# 1.0 Introduction

The purpose of this document is to examine Maryland ’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) and

determine if all necessary implementation, maintena nce, and enforcement measures for the 8-

hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (N AAQS) are in place. §110(a)(2) of the

Clean Air Act lists specific requirements of any pl an. Should any portion of Maryland’s state

implementation plan be found lacking, a prompt subm ittal to correct such deficiencies must be

made.



# Maryland’s Approach

§110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act provides a detailed listing of various requirements for

Maryland’s state implementation plan regarding the national ambient air quality standards.

Below, each subparagraph from (A) through (M) is br oken down, with various provisions

supporting the requirements.

___________________________________________________ _________________________



# §110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act (Subparagraphs A – M)

EPA and Maryland Requirements

___________________________________________________ ______________

§110(a)(2)(A)

EPA Requirement:

Include enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, means, or

techniques (including economic incentives such as f ees, marketable permits, and auctions

of emissions rights), as well as schedules and time tables for compliance.

Maryland Requirement:

• COMAR 26.11 Air Quality.

• Mirant Consent Decree, which was entered by the Uni ted States District Court for

the Eastern District of Virginia on April 20, 2007.

• In addition, in June of 2007 Maryland submitted an 8-Hour Ozone State

Implementation Plans that include adopted regulatio ns necessary to meet the

NAAQS.



# ___________________________________________________ ______________

§110(a)(2)(B)

EPA Requirement:

## 5

Provide for establishment and operation of devices, methods, systems, and procedures to:

(i) monitor, compile, and analyze data on ambient a ir quality, and (ii) make such data

available to EPA.

Maryland Requirement:

• Maryland's authority to monitor ambient air quality is found under §§2-103(b)(2)

and 2-301 (a)(1), Environment Article, Annotated Co de of Maryland; and

COMAR 26.11.04.03 (specifying methods of measuring ambient air quality levels

shall be those specified in 40 C.F.R. Parts 50, 53 and 58).

• No specific statutory authority is necessary to aut horize data analysis or the

submission of such data to EPA. Federal grant requ irements establish the

obligation to provide data to EPA.

• Maryland has and will continue to submit data to EP A's Air Quality System

(AQS).



# ___________________________________________________ ______________

§110(a)(2)(C)

EPA Requirement:

§110(a)(2)(D)

EPA Requirement:

(i) Contain adequate provisions prohibiting any so urce or other type of emissions activity

from emitting any air pollutant in amounts which wi ll:

(I) contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or in terfere with maintenance

by, any other State with respect to any such nation al primary or secondary

ambient air quality standard.

Maryland Requirement:

Maryland fulfills this requirement with permitting and registration

requirements found in COMAR 26.11.02 and Nonattainm ent New Source Review

regulations found in COMAR 26.11.17 as stated above

.

Maryland understands that EPA is developing guidanc e on section

110(a)(2)(D)–the transport portion of infrastructur e SIPs- but this guidance has not

been released yet. The CAA requires each state to a ddress section 110 after a

NAAQS has been promulgated. This SIP submittal rep resents a demonstration from

Maryland that is consistent with what we believe th e new guidance should require

and what other states should submit to satisfy thei r responsibilities under the CAA.

Maryland supports the EPA-assigned CSAPR state emis sions budgets as well as

additional NOx and VOC reduction measures.

Maryland’s Influence on Downwind States

EPA’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) requir es twenty-five states to

reduce NOx emissions to help downwind areas attain the 1997 8-hour Ozone NAAQS

of 0.08 ppm. The rule addresses all upwind states' transport obligations under the

1997 ozone NAAQS. The rule determines the NOx leve ls from Maryland’s power

plants that address transport for the 0.08 ppm stan dard. Further reductions are

necessary to meet the 0.075 ppm standard.

EPA CSAPR Modeling Results

When developing the CSAPR, EPA used the Comprehensi ve Air Quality

Model with Extensions (CAMx) to quantify the contri bution of emissions from

“upwind” states to 8-hour ozone (0.08 ppm) nonattai nment in “downwind” states.

