Pickedup By- PLEASE PRINT DateDATE: April 21,2006 TO: Natural Resources StandingCommittee Members FROM: Daniel Blair, Air Quality Specialist SUBJECT: Request to submitthe GRIC TribalImplementation Plan (TIP) for Air Qualityfor Public Comment
The GRIC Air Quality Program is requesting approval to submit the Final Draft of the proposed GRIC Tribal Implementation Plan (attached) for Public Comment. The Draft GRIC TIP was submitted for public comment in the summer of 2005 and a Public Hearing was held according to Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. Comments were received for a 45 day period from the public, industry representatives, EPA and surroundingjurisdictions. Over 100comments were received including 75 comments from EPA. Additional comments were received from Pimalco, Romic Environmental and the City of Chandler. Several commenters praised GRIC for their commitment toward developing a comprehensive air quality regulatory program including Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) EPA and Gila River Alliance for a Clean Environment (GRACE). Several revisions and additions were made to the TIP ordinances in response to EPA comments and comments from industry. Most of the requested revisions were completed and a draft was submitted to EPA for a final review. EPA's final review resulted in an additional request for more revisions. GRIC air quality personnel also met with personnel from individualindustrial facilities to discuss the proposed revisions. GRIC personnel met individually with Gila River Sand and Gravel, Gila River Farms, Pimalco, Romic, SuperliteBlock, Rock Solid, Thermorock, Rinker and Hansen. Sincethe public comment period was held in the summer of 2005, the GRICAir Program has drafted two additional ordinances (VOC Storage, Usage and Handling, and the VOC and HAPUsage, StorageAnd Handling for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations). EPA has reviewed and submitted comments on the VOC Usage Storage and Handling Ordinancebut the Waste Recovery Ordinance will be completed after EPA completes a health assessment for Romic Environmental aspart of their Hazardous Waste Permit. Since the TIP has under gone numerous revisions and additions, it is necessary to provide interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Final Draft TIP through a public hearing and a 30 day public comment period. The Clean Air Act also requires notice to be published requesting comments in a publication of general circulation (e.g., GRIN and the Arizona Republic).
