Dear ~Mr—Froriapfel--— ~‘~1

On October 21, 1993, the Air Quality Management Division (AQMD) received a memorandum

from Jean Kilipack, Plans Development Section - U.S. EPA, regarding the Nevada State

Implementation Plan for the Truckee Meadows Air Basin for PM 10. The memo identified a few

minor deficiencies in the Washoe County District Health Department (WCDHD) PM1O

regulations that required correction for full SIP approval.

In response, on November 10, 1993 the WCDHD-AQMD held a public workshop to discuss

amendments which would, if passed, correct the perceived deficiencies in the regulations. The

recommended language changes were adopted at the December 15, 1993 Washoe County District

Board of Health (WCDBOH) meeting. These amendments constitute a revision to the PM1O SIP

and therefore, they must be submitted through the State.

I have enclosed the following documents:

• Minutes from the December 15, 1993, Washoe County District Board of Health

public meeting.

• Published Agenda of the District Board of Health for December 15, 1993.
