Public document edits | ||
¨ | Meets DEQ and Associated Press style guides, spelling, grammar, active voice | Change passive voice to active voice. E.g. “EPA’s rule was challenged.” Do not use a comma before the last item in a simple series (which constitutes a list of one-word items). Remove acronyms and parenthesese |
¨ | Balanced, professional tone, documents are clear and meet plain English requirements | Requested clarification and simple words throughout staff report.
For example, it’s unclear whether Oregon rules are independent from EPA rules. Consider use: “may not” vs. “must not” vs. “is not authorized” Suggested “remove” in place of “suspend” and “repeal” Undefined terms: attainment area, ambient air quality standards, Prevention of Significant Deterioration, best available control technology, radicall expand, render them un-administratable, biogenic, bioenergy
I recommend we explain what will happen if the rules expire or EQC does not remove the requirements in the temporary rulemaking. |
¨ | Consistent use of terms | Need consistent of terms such as: Source vs stationary source vs. major source vs. major emitting facility vs. facility vs. business amend vs. revise Supreme Court vs Court vs U.S. Supreme Court
|
¨ | Format standard met, format supports information conveyed | |
¨ | Includes recent document enhancements | Added back authorizing statute. Aligned EQC recommendation with staff report. |
¨ | Rules listed in Staff Report match Proposed Rules | |

IDENTIFY HOW WE PROPOSE CHANGES TO RULES
Identifying a rule: The following format identifies a rule where 0010 is the rule, 200 is the division and 340 is the chapter under the Oregon Revised Statutes.
340-200-0010
Purpose and Application
Identifying an amended rule: A rule is amended when it includes some text that is unchanged shown in black text in the example below.
340-200-0010
Purpose and Application
(1) This division provides general air pollution procedures and definitions that apply to all air quality rules in OAR 340 divisions 200 through 268.
(2) Divisions 200 through 268 apply in addition to all other rules adopted by the EQC. In cases of apparent conflict between rules within these divisions, the most stringent rule applies unless otherwise expressly stated.
Identifying an adopted rule: A rule is adopted when ALL sections of the rule are underlined. In the example below, the rule writer listed this rule as adopted, but there is some redline/strikethrough text. It is important to note these descrepancies.
340-202-0225
Ambient Air Quality Limits for Maintenance Areas
The following ambient air quality limits apply to the areas specified for the purpose of the air quality analysis in OAR 340-224-0060 and 340-224-0260, if required.
(1) In a carbon monoxide maintenance area, an air quality impact equal to or greater than 0.5 mg/m3 (8 hour average) and 2 mg/m3 (1-hour average).
(2) In a PM10 maintenance area, an air quality impact less than or equal to:
(a) 120 ug/m3 (24-hour average) in the Grants Pass PM10 maintenance area;
(b) 140 ug/m3 (24-hour average) in the Klamath Falls PM10 maintenance area; or
(c) 140 ug/m3 (24-hour average) in the Lakeview PM10 maintenance area. In addition, a single source impact is limited to an increase of 5 ug/m3 (24-hour average) in the Lakeview PM10 maintenance area.
