| The US appeals court said the same stringent rules must apply in all areas of nonattainment, even areas/counties that were reclassified as nonattainment areas when EPA moved to an eight-hour rule. For instance, South Lane County Fire and Rescue's board voted Wednesday to adopt the eight-hour rule, and institute a zero-tolerance policy for all alcohol, narcotics and medication, either prescription or over-the-counter, that could affect a firefighter's performance while on duty, Olsen said.
