After more than 10 years on the EPA’s watchlist, Cache Valley is meeting federal PM2.5 air pollution standards. While the “attainment” designation won’t be official until a few more steps, including public comment periods, Cache Valley is the first nonattainment area in Utah to clear that bar. “It doesn’t mean that all our problems are solved and that we don’t have work still to do,” said Jeff Gilbert, transportation planner for the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization. “But it’s kind of a good sign, I think, something to celebrate, that we’ve met the standard.” × Advertisement After Cache Valley’s nonattainment designation is lifted, it is expected to enter a “maintenance” regulatory phase. The EPA will still be watching PM2.5 levels in Cache and Franklin counties, Gilbert said, but bad air days won’t mean that local officials have to go all the way back to the drawing board.
