NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

ON AIR QUALITY ISSUES

 

NO₂ Infrastructure SIP

 

 

Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held on Monday, May 19, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 555 of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) headquarters 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 describes how the District is implementing the “infrastructure” elements of the 2010 nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Once EPA approves the SIP revision, 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 nitrogen dioxide.

 

Copies of the proposed SIP revision are available for public review during normal business hours at DDOE headquarters and on-line at http://ddoe.dc.gov/.
