ALBANY--Two proposals that will help New York State achieve improved air quality are currently available for public comment.
The State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions are required under the federal Clean Air Act and demonstrate how the 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone will be met in the New York Metropolitan Area (NYMA) and Poughkeepsie area.
The NYMA proposed SIP includes Suffolk, Nassau, Kings, Queens, Richmond, New York, Bronx, Westchester and Rockland counties. Dutchess, Orange and Putnam counties are included in the SIP for the Poughkeepsie area.
Both proposed revisions contain a baseline emissions inventory, projected emissions inventories, a predictive model attainment demonstration, and control measures and programs implemented to attain the 8-hour ozone standard. Control measures include regulations for power plants, consumer products, printing operations, asphalt paving and industrial boilers.
