3. Florida has Larry!

4. Issues New NAAQS and Permitting Revisions to Chapter 62-210, F.A.C.
Ozone, NO2, SO2
Revisions to Chapter , F.A.C.
Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials
CAIR Replacement Rule
Other Tidbits

5. Ozone Final standard to be announced by August 31
Expected level to be from to ppm
Florida WILL have nonattainment areas – see following slide
Nonattainment areas will be categorized according to severity (marginal, moderate, serious, etc.) – details to be published as implementation guidance also by August 31.

6. Areas in red indicate the CBSAs above various ozone standards (between ppb proposed, currently 75 ppb) based on data.

7. Ozone Nonattainment Requirements
Nonattainment New Source Review
Must offset emissions increases of NOx and VOC.
Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER).
Net air quality improvement demonstration.
Transportation Conformity
Transportation plans must show that emissions of NOx and VOC do not exceed SIP emissions budgets.

8. NO2 NAAQS
On January 22, 2010 EPA
Added a 1-hour NO2 standard at 100 parts per billion (ppb); and
Retained the annual average NO2 standard at a level of 53 ppb
Current monitoring data show attainment of both 1-hour and annual standards.
No rule addressing details for PSD permit applications.
EPA guidance finalized Jun 29, 2010 recommends Significant Impact Level of 4 ppb (4% of the standard)
Working with applicants to propose and substantiate a SIL on each project.
EPA expects to designate by January 2012

9. SO2 NAAQS
On June 2, 2010, EPA revised the primary SO2 standard : 75 ppb – 1 hour standard.
Effective August 23, 2010.
Current data shows nonattainment in Escambia, Hillsborough, and Nassau counties.
Initial designations will be based on data. (by June 2012)
Additional nonattainment areas could be determined through air quality modeling.
SIPS for nonattainment due 2014 outlining actions to comply no later than august 201

10. Rule 62-210, F.A.C. Updates Removing TV General Permits
Flexibility to allow GPs at a TV facility for temporary activities
Air Pollution Control Equipment
Engines!!

16. Non Hazardous Secondary Materials
Characterizing which secondary materials are: fuel, ingredient or solid waste
Coal fly ash is presumed to be an ingredient for cement but EPA is taking comment (ends August 3)
If is fuel, must also be “sufficiently processed” & legitimacy criterion
If is solid waste, sources become subject to CISWI/129 standards instead of MACT

17. Interstate Transport Rule (CAIR replacement)
Bases state allocations on contributions to non-attainment
Eliminates fuel adjustment factors
Does not tie-in with Acid Rain allowances
A state’s emissions budget is the quantity of emissions that would remain after elimination of the part of significant contribution and interference with maintenance that EPA has identified in an average year (i.e., before accounting for variability

18. Interstate Transport Rule
Taking comment on whether Florida should be group 2 or moved to group 1 for SO2
Proposing budgets include a variability factor such that there are 1 and 3 year variability limits above budget
