BoardWest Pinal County Nonattainment Area Five Percent Particulate Plan 2023-2026
The 2023 Five Percent Particulate Plan for PM-10 for the West Pinal County Nonattainment Area outlines strategies to attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for PM-10. It addresses the area's failure to attain the PM-10 standard by a prior deadline and aims for the most expeditious attainment by December 31, 2026. The plan mandates annual five percent reductions in PM-10 emissions and incorporates Best Available Control Measures (BACM), quantitative milestones, reasonable further progress, and contingency measures. Key control strategies target significant PM-10 sources including unpaved roads, windblown dust, agricultural activities, feedlots, dairies, and construction, to improve air quality.
