Exceptional Events Submissions Table (2016 Rule)
This table contains examples of air agency submitted exceptional events demonstrations and responsive EPA decision documents that have been prepared and/or acted upon under the 2016 Exceptional Events Rule. These examples may help agencies develop demonstrations that support requests for data exclusion due to the influence of exceptional events; however, the provided examples may not contain the minimum level of data or case-specific analyses necessary for other exceptional events demonstrations. This table is not intended to serve as a database for all Agency actions on exceptional events.
Please note that not all concentrations addressed in the demonstrations in this table may have resulted in EPA concurrences.
