As January closes, we take a quick look at the highlights (or lowlights, depending on your perspective) of actions taken by the US Environmental Protection Agency in the first month of 2010. Noteworthy actions included:
- EPA proposes revisions to smog (ozone) standard
- EPA to issue new standard for nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
- EPA rejects confidentiality claims for toxic chemicals
- EPA announces tip line for bad behavior in oil and gas drilling operations

Yes, we’ve been a bit slack in keeping up with blog posts over the past month or so. Look for that to change – barring unforeseen emergencies, like a hurricane aimed toward S. Florida or a greatly accelerated pace of global climate change – as we leave the languishing months of summer behind.
Among other categories of posts, we are initiating a compliance “tip of the week” that will provide guidance on complying with environmental requirements that affect broad segments of the regulated public. Let us know whether you find these tips useful, or if you’d like to see guidance on other specific topics.
