STATE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
State Implementation Plan Revision -
Northern Virginia Ozone Nonattainment Area - Precursors to the Pollutant Ozone
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
is seeking comments and announcing a public comment period on a proposed 2017
base year inventory for precursors to the pollutant ozone, which are carbon
monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and volatile organic compounds
(VOC), in the Northern Virginia Ozone Nonattainment Area. The Commonwealth
intends to submit the inventory as a revision to the Virginia State
Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP
is the plan developed by Virginia in order to fulfill its responsibilities
under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the overall 2017
inventory for the Northern Virginia portion of the Metropolitan Washington,
DC-MD-VA Ozone Nonattainment Area, which is classified as marginal for the 2015
NAAQS, and consists of the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince
William and the Cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and
Manassas Park.
Public comment period begins April 27, 2020, and ends May 27,
2020.
Public hearing: A public hearing will be conducted if a request
is made in writing to the contact person listed in this notice. In order to be
considered, the request must include the full name, address, and telephone
number of the person requesting the hearing and be received by DEQ by the last
day of the comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any
requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice, and another
30-day comment period will be conducted.
Description of proposal: The proposal consists of a
comprehensive inventory of actual emissions from all sources of relevant
pollutants for the base year 2017. This inventory, once finalized, will be the
basis for any future planning exercises that have as a goal compliance with the
2015 ozone NAAQS. The proposal was prepared by the Metropolitan Washington Air
Quality Committee, which consists of elected officials from the affected
localities and representatives of state transportation and air quality planning
agencies.
