EPA Issues Draft Guidance on Analyzing Transport Projects' Particulate 'Hot Spots'

摘要

Draft guidance issued by the Environmental Protection Agency provides state and local agencies with information on a new method for analyzing particulate matter "hot spots" in their determinations on whether a proposed transportation project, such as a new highway, would conform with the Clean Air Act.rnThe draft, announced May 26 in the Federal Register, provides guidance on using the agency's "MOVES2010" emissions model and California's EM-FAC2007 model for estimating emissions that would result from the project (75 Fed. Reg. 29,537).
