EPA has tightened the national ambient air quality standards for both lead and ozone nationwide. Numerous industries will be affected and 345 counties are expected to be declared "non-attainment" areas for ozone. EPA itself does not know how much of the country violates the new lead standards. Over time, some facilities may have to close and cash flow projections will be affected. EPA estimates the cost of compliance for ozone alone will be $7.6 to $8.5 billion annually.For further details see our article on the new ozone standards and our article on the new lead standards. If you would like a list of the counties expected to be out of compliance for ozone, please email nwbernstein@nwbllc.com