EPA’s CAMx modeling included state-specific source apportionment runs to quantify

each state’s downwind contributions to another stat es monitor, in projected 2012.

This 2012 “base case” run accounted for emission re ductions from adopted national,

regional and state control programs, but not projec ted reductions due to the proposed

CSAPR program or the CSAPR predecessor – Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR).

## 7 According to CSAPR modeling, the State of Maryland is a significant

contributor under the 1% of transported emissions C SAPR criteria, to many states

including Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, an d New York.

CSAPR REMEDY

The CSAPR addresses a state’s transport issue by es tablishing emission

budgets for a states electric generating units over 25MW. The NOx budgets are

based on a $500 per ton cost threshold. CSAPR addre sses the 1997 8-hour Ozone

NAAQS of 0.08 ppm. Additional emission reductions are needed for the 2008 8-hour

Ozone NAAQS of 0.075 ppm, which this SIP addresses.

Maryland Remedy

Maryland meets and exceeds the good neighbor obliga tions through state

regulations and does not rely solely on federal pro grams to fulfill the requirements of

§ 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). Due to the presence of nonat tainment areas, Maryland has

implemented numerous planning requirements designed to achieve compliance with

the NAAQS. Maryland has previously complied with t he requirements of § 110 in its

infrastructure SIPs, which have been approved by EP A. In doing so, Maryland, as a

state, has implemented one of the country’s most st ringent set of emission controls in

the country, aggressively regulating power plants, factories, and motor vehicles. By

implementing these controls state-wide, including i n attainment areas, Maryland has

helped reduce its ozone precursor emissions by abou t 40 percent since 1990, while

the National average during the same time period ha s been about 20 percent. Some of

the State-sponsored regulations that help Maryland comply with § 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)

are discussed below.

Maryland has enacted the Healthy Air Act, 1 

## a pollution control program which

requires substantial emissions reductions at the St ate’s coal burning electric

generating power plants (i.e. EGUs). The Healthy A ir Act (HAA) requires emission

reductions from power plants which, when compared t o a 2002 emissions baseline,

would reduce total NOx emissions by 70% in 2009 and 75% in 2012. In fact

Maryland has met the goal with 70% NOx reductions i n 2009, 2010 and 2011, which

reduced NOx emissions in Maryland by approximately 50,000 tons per year.

Maryland is on target to meet the 2012 reductions a nd will reduce NOx emissions by

approximately 75% from 2002 levels.

The HAA helps to address Maryland’s emissions contr ibution to many

downwind areas like PA, DE, CT and NJ. The HAA caps were based on Best

Available Control Technology (BACT) rates for the a ffected EGU units in the state.

The HAA is included in the CSAPR 2012 Base Case Emi ssion Levels. Maryland's

HAA state cap budget also compares with and support s the CSAPR budgets for NOx

emissions.

1 Md. Code Ann., Envir. §§ 2-1001-1002; Maryland Co de of Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.27).

## 8 Using IPM, EPA modeled the emissions that would occ ur within each state at

ascending cost thresholds of emissions control. EPA designed a series of IPM runs that

imposed increasing cost thresholds for SO 2 

## , annual NOx, and ozone-season NOx

emissions and tabulated those projected emissions f or each state at each cost level. EPA

refers to these tabulations as “cost curves. The co st curves report the remaining emissions

at each cost threshold after the state has made emi ssion reductions that are available up to

the particular cost threshold analyzed. For NOx oz one season, EPA determined that

$500/ton was the appropriate cost threshold for ozo ne-season NOx control at all covered

states in the CSAPR rulemaking. The results for th is modeling are presented in Table B1 below.

Additional Maryland Control Measures

Maryland has regulated emissions from its mobile se ctor by implementing an

enhanced vehicle emissions inspection and maintenan ce program (COMAR

11.14.08), Stage II gasoline pump controls (COMAR 2 6.11.24), heavy duty diesel

engine controls (COMAR 26.11.20.06), Tier I and Tie r II vehicle emissions standards

(COMAR 26.11.20), the Clean Car Act of 2007 (CAL LE V) (COMAR 26.11.34),

evaporative test procedures (COMAR 26.11.22), NLEV controls (COMAR

26.11.20.02), and reformulated gasoline in on-road vehicles (COMAR 26.11.20.03).

