------ Atlanta;-<3eurghr3-fl30:t-o31()4-------- Re: Certification of 11O(a) Infrastructure Elements for the 2010 1-Hour N02 NAAQS Dear Ms. Fleming: With this letter, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) certifies that Georgia's current State Implementation Plan (SIP) contains the Section 11O(a) elements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) that meet the requirements of the 1-hour N02 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) as determined in 2010. · Section 11O(a)(1) of the CAA requires states to submit plans to provide for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of any new or revised NAAQS. The details of this plan are specified in 11O(a)(2). States are required to include in these SIPs specific infrastructure elements that provide assurances that the State will have the resources and authorities to establish the basic programs to implement, maintain, and enforce the new or revised standards. The specific elements of Section 11O(a)(2) are listed below:
• Enforceable Emission Limitations and Other Control Measures [§110(a)(2)(A)] • Air Quality Monitoring, Compilation, Data Analysis, and Reporting [§11 O(a)(2)(B)] • Enforcement and Stationary Source Permitting [§11O(a)(2)(C)] • Interstate Transport [§110(a)(2)(D)] • Resources, Conflict of Interest, and Emergency Backstop .[§11O(a)(2)(E)] • Stationary Source Emissions Monitoring and Reporting [§110(a)(2)(F)] • Emergency Powers and Contingency Plans [§110(a)(2)(G)] • SIP Revision for Revised Air Quality Standards or New Attainment Methods [§11O(a)(2)(H)] • SIP Revisions for New Nonattainment Areas [§110(a)(2)(1)] • Consultation and Public Notification [§11 O(a)(2)(J)] • Air Quality Modeling and Reporting [§110(a)(2)(K)] • Major Stationary Source Permitting Fees [§11 O(a)(2)(L)] • Consultation with Local Entities [§110(a)(2)(M)]Gwendolyn Keyes Fleming Page two

### _____________________________________________ _ Section 110(a)(2)(A) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 

### NOz NAAQS "include enforceable emission limitations and othercontrol measures, means, ortechniques (including economic incentives such as fees, marketable permits, and auctions ofemissions rights), as well as schedules and timetables for compliance". GeorgiaAuthority:
• GeorgiaRules for Air Quality391-3-1-.01 -"Definitions. Amended."
• GeorgiaRules for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02- "Provisions. Amended."
• GeorgiaRules for Air Quality 391-3-1-.03- "Permits. Amended." The Georgia Rules for Air Quality currently meet all CAA requirements for the 2010 N02 NAAQS and were subject to State aud Federal (40 CFR 51.102) public participation requirements. They were previously submitted to EPA according to the provisions of40 CFR Part 51. 

### Air Quality Monitoring, Compilation, Data Analysis, and Reporting [§110(a)(2)(B)] Section 110(a)(2)(B) ofthe CAA requires that Georgia's StateImplementationPlan for the 2010 N02 NAAQS "provide for establishment and operation of devices, methods, systems, andprocedures to: (i) monitor, compile, and analyze data on ambientairquality, and (ii) upon request, makesuch data available to theAdministrator." MonitoringNetwork: Georgia EPD produces au annual ambient monitoring network piau and periodic network assessment in accordance with 40 CFR 58.10. The purpose ofthe annual ambient monitoring network plan is two-fold. First, the plan confirms that the network continues to meet the State and Local Air Monitoring Stations (SLAMS) criteria established by federal regulations aud that the information in the state aud federal monitoring records properly classifies each monitoring station. Second, the piau serves as a directory of existing State and Local Air Monitoring 1Stations (SLAMS), Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS), Speciation Trends Network (STN) and Supplemental Speciation sites, National Air Toxics Trends Station (NATTS), Special Purpose Monitoring (SPM), Georgia Air Toxics Network, Acid Rain sites, and the meteorological-parameters performed at each location. Georgia's previous Ambient Monitoring plan has been approved. GA EPD submitted the 2012 Ambient Air Monitoring Plan to EPA on June 19, 2012. EPA approved the plan on October 16, 2012, with two minor exceptions, one of which requires additional information for the near-road N02 monitoring requirement. As ofthe this submittal, EPD continues to work with EPA to meet the monitoring

