Dear Senator Dingfelder,

Dear Representative Bailey,
Rep.JulesBailey@state.or.us
The Department of Environmental Quality is proposing rules that will modify the state’s air quality plan known as the State Implementation Plan.
The Department of Environmental Quality is proposing rules that will modify the state’s air quality plan known as the State Implementation Plan. Proposed amendments include adoption of 1-hour Significant Impact Levels for nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, adoption of primary 1-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standards for nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, and revision of the existing ambient air quality standard for lead. The proposed rule changes are necessary to ensure that the Oregon DEQ’s Air Quality Division has adequate authority to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. If adopted by the EQC in October of this year, the proposed changes will be submitted to the EPA for approval as revisions to infrastructure elements of the Oregon Clean Air Act State Implementation Plan.
The proposal is online at http://www.deq.state.or.us/regulations/proposedrules.htm. DEQ is accepting public comment on the proposal until Monday, August 19, 2013. If you have questions or comments, please contact Carrie Capp at capp.carrie@deq.state.or.us or 503-229-5868.
Sincerely,
Andrea Curtis
Air Quality Division Rules Coordinator
