Manitowoc and Door County Meet Ozone Standards

U.S. EPA Region 5 has approved requests from the state of Wisconsin to redesignate Manitowoc and Door County as attainment areas for the national health-based eight-hour outdoor standard for ozone. Ground level ozone is commonly referred to as smog.

EPA reviewed three years of complete, quality-assured, outdoor air monitoring data for 2006, 2007 and 2008 as part of the analysis to determine whether the areas meet the standard. Complete quality-assured monitoring data for 2009 show that the areas continue to meet the standard.

EPA also approved Wisconsin’s plans to continue to meet the eight-hour health-based ozone standard in these areas through 2020 and approved motor vehicle emission budgets for Manitowoc and Door counties.
