Air Quality Planning Program

Maryland's Air Quality Planning Program (AQPP) writes state implementation plans and regulations to reduce emissions and achieve

the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six "criteria" air pollutants: ground­level ozone, particulate matter, lead,

carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The AQPP also implements federal, regional, local, and state greenhouse gas

emissions reduction programs, including implementing the requirements of the Maryland Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act of

2009 and managing Maryland's involvement in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).

The AQPP consists of three divisions covering its different program areas:

(1) Planning and Policy

(2) Regulation Development

(3) Climate Change

Planning and Policy: State Implementation Plans

The Planning and Policy Division develops air quality plans, also called state implementation plans, which are designed to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas cleaner than the

standards.

The state implementation plans are listed below in chronological order with the latest documents first. Some SIPs have many

appendices, but each distinct SIP on the list is identified with the word “Document” followed by the individual SIP’s name below that

and any appendices subsequently.

Note: Maryland's State Implementation Plans are viewable in Adobe Acrobat Reader (pdf) format. To view the documents, you will

A public hearing will be held on Friday, July 19, 2013, at the Maryland Department of the Environment, 1800 Washington

Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21230 – First Floor Conference Room – 2:00 P.M.

On February 1, 2012 (effective March 2, 2012) EPA reclassified the Baltimore, Maryland Nonattainment Area as a "serious"

nonattainment area. As a serious nonattainment area for 8­hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), the Baltimore

region is required to meet the requirements defined in the Clean Air Act, Section 182 (d) and to submit a revised serious area SIP by

September 30, 2012.

The Serious Area Attainment Plan describes the progress being made to improve air quality in the Baltimore Nonattainment Area and

the efforts underway to assure that all necessary steps are taken to reach the federal health standard for ground­level ozone by

2012. The plan has been prepared by the Maryland Department of the Environment Air and Radiation Management Administration to

comply with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) and with EPA requirements for the Baltimore region as stated in EPA’s

reclassification of the Baltimore region (77 Fed. Reg. 4901, February 1, 2012).

The public hearing will be held as required by federal law (Clean Air Act at 42 U.S.C. 7410 (a) and 40 CFR 51.102). After consideration

of comments received, the plan will be finalized and submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for

approval. Note: the public library systems in the region can be used for Internet access to view the document.

Copies of the document can be viewed at the offices of the Maryland Department of the Environment, Air and Radiation Management

Administration, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Suite 730, Baltimore, Maryland. For more information, contact Mary Jane Rutkowski at
