EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, submitted by the State of Alaska on April 4, 2011, as meeting the requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) sections169A and 169B, and Federal Regulations 40 CFR 51.308, to implement a regional haze program in the State of Alaska for the first planning period through July 31, 2018.

• Using Alaska V. Epa to Unmask the Clean Air Act

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (AEDC) and Teck Cominco Alaska, Inc. (Cominco) sought review of three enforcement orders that were entered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) effectively invalidating a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit that the ADEC had issued to Cominco. In granting review, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the ADEC's ability to use its permitting authority so as to reduce total offensive emissions from an operation and enforced the EPA's contrary determination that clarified the relationship between state and federal environmental authorities in the enforcement of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Alaska further appealed its case and certiorari was granted by the US Supreme Court. In a five to four decision, the Cour...

• Oil From Wrecked Freighter Spreads to Populated Area

ANCHORAGE, Alaska Fuel oil from the Selendang Ayu has reached the fishing community of Dutch Harbor, 50 miles from the wreckage of the grounded freighter, prompting new concerns about the effect of last month's spill off the western coast of Unalaska Island. Obviously the extent of contamination has grown substantially," Leslie Pearson, a spill response official with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, said Thursday. "It makes you wonder what other shoreline impacts there may be.
