Air Quality Rule Changes and Updates - Training – Advance Notice
Greetings,
You are invited to participate in a training session hosted by Oregon DEQ to review recently adopted air quality rule revisions. The rulemaking was organized into the following topics:
1. Clarify and update air quality rules
2. Update particulate matter emission standards
3. Change permitting requirements for emergency generators and small natural gas or oil-fired equipment
4. Establish two new state air quality area designations, “sustainment” and “reattainment,” to help areas avoid and more quickly end a federal nonattainment designation
5. Designate Lakeview as a state sustainment area while retaining its federal attainment designation
6. Change the New Source Review preconstruction permitting program
7. Modernize methods allowed for holding public hearings and meetings
8. Re-establish the Heat Smart woodstove replacement program exemption for small commercial solid fuel boilers regulated under the permitting program
9. Remove annual reporting requirements for small gasoline dispensing facilities
