Even with the stricter standards, Georgia’s air quality continues to improve – as you can see in these maps. But we still have areas in nonattainment for ozone.

Recent changes impacting some sources with air quality permits In 2018, the DNR Board approved changing the major source level to 100 TPY for NOx or VOC in Atlanta, to match requirements in the rest of the state 1995 “once in always” policy reversed by EPA in January 2018

US EPA’s Regional Haze RULE States required to develop State Implementation Plans (SIPs) every 10 years to address emissions that contribute to regional haze, impairing visibility in Class 1 Areas There are three Class I areas in Georgia In 2017, EPA issued Regional Haze Rule amendments. Next due date for Regional Haze SIPs is July 31, 2021. Focus changed to anthropogenic sources of visibility impairment Visibility Improvement State and Tribal Association of the Southeast (VISTAS)

18 VISTAS Class I Areas

State SIP Development VISTAS work should be completed this Fall Preliminary information shows some sources in GA impacting Class 1 Areas EPA is issuing new guidance on Regional Haze late Spring/early Summer 2019 Questions that remain: How much impact? What are the obligations for areas below the uniform rate-of-progress “glide slope”?
