EPA Proposes Full Approval of Maine's Air Quality Implementation Plan and Redesignation of Presque Isle Area

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing full approval of Maine's request to redesignate the Presque Isle area to attainment for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM 10), along with a maintenance demonstration and contingency plans outlining Maine's control strategy for maintaining the PM 10 national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The EPA is also approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Maine to satisfy federal requirements for contingency measures for the Presque Isle initial nonattainment area.
