The Honorable Rick Scott Governor of Florida PL 05 The Capitol 400 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399
Dear Governor Scott;
Thank you for the letter dated January 5, 2018, from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding "Certification of Calendar Year 2017 Ambient Air Monitoring Data for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) at AQS Site # 12-017-0006 Located in Citrus County; Florida." Based on this new information and previous submissions by the Florida DEP, I am writing to inform you that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to withdraw the designation ofUnclassifiable for the Citrus County, Florida area that EPA originally promulgated on December 21, 2017, and establish a designation of Attainment/Unclassifiable for the healthbased National Ambient Air Quality Standard for SCb established in 2010. We plan for the designation to be effective on April 9. 2018.
The enclosed table updates the SO2 designations for Florida. This action wail complete all initial SO2 area designations for your state.
Improving air quality to protect public health is a shared goal. Through local, state, tribal, and national programs, we have made considerable progress to reduce SO2 levels throughout the country. Nationwide, monitored levels of SO2 have dropped 85 percent since 1990. I appreciate the work you have done and the partnership we have developed to achieve this impressive reduction.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact me or your staff may contact Troy Lyons, Associate Administrator for the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Relations, at lyom.troy@epa.gov or at (202) 564-5200.
