EPA Chief Lee Zeldin Moves to Clear Massive Biden-Era Agency Backlog to Improve Air Quality Faster

Breitbart

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on Wednesday announced he would move to clear the hundreds of backlogged cases to clean air, saying the Biden administration focused on “ideological pursuits” rather than the agency’s “core mission.”

The agency said it would commit to working with states and tribes to resolve the hundreds of backlogged State Implementation Plans (SIPs) and Tribal Implementation Plans (TIPs) the Biden-Harris administration could not or would not resolve. At the end of the Biden administration, there were 685 unresolved SIPs with 322 considered overdue.

“The Biden Administration’s focus on ideological pursuits instead of the agency’s core mission and statutory duties resulted in a delay of air quality improvement,” the EPA administrator wrote in a statement. “With more than 140 million Americans living in nonattainment areas around the country, cooperative federalism and clearing out the State Implementation Plan backlog will make significant strides to improving the air we breathe.”

A State Implementation, according to the EPA, is a collection of regulations and other documents used by a state or tribe to implement, maintain, or enforce the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and to fulfill other requirements of the Clean Air Act. MORE

  1. Mean while China pollutes the entire planet. Speaken of those wild and crazy Chicoms, I just read they have cancelled all their Beef Contracts with the United States. They plan on getting it from Canada and the Euroweenies I bet they didn’t cancel our Rice contracts. Since we’re about their only source. Time to crank up the tariffs on Rice.

  2. The whole Green movement is nothing but a huge money grab along with a way to weaken the West, primarily the United States. Hundreds of backlogged cases for clean air simply demonstrates that these fukkers stayed awake nights dreaming up new preposterous methods to destroy the United States!
