Two environmental groups sued the Environmental Protection Agency today for failing to ensure that adequate plans are in place to control pollution from the oil and methane gas industry in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, home to almost 35 million people.
The three states are part of the “ozone transport region” created by Congress in 1990 because states in the Northeast are dependent on each other to reduce ozone and its precursors.

Lawsuit Launched to Fight EPA’s Delay in Reducing Air Pollution From Oil, Methane Gas Industries in Six States
Areas Include California, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
WASHINGTON Two conservation groups filed a formal notice today of their intent to sue the Environmental Protection Agency for failing to ensure that adequate plans are in place to control air pollution from the oil and methane gas industry in six states.
Six areas of California and the New York City metropolitan area have failed to meet basic air-quality standards for ozone. The state of New York and four other eastern states have also not met requirements for what Congress has designated as the “ozone transport region,” across which states must work together to effectively reduce ozone and its precursors.
Substance abuse counseling Every level of counseling listed above requires less time commitment as you go down the list. You can participate in any or all of these addiction treatments. It will vary from facility to facility, but, generally speaking, treatments take place several days a week for a few hours every day. Times are often flexible. This is often the best treatment plan for those who are able to hold down a job or who have small children people who cannot be away from their everyday lives in large chunks while they recover. It’s also a popular choice for students who are struggling with addiction. While this is a great option for many patients, some people struggle in outpatient care because they are still surrounded by people and places that support or caused their substance abuse.
