New Clean Air Laws Threaten Kansas Businesses
Kansas officials warn a draft federal EPA rule could force 2000 businesses to meet new emission standards with a deadline of 31 December 1973 and possible until 31 July 1975 extensions for some. Saiger says many firms may not realize violations in time to seek extensions while 2400 major sources and up to 1500 smaller emitters face compliance. The rule, if adopted, shifts control from state to federal agencies, requiring direct dealings with federal officials.
