Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on Monday, December 21, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 555 at 1200 First Street NE, 5^th Floor, in Washington, D.C. 20002. This hearing provides interested parties an opportunity to comment on the proposed revision to the District of Columbia’s (District) State Implementation Plan (SIP), found at 40 C.F.R. Part 52 Subpart J, regarding certain federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements under Sections 110(a)(2)(A) to (M).  Once the District has completed its procedures, the proposed revisions to the SIP will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

 

This SIP revision is a compilation of elements that describe how the District is implementing the “infrastructure” elements of the 2012 fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Once approved by EPA, it will provide a federally enforceable written confirmation of how the District will continue to comply with the §110(a)(2) requirements of the CAA for PM_2.5.

 

Copies of the proposed SIP revision are available for public review during normal business hours at the offices of the Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE), 1200 First Street NE, 5^th Floor, Washington, DC 20002, and on-line at http://doee.dc.gov/.
