There will be a public hearing before the Technical Secretary of the Tennessee Air Pollution Control Board to consider a proposed change to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the authority of Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-201-105.
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the State of Tennessee to develop an attainment plan for all areas that are not meeting certain National Ambient Air Quality Standards, or NAAQS. These areas are commonly referred to as nonattainment areas. Attainment plans include steps to achieve and maintain attainment of those standards. After air quality in a nonattainment area has improved enough to consistently meet the NAAQS, the area is then referred to as a maintenance area. Maintenance plans must demonstrate continued attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. These maintenance plans are divided into two sequential phases, with a new plan developed for each ten-year period.
This hearing is to consider the Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for the remainder of the 20-year maintenance period for Montgomery County, the Tennessee portion of the Clarksville 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS maintenance area. This plan sets forth air quality and emissions data that assures the area will continue to maintain the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Further, in the unlikely event the area does violate the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, this document describes a plan to promptly address the NAAQS violation. The final version of this document will be submitted to the EPA to meet Tennessee’s CAA section 175A(b) obligations for this area.
The Public Hearing Notice, and the Limited Maintenance Plan are provided below to assist in public review. Comments are due by March 3, 2020.
