Section 340-246-0130 - Geographic Program (0130 through 0170)

(1) Purpose. The Geographic Program addresses emissions from multiple sources of toxic air contaminants. It requires prioritizing and selecting geographic areas of concern, forming a local advisory committee, developing a specific local plan to control toxic air contaminants, a public participation and comment process, EQC adoption or approval, implementing reduction strategies, and periodically evaluating the effectiveness by DEQ.

(2) Subject to the requirements in OAR 340-246-0130 through 0170, the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority is designated by the Commission as the agency to implement the Geographic Program within its area of jurisdiction. The requirements and procedures contained in this rule must be used by the Regional Authority to implement the Geographic Program unless the Regional Authority adopts superseding rules which are at least as restrictive as state rules. The Regional Authority will address geographic areas as resources allow, considering the prioritization criteria in 340-246-0150.
