Summary of State Implementation Plan Revision Program for Puerto Rico, Total Suspended Particulates and Sulfur Dioxide

摘要

As part of the assistance provided to the states by EPA, Engineering-Science (ES) received several task orders to provide services to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board (EQB). The authors' efforts began in 1974 and have continued to the present time. The projects that resulted from the task orders deal with State Implementation Plan Revisions required by EPA. Maintenance and attainment of the ambient air quality standards for TSP and SO2 were addressed. This report presents a chronological summarization and consolidation of the efforts conducted by ES. For each task order, a summary of the initiation date, description, and report title and date is provided in Chapter I. Chapter II summarizes and consolidates the technical accomplishments of the studies, while Chapter III identifies areas in which refinements could be made and additional studies are appropriate. Little technical detail is covered in this report but can be found in the various reports documenting the work or in the Puerto Rico SIP.
