NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Rule R307-305 sets visible emission limits, testing methods and schedules, and compliance schedules for sources of air pollution that are regulated under Utah's PM10 state implementation plan to protect public health. Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a) allows the Air Quality Board to make rules "...regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources and the establishment of the maximum quantity of air contaminants that may be emitted by any air contaminant source."

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

There have been no comments on this rule since the last five-year review.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Emission limits and testing of emissions, which this rule outlines, help to ensure that industrial facilities are operating properly and emitting the least possible pollution to protect human health. Additionally, Rule R307-305 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan and cannot be deleted without EPA approval. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
