AUTH:· 75-2-111,75-2-203, MCA IMP: 75-2-202, 75-2-203,75-2-204, MCA REASON: The board is proposing amendments to Montana's prevention of signifiC8ntdeterioration (PSD) rules to conform the rules to amendments to federal regulations by the federal Environmental Protection**Ag~ncy** 

### (EPA) in 2005. The federal Clean AirAct, 42 USC 7401 through 7671q (CAA), directs each state to assure that air quality in that state meets minimum standards applicable across the nation. The CAA directs the EPAto establish National Ambient AirQuality Standards (NAAQS) for air pollutants that meet certain criteria regarding effects on public heaHh and welfare. Pursuant to the CAA, EPA has authorized the state of Montana to regulate majorsources in the state. i=or Montana to retain this authority, the board is required to adoptthe minimum standards applicable to majorsource
·emissions ofa NAAQS pollutantwhenever a NAAQS is estabftshed or revised 40

USC 7410(C). On November 29, 2005, EPA published regulations regarding the implementation ofthe 1997 ozone NAAQS (70 CFR 71612). Those regulations required revisions to state programs for majorsource permitting. One ofthe requirements in the EPA regulations was to address ozone formation by regulating precursor pollutants. "Precursorpollutants" are pollutants that combine to form another pollutant. The federal regulations include nitrogen oxide·s (NOx) that react with volatile organic compounds to fonn ozone. In adecision published on May 19, 2011, in the Federal Registerat 76 FR 28934, EPAfound Montana's PSD rules for ozone inadequate because the rules do not address NOx as a precursor pollutantfor ozone. The proposed amendments in this notice would address EPA's concerns and make Montana's rules for PSD permits adequate to implementing the 1997 8- hourozone NAAQS. Generally, the.proposed amendments to the rules would add NOx as a precursor pollutantthat contributes to the formation ofozone. The department and · applicants for permits to construct or modify majorsources would be required to analyze the applicability of PSD requirements based on NOx as a precursorto ozone. The following are briefdescriptions ofthe proposed amendments:

· ARM 17.8.801(20)(a) would be amended by modifying the**de~nition** 

### of "major modification," adding NOx as aprecursor pollutantfor ozone when NOx emissions exceed a significance threshold. ARM 17.8.801(22)(b) would be amended to add NOxas a precursorto ozone, MAR Notice No. 17-334 11-6/7112

### -1101- triggering consideration ofasource as "major'' for ozone when the source emits or hasthe potential to emit 1 00 tons peryear of NOx. · ARM 17.8.801(25) would be amended by adding a definition ofthe term nitrogen oxides or NOx, defining it as the sum ofnitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in theflue gas or emission point. ARM 17.8.801(27)(a) would be 

### amended to add asignificance level of40 tonsor more peryear of NOx because NOx is a precursor pollutant that, in combination with VOCs, creates ozone. Ozone is not asource emission, but an increase in NOxemissions, which is asource emission, is agood surrogate forthe formation ofozone. A·significant increase in ozone will be assumed based on a 40 tpy or more net increase in the potential to emit of NOx. ARM 17.8.818(7)(a)(vi) would be amended to add that a net increase of 100 tonsor more peryear of NOx, as a precursorto ozone formation; triggers an ambient impactanalysis. The board is also proposing the following amendment concerning particulate matlersmallerthan 2.5 microns, referred to as PM-2.5: ARM 17.8.801(27)(a), wouldbe amended by substituting "nitrogen OXides" for "nitrogen dioxide (N02)" 

### as a precursorto PM-2.5 formation. In that subsection, a netemissions increase or potential to emit of40 tons peryear of NOxwould cause a source to be considered majorfor PM-2.5 forthe purpose oftriggering PSD review. The use of"nitrogen dioxide (N02)" was a mistake when the rule was adopted in September2011. The board intended to use "nitrogen oxides," which include the sumof nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission point because theyare precursors to the formation of PM-2.5, and the board is proposing to correct thatmistake. The board is also proposing to amend portions of rules listedabove for**consist~ncy** 

### of language when referring to sulfur dioxide (S02) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The proposed amendments would match the comparable language provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These proposed amendments are not intended to change the substance ofthese rules. 4. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments, either orallyor in writing, at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to Elois Johnson, Paralegal, Department of Environmental Quality, 1520 E. Sixth Avenue, P.O.

AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-203, MCA IMP: 75-2-202, 75-2-203, 75-2-204, MCA REASON: The board is proposing amendments to Montana's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) rules to conform the rules to amendments tl) federal regulations by the federal Environmental Protection**Ag~ncy** 

### (EPA) in 2005. The federal Clean AirAct, 42 USC 7401 through 7671q (CAA), directs each state to assure that air quality in that state meets minimum standards applicable across the nation. The CAA directs the EPAto establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for air pollutants that meet certain criteria regarding effects on public health and welfare. Pursuant to the CAA, EPA has authorized the state of Montana to regulate majorsources in the state. For Montana to retain this authority, the board is required to adopt the minimum standards applicable to majorsource
·emissions ofa NAAQS pollutantwhenever a NAAQS is established or revised 40

USC 7410(C). On November29, 2005, EPA published regulations regarding the implementation ofthe 1997 ozone NAAQS (70 CFR 71612). Those regulations required revisions to state programs for major source permitting. One ofthe requirements in the EPA regulations was to address ozone formation by regulating precursor pollutants. "Precursor pollutants" are pollutants that combine to form another pollutant. The federal regulations include nitrogen oxides (NOx) that react withvolatile organic compounds to form ozone. In adecision published on May·19, 2011, in the Federal Register at 76 FR 28934, EPAfound Montana's PSD rules for

. ozone inadequate because the rules do not address NOx as a precursor pollutant for

ozone. The proposed amendments in this notice would address EPA's concerns and make Montana's rules for PSD permits adequate to implementing the 1997

# ahourozone NAAQS. Generally, the proposed amendments to the rules would add NOx as a precursor pollutantthat contributes to the formation ofozone. The department and applicants for permits to construct or modify major sources would be required to analyze the applicability of PSD requirements based on NOx as a precursor to ozone. The following are brief descriptions ofthe proposed amendments: ARM 17.8.801(20)(a) would be amended by modifying the**de~nition**

### of "major modification," adding NOx as a precursor pollutant for ozone when NOx emissions exceed a significance threshold. ARM 17.8.801(22)(b) would be amended to add NOxas a precursorto ozone, MAR Notice No. 17-334 11-6/7/12

### -1101- triggering consideration ofa source as "major'' for ozone when the source ernits or has the potential to emit 1 00 tons peryear ofNOx. ARM 17.8.801(25) would be amended by adding adefinition ofthe terrn ) nitrogen oxides or NOx, defining it as the sum 

### of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in theflue gas oremission point. ARM 17.8.801(27)(a) would be amended to add asignificance level of 40 tons or more peryear of NOx because NOx is a precursor pollutantthat, in combination with VOCs, creates ozone. Ozone is not a source emission, but an increase in NOxemissions, which is asource emission, is agood surrogate forthe formation of ozone. A"signiflcant increase in ozone will be 

### assumed based on a 40 tpy or more netincrease in the potential to emit of NOx. ARM 17.8.818(7)(a)(vi) would be amended to add that a net increase of 100 tons or more peryear of NOx. as a precursorto ozone formation; triggers an ambient impactanalysis. The board is also proposing the following amendment concerning particulate mattersmallerthan 2.5 microns, referred to as PM-2.5: ARM 17.8.801(27)(a), would be amended by substituting "nitrogen oxides" for "nitrogen dioxide {N02)" as a precursorto PM-2.5 formation. In that subsection, a net emissions increase or potential to emit of40 tons peryear ofNOxwould cause a source to be considered majorfor PM-2.5 forthe purpose oftriggering PSD review. The use of "nitrogen dioxide (N02 )" was a mistake when the rule was adopted in September2011. The board intended to use "nitrogen oxides," which include the sum of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission point because ) they are precursors to the formation of PM-2.5, and the board is proposing to correct

_ that mistake. The board is also proposing to amend portions of rules listedabove for**consist~ncy** 

### oflanguage when referring to sulfurdioxide (S02) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The proposed amendments would match the comparable language provided in the Code of Federal Regulations {CFR). These proposed amendments are not intendedto change the substance ofthese rules.

AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-203, MCA IMP: 75-2-202, 75-2-203, 75-2-204, MCA REASON: The board is proposing amendments to Montana's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) rules to conform the rules to amendments to federal regulations by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2005. The federal Clean Air Act, 42 USC 7401 through 7671q (CAA), directs each state to assure that air quality in that state meets minimum standards applicable across the nation. The CAA directs the EPAto establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards {NAAQS) for air pollutants that meet certain criteria regarding effects on public health and welfare. Pursuant to the CAA, EPA has authorized the state of Montana to regulate major sources in the state. For Montana to retain this authority, the board is required to adopt the minimum standards applicable to major source emissions of a NAAQS pollutant whenever a NAAQS is established or revised 40 USC 7410(C). On November 29, 2005, EPA published regulations regarding the implementation ofthe 1997 ozone NAAQS (70 CFR 71612). Those regulations required revisions to state programs for major source permitting. One ofthe requirements in the EPA regulations was to address ozone formation by regulating precursor.pollutants. "Precursor pollutants" are pollutants that combine to form another pollutant. Thefederal regulations include nitrogen oxides (NOx) that react with volatile organic compounds to form ozone. In a decision published on May 19, 2011, in the Federal Register at 76 FR28934, EPAfound Montana's PSD rules for ozone inadequate because the rules do not address NOx as a precursor pollutant for ozone. The proposed amendments in this notice would address EPA's concerns and make Montana's rules for PSD permits adequate to implementing the 1997 8- hourozone NAAQS. Generally, the proposed amendments to the rules would add NOx as a precursor pollutant that contributes to the formation of ozone. The department and applicants for permits to construct or modify major sourceswould be required to analyze the applicability of PSD requirements based on NOx as a precursor to ozone. The following are brief descriptions ofthe proposed amendments: ARM 17.8.801(20)(a)would be amended by modifying the definition of"major modification," adding NOx as a precursor pollutant for ozone when NOx emissions exceed a significance threshold. ARM 17.8.801(22)(b)would be amended to add NOx as a precursorto ozone, MAR Notice No. 17-334 11-6/7/12

### -1101- triggering consideration ofa source as "major" for ozone when the source emits or has the potential to emit 100tons per year of NOx. ARM 17.8.801(25) would be amended by adding adefinition ofthe term ) nitrogen oxides or NOx, defining it as the sum of nitric.oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission point. ARM 17.8.801(27)(a)would be amended to add asignificance level of40 tons or more peryear of NOx because NOx is a precursor pollutant that, in combination with VOCs, creates ozone. Ozone is not asource emission, but an increase in NOx emissions, which is asource emission, is a good surrogate forthe formation of ozone. A significant increase in ozone will be assumed based on a 40 tpy oi' more net increase in the potential to emit of NOx.

. ARM 17.8.818(7)(a)(vi) would be amended to add that a net increase of 100 tons or more per year of NOx. as a precursorto ozone formation, triggers an ambient impact analysis. The board is also proposing the following amendment concerning particulate mattersmallerthan 2.5 microns, referred to as PM-2.5: ARM 17.8.801(27)(a), would be amended by substituting "nitrogen oxides" for "nitrogen dioxide (N02)" 

### as a precursorto PM-2.5 formation. In that subsection, a net emissions increase or potential to emit of40 tons peryear of NOxwould cause a source to be considered majorfor PM-2.5 forthe purpose oftriggering PSD review. The use of

..nitrogen dioxide (N02)

.. 

### was a mistake when the rule was adopted in September2011. The board intended to use "nitrogen oxides," which include the sum of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission point because ) they are precursors tothe formation of PM-2.5, and the board is proposing to correct that mistake. The board is also proposing to amend portions of rules listed above for consistency of language when referring to sulfur dioxide (S02) .and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The proposed amendments would match the comparable language provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These proposed amendments are not intended to change the substance ofthese rules. 4.

) BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Ozone Implementation Rules- HearingTestimony Deb Wolfe -July 12, 2012
Thank you, Madam Hearings Officer; forthe record my name is Debra Wolfe and I am the Regulatory Analyst in the Air Resources Management Bureau. I am here to representthe Department regardingthe Board's proposed amendment ofair quality rules. The Board is proposingtoamend air quality rule provisions in Title 17, Chapter 8, subchapter 8, ARM to update requirements for ozone for sources subjectto majorsource permitting rules.
In July 2011, EPA found Montana's PSD rules inadequate because the rules do not address nitrogen oxides (NOx) as a precursor pollutantfor ozone. This rulemaking is Montana's response to EPA's ozone implementation rule establishing certain requirements for major ·sources. Ozone is acriteria pollutantfor which the EPA has established an ambient standard pursuant to the Clean AirAct. In 1997, EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standard or "NAAQS" for ozone. Ozone is notdirectly emitted from sources but rather is formed in the ambient air as the result ofa reaction involvingvolatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of strong sunlight. VOCs and NOx are emissions from sources, therefore, VOC and NOx are considered ozone "precursor" pollutants. Ozone is not currently a problem pollutant in Montana and Montana is currently classified as attainment/unclassifiable with respect tothe 1997 ozone NAAQS.
Montana's rules require a majorsource to demonstratethat emissions from the proposed construction and operation will notcause or contributeto air pollution in excess ofany maximum allowable increase or maximum allowable**~oncentration** for any NAAQS pollutant. These proposed amendments would require those demonstrationsforozone precursors VOCs and NOx.
These rules apply tothe largest sources and the requirements vary depending on the location ofthe source submittingthe application for construction or modification. Followingthe Ozone NAAQS revision in 1997, EPA established a significant emissions rate for Ozone precursors (VOCs and NOx) from major sources. Significant Emissions Rates are used to determine whether an emissions increase from a proposed source or modification may be excluded from permitting review because the proposed source or modification is considered to be minor. Additionallythe Department encourages the Board to amend certain rules concerning PM-2.5. In one instance the Montana PM-2.5 rules incorrectly reference Nitrogen Dioxide, when they should referto Nitrogen Oxides. The notice contains nonsubstantive clerical corrections in citations referenced in the statement of reasonable necessity as follows: The referenceto 40 USC 7410(C) should be to 42 USC 7410(a)(2)(C); the reference to 70 CFR 71612 should be to 70 FR 71612; the reference to the date ofa Federal Register notice in which EPA determined Montana's SIP inadequate, ratherthan May 19, 2011, should be July 22, 2011, and the Federal Register citation should be 76 FR 43918, not page 28934. The Department requests the Boardto make these clerical corrections tothe statement of reasonable necessity in the adoption notice
The Department supportsthe Board's proposed amendments tothe rules and requests 

### the Board to adoptthe amendments as proposed in the notice published in Montana's administrative register on June 

### 7, 2012, withthe revisions noted in thistestimony.

Sections 75-2-111 and 207, MCA, codify the air quality provisions ofHouse Bill521from the 1995 legislative session. They require thatthe Board ofEnvironmental Review (Board), prior to adopting arule to implementthe Clean AirAct ofMontanathatis more stringentthan a comparable federal regulation or guideline, make certain written findings after apublic hearing andpublic comment. Inthis proceeding, in

### additionto proposing minor editorial revisionsthat are not intended to have any substarltive effect, the Board is proposingto amend three subsections ofARM Title 17, chapter 8, subchapter 8that concern the regulation ofnitrogen oxides as aprecursorto the formation ofozone. Those subsections are ARM 17.8.801(20)(a), which, for the purposes of determining whether a "majormodification" exists, would define anet emissions increase that is significant for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) ornitrogen oxides (NOx) as also significant for ozone; ARM 17.8.801(22)(b), which would state that amajor source that is major for VOCs orNOx will be considered majorfor ozone; andARM 17.8.818(7)(a)(vi), which would statethat, forthe purpose ofexempting a major stationary sourceormodification from monitoring requirements, there is no exclusion as de minimis for ozone, and that an ambient impact analysis is required for anet increase of 100 ormore tons per year ofVOCs ornitrogen oxides. These amendments are being proposed to satisfy Montana's obligations underthe federal Clean AirActto·submit, to the federal Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA), revisions to Montana's state implementationplan (SIP) that contain minimum standards applicableto major source emissions ofaNational Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS}pollutantwhenever aNAAQS is established orrevised. 42 USC 741O(a)(2)(C).

### and 51.166(i)(5)(i)(f), fn. 1. Inadecision published on July 22, 2011, inthe Federal Register at76 FR43918, 43922, EPA disapproved thePSD rules for ozone inMontana's SIP because they do not addressNOx as a precursorpollutant for ozone.

Each oftheproposed amendments, to ARM 

### 17.8.801(20)(a), ARM 17.8.801(22)(b), and ARM 17.8.818(7)(a)(vi), uses the samelanguage and imposes the same requirements as the comparable federal regulation, 40 CFR 51.166(b)(2)(ii), 51.166(b)(1)(ii), and 51.166(i)(5)(i)(f), fn. 1, respectively. Therefore, the proposed amendments are not more stringentthan the comparable federal regulations, and the requirements of§75-2-207, MCA, do not apply.



