Ozone Standard Compliance Status

San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA, 2014 - 2016 (as of August 7, 2016)

Regulatory Monitor Site 4th Highest Reading, ppb Current 3 Year Average 2014 2015 2016 Camp Bullis C58 72 80 63 71 San Antonio NW C23 69 79 66 71 Calaveras Lake C59 63 68 60 63

As of April 8, the San Antonio area’s ozone values exceeded the 2015

• zone threshold of 70 ppb. This places the area in violation of the

standard and indicates the EPA could designate the San Antonio area as a non-attainment area for ozone in October 2017.

Transportation Conformity

A non-attainment designation for ozone will require the MPO to undertake Transportation Conformity Transportation Conformity means evaluating future transportation projects to ensure they do not cause further harm to air quality
