Summary of Eugene-Springfield PM-10 Limited Maintenance Plan
Background
The area within the Eugene-Springfield Urban Growth Boundary was designated as a moderate PM10 nonattainment area upon enactment of the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 1990.
Oregon submitted an attainment plan to EPA on November 15, 1991, as a moderate PM10 State Implementation Plan (SIP) under section 189(a) of the CAA. The EPA approved the Eugene-Springfield moderate PM10 SIP on August 24, 1994 (59 FR 43483 (pdf)).
On January 13, 2012, Oregon submitted a PM10 Limited Maintenance Plan and Redesignation Request. On April 11, 2013, EPA took direct final action to approve the Eugene-Springfield PM10 Limited Maintenance Plan and redesignate the area to attainment for PM10 (78 FR 21547 (pdf)).
Summary
The plan relies on control strategies needed to maintain attainment of the PM10 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The strategy focuses on mandatory home wood heating curtailment program and existing controls on local industrial sources.
