Proposed Revision to the State Implementa- tion Plan for Southeastern 

Pennsylvania Area (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and 

Philadelphia Counties) included in the Philadelphia-Wilmington, Atlantic 

City, PA-DE-MD-NJ 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Public Hearing 

[37 Pa.B. 2349] 

[Saturday, May 19, 2007] 

Ground-level ozone concentrations above the health-based 8-hour ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) pose a serious human health thr~at and can also 

cause damage to crops, forests and wildlife. The Commonwealth is seekillg public comment 

on a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Southeastern Pennsylvania area 

included in the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City, PA-DE-MD-NJ 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Area (Philadelphia Nonattainment Area). Effective June 15, 2004, the 

Pennsylvania portion of this "moderate" 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas, consists of 

Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties. 

The Commonwealth is seeking public comment on a revision to the SIP for this area. This 

document contains information on ozone trends in the area, decreases in emissions of ozone 

precursors and shows that the area meets all requirements necessary for an approvable SIP 

revision for a "moderate" nonattainment area. The plan demonstrates how the area will 

attain the health-based 8~hour ozone NAAQS by June 2010 by presenting evidence from 

photochemical modeling, ozone trends and regional tranSport impacts. The plan 

demonstrates how it will meet 2008 and 2009 reasonable further progress milestones for 

emission reductions through state and Federal control measures. It also contains the base 

year 2002 emissions inventory, a reasonably available control measure analysis, a 

contingency plan to bring the area back into attainment should violations of the NAAQS 

occur after the standard.is attained and mobile source emission budgets for purposes of 

transportation conformity. After consideration of comments received, the SIP revision will 

be finalized and submitted to the EPA for approval. 

This proposal is available on the Department's website at www.depweb.state.pa.us 

(choose "Air Topics") or through the contact persons listed. 

The Department will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the proposals on 

Friday, June 22, at 1 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection's Southeast 

Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA. Persons wishing to present testimony
