116. REVISIONS TO ARIZONA’S STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP) Pursuant to A.R.S. §49-479(b), set a public hearing for September 6, 2017 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of the submittal to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of revisions to the Maricopa County portion of the Arizona SIP. To bring the SIP up-to-date with current Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulations, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) is proposing the rescission (removal) from the Arizona SIP, the following SIP approved rules: 22, 27, 28, 32 Paragraphs A-H and J-K, 34, 35, 41 Paragraphs A and B, 42, 74, and 81. At the same time, the MCAQD is proposing for inclusion into the Arizona SIP, the following previously adopted rules: 100, 210, 220, 230, 245, 313, 322, 323, 330, 331, 333, 335, 336 and Appendix A. No revisions were made to the regulations in this request to the EPA to update the Arizona SIP. The MCAQD is only proposing rescission (removal) and inclusion of rules to revise the Arizona SIP. Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to approve the submittal to the EPA to revise the Arizona SIP. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective September 6, 2017. Congress established the basic structure of the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1970. The CAA requires the EPA to establish national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for common and widespread pollutants based on the most current science available. For areas that were determined to be in nonattainment of the NAAQS, the state was required to adopt federally enforceable SIPs in order to achieve and maintain air quality and meet the federally established air quality standards. In order to comply with the CAA, the MCAQD submitted rules under the jurisdiction of the MCAQD to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), the designated EPA contact, for inclusion in the original SIP submittal made to the EPA on January 28, 1972. Through the years, the MCAQD has revised the rules submitted in the original SIP and has submitted such revised rules for inclusion in the SIP. The rules in this request have been previously adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Permit fees are not changing due to this action. No emission limitations, work practices and recordkeeping or reporting requirements are changing due to this action. (C-85-18-001-M-00)