By being a CAL LEV state, Maryland has the toughest vehicle emission

standards allowed by law. The Maryland Clean Car P rogram was adopted in 2007,

after passage of the enabling legislation, as a str ategy to reduce ozone forming

emissions and decrease the carbon footprint from th e transportation sector. The

program, which has emission standards more strict t han the current federal standards,

aims to improve air quality by reducing emissions f rom the cars and light trucks we

drive everyday.

Beginning with vehicle model year 2011, all cars an d light trucks sold in

Maryland are required to meet these newer, more str ingent standards. Volatile

organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) will be reduced by

approximately 3.55 and 5.18 more tons/day, respecti vely, by 2025.

The State has also pursued significant regulation o f non-EGU industrial

sources, including Distributed Generation (COMAR 26 .11.26), Portland Cement

Manufacturing Plants (COMAR 26.11.29.03), Kraft Pul p Mills (COMAR 26.11.14),

Yeast Manufacturing Plants (COMAR 26.11.19.17.17), Commercial Bakeries

(COMAR 26.11.19.21.21), Iron and Steel Production ( COMAR 26.11.10.01, .06,

.07), Fuel Burning Equipment (COMAR 26.11.14.07), I ncinerators (COMAR

26.11.08), and Internal Combustion Engines at Natur al Gas Pipeline Compression

Stations (COMAR 26.11.29.05).

Maryland has implemented a substantial number of VO C rules targeted at

printers, consumer products, portable fuel containe rs, and industrial coating, adhesive,

and sealant operations. Pursuant to the requireme nts of §7511a(b)(2), Maryland has

implemented RACT controls for all source categories covered by a Control

Technique Guideline (CTG) issued by EPA, and on all other “major” stationary

sources emitting 25 tons per year or more of VOC or NOx (see Appendices for a

listing of NOx and VOC regulations). 3 

## Many of these Maryland specific regulations

are presented in the table below:

3 Maryland RACT controls have been promulgated at CO MAR 26.11.09.08 (Control of NOx emissions for Major Stationary

Sources), COMAR 26.11.11 (Control of Petroleum Prod ucts Installations, Including Asphalt Paving and As phalt Concrete

Plants), COMAR 26.11.13 (Control of Gasoline and Vo latile Organic Compound Storage and Handling), COMA R 26.11.19

(Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes ), COMAR 26.11.32 (Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic

Compounds from Consumer Products), COMAR 26.11.33 ( Architectural Coatings), and COMAR 26.11.35 (Volati le Organic

Compounds from Adhesives and Sealants).

## Maryland Supports Additional EPA Federal Control Me asures

Maryland also supports EPA’s planned federal emissi ons reduction measures such

as Tier 3 vehicles, ICI boilers, cement kiln regula tions and the Cross-State Air Pollution

Rule (CSAPR) and subsequent CSAPR II initiatives.

Additional Maryland Voluntary/Innovative Control Me asures

Maryland has also implemented the following program s in recent attainment SIPs

that are listed as voluntary and innovative measure s. MDE does not rely on any emission

reductions projected as a result of implementation of these programs to demonstrate

attainment because actual air quality benefits are uncertain and hard to quantify. These

strategies however assist in the overall clean air goals in Maryland. A list of these

programs is presented below:

• Regional Forest Canopy Program, Conservation, Resto ration, and Expansion:

expanded tree canopy cover is an innovative volunta ry measure proposed to

improve the air quality in the Baltimore region

• Clean Air Teleworking Initiative: encourages telewo rking on bad air days

## 11 • High Electricity Demand Day (HEDD) Initiative: On M arch 2, 2007, the OTC

states and the District of Columbia agreed to a Mem orandum of

Understanding (MOU) committing to reductions from t he HEDD source

sector

• Emission Reductions from Transportation Measures:

