Kentucky: Approval of Revisions to the Louisville State Implementation Plan

The EPA is approving the Air Pollution Control District of Jefferson County portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet on November 12, 1993, and amended on April 5, 1994, and June 30, 1997, which includes the 15 Percent Rate-of-Progress Plan (15 percent plan) for the Louisville moderate ozone nonattainment area. This submittal was made to meet the 15 percent reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) requirement of section 182(b)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA). EPA is approving the plan, including the individual measures that achieve the 15 percent reduction in VOCs and the Jefferson County 1990 Base Year Emissions Inventory. The inventory was submitted by Kentucky to fulfill requirements of section 182(b) of the CAA.
