NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AIR QUALITY RULE AMENDMENTS
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is proposing that the Environmental Quality Commission adopt rules that implement new and amended federal air quality regulations. The objectives of this rulemaking are to protect public health, implement federally-revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards for oxides of nitrogen, oxides of sulfur and lead, and to update the Oregon Clean Air Act State Implementation Plan.
These amendments, if adopted, will be submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval and as a revision to the State Implementation Plan, which is a requirement of the Clean Air Act.
The Department will hold a public hearing on the proposed rule changes on August 15, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. in room EQC-B on the tenth floor at DEQ’s Headquarters Office, 811 SW 6th Avenue, Portland, Oregon. Oral and written comments will be accepted at the hearing.
Copies of the proposed rule package may be obtained online at http://www.deq.state.or.us/news/publicnotices/PN.asp or from the Air Quality Division in Portland, 811 SW 6th Avenue, Portland, OR 97204, or by contacting Carrie Capp at (503) 229-5868. Written comments may be submitted anytime to the above address, but must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on August 19, 2013.
