Subject: Florida DEP ‐ Proposed Contingency Measures for SIP 2012‐04 ‐ Lead (Pb) NAA Plan

Dear Mr. Swanberg,

As we have discussed, this message is being sent as a follow up to discussions between representatives of Envirofocus

Technologies, LLC (Envirofocus), FDEP Division of Air Resource Management, and the Hillsborough County

Environmental Protection Commission on December 18, 2014, with regard to the proposed contingency measures for

Florida’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) Submittal Number 2012‐04 (Lead [Pb)] Nonattainment Area Plan).  

For your convenience, please find attached to this e‐mail a letter from Paula Cobb, as Director of the FDEP Division of Air

Resource Management, to Ms. Heather McTeer Toney, Administrator for Region 4 of the United States Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), which was transmitted to EPA on December 23, 2014. This letter details additional procedures

and controls at the EnviroFocus facility in Hillsborough County that would be implemented immediately upon the

occurrence of various triggering events related to future monitored exceedances or violations of the Pb National

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).  

The Department is requesting written confirmation that Envirofocus has received, reviewed, and accepts the terms and

conditions of the contingency measures detailed in this letter, and understands that these measures will be integrated

into Florida’s Lead (Pb) Nonattainment Area Plan and constitute a revision to Florida’s SIP. In the event that Envirofocus

fails to meet any requirement of the plan, including these contingency measures, Envirofocus may be subject to

enforcement action pursuant to the Department’s authority under Chapters 120 and 403, Florida Statutes.

The Department would greatly appreciate written confirmation of Envirofocus’s receipt, review, and acceptance of these

contingency measures through an affirmative reply to this communication. Please feel free to contact me at any time by

e‐mail (Preston.McLane@dep.state.fl.us) or phone (850‐717‐9089) if you have any questions about this request, or any

aspect of Florida’s proposed Lead (Pb) Nonattainment Area Plan.

Sincerest thanks,

‐ Preston