• Georgia's authority to monitor ambient air quality is found in the Georgia Air Quality ActArticle 1: Air Quality(O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq.)
• The Air Planning Agreement (APA) between EPA and the State ofGeorgia documents and affirms the obligation to operate an ambient monitoring network that complies with applicablefederal regulation(s).
• No specific statutory or regulatory authority is necessary to authorize data analysis orthe submission of such data to EPA. Federal grant requirements,' the APA, and the underlying Federalregulations establishthe obligationto provide datato EPA.
• Georgiahas and will continue to submit datato EPA'sAir Quality System. 

### Enforcement and Stationary SourcePermitting [§110(a)(2)(C)] Section 110(a)(2)(C) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS "include a program to provide for enforcement ofmeasures in (A), and regulation ofthe modification and construction of any stationary source within the areas covered by the plan as necessary to assure that NAAQS are achieved, including a permit program as required in parts C and D." Georgia Authority- Enforcement: Georgia EPD's Enforcement Program covers mobile and stationary sources, consumerproducts, and fuels.
• Georgia's enforcement authority is found in Georgia Air Quality Act Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq.)
• The AirPlanning Agreement.
• GeorgiaRule 391-3-1-.07- "Inspections and Investigations. Amended."
• GeorgiaRule 391-3-1-.09- "Enforcement. Amended." 2Georgia Authority- Stationary Source Permitting:

- Nonattainment New Source Review requirements under Georgia Rules for Air Quality 391-3-l-.03(8)(c) and (g). PartDprograms are required for areas that are designated nonattainment for aNAAQS. Since there are no N02nonattainment areas in Georgia, aPart D permitprogram is notrequired. OtherEPA infrastructure guidance states that "States need to have inplace aPSD programthat applies to all regulatedNSRpollutants,including GHG." On September 8, 2011, U.S. EPA approved revisions to Georgia's PSD programto incorporate provisions relatedto GHGs andto EPA's May 16,2008,NSRPM2 .5Rule (76 FR55572). The 10/20/2010PSD rule changes (for PM2 .s) were adopted bythe DNRBoard on 6/27/2012, and were submittedto EPAfor approval on 7/26/2012. EPA proposed pattial approval ofthis submittal on 1/14/2013. 

### Interstate Transport [§110(a)(2)(D)] ofthe CleanAirAct Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) ofthe CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS "contain adequate provisions- (i) prohibiting, consistent with the provisions ofthis subchapter, any source or other type of emissions activity within the State from emitting any air pollutant in amounts which will- (I) contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, any other State with respect to any such national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard, or (II) interfere with measures required to be included in the applicable implementation plan for any other State under Part C to prevent significant deterioration ofair quality or to protectvisibility." Georgia Authority: for Subsection (2)(D)(i)(l) Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) is also known as the good neighbor provision of the CAA in that upwind States are responsible for the effects oftheir pollution on downwind States. Under this section ofthe Act, States are responsible for reducing their "significant contribution" to those downwind nonattainment or maintenance areas. The August 21, 2012 decision by The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to vacate the 2011 Cross-State Air 

### 3 -----PollutionRule (CSAPR) (EME Homer City Generation, L.P. b. EPA, No. 11-1302) clarified that only EPA can determine "significant contribution" and that "a SIP cannot be deemed to lack a required submission or be deemed deficient for failing to implement the good neighbor obligation until after EPA has defined the State's good neighbor obligation". Once EPA determines Georgia's significant contribution to nonattainment or maintenance areas in downwind States, then EPA may require Georgia to submit a SIP revision under Section 110(k)(5) or submit a new SIP under Section 110(a)(1) ofthe CAA.

