Re: Regional Haze Program Requirements 

# n 0**DearM~:**

Pursuai1t to Section 169A of the Clean Air Act ("CAN') (42 U.S.C. § 7491) and Section 4 of the

Illinois Environmental Protection Act (4] 5 ILCS 5/4), the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency submits the enclosed revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan ("SIP"). This

revision has been prepared to satisfy Illinois' obligation under these sections to develop a Regional Haze SIP with measures necessary to make reasonable progress towards remedying visibility impairment in Class I areas. Under 40 CFR § 51.308, the core requirements for the plan include reasonable progress goals, calculations of baseline and natural visibility conditions,

a long-term strategy for regional haze, a monitoring strategy, and Best Available Retrofit Technology requirements for regional haze visibility impairment.

In order to assist with your review ofthis plan submittal, the following documents are enclosed (two

hard copies and one electronic copy on disc):

### EPA Checklist for Regional Haze SIPs Submitted Under 40 CFR 51.308
05/31/11

Purpose :

This checklist has been prepared by EPA staff to use in reviewing regional haze SIPs to ensure that the SIPs have the necessa ry components. The checklist represents our best efforts to summarize the requirements of the r egional haze rule but it is not a regulation and does not change or substitute for any legal requirements in the Clean Air Act (CAA) or the regional haze rule. Any decisions regarding the comp leteness of a particular
SIP will be made based on the CAA and the relevant regulations. Therefore, interested parties are free to raise questions and objections to the checklist and its use in a particular situation.

Acronyms and Terms :

BART is Best Available Retrofit Technology
CAA is the Clean Air Act
CAIR is Cl ean Air Interstate Rule EI is Emissions Inventory
FLM is F ederal L and M anager Glidepath is the linear rate of improvement sufficient to attain natural conditions by 2064 LTS is Long Term Strategy RAVI is Reasonably Attributable Visibility Impairment
RHR is the Regional Haze Rule RPO is Regional Planning Organization RPG is Reasonable Progress Goal

Notes :

1. This checklist is based on Appendix V to 40 CFR Part 51, and 40 CFR 51.308, as updated by the BART Rule (70 FR 39104, July 6,

2005), and the trading rule, as proposed in 70 FR 44154, August 1, 2005 . This checklist will be revised if necessary, should that be necessitated by the final version of the trading rule.
2. All boxes should either be “Y” or “N/A” or the SIP may be deficient.
3. This checkl ist assumes the State will not be participating in a trading program, or other alternative measure to BART. If this is not t he case, then additional/alternative regulations that appear in 51.308(e)(2) and (3) apply.
4. Only the requirements from 51.308 pe rtaining to the current RH SIP submission, and not those pertaining to future revisions and/or reports required under 51.308(f), (g), and (h) (except for a SIP commitment to do them) , were included.
