ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

FOR ALABAMA STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP)

Public Notice – 350

Notice is hereby given that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management is providing the opportunity for interested persons to comment on documents that propose to certify that the State of Alabama has fulfilled Section 175A(d) of the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) for the 2008 lead NAAQS. Section 175A(d) requires the inclusion of contingency provisions in the maintenance plan that would be implemented by the state to correct any future violation(s) of the NAAQS in areas that had been redesignated to attainment. Since the Sanders Lead facility is the only significant source of lead emissions in the Troy area, the approach used for the maintenance plan to demonstrate that attainment of the lead standard will continue to be maintained was based upon the enforceable control measures in place for the Sanders Lead facility. Interested parties may request that a public hearing be held.

If a hearing is held, it will be held on January 7, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 1201 at the ADEM – Central Office location at 1400 Coliseum Blvd. in Montgomery.

Those requesting a hearing should call (334) 271-7909. The deadline to submit a request for a hearing is 5:00 p.m. on January 3, 2025.
