NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule establishes requirements that apply to abrasive blasting operations in PM10 nonattainment and maintenance areas. Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a) allows the Air Quality Board to make rules "...regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources and the establishment of the maximum quantity of air contaminants that may be emitted by any air contaminant source."

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

This is the first five-year review. There have been no comments since rule enactment.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Emission limits help to ensure that industrial facilities are operating properly and emitting the least possible pollution to protect human health which this rule outlines and should be continued. This rule is also part of the EPA enforceable State Implementation Plan (SIP). Therefore, this rule should be continued.
