Nonattainment Areas in the Mid-Atlantic Region
The information and links below will provide you with information about
air quality in a specific area. Areas are designated as nonattainment
when ambient air monitoring indicates that an air quality standard is
not being attained. Once an area attains the standard and makes
a request for redesignation, the State must prepare a plan to show the
area will maintain the standard. The State's preparation
of the plan and EPA's review can take a significant amount of time.
Therefore it is possible for some areas designated as nonattainment to
have current ambient data indicating they are meeting the standard.
