designation of any such area or part thereof which is calculated by air quality
modeling or shown by monitored data or other reliable methods to be invalid.

(2.5) Whenever monitoring data for any pollutant for which an area is

standard for that pollutant has been attained in accordance with the criteria
required under the federal act, the division and commission shall take expeditious
action to redesignate the area as attainment for that pollutant.

substance to adversely affect public health or welfare.

(4) All revisions of designations shall be submitted to the administrator of
the United States environmental protection agency.
