Notice of State Implementation Plan Submittal to Legislature for Wisconsin 1997 and 2008 Ozone Nonattainment Areas

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) submitted to the standing committees of the legislature with jurisdiction over environmental matters under s. 13.172 (3), Wis. Stats., a report describing DNR’s proposal to submit a revision to Wisconsin’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This SIP requests EPA to approve a document defining and listing Wisconsin’s 1997 and 2008 ozone nonattainment areas, which includes the applicability of Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) permitting requirements in those areas. A certification of the state’s NNSR program is required under the Clean Air Act and implementing regulations; this SIP submittal is intended to address that requirement. An electronic copy of this proposed SIP submittal can be obtained at http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/AirQuality/Input.html or by contacting Cami Peterson at [e-mail] or 608-267-7546.
