## Summary

The EPA just gave a thumbs-up to Lane County’s updated air pollution rules, making them match Oregon’s state standards better. These changes simplify how businesses get permits, focus on specific pollution sources instead of broad limits, and update how construction projects notify the agency. Starting March 2, 2026, local companies and regulators will follow these clearer, smoother rules—no extra costs announced, just cleaner air and easier paperwork!

## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves revisions to the Oregon State Implementation Plan (SIP) applicable in Lane County, Oregon, as meeting Clean Air Act requirements. The revisions, submitted on June 26, 2024, align local stationary source permitting rules with existing State rules by eliminating generic plant site emission limits in favor of source-specific limits, updating construction notification requirements, clarifying the use of modeling and monitoring related to permitting, and streamlining the permit application process.

- Permitting Requires Appendix W Modeling: benefit, low. LRAPA rules incorporated into the SIP require air quality modeling to follow appendix W (EPA guidance) and clarify modeling and monitoring used in permitting. This modeling/monitoring clarification is effective March 2, 2026.

LRAPA revised and streamlined permit application and related procedures (including registration, types of ACDPs, and public notice/issuance procedures) and these revisions are incorporated into the SIP effective March 2, 2026. The changes are intended to align local permitting with State rules.
