Max and Robbye,

Hi! I’m pleased to send you the key documents and plan for our proposal to add LRAPA rules to the SIP. I’d appreciate a quick review, mostly to help me ensure there are no errors. Also, one question: Is it possible for someone from LRAPA to speak about the rules at the EQC meeting in March along with DEQ staff?

I edited the documents you provided me and pulled out information that didn’t seem key for DEQ’s proposal. I’m the least familiar with the information in the PM2.5.GHG rulemaking. I’m giving everything to Andy for review tomorrow, plus additional outreach material required for rulemaking. Our advice from Paul Garrahan was to consider this rulemaking in light of events that have occurred since LRAPA’s adoption several years ago. I’m not all that familiar with what events might’ve happened in Lane County since LRAPA’s adoption.

Schedule:

Approx. 11/22/2013 DEQ will send LRAPA a letter authorizing LRAPA to hold hearings. This letter also includes a statement of stringency review for the PM2.5/GHG rules. (Draft letter is attached).

12/11/2013 EQC meeting – We’re giving EQC a brief update on the status of the rulemakings
