This proposed report is a Five-year Progress Report for the Regional Haze Second Planning Period of 2018 to 2028.  It documents New Jersey’s continued progress in reducing emissions within the State resulting in improved visibility levels and demonstrates that the Department will meet New Jersey’s 2028 visibility goal at its Class I area: the Brigantine Wilderness Area in the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (Brigantine Wilderness Area). This Progress Report is intended to fulfill the requirements of the Regional Haze Rule and to serve as a periodic report for the second regional haze planning period from 2018 to 2028. In this progress report, New Jersey affirms that its approved regional haze SIP for the second planning period is adequate for making reasonable progress towards New Jersey’s visibility goal of achieving natural visibility conditions at Class I areas by 2064.
