PUBLIC NOTICE
The Wood-Washington-Wirt Interstate Planning Commission (WWW) in cooperation with the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) and Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has developed an Air Quality Conformity Determination on the existing Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and current Transportation Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2018-2021 (TIP). The analysis demonstrates transportation conformity under the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The air Quality conformity analysis reflects an assessment of the regionally significant, non-exempt transportation projects included in the TIP and LRTP. This document ensures that the findings meet all current criteria established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the applicable NAAQS. A conformity determination has been completed to provide a regional forecast of emissions based on planned air quality significant projects and the latest available planning assumptions. The Analysis is available for review and comment on the WWW website located at www.triplew.org. It is also available by calling the WWW office at 304-422-4993 ext. 125.
In addition to the Air Quality Conformity Determination the LRTP and TIP will be amended to include Safety Performance Measures targets and reporting requirements. The safety targets were developed by the WVDOT and ODOT, and supported by the WWW Policy Board. For information regarding the safety performance requirements call the above referenced number. All comments regarding the Air Quality Conformity Analysis and determination, as well as the Safety Performance measures must be received by September 24, 2018. Comments can be submitted to [email protected].
