Air Quality: Status Report and Issues Before AQMA Committee--Memos distributed. Don Hulbert, Air Quality Consultant, made the following statement. The Eugene/Springfield/Lane County metropolitan area is in violation of three federal ambient air quality standards. We do not attain standards in total suspended particulates, carbon monoxide, and photo-chemical oxidents. We are designated as an Air Quality Maintenance Area (AQMA). As a non-attainment area, we must conform to appropriate sections of the 1977 Clean Air Act amendments. Federal law requires that primary and secondary air quality standards shall be achieved as expeditiously as practicable. In the case of particulates, no later than December 31, 1982, for the primary standard. Until we attain the standards, we must make reasonable annual improvements in our air quality. To meet Federal requirements, the state must submit an implementation plan that satisfies the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. If the plan is not approved or if it is not properly followed, penalties, sanctions, and restrictions are permitted, and Federal implementation is possible. To provide local involvement in the state plan, as required by Federal e legislation, the state DEQ and two local agencies are working together. 7/26/78--5 535
