These amendments will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to the State Implementation Plan, which is a requirement of the federal Clean Air Act. The attainment plan specifies how the community will meet the particulate standard by the federal Clean Air Act deadline of December 2014, including who will conduct the work, and when and how it will be done. The attainment plan, based on recommendations from DEQ’s citizen advisory committee, is a comprehensive mixture of emission reduction strategies consisting of local ordinances, DEQ regulations, and non-regulatory elements including incentives and education. The rules increase regulatory flexibility by allowing new or expanded industrial facilities in Klamath Falls to meet existing federal requirements to offset their emissions by removing woodstoves from homes, thereby decreasing wood burning emissions. The rules also include other requirements for industries in the area, woodstove requirements, and updated definitions.
