On February 7, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the primary annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard for fine particulates (PM2.5) from 12.0 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) to 9.0 µg/m3. As a result, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is developing its proposed boundary recommendations describing the geographic extent of attainment, nonattainment, or unclassifiable areas of the state with respect to the revised annual PM2.5 standard.

Information on the initial draft boundary recommendation in Santa Cruz County will be shared at two upcoming meetings:

Session 1 – Online Only

Date: July 15, 2024

Time: 4 p.m. MST

Location: Online via GoToWebinar

Session 2 – In-Person

Date: July 18, 2024

Time: 2 p.m. MST

Location: Rio Rico Medical and Fire District Training Facility

957 Calle Calabasas
