Werner Jim Testomony FINAL Nov 2005 Senate EPW Subcommittee on Clean AirJim Werner
- The director of Delaware's Division of Air and Waste Management testified before Congress about implementing national air quality standards for particulate matter and ozone.
- Delaware faces significant air pollution challenges as a small, downwind state receiving pollution from upwind sources. However, Delaware is pursuing various regulations and initiatives to reduce emissions within the state to improve air quality.
- While implementation of air quality standards comes with costs, studies consistently show the substantial health and economic benefits of cleaner air outweigh the costs. Delaware urges consideration of both costs and benefits when evaluating compliance schedules.
- James D. Werner, Director of Delaware's Air and Waste Management Division, testified before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works about EPA's proposed revision to lower the ground-level ozone standard.
- While Delaware faces challenges in meeting the current ozone standard due to its downwind location receiving air pollution from other states, Werner expressed support for lowering the standard further in accordance with EPA's independent scientific advisory committee's recommendation.
- Werner raised concerns that EPA did not fully follow its scientific advisory committee's advice in proposing to lower the standard only slightly rather than more substantially as recommended, noting this was the second time EPA had not fully followed its committee's recommendation.
