KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) – It’s clearear skies and fresher air for the Treasure state, thanks to new environmental efforts. Due in part to newly shuttered coal plants and modern industrial controls, state environmental officials expect significant reductions through 2028 in at least two major pollutants that haze up an otherwise clear Big Sky.
Formal efforts to reduce haze in the areas come via 10-year plans. The DEQ is now accepting public comment on the new plan through March 21, with a public hearing set for March 18 in Helena and online.
