Subject: Call to discuss the LRAPA/ODEQ Delegation of Authority Language and upcoming submittal for LRAPA rule update

Hi Andrea, I am looking for the best time for to have a phone call with ODEQ and LRAPA.

This is in regards to continuing work on the project where LRAPA rules will be submitted by ODEQ for incorporation into the SIP. This call would be to discuss in more detail, so EPA can come to a better understanding, the LRAPA/ODEQ Delegation of Authority Language, and the vision for how this relationship would work going forward. We will need to understand exactly how rules from ODEQ and LRAPA will work together and when it would be clear that ODEQ rules would trump what is in LRAPAs rules to aid in the review of the submittal that we understand you are talking to the EQC very soon, and expect to submit to EPA this May.

It would also be good to begin thinking about any future changes, if needed to clean up LRAPA rules regarding the provisions that we cannot approve. If we are satisfied that the ODEQ rules, once those are in order with respect to the SILs and SMCs, do apply appropriately for LRAPA, then what would be best regarding the provisions that are on LRAPA books for SILs and SMCs.

I have identified a couple of possible times below, and I have verified that these two times will work for LRAPA as well. Can you let me know if one of these times will work for those from ODEQ that I have included in this email. Also identify if there are other ODEQ staff who should be included.

Thursday 4/10 @ 11:00am - 12:30pm

Monday 4/21 @ 12:30pm - 2:00pm

Thanks!!
