B. COUNCIL ACTION
1. Discussion/Direction: Presentation by Richard Grimaldi, Interim Director of Pima
County Department of Environmental Quality regarding particulate matter (PMlo)
exceedances (Mike Hein)
Mr. Grimaldi gave a lengthy presentation before the Council regarding the Clean Air
Act requirements, Particular Matter (PMlo) and the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) Natural Events policy. He pointed out that Pima County had exceeded the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) four times in 1999. He added that
areas designated as non-attainment must submit a plan to reduce the pollutants to a
point below the NAAQS. This plan must be submitted within a specified time as being
designated non-attaim-nent. Failure to comply with these federal requirements could
result in the EPA developing strict regulations and sanctions such as withholding
federal transportation monies from the non-attainment area. Pima County is currently
seeking an exception under the Natural Events policy.
Vice Mayor Reuwsaat asked Mr. Grimaldi several questions regarding Pima County's
NAAQS 1999 exceedances. He asked if there was a connection between the federal
sanction of withholding highway funds and the source of the pollutants. Mr. Grimaldi
stated that there was no link between the air pollution source and the sanctions.
Mr. Grimaldi continued his presentation by explaining the requirements that Pima
County must meet in order to qualify for the Natural Events exception status. He said
that a technical analysis establishing a relationship between the natural event and the
exceedance must be submitted within six months of the last exceedance. Pima County"s
technical analysis of the relationship between high winds and the 1999 exceedances was
submitted to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) on June 12,
2000 for review. ADEQ will forward this analysis to the EPA by the June 23, 2000
deadline. The next step in the qualification process is to develop a Natural Events
Action Plan (NEAP). The NEAP establishes control measures as well as programs for
public notification of potential health risks and when a natural event is
