## Outline

- Characterization of the PM2.5 Problem in New Jersey
- Identification of Strategies
- NJ Workshop
- Regional
- Discussion of Strategies
- Conclusions

## New Jersey 

## Slide 4

## New Jersey Fine Particle (PM2.5) Monitoring Network

- New Jersey Fine Particle (PM2.5) Monitoring Network

## Slide 6

## Ozone and PM Attainment forecast with CAIR 

**Ozone and Fine Particle Nonattainment Areas (April 2005) **

**Projected Nonattainment Areas in 2010 after Reductions**
**from CAIR and Existing Clean Air Act Programs**

**Projections concerning future levels of air pollution in specific geographic locations were estimated using the best scientific models available.  They are estimations, however, and should be characterized as such in any description.  Actual results may vary significantly if any of the factors that influence air quality differ from the assumed values used in the projections shown here.**

**Ozone and PM Attainment forecast with CAIR **
**and with Other Clean Air Programs - 2010**

**104 ozone nonattainment areas (408counties)**
**36 PM****2.5**** **
**nonattainment areas with 195 counties**

**14 ozone nonattainment areas **
**19  PM2.5 nonattainment areas**

## Results of CAIR modeling

- Some of the larger metropolitan areas in the Northeast are predicted to have PM2.5 levels in 2010 that are just below the standard.

## Slide 9

## Key Pollutant = Sulfates

## Composition of Fine Particles

**Composition of Fine Particles**

**Elizabeth, N.J.**

- Formed From SO2 Transported from

- Regional and Local Sources; Oil and

- Coal-fired Utility and Commercial/

- Institutional Boilers, Small Combustion

- Sources

- Wind Erosion, Agricultural Tilling,

- Paved and Unpaved Roads and

- Construction Activities

- Diesels - Highway

- Diesels - Off Road

- Aircraft & Railway

- Gasoline Combustion

- Incineration, Open Burning

- Residential Wood Burning

- Structural Fires

- Utility/Commercial Fuel Combustion

- PM formed from Organic Gases

- Formed from NOx  Emitted From Regional and

- Local Sources, Highway Vehicles and Off-Road

- Diesel Mobile Sources

## Slide 12

## 2002 MANE-VU Region SO2 Emission Inventory Top 10

## 2002 MANE-VU Region NOx Emission Inventory Top 10

## 2002 MANE-VU Region PM2.5 Emission Inventory Top 10

- Note: Not Adjusted for Fugitive Dust

## NJ OutreachReducing Air Pollution Together

- June 29, 2005 - First Workshop
- Six workgroups formed
- Diesel initiatives
- Gasoline Cars and Trucks
- Homes and Restaurants
- Non-Automobile Gasoline Engines
- Stationary Combustion Sources
- Volatile Organic Compounds

## Reducing Air Pollution Together (Continued)

- Summer of 2005
- Workgroups meet - brainstorming sessions
- Fall/Winter 2005
- Workgroups submit reports to NJDEP
- Air workshop - November 14, 2005
- ~ 250 potential control measures
- May 17, 2006 – Second Workshop
- 60 white papers
- _[www.nj.gov/dep/airworkgroups/docs/wp_summary_table_web_2007.xls](http://www.nj.gov/dep/airworkgroups/docs/wp_summary_table_web_2007.xls)_

## Regional Strategies

- OTC
- Reasonable Measures Workgroup
- Control Strategy Workgroup
- HEDD Regional Effort
- MARAMA
- Refineries

## Areas of Control Strategies under Consideration

- Electric Generating Units
- Heating Oil and Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers
- Residential Wood Combustion
- Diesel
- Fugitive Emissions - BMP

## EGUs – Oil and Gas

- HEDD (High Energy Demand Day)
- Mostly turbines/some oil boilers
- NOx reductions
- Short term 5/1/09
- Long term 5/1/15
- Sulfur in Oil

## EGUs – Coal

- Multipollutant Performance Standards
- SO2/NOx/PM2.5 – new rule
- Hg – existing rule
- CAIR NOx allocations
- Output-based
- Rule being adopted
- Greater CAIR retirement ratios
- Under consideration

## Low Sulfur Oil + ICI Boiler Strategy

- Distillate
- 500 ppm by 2012 (2010 if possible)
- 15 ppm by 2016 (2015 if possible)
- #4 Residual
- 0.5% by 2012
- #6 Residual
- 0.3 to 0.5% by 2012

## Wood Combustion

- PM and VOC emissions contribute to Regional Haze
- Not as great an impact as sulfate
- More local impacts
- Nuisance and health reasons in addition to regional haze for addressing this category

## Wood Combustion - Control Options

- Public outreach and education programs
- Woodstove changeout programs to promote replacement of old equipment with cleaner burning equipment
- State requirements for new sources, stricter than federal NSPS
- State requirements for outdoor wood boilers/hydronic heaters
- Existing “no visible emission” requirement being enforced.

## Diesel Strategies 

- Diesel Risk Reduction Law
- Signed September 2005
- Focuses on diesel particulate emissions
- Requires and funds crankcase and tailpipe retrofits on 40,000 diesel vehicles (15% of engines)
- Strengthens anti-idling enforcement
- Rule adoption expected this month

## Regulated Vehicles

- School Buses
- Solid Waste Vehicles
- Publicly owned or in a contract w/public entity
- Public & Private Commercial Buses
- Publicly-owned on-road vehicles
- Publicly-owned off-road equipment

## School Buses

- NJDEP adopt regulations Summer 07
- Install closed crankcase technology Summer 09
- Study to determine if tailpipe controls also necessary – Summer 07
- If so, additional rules prioritized.

## Idling

- Enforce 3 minute idling limit for diesel powered vehicles.
- Extensive outreach and education campaign.
- Adopt rule amendments.
- Provide alternatives such as truck stop electrification.
- Encourage school districts, bus companies and parents to sign “No Idling pledge.”

## Idling - continued

- Local police can enforce
- Bus owner, school district and driver liable.
- Phase out exemption for sleeper berths in 2010.
- Tighten language for other exceptions.

## Diesel Inspection and Maintenance

- Inspection and maintenance program since 1998 for diesel vehicles.
- NJDEP limits amount of visible emissions or “smoke.”
- Reducing allowable smoke – proposal in July 2007.
- Diesel vehicles greater than 18,000 pounds must go to annual emissions inspection at Diesel Emissions Inspection Center.
- State police also pull over vehicles on highways to check emissions (and safety issues).
