A plan mandated by the CAA that contains procedures to monitor, control, maintain, and enforce compliance with the NAAQS.
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA sets national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), while states are responsible for deciding precisely how to achieve the standards, subject to review and approval by EPA. State implementation plans are EPA-approved state plans that detail how the state will ensure its air quality will comply with the NAAQS. (See also "Delegation").
A plan that each state must submit to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the CAA to demonstrate compliance with NAAQS.
Produced by the state environmental agency, not the MPO. Contains specific strategies for controlling emissions and reducing ambient levels of pollutants, in order to satisfy the CAA requirements for demonstrations of reasonable further progress toward attainment. Must be taken into account in the transportation planning process.
A document prepared by state government officials specifying measures to be used in the attainment and maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
State Implementation Plan (SIP) is a written plan that describes a State's strategy for achieving and maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Section 110 of the Clean Air Act requires that states developair quality plans for areas that do not meet national air standards outlining how they will reduce pollution. SIPs assure that programs designed to achieve emission reductions are implemented.
EPA-approved state plans for attaining and maintaining national ambient air quality standards
A document prepared by each state describing existing air quality conditions and measures which will be taken to attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards.
Required documents prepared by states and submitted to EPA for approval. SIPs identify state actions and programs to implement designated responsibilities under the Clean Air Act.
a collection of the regulations a state will use to clean up polluted areas
A plan prepared by states and sent to U.S. EPA describing how each area will attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards.
A plan developed by counties that identifies non-attainment areas (areas where NMOS standards are exceeded) in order to improve air quality conditions.
A detailed description of the programs a state will use to carry out its responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. This includes such things as rules and regulations, plans to control ozone, and ambient air standards used by a state to reduce air pollution. The Clean Air Act requires that EPA approve each state implementation plan.
(SIP) A State Implementation Plan (SIP) details how a state will meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines these standards and oversees the SIPs.
A plan required by the Clean Air Act and prepared by an Air Quality Regulatory Agency, which describes how the state will attain and maintain air quality so as to not violate National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
A plan through which a state institutes air quality protection measures that meet federal criteria. When approved by EPA, the state is delegated federal authority for air quality regulation.
A requirement of the EPA where the state must develop a plan for bringing non-attainment areas into compliance.
A collection of regulations that explain how a State will clean up polluted areas under the Clean Air Act. The states must involve the public in the approval process before a SIP is finalized. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approves each SIP, and if it isn't acceptable, the USEPA can assume responsibility for enforcing the Clean Air Act in that State.
A state plan that sets out the process for complying with the Clean Air Act requirements. If approved by the EPA it will give the state the authority to run the federal clean air program for the state. Also see "Clean Air Act."
a strategic document, prepared by a State (or other authorized air quality regulatory agency) and approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which thoroughly describes how requirements of the Clean Air Act will be implemented (including standards to be achieved, control measures to be applied, enforcement actions in case of violation, etc.).
A state plan mandated by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) that contains procedures to monitor, control, maintain and enforce compliance with national standards for air quality.
A detailed description of the programs a state will use to carry out its responsibilities under the Clean Air Act. State implementation plans are collections of the regulations used by a state to reduce air pollution in nonattainment areas. The Clean Air Act requires that EPA approve each state implementation plan. Members of the public are given opportunities to participate in review and approval of state implementation plans.
Plan that a state must submit to EPA under the CAA to demonstrate compliance to NAAQS.
A State Implementation Plan (SIP) is a United States state plan for complying with the federal Clean Air Act, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency. The SIP consists of narrative, rules, technical documentation, and agreements that an individual state will use to cleanup polluted areas.
