2 Air Toxics Permitting N.J.A.C. 7: Control and Prohibition of Air Pollution by Toxic Substances Lists 11 Toxic Substances (Group I) Lists 2 more in Group II

3 Air Toxics Permitting Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Linked to Clean Air Act HAP list Listed in our permit regulations (separately for minor sources and operating permits)

4 Air Toxics Permitting N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 Permits and Certificates for Minor Facilities (and Major Facilities without an Operating Permit) N.J.A.C. 7:27-22 Operating Permits

5 Air Toxics Permitting Reporting thresholds (lb/year) determine whether a HAP needs to be included in a minor source or operating permit

6 N.J.A.C. 7:27-8

7 NJDEP Division of Air Quality Risk Screening A short-cut for determining potential risk for the thousands of Air Pollution Control Permits processed every year.

8 Risk Screening All HAPs listed in a permit are subject to risk screening Source-specific Makes use of “Air Impact Values” to estimate ambient air concentrations Dependent on stack height, distance to property line, emission rate in ton/year & lb/hour Excel Risk Screening Worksheet at

14 Air Toxics Emissions Inventory Major point sources report to Emissions Statements Program Limited to 36 “Toxic Air Pollutants” (TAPs) Facility-wide totals only Other data comes from sources indirectly (other reporting programs)

15 NJDEP Air Toxics Monitoring 4 locations Volatiles, metals, and semi- volatiles Sampling every 6 days

16 NJDEP Air Toxics Monitoring Network

17 NJDEP Air Toxics Monitoring Annual Air Quality Report can be found at Air Toxics Summary Fine Particle Speciation Summary (Appendix B)

18 Special Projects Camden Waterfront South Air Toxics Pilot Project Urban Community Air Toxics Monitoring Project, Paterson (UCAMPP) Data being processed

19 Camden Waterfront South Air Toxics Pilot Project Fall 2002 – August 2005 Emissions inventory Site visits Dispersion modeling Air monitoring (toxics, PM 2.5 ) Community Advisory Committee meetings Risk reduction strategies

20 Camden Waterfront South Air Toxics Pilot Project Risk reduction strategies: Stationary source emission reductions Truck emissions reductions Environmental health education Vegetation for dust suppression

21 Urban Community Air Toxics Monitoring Project, Paterson (UCAMPP) Identification of risk reduction strategies for air toxics in an urban community through: Emissions inventory Site visits Outreach & education Dispersion modeling Air monitoring

22 Diesel Initiatives Mandatory Diesel Retrofit Program Idling Restrictions Idling Alternatives and Demonstration Projects School Buses Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicle Inspection Program Reducing Soot at the Ports
