State DOTs having Programmatic Agreements Related to Air Quality Sample Clauses

State DOTs having Programmatic Agreements Related to Air Quality. Many states have programmatic agreements (PAs) that describe policies and procedures the state DOT will follow with regard to NEPA, other environmental laws, and/or their state specific environmental requirements. These agreements typically include air quality among a host of other environmental topics. In these agreements, air quality is addressed through generic language such as “The action shall conform to all applicable laws, regulations, implementation plans, or other applicable federal and state air quality requirements pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act or state law.”, or “The action will not significantly impact air quality or would cause federal or state ambient air quality standards to be exceeded.” Such PAs do not specify how air quality issues are to be treated, and thus they were not further considered in this study. However, three states (Colorado, South Carolina, and Virginia) do have PAs that are specific to air quality. The PAs for these states are summarized below: 7EPA’s Transportation Conformity Guidance for Quantitative Hot-spot Analyses in PM2.5 and PM10 Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas, Updated November 2013. Available at: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/otaq/stateresources/transconf/projectlevel-hotspot.htm#pm-hotspot Colorado – First developed in 1980 and most recently modified in 1995, this PA is a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Air Pollution Control Division (APCD) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). It applies to Colorado’s CO maintenance areas and does not cover PM10, PM2.5, or MSATs. The agreement identifies the actions exempt from project level conformity requirements, and specifies modeling, consultation and concurrence requirements for the different levels of NEPA actions (i.e., Environmental Impact Statement, Environmental Assessments and Categorical Exclusions). It closely follows federal transportation conformity regulation regarding project-level analyses. The MOA requires use of EPA’s guideline models and consistency with regional conformity analyses. It requires an analysis for intersections operating at LOS D or worse or that are anticipated to operate at LOS D or worse as a result of the project. It also applies to intersections identified in relevant SIPs. Analyses are conducted for the attainment year and the last year of the regional transportation plan. Under the agreement, a project can be considered in conformity with air...
