Chapters 173-405, 173-410, 173-415 WAC

On April 23, 2019, Ecology amended three rules:

to align with the August 2018 amendments to Chapter 173-400 WAC — General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources.  Ecology revised Chapter 173-400 WAC to comply with EPA’s direction in the Startup-Shutdown-Malfunction State Implementation Plan Call (SSM SIP Call) (80 FR 33840).

Changes include:

  • Allow more time to submit source test report.
  • Delete outdated provisions.
  • Correct errors.
  • Clarify rule language to make it easier to understand.
