Summary of Lakeview PM-10 Attainment Plan

Background

The Lakeview, Oregon, Urban Growth Boundary was designated “unclassifiable” for PM10 upon enactment of the Clear Air Act Amendments in 1990 due to a lack of air quality monitoring data. The State of Oregon subsequently conducted monitoring in the Lakeview area to verify PM10 concentrations to determine if its designation status should be revised.

EPA redesignated Lakeview as nonattainment for PM10 and classified it as moderate effective December 25, 1993 (58 FR 49931 (PDF)(2 pp, 167 K, About PDF)).

Oregon submitted a PM10 attainment plan on June 1, 1995 and EPA approved the plan on September 21, 1999 (64 FR 51051 (PDF)(10 pp, 224 K)).

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 On January 22, 2003, EPA approved the recodified version of Oregon's rules to remove and replace the outdated numbering system (68 FR 2891 (PDF)(19 pp, 205 K)). 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 residential wood combustion, fugitive dust, residential open burning and wood products emissions. Other strategies include the management of future growth in industrial emissions through Oregon’s New Source Review Program. Non-industrial strategies are implemented through a comprehensive and cooperative program between state officials and the town of Lakeview, including local ordinances adopted by the Lakeview Town Council and the Lake County Board of Commissioners.
