PERMANENT RULES

YAKIMA REGIONAL

CLEAN AIR AGENCY

[Filed October 9, 2020, 11:05 a.m., effective November 9, 2020]

Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

Purpose: The purpose of the changes are to update the regulation to be current with federal and state rules. In order to accomplish this, Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency (YRCAA) removed/repealed sections of 2002, improved readability, cleaned up spelling and grammar errors, and corrected outdated RCW and WAC references. The YRCAA Regulation 1 will be submitted for inclusion to the state implementation plan (SIP). In addition, chapter 70.94 RCW was renamed chapter 70A.15 RCW after the YRCAA submitted CR-102. Hence, in this CR-103P filing the YRCAA will also change the referenced RCW in the originally submitted YRCAA Regulation 1 to the new chapter 70A.15 RCW.

Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Amending YRCAA Regulation 1.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 70.94.141.
