VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: The amendment to Rule 701 does not cause the release of additional air contaminants or create any adverse 

environmental impacts. This rule is an administrative rule to define air pollution episode criteria, provide episode 

notification to the public, recommend precautionary actions to be taken during episodes, and reduce the severity of 

episodes by curtailing activities.
