Incorporate Lane Regional Air Protection Agency rules into the State Implementation Plan

DEQ is proposing a rulemaking to incorporate LRAPA rules into Oregon’s State Implementation Plan in Oregon Administrative Rule 340-200-0040. The LRAPA rules were previously amended and adopted by the LRAPA Board of Directors and have been in effect in Lane County since their adoption. DEQ is holding a 30-day public comment period beginning in December 2013 and has authorized LRAPA to act as hearings officer on behalf of the Environmental Quality Commission for public comment. DEQ plans to bring its rulemaking to the EQC for adoption in March 2014.

This rulemaking proposes state adoption of four different rulemakings adopted by the LRAPA Board of Directors:

•  Open Burning: LRAPA Title 47 adopted March 14, 2008

•  Industrial Streamlining Rules: LRAPA Titles 12, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 44, 46, 48, 49, and 50 adopted October 14, 2008

•  Industrial Streamlining Rules Updates and Corrections: LRAPA Titles 12, 13, 30, 31, 34, 37, 38, 40, and 44 adopted January 12, 2010.

•  New Source Review, Particulate Matter 2.5 and Greenhouse Gas Permitting Requirements:: LRAPA Titles 13, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38, 40, 46, and 50 adopted April 25, 2011
