Lead Designations

Lead Designations - Table of EPA Initial Nonattainment Designations

This table identifies all counties EPA designated as nonattainment in the initial round of designations. Each is a partial county and is identified by a (p). EPA deferred final designations decisions on all other areas of the country until October 2011 so that additional lead air quality data could be collected and evaluated.
