EPA Finds Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir Area's NOx Budget Adequate for Transportation Conformity

Summary

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that the nitrogen oxides motor vehicle emissions budget for the Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir area in North Carolina is adequate for transportation conformity purposes. This means the area can use this budget for future conformity determinations, and it is not required to perform a regional emissions analysis for direct particulate matter.
