Air Quality Hot Spot Analysis - Summer 2024

Since the release of the Draft EIS, we have been working to incorporate comments from the public and agency partners to develop a Final EIS (FEIS). In response to feedback from the public and comments from agency partners, the team conducted additional air quality analysis. This analysis was focused on the area between 600 South and 600 North in SLC and the area around the I-215 interchange in North Salt Lake.

The analysis confirmed that the preferred alternative meets all conformity requirements. The technical report for the hot-spot analysis was available for public review for 30 days, ending Sept 16. Find the memo linked at right.
