WHEREAS, the U. S. Department of Agriculture action in de- signating Lake anal Geauga Counties Disaster Loan Areas because of "drought and high temperatures" shows that these summer 1983 ozone standard violations occurred at a time when there was a highly un- usual incidence. of weather conditions which produce excessive levels of ozone; and WHEREAS, if the Cleveland area had experienced these highly unusual meteorological conditions but had already received USEPA approval of the 1982 ozone SIP revisions, approval of the SIP re- visions would not have been jeopardized by monitored data collected during summer 1983; and WHEREAS, while USEPA is proposing to disapprove the Cleveland area 1982 ozone SIP revisions and to require a mandatory inspection and maintenance program, other major metropolitan areas which exper- fenced similar or worse ozone standard violations during summer 1983 are only being asked to review their SIPS ar}d consider adoption of controls which will reduct hydrocarbon emissions, now, therefore; BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKEWOOD, STATE OF OHIO: Section 1.
