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 incorporate Lane Regional Air Protection Agency rules into OAR 340-200-0040 as part of Oregon’s State Implementation Plan. This includes LRAPA rules for open burning, permit streamlining, and permitting requirements for PM2.5 and greenhouse gases including new source review and prevention of significant deterioration, as well as national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. These amendments, if adopted, will be submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency for approval and as a revision to the State Implementation Plan, as required by the Clean Air Act.

DEQ will hold a public hearing on the proposed rule changes on January 21, 2014 at 5:30 p.m. at 1010 Main Street, Springfield, Oregon 97477. Oral and written comments will be accepted at the hearing. There are three rulemaking packages. Copies of the proposed rule packages may be obtained online at http://www.oregon.gov/deq/RulesandRegulations/Pages/2013/RulemakingActivities.aspx or from the Air Quality Division in Portland, 811 SW 6^th Avenue, Portland, OR 97204, or by contacting Andrea Gartenbaum at (503) 229-5946. Written comments may be submitted anytime to the above address, but must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 24, 2014.