o Clean and Efficient Strategies such as diesel retro fits

o Traffic Flow Improvement (CHART) to reduce congesti on caused by

accidents

o Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) to reduce diesel t ruck idling

emissions

o Electronic Toll Collection

o Traffic Signal System Retiming

o Ride Share and Maryland Commuter Tax Credit

o Clean Commute Month including Bike to Work Day even ts

o Transit Oriented Development

o Bicycle/pedestrian Enhancements: the Maryland State Highway

Administration (SHA) has worked to engineer and imp lement new and

improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and has implemented

programs to encourage pedestrians

o MARC Station parking enhancements, refurbishment o f MARC

rolling stock, and locomotive retrofits

o MTA and LOTS bus purchases

o Bus service enhancements such as automatic vehicle locators (AVL),

next bus arrivals posted on electronic signs at sto ps, and on the internet

o Smart Card Implementation for easier travel between transit modes

o Port of Baltimore Initiatives: crane retrofits, cle an diesel in port

vehicles, hybrid port fleet vehicles

MDE is working with MDOT, local stakeholders, EPA R egion III and EPA

OTAQ on a regulation designed to achieve and additi onal 10% NOx reduction from

mobile sources in the Baltimore and Washington DC a reas. These mobile NOx from

these areas make up approximately 30% of the overal l NOx inventory from the state. If

successful, the regulations would result in a signi ficant reduction in NOx in these regions.

MDE research has shown that this effort could be th e single most important control effort

that Maryland can undertake to reduce both its loca l contribution to ozone and its

contribution to ozone in the Philadelphia region.

The regulation complements Maryland's current confo rmity regulations and asks local

and state transpiration decision makers to voluntar ily achieve the additional 10%

reduction as they add new projects to the transport ation plans in Baltimore and

Washington DC.

In total, Maryland’s control program implements som e of the most stringent local

controls in the country. These controls have resul ted in some of the lowest ozone

## 12

precursor emissions rates in the country. 4 

## A detailed list of many control measures that

have been previously SIPed are in Appendices A and B.

Statewide Regulations

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D) requires SIPs to include p rovisions prohibiting any source

or other type of emissions activity in one state fr om contributing significantly to

nonattainment, or interfering with maintenance, of the NAAQS in another state, or from

interfering with measures required to prevent signi ficant deterioration of air quality or to

protect visibility in another state.

Maryland interprets this section as meaning that th e state is required to address significant

contribution for the entire state, and not portions of a state or nonattainment areas. As such,

Maryland’s regulations apply statewide.



## Conclusion

The EPA CSAPR modeling results show that emissions from Maryland contribute

significantly to 8-hour ozone nonattainment 0.08 pp m standard in other states. As

discussed above, Maryland is in the process of adop ting or pursuing adoption of

additional control measures that are projected to f urther reduce its contribution to any

remaining downwind nonattainment. As a result Mary land expects to fully meet its CAA

section 110(a)(2)(D) obligations under a 0.075 ppm standard.

EPA Requirement:

(i) Contain adequate provisions prohibiting any so urce or other type of emissions activity

from emitting any air pollutant in amounts which wi ll:

(II) interfere with measures required to be included in the applicable

implementation plan for any other State under part C to prevent significant

deterioration of air quality or to protect visibili ty.

Maryland Requirement:

• PSD requirements under COMAR 26.11.06.14.

• NSR requirements under COMAR 26.11.17

• Maryland is required to develop and implement a Reg ional Haze State

Implementation Plan (SIP) to protect visibility. Ma ryland submitted this SIP to

4 According to EPA’s IPM analysis of the Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) for the Final Base Case modeling run,

Maryland is projected to emit 19.6 tons NOx during 2012 (8.5 tons NOx during the 2012 ozone season). Final Base Case data

available at http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/progsreg s/epa-ipm/transport.html

.

