Citation:
Georgia Basin-Puget Sound Airshed Characterization Report 2014. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., 2014.
Impact/Purpose:
The goal of the report was to establish a common understanding of the current status of and trends in air quality in the Georgia Basin/Puget Sound airshed.
Description:
The Georgia Basin - Puget Sound Airshed Characterization Report, 2012 was undertaken to characterize the air quality within the Georgia Basin/Puget Sound region,a vibrant, rapidly growing, urbanized area of the Pacific Northwest. The Georgia Basin - Puget Sound Airshed Characterization Report, 2012 is an update of the 2004 report by the same name and represents a synthesis of air quality work undertaken in the region since that time. The work is intended to provide scientific information to assist in the regional management of air quality in the Georgia Basin/Puget Sound international airshed. In addition to contributing to the scientific body of knowledge in this area, the information is intended to support compliance with Canada-wide Standards, the Clean Air Regulatory Agenda, the Canadian Air Quality Management Plan, the Canada-U.S. Air Quality Agreement, and compliance reporting for ozone, particulate matter and visibility in Washington State under the U.S. Clean Air Act and the U.S. Regional Haze Rule.
