Resumo

EPA is approving a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) which pertains to the 1990 base year ozone emission inventory for the Richmond-Petersburg, Norfolk-Virginia Beach, and Smyth County ozone nonattainment areas. These areas were classified by EPA as moderate (Richmond-Petersburg area) and marginal (Norfolk- Virginia Beach area and Smyth County). The SIP was submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) for the purpose of establishing the 1990 baseline emissions contributing to ozone nonattainment problems in these three areas. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
