Good Afternoon

Is there any way you can send me my original email regarding the SIP

Revision notice I sent to you on June 17? I need to recover my original

file and I seem to have accidentally deleted it. Thanks!

Notice of Public Hearing on Air Quality Plan

The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE)

gives notice of a public hearing concerning the

Baltimore Serious Nonattainment Area 0.08 ppm 8­

Hour Ozone State Implementation Plan:

Demonstrating Rate of Progress for 2008, 2011 and 2012 Revision to

2002 Base Year Emissions; and Serious Area Attainment Demonstration

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

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.

The proposed plan document has been made available on the Maryland

Department of the Environment's website at http://www.mde.state.md.us/

programs/Air/AirQualityPlanning/Pages/programs/airprograms/air_planning/index.aspx
