State keeps lax air standards extended waiver
Environmental Conservation Secretary Martin Johnson Friday extended a waiver of Vermont air quality standards until November 1. Fuel dealers told Johnson it is impossible to supply low sulfur fuels for industrial use to Vermont and New England, as sulfur content may rise from 1.5 to 2.5 percent. Johnson urged Gov. Salmon and regional officials to seek a region wide agreement while warning that violations would not be tolerated. Dealers said they would try to obtain lower sulfur oil if regulators allow flexibility, noting shifting supplies could help meet federal standards this winter.
