Subject: The Oregon Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) adopted standards that implement and in some cases go beyond new and amended federal air quality regulations, The objective of this rulemaking was to ensure that the emissions reductions required under the new and amended federal air quality regulations are made in Oregon, and to go beyond the federal regulations where further reductions are needed to protect Oregonians. The expected result of this rule is the maintenance of Oregon’s delegation of the federal standards, the use of low mercury coal and/or mercury controls in Oregon, and the reduction of benzene emissions in Oregon.
