"California’s top environmental agency said it would “fill any enforcement gaps” left by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision last month to relax oversight in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) said in a statement Wednesday it would also continue to respond to, investigate, and act on violation complaints during the crisis.
The state agency didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment or details on how the state would fill in for federal oversight responsibilities."
