KRC and allies submit public comments on Kentucky’s proposed regional haze plan

KRC recently joined with National Parks Conservation Association, Sierra Club, and other groups to draft and submit public comments on Kentucky’s proposed regional haze plan, which fell short on the state’s obligation to reduce haze pollution at Mammoth Cave National Park. In our comments, we urged the DAQ to revise their plan to include more polluters, set stricter emission limits, and prioritize health and equity. You can read our comments here. 

 

As recently reported by the Kentucky Lantern, despite its natural beauty, Mammoth Cave is one of the most haze-affected national parks in the country. Read the coverage here: Kentucky urged to curb air pollution that makes Mammoth Cave one of the haziest national parks.
