Air Quality
With the execution of the Early Action Compact in December 2002, the County Councils of Anderson, Greenville, and Spartanburg Counties set in motion a series of activities toward achieving emissions reductions under the new standards established by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for air quality. By signing the Compact, the three Counties viewed their participation in the EAC as a proactive means of achieving compliance with the 8-hour ground level ozone standard ahead of the federally-mandated compliance date, while avoiding unnecessary and burdensome federal restrictions that normally apply to non-attainment areas.
The Progress Report contains a list of strategies to improve air quality in the Upstate. This local Progress Report is the result of achieving milestones included in the EAC signed by Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg Counties in December 2002. Progress Reports for the Early Action State Implementation Plan are due to EPA semiannually in June and December.
