NEW SECTION
DESCRIPTION OF VANCOUVER OZONE AND
CARBON MONOXIDE MAINTENANCE AREA BOUNDARY
The ozone and carbon monoxide maintenance area boundary
description begins at the northwest corner at the intersection of
the section line on the south side of Section 36 of T4N.R1W and
the north side of Section 1 of T3N.R1W. The boundary turns
southward following the east shores of Lake River, until it would
intersect with the 14900 block NW, then easterly to join with NW
149th Street. This boundary runs until it meets the western edge
of Interstate 5, then north to 159th Street and east on 159th
Street to the east side of NE 50th Avenue. On 50th Avenue the
boundary runs south until it joins the south bank of Salmon
Creek, following the south branch of the creek until it reaches
NE Caples Road, then southerly on the west side of Caples Road
(currently SR-502) until it intersects with NE 144th Street.
The boundary continues eastward along the south side of NE 144th
Street following the 14400 block plane to where it would join
with the west side of NE 212 Avenue, then southward to the south
side of NE 109th Street. The boundary continues east on NE 109th
Street, then southerly along the west side of NE 232 Avenue to
where the 23200 block joins with the northern edge of NE 58th
Street. The boundary continues east on NE 58th Street until the
5800 block intersects with the western edge of Livingston Road.
The boundary follows Livingston Road South until it turns into NE
292nd Avenue. Staying on the plane of the 29200 block, the
boundary proceeds south until it joins SE Blair Road. The
boundary follows along the south-west side of Blair Road
south-eastward to its intersection with Washougal River Road.
The boundary proceeds eastward at the northern edge of the 2000
block to SE 20th Street. The boundary continues east on SE 20th
Street until it intersects the western edge of SE Jennings Road
(352nd Avenue), then south along the 4900 plane to SE 49th
Avenue. The boundary follows the 4900 plane south until it
intersects Evergreen Boulevard (the eastern edge of current
Washougal City limits). The boundary continues south along the
Washougal City limits to the State border along the section line
on the west side of Section 21 of T1N.R4E. The boundary follows
the Clark County line (State boundary) down the Columbia River
until it connects at the northwest corner of the boundary at the
section line of Section 36 of T4N.R1W and the north side of
Section 1 of T3N.R1W.
Note: The Columbia River is the common boundary shared by
Washington and Oregon for the Portland-Vancouver carbon monoxide
and ozone non-attainment area.
