U.S. WA, REGCON 9 

of Arizona Regional Haze State Implementation Plan 

Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) hereby submits to the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Arizona Regional Haze State Implementation Plan 

and Arizona Regional Haze State Implementation Plan Revision as originally submitted on 

December 23,2003, and December 3 1,2004, respectively. 

Plan submittal is consistent with the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) Title 49, 

5549- 104, 49-1 06, 49-404,49-406, 49-414, and 49-4 14.0 1 and the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) Title 40, 5 55 1.102-5 1.104. The plan also complies with the public process requirements 

in Section 1 1 O(a)(l) and (a)(2) of the Clean Air Act; 40 CFR 55 1.102 regarding preparation, 

notice, and submission of state implementation plans; and Arizona Revised Statutes 49-425 

regarding notice and pubic review of rules. 

The 2003 plan contains all the provisions required by the Federal Regional Haze Rule, 40 CFR 

55 1-309 (64 FR 357 14, July 1, 1999) for Arizona's four mandatory Federal Class 1 areas on the 

Colorado Plateau (see Attachment 1). The 2004 plan revision contains a statutory correction and 

rule packages related to emissions trading and smoke management, including three Arizona 

county rules with independent authority to regulate open burning. 

This plan submittal does not include provisions under §309(d)(4) or §309(g). Due to the new 

requirements for stationary source control strategies based on the decision rendered in Center for 

Energy and Economic Development (CEED) v. EPA, 398 F.3d 653 (DC Cir. 2005), Arizona has 

not been able to complete revisions to §309(d)(4) or complete §309(g) by the deadline of 

December 17,2007.

Summary of Approach, Content, or Findings 

This SIP addresses reasonable progress at the Class I areas 

on the Colorado Plateau from December 3 1,2003 through 

December 3 1,201 8. 

Projected emissions and estimated visibility changes for 

each of the Class I areas on the Colorado Plateau were 

performed by the Western Regional Air Partnership 

(WRAP). 

The only Clean Air Corridor for the Class I areas on the 

Colorado Plateau does not include any area within Arizona. 

Arizona will include the results of future analyses in its 

periodic plan revisions. 

General stationary source requirements are contained in 

Chapter 7. Chapter 8 contains a description of the SO;! 

Milestone and Backstop Trading Program. Currently Under 

Revision. 

Federal programs (such as low sulfur diesel, engine 

standards, etc.) are identified and describe mobile source 

emissions throughout the planning period. 

Arizona revised its open burning and smoke management 

regulations (A.A.C. R18-2-602 and A.A.C R18-2-1501 - 

15 15) to address the federal requirements. 

WRAP'S analysis concluded dust emissions from paved and 

unpaged roads are currently not a significant regional 

contributor to visibility impairment within the Colorado 

Plateau 16 Class I areas. Arizona will continue to support 

further research on this issue, as it develops its periodic plan 

revisions under 40 CFR 5 1.309(d)(10). 

Programs and policies within Arizona related to renewable 

energy and energy efficiency are described. 

The status of implementation of other strategies and options 

in the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission 

Report are summarized. In addition, an overview of sources 

in and near each Arizona GCVTC Class I area is included. 

Arizona will submit periodic plan revisions to this SIP in 

2008,2013 and 2018. 

Arizona has and will continue to participate in the WRAP. 

As periodic plan revisions are done, consultation will also 

be made with states and tribes not implementing 40 CFR 

5 1.309. 

A supplement to this plan revision to address regional haze 

at the Additional 8 Class I areas in Arizona will be 

developed in accordance with 40 CFR 5 1.309(g)(2-3) and 

submitted by December 3 1,2008. Revised submittal by 

December 17, 2007. Currently under development.