- ..-----In-aaditian,--the-Navember 19, 201-2-EPkmemo-frorrrtJimrMcearthy, 

### F<ssisranrAdmifiisUator;- cited the court decision that "a SIP cannot be deemed deficient for failing to meet the good neighbor obligation before EPA quantifies the obligation." As of the submission of this document, EPA has yet to determine Georgia's significant contribution ofN02 , in regards to the 2010 N02NAAQS, to any downwind State. It is also impotiant to note that there are currently no areas designated as nonattainment or maintenance underthe 2010 N02 NAAQS. Therefore, no revisionto Georgia's SIP is necessary atthe time to incorporatethis element ofSection 110(a) ofthe CAA. Georgia Authority: for Subsection (2)(D)(i)(II)
• PSD requirements under GeorgiaRules for Air Quality391-3-1-.02(7). All new major sources and major modifications in Georgia, including major sources ofNitrogen Oxides, are currently subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) under Georgia Rule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(7). Please see the discussion for §110(a)(2)(C) for the current state of the PSD program. Additionally, there are no nonattainment areas subject to NonattainmentNew Source Review for the 20I0N02NAAQS. Georgia has developed and implemented a Regional Haze State Implementation Plan to protect visibility. Georgia has three Class I areas: the Cohutta Wilderness Area, the Okefenokee Wilderness Area and the Wolf Island Wilderness Area. Of these three areas, IMPROVE monitors are located at the Cohutta Wilderness Area and Okefenokee Wilderness Area. Georgia's Regional Haze SIP revision addresses visibility improvement inthese areas and those affected in downwind states and also demonstrates that oxides ofnitrogen are not significant contributors to visibilityimpairment. On June 28, 2012, EPA promulgated a limited approval of Georgia's Regional Haze State Implementation plan. The limited approval ofthe SIP was due to the disapproval ofGeorgia's Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) approach, which relied on the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) to satisfy BART for Electric Generating Units (EGUs) for S02 and NOx. The disapproval was promulgated June 7, 2012, and included a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) to meet BART for EGUs in Georgia, requiring no further action from Georgia to meet the BART requirement.

4Section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) ofthe CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS contain adequate provisions "insuring compliance with the applicable requirements of sections 126 and 115 of this title (relating to interstate and international pollution abatement)." Georgia Authority: for Subsection (2)(D)(ii)
• GeorgiaAir QualityAct Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq.)
• PSD regulationunderGeorgiaRule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(7).
• Permittingregulations under GeorgiaRule forAir Quality 391-3-1-.03.
• In addition, nothing in Georgia's statutory or regulatory authority prohibits or otherwise interferes with Georgia's abilityto exercise sections 126 and 115 ofthe CAA. AllPSDrequirements have eitherbeenapproved byEPAfor Georgia orhavebeen submittedfor approval toEPA. 

### Resources, Conflict ofInterest, and EmergencyBackstop [§110(a)(2)(E)] Section 110(a)(2)(E)(i) ofthe CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02NAAQS "provide (i) necessary assurances that the State
...will have adequate personnel funding, and authority under State
...law to carry out such implementation plan (and is not prohibited by anyprovision ofFederal or Statelaw from carrying outsuchplan), (ii) requirements that the State comply with the requirements respecting State boards underSection 128, and (iii) necessary assurances that, where the State has relied on a local or regional government, agency, or instrumentality for the implementation ofany plan provision, the Statehas responsibilityfor ensuring adequate implementation ofsuchplanprovision." GeorgiaAuthority: (i)
• This is accomplished through the CAA Section 105 grant process, Georgia Air Quality Act Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. 12-9-10), and Georgia Rule for Air Quality 391-3- 1-.03(9) [GeorgiaAir PermitFee System].

