Including Revised Northwest Air Pollution Authority Regulations
in the Washington State Implementation Plan
The Northwest Air Pollution Authority (NWAPA) is requesting a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP) for the state of Washington. The SIP is a state-wide plan for meeting federal health-based air quality standards. The purpose of this revision is to delete administrative and outdated sections of the NWAPA regulation, and adopt into the SIP amended sections that pertain to regulation of industrial sources.
The Washington State Department of Ecology (ecology) is conducting a public hearing to receive comments on including amended Northwest Air Pollution Authority (NWPA) regulations in the SIP. The hearing will be held at 1:30 p.m. on September 14, 2000, at the NWAPA offices located at 1600 South Second Street, Mount Vernon, WA.
Comments at the hearing must be limited to the subject of amending the NWAPA regulations that are included in the SIP. Written comments must be postmarked no later than September 14, 2000, and should be sent to Bob Saunders, Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600, or e-mailed to rsau461@ecy.wa.gov.
In accordance with NWAPA's legal authority pursuant to RCW 70.94.141, the amended sections of the NWAPA regulation were adopted by its board of directors on March 9, 2000; November 12, 1999; November 12, 1998; March 13, 1997; May 9, 1996; February 8, 1996; May 11, 1995; and April 14, 1993.
