Pollution Standards Amendments

HB 564 sets annual emissions limits for industrial facilities in four Utah counties (Davis, Salt Lake, Utah, and Weber) that are designated as "major nonattainment areas" for air pollution. The bill establishes specific yearly caps: 1,418 tons of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) and 8,870 tons of nitrogen oxides. These limits apply directly to point sources like factories and power plants in those counties. The law takes effect on May 6, 2026, and does not appropriate new funding.
