Why should any state comply with what the EPA says? The EPA was created by executive order. Nobody wanted it or voted for it, and it makes up its own rules and laws to impose on people who never had a say in the decision.
I didn't know that, but by golly, it is true. Nixon did that.
I guess I shouldn't have been skeptical, Bush created the DHS.
It is not that simple. The EPA was created to implement the legislation of 1970 Clean Air Act by Congress. Other legislature by Congress was also assigned to the EPA to implement.
To clarify, the 1970 legislation was preceded by the Clean Air Acts of 1963 and the Air Quality Act of 1967 by Congress.
