14. AQ-2017-010-RULE 600 (EMERGENCY EPISODES) Convene a public hearing, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 49-479(b), to solicit comments on the proposed revision of Maricopa County Air Pollution Control Regulation VI - Rule 600 (Emergency Episodes) and the associated proposed revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). Following the public hearing, the Board is requested to adopt the proposed revisions to the rule and to approve submission of the amended rule as a revision to the Arizona SIP. Rule 600 establishes criteria to determine when air pollutant concentrations are significantly elevated and establishes appropriate control actions to prevent the occurrence of ambient air pollutant concentrations which would cause significant harm to the health of persons. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is proposing to amend Rule 600 to align the rule with the episode level criteria and significant harm levels with the criteria listed in Arizona Administrative Code R18-2-220 (Air Pollution Emergency Episodes) which was amended by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality in March of 2019.
