[Durham INC] FW: Public Comment Period on Air Quality Conformity

[Pat Carstensen]

If you are interested in this kind of thing, there's quite a bit of detail on the requirements we have to meet and how the models work.  If you aren't so interested, the bottom line is that the targets have gotten tougher, but our plans show we can meet them.  Not that anyone should take that as permission to be stupid about how much air pollution their transportation choices create (-:
Regards, pat