5Georgia Authority: (ii)
• Georgia's authority is found in Georgia Air Quality Act Article 1: Air Quality O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq. Section 12-9-5(a) is the specific provision that complies with CAA 128.

o GeorgiaRules for Air Quality 391-3-1-.03- "Permits. Amended." Georgia Authority: (iii) Georgiadoes notrely onlocalities for specific SIP implementation. There are several specific elements that must be identified to satisfy the requirements ofSection 110(a)(2)(E):
• In accordance with 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart M, Georgia EPD will develop, implement, and enforcethe SIP as awhole.
• In accordance with 40 CFR 51, Subpart 0, a description ofthe resources available to the EPD to carry out the SIP was included with Georgia's Title V Permit Program plan submitted onNovember 12, 1993.
• In accordance with 40 CFR 51, Subpart L, a legal opinion from the Georgia's Attorney General regarding the EPD's legal authority was also included with Georgia's Title V Permit Programplan submitted onNovember 12, 1993.
• Georgia complies with Clean AirAct Section 128.
• Georgia retains responsibility for ensuring adequate implementation of Georgia's obligations withrespect to the 2010 N02NAAQS. 

### Stationary Source Emissions Monitoring and Reporting [§110(a)(2)(F)] Section 110(a)(2)(F) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 NOz NAAQS "require, as maybe prescribed by the Administrator- 

### (i) Installation, maintenance, and replacement of equipment, and implementation of other necessary steps, by owners or operators of stationary sources to monitor emissions, 

### (ii) Periodic reports on the nature and amounts ofemissions and emissions-related data, and 6(iii) Correlation of snch reports by the State agency with any emission limitations or standards established pursuant to the CAA, which reports shall be available at reasonable times for public inspection." Georgia Authority:
• The GeorgiaAir Quality Act: Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12-9,.etseq.)
• GeorgiaRule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(3)- "Sampling."
• GeorgiaRule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(6)- "Source Monitoring."
• Georgia Rule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(7)- "Prevention ofSignificant Deterioration of Air Quality."
• GeorgiaRule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(8)- "New Source Performance Standards."
• Georgia Rule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(9)- "Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants."
• GeorgiaRule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.02(11)- "ComplianceAssurance Monitoring."
• GeorgiaRule for Air Quality 391-3-1-.03- "Permits. Amended." EPD has met and will consistentlymeet the emissions reporting requirements of40 CPRPart51, including the AirEmissions ReportingRequirements (AERR). 

### Emergency Powers and ContingencyPlans [§110(a)(2)(G)] Section 110(a)(2)(G) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS "provide for authority comparable to that in Section 303 and adequate contingency plans to implement such authority." Section 303 provides legal authority to the U.S. EPA to halt the emission ofair pollutants that present an irnruinent and substantial endangerment to public health or welfare or the enviromnent. U.S. EPA is authorized to either bring a lawsuit in federal court or, ifsuch civil action cannot assure prompt protection ofpublic health or welfare, to issue such orders as may be necessaryto protectpublichealth orwelfare or the environment. The requirement for states to provide adequate contingency plans to implement such authorityis intended to establish emergency episode plans for responding to elevated pollutant levels in urban areas. Emergency episode plans are required in areas that record ambient pollutant concentrations inexcess ofthreshold levels specified in 40 CPR Part 51.150.
7Section 303 of the CAA authorizes the Administrator to take certain emergency actions if pollutionlevels in an area constitute "animminent and substantial endangerment topublichealth or welfare, or the environment." Section 11O(a)(2)(G) of the CAA requires that SIPs must provide for the authority comparable to that in Section 303 and must include adequate contingencyplans to implement such authority. Pursuantto these provisions, EPApromulgated 40 CFR 51.16 (36 FR 24002, November 21, 1971), which established "significant harm levels" for five criteriapollutants

- S02, inhalable particulate matter (PM10), N02 , CO, and ozone. Part 51.16 was eventually restructured as Subpart H and Appendix L of Part 51 (51 FR 40668,

### SIP Revision for Revised Air Quality Standards or NewAttainment Methods [§110(a)(2)(H)] Section 110(a)(2)(H) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS "provide for revision ofsuch plan- (i) from time to time as necessary to take account ofrevisions ofsuch national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard or the availability ofimproved or more expeditious methods ofattainingsuch standard, and (ii) except as provided in (3)(C), whenever the Administrator finds on the basis of information available to EPA that the plan is substantially inadequate to attain the NAAQS which it implements or to otherwise comply with any additional requirements established under this chapter." Georgia Authority:

