Connecticut removes two old pollution orders, adds a new one for a shipyard

Connecticut is updating its air pollution control plan by removing two old orders from the 1980s and adding a new one from 2021. This means two companies no longer have specific pollution rules from decades ago, while a shipyard now has new rules to follow.

Environmental regulations are often a patchwork of old and new rules. This document shows how states update these plans, removing outdated requirements and adding new ones for different industries. It means that enforcement priorities can shift over time, focusing on current polluters rather than historical ones.
