2000 farms agree to air quality monitoring (press release)

"Thousands of farms across the country have committed to participating in the air monitoring process, and, if necessary, take whatever steps are required to come into compliance with clean air standards," said Jon Scholl, agricultural adviser to the EPA administrator. "This broad participation is a major achievement. We now will move as quickly as possible to the monitoring and implementation stages."
The two-year monitoring study, expected to begin in early 2006, will provide EPA with the essential data needed to develop emissions estimating methods and tools, which will assist the industry and EPA in determining the air compliance status of AFOs. Participating AFOs will then be required to determine their emissions and comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. Under the agreement, EPA will not sue participating AFOs for certain violations of the Clean Air Act and the hazardous release reporting requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ( CERCLA ), and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act ( EPCRA ) that may have occurred during the two-year study.
