The Bel-O-Mar Regional Council’s Transportation Study (Belomar) has prepared an air quality conformity determination for the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for Belmont County, Ohio, and Ohio and Marshall counties, West Virginia, in accordance with federal transportation conformity requirements (40 CFR Part 93). The 2050 MTP outlines federally supported highway and transit projects through the year 2050 and serves as the region’s long-range transportation guide.
Belomar has determined that implementation of the 2050 MTP will not have a significant impact on regional air quality. This determination is based on a qualitative analysis methodology approved through the interagency consultation process. The analysis considers the scope and scale of planned projects and supports the finding that the plan will not adversely affect regional air quality.
The Belomar region is currently in attainment for all applicable air quality standards, and a regional emissions analysis is not required under transportation conformity regulations.
Belomar is proposing adoption of the air quality conformity determination for the 2050 MTP.
