Gov. Tom Wolf on Monday gave the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) a six-week extension to develop a proposed rulemaking to allow Pennsylvania to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
Initially, the governor through executive action instructed DEP to develop a plan to present to the Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board (EQB) by July 31. Under the amended executive order, the deadline has been extended to Sept. 15, according to a press release.
Wolf said Monday that “amending this order will provide DEP with more time to develop a strong plan without impacting our over goals for implementing the regulation.”