• The GeorgiaAir Quality Act: Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq.)
• TheAirPlanningAgreement.
• GeorgiaEPD is required by 12-9-6(b)(12) ofthe GeorgiaAir QualityActto submit SIP revisions wheneverrevised air quality standards arepromulgatedbyU.S. EPA 8

### SIP Revisions for NewNonattainmentAreas [§ 110(a)(2)(1)] Section 110(a)(2)(I) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS provide "in the case ofa plan or plan revision for an area designated as a nonattainment area, meet the applicable requirements ofPart D (relating to nonattainment areas)." This requirement only applies when an area is designated as nonattainment with the N02 ·· · ·········· ····· ··NAAQS

## a separate provision and schedule as defined by the CAA. Therefore, no submission for this elementis necessary. 

### Consultation and Public Notification [§110(a)(2)(J)] Section 110(a)(2)(J) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 NOz NAAQS "meet applicable requirements of Section 121 (relating to consultation), Section 127 (relating to public notification), and Part C (relating to prevention of significant deterioration ofair quality and visibility protection)." Georgia Authority: Section 121 requires that states provide a satisfactory process of consultation with general purpose local governments, designated organizations ofelected officials oflocal governments, and any affected federal landmanagerincarrying out CAArequirements.
• The GeorgiaAir QualityAct: Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq.).
• GeorgiaAdministrative Procedures Act (O.C.G.A. §50-13-4).
• GeorgiaRule 391-3-1-.02(7) as itrelates to Class I areas.
• Georgia EPD commits to maintaining a process ofconsultation with patties designated under Section 121. Specifically, 12-9-5(b)(17) of the Georgia Air Quality Act states that the DNR Board is to "establish satisfactoryprocesses ofconsultation and cooperationwithlocal governments or other designated organizations of elected officials or federal agencies for the purpose of planning, implementing, and determining requirements under this article to the extent required by the federal act." Section 127 requires the states to provide measures which will be effective to notify the public on a regular basis ofinstances or areas in which any air quality standard is exceeded during the preceding calendar year, to advise thepublic ofthe healthhazards associated with suchpollution, and to enhance public awareness ofmeasnres that can be taken to prevent such standards from being exceeded. 9• Daily air quality forecasts may be disseminated to the public in Atlanta via electronic GeorgiaDOTbillboards.
• The non-profit organization "Clean Air Campaign" disseminates statewide air quality information as well as ways to reduce airpollution.

• GeorgiaRule for Air Quality391-3-1-.02(7)- "Prevention ofSignificantDeterioration." Other EPA infrastructure guidance provides that "states remain obligated to adopt and submit a PSD program for EPA approval that applies to all regulated NSR pollutants, including GHG." U.S. EPA has approved revisions to Georgia's PSD program to incorporate provisions related to GHGs. Please see the discussion for §110(a)(2)(C} for the current state ofthe PSD program. There are no other applicable visibility protection obligations under Section 110(a)(2)(J) as a result ofthe 2010N02 NAAQS.


### Air QualityModeling and Reporting[§ 110(a)(2)(K)] Section 110(a)(2)(K) of the CAA requires that Georgia's SIP for the 2010 N02 NAAQS "provide for- (i) the performance ofsuch air quality modeling as the Administrator may prescribe for the purpose of predicting the effect on ambient air quality of any emissions of any air pollutant for which the Administrator has established a national ambient air quality standard, and (ii) the submission, upon request, of data related to such air quality modeling to the Administrator." Georgia Authority: (i)
• TheGeorgiaAir Quality Act: Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. Section 12-9, et seq.)
10• Other EPA infrastructure guidance provides that "EPA anticipates that the predominant type ofair quality modeling to be conducted with respect to implementing the 2010N02 NAAQS will be source-oriented dispersion modeling with models such as AERMOD." EPD currently has personnel with training and experience to conduct source-oriented dispersionmodeling withmodels such as AERMOD. GeorgiaAuthority: (ii)
