Document Description
The Federal Clean Air Act section f 82 (a)(3)(A) requires all ozone non-attainment areas to have in place a program that requires emissions statements from stationary sources of NOx and VOC. Due to BAAQMD's marginal non-attainment status with the 2015 8-hour ozone standards, the Air District is required to submit a certification that its existing program continues to comply with federal requirements. BAAQMD intends to certify that Rule 2-L-429 is adequate and continues to fulfill the Clean Air Act section L82(a)(3)(B) emissions statement requirements. This project also seeks to adopt Emissions Statement certifications for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour Ozone NAAQS.
