M.V. RESOLOTION N0. 84- 24 Page -2- WHEREAS, ozone standard violations monitored more than six (6) months af ter the December 31, 1982 deadline are not a legitimate ground f or USEPA's proposal that the 1982 Ohio Revised SIP demonstra- tion of ozone standard attainment by that date was erroneous; and WHEREAS, the action of the United States Department of Agriculture in designating Lake and Geauga Counties as 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 unusual incidence of weather conditions which propose 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 revisions would not have been jeopardized by monitored data collected during Summer 1983; and WHEREAS, while the USEPA is proposing to disapprove the Cleveland Area 1982 ozone SIP revisions and to reguire a mandatory inspection and maintenance program, other major metropolitan areas which experienced similar or worse ozone standara violations during Summer 1983 are only being asked to review their SIP's and consider adoption of controls which will reduce hydrocarbon emissions; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OHIO, TAAT: Section 1.
