Based on ambient monitoring data from 2009 to 2011, we proposed to determine that the Paul Spur/Douglas nonattainment area in Arizona is currently attaining the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter less than ten microns in diameter (PM10).

January 2011: Particulate Matter in Paul Spur/Douglas, AZ

EPA has signed a direct final rule determining, based on quality-assured, certified ambient monitoring data, that the Paul Spur/Douglas area in Arizona attained the 1987 primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter (PM-10) as of the applicable attainment date of December 31, 1994. The Act and our regulations require three years of quality-assured, certified ambient air quality data to make this finding. We also determine that the area has not continued to attain the standard through the present.
