GRIC Tribal Implementation Plan (TIP) for Air QualityManagement Responses to Public Comment and Ordinance Revisions

Please find attached a copy ofthe latest draft of the TIP Ordinances for Air Quality Management, and responsesto TIP comments submitted to DEQ during a second pubic
comment period held July 1,2006through July 3 1,2006. An extensive list of interested parties, both on and off the Community, received the draft ordinances prior to the
comment period.

The first comment period and hearing were held last year in June, 2005, and as a result of
comments submitted to DEQ, a number ofrevisions were made to the TIP ordinances. We felt it was necessary to conduct a second comment period and hearing to give the public an opportunityto review the revised TIP. The ordinances and corresponding summaries were posted all seven districts. Presentationswere made in GRIC districts with the exception of districts 2 and 3 due to a number of cancellations. Staff submitted pertinent material to these districts and discussed what the documents entailed with district staffmembers.

Written comments were received from five (5) commenters includingArizona Rock Products Association (on behalf of GRIC Sand & Gravel and tenants),Arizona Department ofEnvironmental Quality, Alcoa Inc. (Pimalco), Therrn-0-Rock Inc. and Greenaction (an environmental activist organization). Four of the ordinanceshave slight revisions in response to comments. The affected ordinances include Part I1 (permit ordinance), Part V Section 2 (area source fugitive dust emission limits), Part VI, Section 3 (degreasingand solvent metal cleaning) and Part VII, Section 3 (nonmetallicmineral mining and processing). The revisionshave been redlined and deletions struck out. It is important to note that the revised ordinances do not contain significant changes and will not require an additional comment period. A majority ofthe revisionswere made for clarificationpurposes. Following Council approval of these revisions, air quality staff will prepare FINAL drafts of the TIP and proceed with the final ordinance approval
process.TIPDISTRIBUTION LIST
