State of Kansas Department of Health and Environment Notice of Public Hearing The Kansas Department of Health and Enviro nment (KDHE) proposes revisions to the State of Kansas Plan for Implementation, Maintenance and Enforcement of the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality Standards ( NAAQS) for Lead. In 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designat ed a portion of Saline County, Kansas as a Nonattainment Area under provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA)

. This action was based

on air quality mo ni toring surrounding the Exide Technologies site from 2008 through 2010. CAA provisions require states with a designated n onattainment area in 2011 to submit a plan to EPA that demonstrates attai nment of the 2008 Lead NAAQS by December 2016. Any member of the public may request a public hearing or submit comments regarding this proposed action. A tentative public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, September 3 , 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in the Curtis State Office Building, Azure Conference Room ( 4 th Floor), 1000 SW Jackson, Topeka, Kansas. If no request for hearing i s received by 12:00 noon on August 29 , 2014 , the tentatively scheduled hearing will be cancelled with announcement posted on the KD HE Bureau of Air (BOA) website at http://www.kdheks.gov/bar/planning/pnplanning .html
