The Air Quality Division is holding a comment period and public hearing on January 26, 2015, at 1:30 p.m. on proposed revisions to administrative rules promulgated pursuant to Part 55, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451 (NREPA).
The rules are identified as Part 9, Emission Limitations and Prohibitions – Miscellaneous. The comment period and hearing will address requirements relative to the state administrative rules and revisions to Michigan’s State Implementation Plan under the federal Clean Air Act. The purpose of these rules revisions is to adopt by reference specific federal regulations and industry testing methods, update some adoption by reference language, and move all adoptions by reference in the AQD rules to R 336.1902 to make the rules easier to use.
