Our Coalition
With the recent strengthening of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone, the Greater New Orleans Area is on the cusp of falling out of attainment for ozone. Using the example set by the Baton Rouge Clean Air Coalition and with the assistance of LDEQ, RPC formed the Greater New Orleans Clean Air Coalition. This is a coalition of local governments, state environmental agencies, relevant trade associations, businesses, industries, and ports who convene with the goal of finding the most effective ways to improve air quality, specifically focused on ozone.
