The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality (DAQ) is accepting public comments on an analysis of smoke impacts in North Carolina from the 2023 Canadian wildfires. This analysis, called an Exceptional Events Demonstration, is intended to support DAQ’s recommendation that the state be designated in attainment with a stricter air quality standard for fine particulate matter.

NOTE: The public hearing noticed below has been canceled because the Division did not receive a request to hold a public hearing before the Dec. 13 deadline to submit a request. Comments on the Exceptional Events demonstration will continue to be accepted through Dec. 20.
