Salina Area Redesignated to Attainment
The EPA is proposing to redesignate portions of Saline County, Salina, Kansas to attainment for the 2008 lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This means the agency has determined the area has met the 2008 lead standard, which applies to residents in those portions of Saline County.
Ten-Year Lead Air Quality Maintenance Plan
The EPA is proposing to approve Kansas's plan to maintain the 2008 lead NAAQS in the Salina area for ten years beyond redesignation. That approval would mean the state has a plan in place to keep lead air pollution at or below the standard for the next ten years in the affected area.
