Environmentalists say a new plan to clean up the soot-laden air in California's farm belt would fail to adequately regulate agricultural sources of pollution.
Critics of the plan unfurled white prayer flags Wednesday outside the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's meeting in Fresno to illustrate the premature deaths they say are associated with the valley's polluted air.
If the California Air resources Board sanctions the plan, it will head to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for final approval.
But the district likely will have to approach the issue again soon,since the EPA plans to address the valley's compliance with the 2006standards later this year.
