| Purpose of the meeting A public hearing to receive comments on a proposed plan to promote continued compliance with the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone in Caroline County. This Ozone Advance Action Plan is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to meet its overall clean air goals under the federal Clean Air Act by attaining and maintaining the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. On May 21, 2012, EPA designated Caroline County as attainment for the 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). To help ensure continued clean air, county leaders have worked cooperatively with DEQ and a number of stakeholders to create the plan, which details the numerous clean air programs that are in place and will be implemented to reduce substances that contribute to the formation of ozone. Air quality in the area will continue to improve through the implementation of these programs. Major stakeholders in this process include Caroline County, FAMPO; Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy; Virginia Department of Transportation; Fort A.P. Hill; Dominion Virginia Power; Virginia Clean Cities Coalition; and GWRideConnect. Actions taken as part of the plan, and various upwind reductions of ozone and particulate matter, will continue to improve air quality well into the future. DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ no later than the last day of the comment period.
