     This rulemaking streamlines and updates the air quality permitting process by clarifying requirements, eliminating duplicative and conflicting standards, keeping rules in line with federal requirements, and correcting errors was adopted and effective October 14, 2008. The revisions simplify, and better align rules with the Federal Clean Air Act while maintaining the same level of environmental protection and stringency.
