Hard copies

were

also available

of this hearing

is

to provide

the public

with

an opportunity

to formally

comment

on

the proposed document. Summary

of Proposed

State Implementation

Plan

for

the Annual

Fine Particle Standard The clean

Air

Act

was passed

in 1970

to protect

public

health

and welfare.

Congress

amended

the

Act

in 1990

to establish requirements

for areas

not meeting

the National

Ambient

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

The CAAA established

a process

for evaluating

air quality

in the .region identifying nonattainment

areas according

to the severity

of

its

air pollution

problem.

The

Act

sets health standard for

six ambient pollutants:

carbon monoxide,

sulfur dioxide,

nitrogen

oxides,

ozone,

lead

and particulate matter.

The Environmental

Protection

Agency established

rules

and regulation

to implement

the Clean

Air Act. The Clean

Air

Act Amendments

of 1990 represents

an unprecedented

commitment

to protecting

public 1

# n health

and

the environment.

A high

level

of fine particles

is

a health problem.

Fine particle pollution

is

a mixture

of microscopic

solids

and liquid droplets suspended

in the

air.

At

2.5 microns

in diameter,

the

( small particles

can

get deep

into lungs

and even

the bloodstream.

People

with

heart

or lung disease,

older adults

and children

are

at greater

risk from

this

type

of pollution.

It

is especially

harmful

for those

with respiratory

problems

such

as allergies,

asthma, bronchitis

and emphysema;

and greater susceptibility

to respiratory

infection Tn 1997

EPA reviewed

PM

air quality

criteria

and standards

and established

two

new

PM

(2.5) standards:33 

# an annual standard

of 15.0 jig/rn

and

a 24-hour

of

65 jig/rn. 

# This document

addresses

these 1997-based standards.

EPA revised

the secondary

standards,

making

them identical

to the primary standards.

There were

a series

of legal challenges

to the

PM standards

that were

not resolved

until March

2002,

at which time

the standards

and EPA’s decision

process

were upheld. In January

2005

EPA designated

portions

of the Martinsburg,

WV— 

# Hagerstown,

MD Metropolitan Statistical

area

as

a nonattainment

area

for

the annual

PM

(2.5) standard.

EPA

did

not

use

a classification system

for PM

(2.5) nonattainment

areas.

The boundary

# Attainment

for Washington

MD,

is

a plan to demonstrate

compliance

with

the annual National

for fine particles

in the Washington

region

in 2009.

The

Plan consists

of Base

for 2009,

an attainment

plan,

a demonstration

of reasonably

available control measures,
