a. Prepare the air quality section in accord with the current version of the State’s Air Quality Guidelines, Air Quality SOP, and Air Quality SOU. If the Air Quality SOP requires it, the document must contain the following air quality elements in the format prescribed in the Air Quality SOU: Provide the following information for attainment counties in the environmental document:
1) A statement indicating that the county or counties where the project is located is in attainment of all National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
2) A statement indicating whether or not the project has been included in, and is consistent with, the current metropolitan transportation plan (MTP). If it is not consistent with the MTP, contact the State for further instructions. Either bridging language will need to be used or the project will need to be revised.
b. Provide the following information for nonattainment counties in the environmental document:
1) A statement providing the name of the nonattainment area, details on the nonattainment pollutants and nonattainment classification of the county or counties where the project is located.
2) A statement indicating whether or not the project has been included in, and is consistent with, the current conforming metropolitan transportation plan (MTP). If it is not consistent with the MTP, contact the State for further instructions. Either bridging language will need to be used or the project will need to be revised.
c. A discussion of congestion management systems for the county or counties where the project is located and a list of committed projects to reduce traffic congestion in those counties.
d. Perform computer modeling of current and future year peak-hour carbon monoxide concentrations DocuSign Envelope ID: B951F3F6-E6BB-4D9E-AFCF-6ACF0EF5B3D9 at project right-of-way lines using computer models, traffic data, and project plan maps provided by the State for projects that require a carbon monoxide Traffic Air Quality Analysis (TAQA). Compare the modeled current and future year peak-hour carbon monoxide concentrations to the one hour and eight hour carbon monoxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Include documentation of the methods and specifications used in modeling and the results of the modeling in the environmental document. This information should include traffic volumes, computer model(...
