The Maricopa eight-hour ozone nonattainment area includes the 5,018 square mile area located predominantly in Maricopa County with a portion of Pinal County (i.e., the city of Apache Junction). The effective date of the Marginal area designation was July 20, 2012. Since the Marginal area has up to 3 years from the effective date of the designation for the attainment of the 2008 ozone NAAQS, the attainment date was set to July 20, 2015. The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) prepared the MAG 2014 Eight-Hour Ozone Plan. In compliance with the CAA requirements for the Marginal nonattainment area for ozone, the plan included an Emissions Statement, the 2011 Periodic Emissions Inventory, Pre-1990 Reasonably Available Control Technology Corrections, Nonattainment Area Preconstruction Permit Program, New Source Review, Emission Offset Requirements, Pre-1990 Corrections to Previously Required Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Programs, and Transportation Conformity Requirements Compliance. Since the modeled attainment demonstration is not required for Marginal areas under the CAA, the plan did not include the attainment demonstration for the 2008 ozone standard. The plan was submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in June 2014. EPA approved most elements of the plan except for the New Source Review on September 25, 2015. Since the area did not achieve the 2008 ozone standard by the required deadline of July 20, 2015, the Maricopa eight-hour ozone nonattainment area was subsequently proposed by EPA to be reclassified as a Moderate area on August 27, 2015 (FR, 2015). The deadline for Moderate areas to attain the 2008 ozone standard is July 20, 2018. Since EPA requires a modeled attainment demonstration if an area is classified as a Moderate area for the 2008 ozone standard, MAG has prepared this modeling protocol for the attainment demonstration for the 2008 ozone standard. For the attainment demonstration, EPA requires that all control measures necessary to demonstrate attainment be implemented prior to the start of the ozone season preceding the attainment year. Thus, the modeled attainment demonstration in this study verifies that all implemented federal and
