Notice of Public Hearing and Public Comment Opportunity for Air Quality Plan

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comments and announcing a public hearing on a proposed plan to maintain compliance with the 1979 ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in the Northern Virginia 1979 ozone NAAQS nonattainment area. The Commonwealth intends to submit the plan as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP is the plan developed by the Commonwealth to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the federal Clean Air Act.

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the overall plan and on the issue of whether the plan enables the Northern Virginia 1979 ozone NAAQS nonattainment area to maintain compliance with the 1979 ozone NAAQS until at least 2038.

Public comment period: November 2, 2026, to December 3, 2026.

Public hearing: A public hearing will be conducted at the Northern Regional Office, 13901 Crown Court, Conference Room One, Woodbridge, VA 22193 at 1 p.m. on Monday, November 30, 2026.

Description of proposal: The proposal consists of an air quality maintenance plan in support of a concurrent request to redesignate the Northern Virginia 1979 ozone NAAQS nonattainment area (Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Stafford and Cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas, and Manassas Park) to attainment. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO_X) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) do not exceed the 2022 attainment year levels through 2038, enabling the area to continue meeting the 1979 ozone NAAQS. The plan contains control measures that are currently in place and will be continued to maintain emissions at or below the 2022 levels. These measures include federal control programs for on-road and non-road engines; formulation limitations on various consumer, commercial, and industrial products; and controls on industrial sources. The plan also contains a program of contingency measures to be implemented if the air quality monitoring stations in the area record a violation of the 1979 ozone NAAQS or if emissions in the area increase above the 2022 levels, as well as information concerning emissions estimates, growth assumptions, emission factors, and reduction assumptions.

The proposed ozone redesignation request and maintenance plan were prepared by DEQ with assistance from the Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee (MWAQC), which consists of elected officials from the affected localities and representatives of state transportation and air quality planning agencies.

The maintenance plan will be submitted as a SIP revision in conjunction with a request to EPA from the Commonwealth to redesignate the Northern Virginia 1979 ozone NAAQS nonattainment area as attainment/maintenance. DEQ is accepting comments on both the redesignation request and maintenance plan, but the redesignation request will not be submitted as part of the SIP revision.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102). The proposed maintenance plan and supporting technical documents will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email and postal mail. To be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ no later than the last day of the comment period. Both oral and written comments are accepted at the public hearing. DEQ prefers that comments be provided in writing, along with any supporting documents or exhibits. Comments on the redesignation request and maintenance plan must be submitted to the contact listed at the end of this notice. All materials received are part of the public record.

To review the proposal: The proposal and any supporting documents are available on the DEQ Air Public Notices website at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/news-info/shortcuts/public-notices/air. The documents may also be obtained by contacting the DEQ representative.
