What RCAC is
On December 12, 2003, County Mayors from Anderson, Blount, Cocke, Grainger, Hamblen, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon, Roane, Sevier and Union Counties signed into and created the Regional Clean Air Coalition (RCAC), agreeing to coordinate efforts to improve air quality throughout the region. The RCAC consists of committees formed by representatives from government, business and industry, educational institutions and the general public throughout the multi-county Knoxville region collectively focused on creating, promoting and implementing strategies to improve air quality.
