Sacramento, Calif.The California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) hosted an exclusive webinar with associate member Trinity Consultants, exploring the implications of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2024 update to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in California.

On February 7, 2024, the EPA signed a final regulation to reduce the magnitude of the annual NAAQS for PM2.5. The final rulemaking reduced the primary (health-based) annual NAAQS from 12.0 to 9.0 µg/m3. Implementation of the revised NAAQS by states and EPA has begun and will continue over the next several years. The updated standard is expected to impact future permitting (e.g., through air dispersion modeling, emission reduction credits, etc.) as well as facility level compliance (e.g., through the promulgation of future rules to reduce emissions from stationary and/or fleet sources, etc.).

Course Topics

  • Introduction to the revised PM2.5 NAAQS
  • Implementation steps and deadlines
  • Potential impacts on your facility operations
  • Solutions to minimize impacts from the change
