Proposed Redesignation Request

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources is proposing a redesignation request for the St. Louis nonattainment area. The department invites the public to review and offer written comments on the proposed redesignation request until Feb. 3, 2022. All comments must be received or postmarked by 5 p.m. The public can review the proposed request below.

Written comments may be submitted by mail to Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Air Pollution Control Program, ATTN: Air Quality Planning Section Chief, PO Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176 or by email to apcpsip@dnr.mo.gov. The department will hold a public hearing about the proposed request during the Missouri Air Conservation Commission meeting on Jan. 27, 2022. Please follow the hearing link for more information. 

This redesignation request is not a revision to the Missouri State Implementation Plan. This proposal requests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to redesignate the Missouri portion of the St Louis nonattainment area to attainment under the 2015 ozone standard. This request is according to Section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air Act and demonstrates the area has met the required statutory elements to redesignate a nonattainment area to attainment. Redesignation to attainment will occur when EPA promulgates final approval of this request.
