State Implementation Plan for Ozone for the Pittsburgh Ozone Nonattainment Area
[30 Pa.B. 6278] Ground-level ozone concentrations above the Federal health-based standard are a serious human health threat and can also cause damage to crops, forests and wildlife. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking public comment on a State implementation plan (SIP) revision for the Pittsburgh ozone nonattainment area (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland Counties). This SIP will revise the highway vehicle emission inventory and establish new motor vehicle emission budgets for purposes of transportation conformity. This proposed SIP includes emission reductions attributable to several State and Federal control measures already in place.
This proposal is available on the DEP Website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us (choose Information by Subject/Air Quality/State Implementation Plans), or through the contact persons listed in this notice.
The Department will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the SIP revision on Thursday, January 4, 2001, at 1 p.m. at the offices of the DEP Southwest Regional Office, Waterfront Room A, 500 Building, 500 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745. The Department's Southwest Regional Office is located at Washington's Landing beneath the 31st Bridge along Pa. Route 28.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Connie Cross, (717) 787-9495 (P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105) to reserve a time. If a time is not reserved, witnesses will be able to testify as time allows. Witnesses should keep testimony to 10 minutes and should provide two written copies at the hearing. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceeding should contact Wick Havens at the telephone above. TDD users may contact the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department can best accommodate their needs.
