Subject: EQC: Director's report question about LRAPA item

Importance: Normal

Hi Andrea,

Dick wanted to know a little more about the LRAPA item – specifically, what are the public comment requirements that weren’t met? Scope of the comment period? Length? Need for a hearing? Whatever detail you know might be helpful.

Thanks!

Taken from:

Typically, DEQ submits LRAPA rules to the Environmental Quality Commission for incorporation into the State Implementation Plan upon adoption by the LRAPA Board. However, in this case, DEQ determined that the public notice process held jointly by DEQ and LRAPA several years ago did not meet requirements for State Implementation Plan rules, which are above and beyond requirements for normal rulemaking.
