Background

Northern Ada County (Boise), Idaho, was designated nonattainment for carbon monoxide (CO) and classified as “not classified” upon enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments in 1990.

Idaho submitted a CO maintenance plan on January 17, 2002 and EPA approved the plan on October 28, 2002 (67 FR 65713 (PDF)(6 pp, 148 K, About PDF)).
