(PM10)for Minnesota's Group II areas. The Group II areas of concern are in Minneapolis, Hennepin County; Duluth and Iron Range, St. Louis County; Iron Range, Itasca County; Two Harbors, Lake County; and St. Cloud, Stearns County.

In its submittal, the State also requested that EPA approve the maintenance plan for the area into the Minnesota PM SIP. The redesignation request and maintenance plan meet the redesignation requirements of the Clean Air Act.
