Special Notice: Notice of Public Comment Period and Public Hearing -- Progress Report for Utah's State Implementation Plan for Regional Haze
Pursuant to the public hearing requirements in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 section 102, the Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) is issuing the following notice.
In 1999, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted the Regional Haze Rule (RHR) requiring each affected state to develop and adopt a plan to improve the haziest days and protect the clearest days at each mandatory Class I area in the state with a goal of returning to natural visibility conditions by the year 2064. The UDAQ submitted a Regional Haze state implementation plan (SIP) to the EPA on December 12, 2003. The RHR requires progress reports every five years after the initial SIP is submitted. The UDAQ has prepared a draft "Progress Report for Utah's State Implementation Plan for Regional Haze" to meet the requirements of the federal rule.
The draft report and related materials are available for review on the UDAQ website at http://www.airquality.utah.gov/Public-Interest/Public-Commen-Hearings/Pubrule.htm or at the UDAQ offices at 195 N 1950 W, Salt Lake City, UT, 84114. A public hearing will be held to receive oral comments for the draft report on December 1, 2014 at 1:00 PM at 195 N 1950 W, Room No. 4100, Salt Lake City, UT.
Persons wishing to comment on the draft report during the public comment period may do so by submitting written comments to Mark Berger at mberger@utah.gov or to the UDAQ address listed above.
