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:
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." In addition, Subsection 19-2-104(3)(e) allows the Board to "...prepare and develop a comprehensive plan or plans for the prevention, abatement, and control of air pollution in this state." Rule R307-310 protects the public health by setting forth a mechanism to trade PM10 for NOx to demonstrate conformity with Salt Lake County PM10 SIP.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
There have been no comments on this rule since the last five-year review.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Rule R307-310 establishes a conformity budget for Salt Lake County. This budget allows continued funding of transportation projects in Salt Lake County. Rule R307-310 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan and cannot be deleted without EPA's approval. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