## 13 EPA in the first quarter of 2012. In addition, Mar yland has developed and

implemented a PM2.5 SIP in 2008 that assists with r educing visibility impairing

pollutants. The PM2.5 SIP relies on Maryland’s Heal thy Air Act (HAA) to

provide the bulk of these reductions. The HAA requi res emissions reductions

from power plants which, when compared to a 2002 em issions baseline, reduced

total NOx emissions in Maryland by almost 70% in 20 09 and 2010

(approximately 50,000 tons NOx per year), and will eventually reduce NOx

emissions by approximately 75% from 2002 levels. 5



## EPA Requirement:

(ii) Insure compliance with the applicable requirements of §§ 126 6 

## and 115 7



## (interstate and international pollution abatement).

Maryland Requirement:

• Permitting regulations under COMAR 26.11.02.

• PSD regulation under COMAR 26.11.06.14. Maryland co nfirms that new major

sources and major modifications in the state are su bject to PSD under COMAR

26.11.06.14. The most recent revision of this regu lation was July 16, 2009.

Maryland has submitted to EPA a fully-adopted PSD p rogram that applies to all

regulated NSR pollutants including Greenhouse Gases

.

• §2-301(a)(1) Environment Article, Annotated Code of Maryland (authority to

control air pollution).

5 Md. Code Ann., Envir. §§ 2-1001-1002.

6 §126 (a) Each plan shall (1) require each major pr oposed new or modified source (A) subject to Part C or (D) which may

significantly contribute to pollution in excess of the NAAQS in any AQCR outside the State in which su ch source intends to

locate or modify, to provide written notice to all nearby States the pollution levels of which may be affected by such source 60

days prior to the date on which commencement of con struction is to be permitted by the State, and (2) identify all major existing

stationary sources which may have the impact descri bed in (1) with respect to new or modified sources and provide notice to all

nearby States of the identity of such sources. (b) Any State may petition EPA for a finding that any m ajor source or group of

stationary sources emits or would emit any pollutan t in violation of the prohibition of § 110(a)(2)(D) (ii) or this section. (c)

Notwithstanding any permit which may have been gran ted by the State, it shall be a violation of this s ection and the plan - (1) for

any major proposed new or modified source with resp ect to which a finding has been made under subsecti on (b) to be constructed

or to operate in violation of this section and the prohibition of § 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) or this section, or (2) for any major existing

source to operate more than 3 months after such fin ding has been made. EPA may permit the continued o peration of a source

beyond the expiration of the 3-month period if the source complies with the emission limitations and c ompliance schedules as

may be provided by EPA to bring about compliance wi th the requirements of § 110(a)(2)(D)(ii). Nothing shall be construed to

preclude any such source from being eligible for an enforcement order under § 113(d) after the expirat ion of such period during

which EPA has permitted continuous operation.

7 § 115 (a) Whenever EPA, upon receipt of reports, s urveys or studies from any duly constituted interna tional agency has reason

to believe that any pollutants emitted in the US ca use or contribute to pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger

public health or welfare in a foreign country or wh enever the Secretary of State requests it to do so, EPA shall give formal

notification to the Governor of the State in which such emissions originate. (b) The EPA notice shall be deemed to be a finding

under § 110(a)(2)(H)(ii) which requires a plan revi sion with respect to so much of the applicable plan as is inadequate to prevent

or eliminate the endangerment. Any foreign country so affected by such emission of pollutants shall b e invited to appear at any

public hearing associated with any revision of the appropriate portion of the applicable plan. (c) Th is section shall apply only to

a foreign country which EPA determines has given th e US the same rights with respect to the prevention or control of air

pollution occurring in that country. (d) Recommend ations issued following any abatement conference co nducted prior to CAA

1977 shall remain in effect with respect to any pol lutant for which no NAAQS has been established unde r § 109 unless EPA,

after consultation with all agencies, which were pa rty to the conference, rescinds any such recommenda tion.

## 14 • In addition, nothing in Maryland's statutory or reg ulatory authority prohibits or

otherwise interferes with Maryland's ability to exe rcise sections 126 and 115 of

the CAA. Neither this state nor any major source in this state is currently subject

to any pending petition or active finding under Sec tion 126 or 115 of the CAA

with respect to any air pollutant. Unless a state is the subject of a Section 126(b)

or 126(c) petition with respect to ozone, the state has no continuing obligation

under these sections.
