that is one basis on which the epa intends to withdraw the waiver for california's state programs. separate and apart from that, epa is withdrawing the waiver based on our interpretation and application of one of the criteria for denying a waiver. does the state need its standards to meet compelling and extraordinary conditions? origin in in its context, the california waiver authority exists because california has uniquely bad problems with small-forming pollutants. there is a direct and tight link between california cars and their emissions criteria of pollutants, the local concentrations of those emissions, and the impact they have on california due to the state's extraordinary perfect storm of features like population, traffic, temperature, wind, ocean currents, and typography. but for greenhouse gases, the type and direct link is not there. california cars have no closer link to california climate impacts than do cars on the road in japan or anywhere else in the world, and california's climate impacts are not extraordinarily distinct from those felt in wayr states in the same

the epa said california has been ignoring several requirements of the clean air act for years. oddly enough, just last week, the epa joined with the transportation department in revoking california's right to set stricter pollution limits on cars and light trucks. california's attorney general joined with environmental groups to file a lawsuit against the trump administration. it speaks to overtime a decision made earlier this year by the epa that removed the redwood city salt ponds from protection under the federal clean water act. the lawsuit said the developer asked the epa to eliminate protections for the ponds so they can build on the land. >>> santa clara county top health official announced two people have died recently from the flu. one was an adult with underlying chronic illness. the other was a child who traveled overseas. health officials say they are the first flu deaths in santa clara county red earli than usual. >>> what we know is we don't usually see flu deaths in september today we are reporting two flu deaths. whether this indicates an early season, we don't
