''Thursday, July 25, 2019 at 4:15:28 PM (GMT+07:00) Goldstein, Meyer:'' Rule Caption: Updated Oakridge-Westfir PM2.5 Attainment Plan Adm. Order No.: DEQ 2-2017 Filed with Sec. of State: 1-19-2017 Certified to be Effective: 1-19-17 Notice Publication Date: 10-1-2016 Rules Amended: 340-200-0040 Subject: The Lane Regional Air Protection Agency proposed, and the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission approved, the Updated Oakridge-Westfir PM2.5 Attainment Plan for incorporation into the Oregon Clean Air Act State Implementation Plan (SIP). The plan is also submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its approval under the federal Clean Air Act (CAA). This rulemaking adopts the supplement to the 2012 Attainment Plan which did not meet the CAA deadline of December 2015. In December 2015, Oakridge-LRAPA-DEQ requested a one-year deadline extension to December 2016 consistent with CAA criteria. EPA approved the extension in July 2016. The proposed Updated Oakridge-Westfir PM2.5 Attainment Plan will reduce fine particulate (PM2.5) pollution and protect the health of the residents in the Oakridge area. The plan and associated rules were designed to bring this area into compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM2.5 by the extended federal deadline of December 2016.
