was
listed
in
2001
as
being
the
24rd
largest
MSA
within
the
United
States.
This

encompasses
three

It
includes
Dearborn

Counties
in
Ohio,
and
Boone,
Campbell,

This
is
the
northern

region
of
Kentucky
and
the
apex
of
an
industrial
triangle
anchored
by
Louisville
on
the
southwest
and
Lexington
on

Within
the

is
more

Conclusion
and
Recommendation
The
monitoring
and
emissions
data
and
other
documentation
presented
indicate
that
Boone
County,
Kentucky,
does
contribute
a
significant
amount
of
ozone
forming
emissions
in
the
Kentucky
portion
of
the
area.
While
overall
VOC
emission
reductions
have
occurred
since
1990
in
the
area
with
a
required
15%
VOC
emission
reduction
plan
under
the
1­
hour
ozone
standard,
the
county
has
recorded
a
violation
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
based
on
the
2000
 
2002
monitoring
data.
Therefore,
Boone
County
should
be
designated
nonattainment
for
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard.

Conclusion
and
Recommendation
The
monitoring
and
emissions
data
and
other
documentation
presented
indicate
that
Kenton
County,
Kentucky,
does
contribute
ozone
forming
emissions
in
the
area.
While
overall
VOC
emission
reductions
have
occurred
since
1990
in
the
area
with
a
required
15%
VOC
emission
reduction
plan
under
the
1­
hour
ozone
standard,
the
county
has
recorded
a
violation
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
based
on
the
2000
 
2002
monitoring
data.
Therefore,
Kenton
County
should
be
designated
nonattainment
for
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard.