### HB 311 REVIEW (Assessing Impacton Private Property) Sections 2-10-101 through 105, MCA, codify House Bill311,the Private Property Assessment Act, from the 1995 legislative session. They require that, priorto taking an action thathas taking ordamaging implications for private real property, a state agency mustprepare ataking or damaging impact assessment. Section 2-10-104, MCA, requires the Montana Attorney General to develop guidelines, including

.a checklist, to assist agencies in determiningwhether an agency actionhas taking or damaging implications. The present proposed action involves rules affecting use ofprivate real property, and the Board has discretion legally not to takethe action. I have attached atakings checklist indicating that no taking would occur because ofthe amended rule being proposed here.

INTRODUCTION 1. On July 12, 2012, at 11 a.m., the undersigned Presiding Officer 10 presided over and conducted the publichearingheld in Room 35 ofthe Metcalf 11 Building, 1520 East Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana, to take public comment on the 12 

### above-captioned proposed amendments. The amendments amend air quality rules to 13 update requirements for precursors to ozone, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 

### ) 14 and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Therulemaking is Montana's responseto EPA's ozone 15 implementation rule establishing certain requirements for major sources. Montana's 16 rulesrequire a major source to demonstrate that emissions from the proposed



# ) 17 construction and operation ofthe major sourcewill not cause or contribute to air 18 pollution in excess ofany maximum allowable increase ormaximum allowable 19 concentration for any NAAQS (National AmbientAir Quality Standard) pollutant. 20 The proposed amendments would require those demonstrations for ozoneprecursors 21 VOCs andNOx. Additionally the amendments amend certainrules concerning

## PM 22 2.5 such that the rules reference nitrogen oxides instead ofnitrogen dioxide. 23

### of Environmental Quality and I'm here today to represent the Department regarding the Board's proposed amendment of air quality rules. The Board is proposing to amend air quality rule provisions in Title 17, Chapter 8, Subchapter 8, Administrative Rules of Montana, to update requirements for ozone for major sources subject to major source permitting rules. In July 2011 EPA found Montana's PSD rules inadequate because the rules do not address nitrogen oxides as a precursor pollutant for

ozone. This rulemaking is Montana's response to EPA's ozone implementation rule establishing certain requirements for major sources. Ozone is a criteria pollutant for which EPA has established an ambient standard pursuant to the Clean Air Act. In 

### 1997 EPA revised the Natural Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone. Ozone is not directly emitted from sources but rather is formed in the ambient air as a

## voc and nitrogen oxides are considered' ozone precursor pollutants. Ozone is not currently a problem pollutant in Montana and Montana is currently classified as ·attainment/unclassifiable with respect to the 1997 ozone NAAQS. Montana's rules require a major source to demonstrate that emissions from the proposed construction and operation will not cause or contribute to air pollution in excess of any maximum allowable increase or maximum allowable concentration for any NAAQS pollutant. These proposed amendments would require those demonstrations for ozone precursors VOCs and nitrogen oxides

.. These rules apply to the largest sources and the requirements vary depending on the location of the source submitting the application for construction or modification. Following the Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards revision in 1997, EPA established a significant emissions rate for

rates are used to determine whether an emissions increase from a proposed source or modification may be excluded from permitting review because the proposed source or modification is considered to be minor. Additionally, the Department encourages the Board to amend certain rules concerning PM-2.5. In one instance the Montana PM-2.5 rules incorrectly reference nitrogen dioxide when they should refer to nitrogen oxides. In addition, the notice contains nonsubstantive clerical corrections in citations referenced in the statement of reasonable necessity as follows: The reference to 40 USC 7410(C) should be to 42.

TO: All Concerned Persons 1. On June 7, 2012, the Board of Environmental Review published 

