Summary of Northern Ada County (Boise) PM-10 Maintenance Plan
Background
Northern Ada County (Boise), Idaho, was designated as a moderate PM10 nonattainment area upon enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.
Idaho submitted a maintenance plan and redesignation request on September 27, 2002 and provided supplemental information on July 10, 2003 and July 21, 2003. EPA proposed the maintenance plan and redesignation request on July 30, 2003 (68 FR 44715 (pdf) (8 pp, 162 KB)).
