State Implementation Plan Revision
Including the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency Updated Port of
Seattle Emission Inventory in the State Implementation Plan
Ecology will hold a public hearing to receive comments on including Puget Sound Clean Air Agency's (PSCAA) updated Port of Seattle emission inventory in the SIP. PSCAA has determined that the inventory falls within the existing maintenance plan demonstration for ozone and carbon monoxide. This action facilitates compliance with the general conformity provisions of 40 C.F.R. 93. More specifically, it identifies and accounts for direct and indirect emissions from construction and operations at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The board of directors of PSCAA will conduct a public hearing at the agency's office. The board is expected to adopt the updated Port of Seattle emission inventory following the local hearing. Ecology's public hearing will follow.
Hearing Schedule: Thursday, January 22, 2004, at 9:15 a.m., Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, 110 Union Street, Suite 500, Seattle, WA.
For a SIP hearing, only comments on whether or not to include the changes into the SIP can be considered. Written comments must be postmarked no later than January 29, 2004, and should be sent to Brett Rude, Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600.
