Introduction
The Division of Air Quality continues to be committed to improving Utah's air quality. Historically, we've been able to meet the challenges of tougher federal standards to help Utahns breathe easier and live healthier.
This past year, we saw significant progress with a range of emission reduction initiatives. By partnering with other state agencies and industry, the Division of Air Quality's Utah Clean Diesel Program expanded its retrofits of old school buses to include farm equipment and engines. And most recently, with the receipt of an EPA grant, we will be working to re-power diesel delivery trucks with new natural gas engines. We continue to develop common-sense solutions to meet EPA's stronger standards for ozone and particulate pollution so that all Utahns in every part of our great state can breathe easier and live healthier.