### MAR Notice No. 17-334 regarding a notice of public hearing on proposed amendment of the above-stated rules at page 1098, 2012 Montana Administrative Register, issue number 11. 2. The board has amended the rules exactly as proposed. 3. The department submitted testimony at the rule hearing on July 12, 2012. In preparing its testimony forthe rule hearing, DEQ noticed clerical errors in the statement of reasonable necessity concerning citations to federal laws and regulations. The department submitted testimony at the hearing to correct these clerical errors. The clerical corrections are as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined: REASON: The board is proposing amendments to Montana's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) rules to conform the rules to amendments to federal regulations by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2005. The federal Clean AirAct, 42 USC 7401 through 7671q (CAA), directs each state to assure that air quality in that state meets minimum standards·applicable across the nation. The CAA directs the EPA to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for air pollutants that meet certain criteria regarding effects on public health and welfare. Pursuant to the CAA, EPA has authorized the state of Montana to regulate major sources in the state. For Montana to retain this authority, the board is required to adopt the minimum standards applicable to major source emissions of a NAAQS pollutant whenever a NAAQS is established or revised 40 USC 7410(C) 7410Ca)(2)(C). On November 29, 2005, EPA published regulations regarding the implementation ofthe 1997 ozone NAAQS (70 GFR 71612). Those regulations required revisions to state programs for major source permitting. One ofthe requirements in the EPA regulations was to address ozone formation by regulating precursor pollutants. "Precursor pollutants" are pollutants that combine to form another pollutant. The federal regulations include nitrogen oxides (NOx) that react with volatile organic compounds to form ozone. In a decision published on May 19 July 22, 2011, in the Federal Register at 76 FR 28934 43918, EPAfound Montana's PSD rules for ozone inadequate because the rules do not address NOx as a precursor pollutant for ozone. The proposed amendments in this notice would Montana Administrative Register 19-10/11/12

AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-203, MCA IMP: 75-2-202, 75-2-203, 75-2-204, MCA REASON: The board is proposing amendments to Montana's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) rules to conform the rules to amendments to federal regulations by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2005. The federal Clean AirAct, 42 USC 7401 through 7671q (CAA), directs each state to assure that air quality in that state meets minimum standards applicable acrossthe nation. The CAA directs the EPAto establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for air pollutants that meet certain criteria regarding effects on public health and welfare.

One ofthe requirements in the EPA regulations was to address ozone formation by regulating precursor pollutants. "Precursor pollutants" are pollutants that combine to form another pollutant. The federal regulations include nitrogen oxides (NOx) that react with volatile organic compounds to form ozone. In a decision published on May 19, 2011, in the Federal Register at 76 FR 28934, EPA found Montana's PSD rules for. ozone inadequate because the rules do not address NOx as a precursor pollutantfor ozone. The proposed amendments in this notice would address EPA's concerns and make Montana's rules for PSD permits adequate to implementing the 1997 8- hourozone NAAQS. Generally, the proposed amendments to the rules would add NOx as a precursor pollutant that contributes to the formation of ozone. The department and applicants for permits to construct or modify major sources would be required to analyze the applicability of PSD requirements based on NOx as a precursor to ozone. The following are brief descriptions ofthe proposed amendments: ARM 17.8.801(20)(a)would be amended by modifying the definition of "major modification," adding NOx as a precursor pollutant for ozone when NOx emissions exceed a significance threshold. ARM 17.8.801(22)(b)would be amended to add NOx as a precursor to ozone, MAR Notice No. 17-334 11-6/7112

triggering consideration of a source as "major" for ozone when the source emits or has the potential to emit 100 tons per year of NOx. ARM 17.8.801(25) would be amended by adding a definition ofthe term nitrogen oxides or NOx, defining it as the sum ofnitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission point. ARM 17.8.801(27)(a) would be amended to add a significance level of40 tons or more per year of NOx because NOx is a precursor pollutantthat, in combination with VOCs, creates ozone. Ozone is not a source emission; butan increase in NOx emissions, which is a source emission, is a good surrogate for the formation of ozone. A significant increase in ozone will be assumed based on a 40 tpy ormore net increase in the potential to emitof NOx. ARM 17.8.818(7)(a)(vi)would be amended to add that a net increase of 100 tons or more peryear of NOx, as a precursor to ozone formation, triggers an ambient impact analysis. · · The board is also proposing the following amendment concerning particulate mattersmaller than 2.5 microns, referred to as PM-2.5: ARM 17.8.801(27)(a), would be amended by substituting "nitrogen oxides" for "nitrogen dioxide (N02r' as a precursor to PM-2.5 formation. In that subsection, a net emissions increase or potential to emit of40 tons per year of NOx would cause a source to be considered majorfor PM-2.5 for the purpose oftriggering PSD review. The use of "nitrogen dioxide (N02)" was a mistake when the rule was adopted in September 2011. The board intended to use "nitrogen oxides," which include the sum of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas or emission point because they are precursors to the formation of PM-2.5, and the board is proposing to correct that mistake. The board is also proposing to amend portions of rules listed above for consistency of language when referring to sulfur dioxide (S02 ) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). The proposed amendments would match the comparable language provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These proposed amendments are not intended to change the substance ofthese rules. 4. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments, either orally or in writing, at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to Elois Johnson, Paralegal, Department of Environmental Quality, 1520 E. Sixth Avenue, P.O.
