Description
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision and redesignation request submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). The SIP revision requests the EPA to redesignate the Warren County, Pennsylvania area from nonattainment to attainment for the 2010 1-hour primary sulfur dioxide (SO2) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). The revision also seeks EPA approval of the Commonwealth's maintenance plan for the 2010 1-hour primary SO2 NAAQS for Warren County. Additionally, Pennsylvania requests correction of source-specific requirements for United Refining Company within the Pennsylvania SIP that were previously included in error. This action is taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
