air Act, it is going to have to become part of the solution instead of the problem when it comes to air quality in the Central Valley.
