Summary of Grants Pass PM-10 Attainment Plan

Related Information
  • Oregon SIP: EPA Approved Nonregulatory Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures (40 CFR part 52.1970(e))
  • Oregon SIP: EPA Approved Regulations (40 CFR part 52.1970(c)

Background

The Grants Pass, Oregon, Urban Growth Boundary was designated nonattainment for PM10 and classified as moderate upon enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments in 1990.

Oregon submitted a PM10 attainment plan on November 15, 1991, and EPA and EPA announced its proposed approval of the plan (58 FR 13230 (pdf) (531 KB)).

EPA approved the plan on December 17, 1993 (58 FR 65934 (pdf) (391 KB)).

On November 5, 1999, Oregon submitted a complete rule renumbering and relabeling package to EPA for approval in the SIP. On January 22, 2003, EPA approved the recodified version of Oregon's rules to remove and replace the outdated numbering system (68 FR 2891 (pdf) (204 KB)). The following list refers to the currently approved SIP rules.

Summary

The plan relies on control strategies needed to assure attainment of the PM10 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The strategy focuses on control of industrial emissions and residential wood combustion. Additional reductions are expected from statewide efforts to reduce slash burning smoke.
