Public meeting to kick off planning for how the region will meet Federal standards for fine particle air pollution.

Seven of Northeast Ohio's eight counties are in nonattainment for particulate matter of less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). A completed state implementation plan (SIP) is due from Ohio EPA to US EPA in April 2008. We must show clean air by 2010, as with ozone. So the NOACA task force will spend the next 6-8 months studying how Northeast Ohio will achieve that goal.

Potential agenda items at the first meeting include: (1) PM2.5 Nonattainment Status, Ohio EPA; (2) Demonstration of PM Monitors, Cleveland Division of Air Quality; (3) Columbus-area Work on Fine Particles and Diesels, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission; and (4) Designation of Work Groups and Schedule of Future Meetings.

If you wish to begin learning about fine particles and the work ahead (which will cover, at the very least, on-road diesel engines, off-road diesel engines, cars, trucks, buses, "clean" fuels, large industries, open burning, and energy conservation) please see the NOACA website. Many useful documents and websites can be found there, including a new "Fleet Managers' Resource Page" link.
