Air Quality Committee (AQC) 
|
This Standing Committee is made up of regional elected and appointed officials. Its responsibilities are to meet periodically to assess the air quality conditions in the region and to examine efforts to improve regional air quality in relation to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). Its findings and recommendations are forwarded to the Policy Committee and the State and Federal governments for consideration and action.
The Fredericksburg nonattainment area had the opportunity to apply for redesignation to attainment status for the 8-hour ozone air quality standard since monitoring data for 2004 showed air quality improvement. The Air Quality Committee helped develop both the maintenance plan and the redesignation request for the area. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) conducted a public hearing on these proposals on April 20, 2005, and the draft maintenance plan and redesignation request were sent to EPA Region III for review and approval. The final approval for these documents was published in the Frederal Register on December 23, 2005. |
