PUBLIC NOTICE

The Shelby County Health Department – Pollution Control Section (SCHD)
is requesting public comment on a revision to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP), which includes an emissions off-set plan (OSP) and other
changes that result from this revision.

The purpose of the OSP is to provide and document sufficient emission
reductions of regulated pollutants to off-set the emission benefits
assigned to the City of Memphis’ Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance
(I/M) program in the Shelby County Ozone Maintenance Plan, (2010 O3
Maintenance Plan) approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
(75 Federal Register, January 4, 2010).  The OSP identifies the types
and amounts of emission reductions attributable to I/M, and where
reductions in emissions equivalent or greater to those reductions will
be achieved to off-set those I/M reductions.  It also requests the
adoption of this revised maintenance plan.

If the OSP is approved, Shelby County requests that the specific
components of the City of Memphis’ I/M program, approved into the
State Implementation Plan (SIP) in 1986, be formally removed from the
SIP, which will include removal from the 2010 O3 Maintenance Plan. 
These new components will substitute for the air quality benefits
attributable to I/M.  The revised 2010 O3 Maintenance Plan continues to
identify county-wide basic I/M as a contingency measure, and defines the
events or conditions that would cause it to be triggered for
implementation.  

A copy of the revised Maintenance Plan is available for public
inspection at the Pollution Control Section office noted below during
normal business hours (8:00 am – 4:30 pm).  In addition, a copy is
available for public inspection at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central
Library, 3030 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN.  It can also be found at the
following websites:   HYPERLINK "http://www.midsouthcleanair.org"
