Abstract
On April 30, 2004, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated and classified that portion of York County, South Carolina within the Rock Hill Fort Mill Area Transportation Study (RFATS) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as a moderate nonattainment area for the 8- hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) as part of the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC (Metrolina) nonattainment area. As a result of this designation, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC or Department) is required to amend the South Carolina Air Quality Implementation Plan, also known as the State Implementation Plan, or SIP, in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq.). States involved in a multi-State ozone nonattainment area must work together to perform the appropriate modeling analyses to identify control measures that will enable the area to achieve attainment as expeditiously as practicable. Each State is responsible for its portion of the control program and will be held accountable for controls identified for implementation within its State boundaries.
