“[F]ield burning can cause serious environmental and health effects.... Scientific studies — along with thousands of complaints — indicate that smoke is unhealthy.... Exposure to fine particles, either alone or combined with other air pollutants, has been linked to difficulty in breathing, aggravated asthma, increased emergency room visits and hospital admissions, and, in some cases, premature deaths.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“In approving [the 2005] amendment to Idaho's SIP, EPA understood it to be a clarification of existing state law and the SIP, governing open burning of crop residue. EPA's action to approve Idaho's SIP revision request therefore did not relax Idaho's pre-existing SIP with respect to open burning of crop residue, or any control requirements in the SIP that had been in effect before November 15, 1990.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“The proposed SIP revision is merely a clarification of the existing SIP and does not change or otherwise relax an existing control measure and therefore will not interfere with any applicable requirements concerning attainment and reasonable further progress or other applicable requirement of the Act. EPA believes that the requirement of section 110( l ) is satisfied.”
