Air Quality Conformity. An Air Quality Technical Report, dated June 2010, was prepared for the project and indicates that implementation of the project will not adversely impact existing air quality at representative sensitive receptors within the project area. The project will not violate any state or federal carbon monoxide (CO) standards and as such, no mitigation measures are needed. Furthermore, the project fully conforms to the State Implementation Plan‟s (SIP) purpose of attaining and maintaining national ambient air quality standards, and meets all criteria for a finding of conformity with the SIP. A project level conformity determination was submitted and approved by FHWA in May 2011.
Air Quality Conformity. The proposed project is exempt from the requirement to determine air quality conformity under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 93.126 (Table 2–Pavement resurfacing and/or rehabilitation). Therefore, an air quality study is not required.
Air Quality Conformity. The project is included in the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s (MTC’s) Bay Area Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), Plan Bay Area 2040, amended 2020 (RTP ID No. 17-10- 0065). The project is in the 2019 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), which was adopted by the MTC on September 28, 2018 (TIP ID No. ALA170009). The FHWA and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) approved the 2019 TIP on December 17, 2018. The design concept and scope of the proposed project is consistent with the project description in the 2017 RTP as amended in 2020, the 2019 TIP, and the open to traffic assumptions of the MTC’s regional emissions analysis. Therefore, the project is in conformity with the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and will not otherwise interfere with timely implementation of any Transportation Control Measures in the applicable SIP. The project team conducted consultation with MTC Air Quality Conformity Task Force for PM2.5 conformity analysis on March 1, 2019, and the project was determined to be not of air quality concern. FHWA provided concurrence on project-level conformity on September 23, 2020.
Air Quality Conformity. The project is divided into San Xxxx Obispo and Santa Xxxxxxx Counties. Santa Xxxxxxx County is in attainment for all Federal Standards. San Xxxx Obispo County is in attainment for all Federal Standards except for the eastern portion of the county which is in non-attainment for Federal Ozone Standards. More specifically, the project is located in the western portion of San Xxxx Obispo County; therefore, conformity requirements do not apply to the project.
Air Quality Conformity. Air Quality-The Pumpkin Center Roadway Rehabilitation project is exempt from regional conformity under Table 3, Title 40, Section 93.127, of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. The project was presented to Interagency Consultation Partners and was found not to be a “Project of Air Quality Concern”. Concurrence from Caltrans and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was received on September 19, 2019.
Air Quality Conformity. Prior to the adoption of an amendment to the TIP, there shall first be a determination of conformity in accordance with the procedures described in § 1.5.7 of this Part.
Air Quality Conformity. A clean Air Act requirement that ensures Federal funding and approval are given to transportation plan, programs and projects that are consistent with the air quality goals established by a State Implementation Plan (SIP). Applicable to MPOs in designated nonattainment or maintenance areas as defined in 23 CFR 450.104.
Air Quality Conformity. FHWA is responsible for initiating formal transportation conformity consultation and issuing conformity findings/ determinations on MPO Transportation Plans and Transportation Improvement Programs (TIP) in non-attainment or maintenance areas consistent with the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/DOT regulations. Project level conformity is demonstrated by FHWA within the context of NEPA documents. Amendments to Transportation Plans and TIPs that affect regional transportation emissions require new conformity determinations and findings to be made by the MPO and the FHWA respectively. AHTD will ensure that a conformity-finding letter is obtained from FHWA before TIPs/projects can be approved or amended into the Arkansas Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
Air Quality Conformity. The preferred alternative is fully compatible with the design concept and scope described in the current regional transportation plan. Refer to section 2.2.6 of the EIR/EA for air quality discussion.
Air Quality Conformity. In the Bay Area, it is the responsibility of MTC to make an air quality conformity determination for the TIP in accordance with federal Clean Air Act requirements and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conformity regulations. MTC evaluates the impact of the TIP on regional air quality during the biennial update of the TIP. Since the 2011 air quality conformity finding has been completed for the 2011 TIP, no non-exempt projects that were not incorporated in the finding will be considered for funding in the Cycle 2 Program until
