Mr. Shawn M. Garvin (3RA00) Regional Administrator U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III 1650 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19103

-2029
Dear Mr. Garvin: I am pleased to submit the enclosed revision to the State of Delaware State Implementation Plan (SIP) to address the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the 2008 revised Lead (Pb) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). On October 15, 2008, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the primary and secondary lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m) to 0.15 μg/m3. Pursuant to sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), each State is required to submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) to provide for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of a newly promulgated or revised NAAQS. This SIP fulfills this requirement relative to the 2008 lead NAAQS

. This revision is effective October 14, 2011

. The requirements of the CAA Section 110(a)(2)(A) have been met through the normal public hearing process established by the State of Delaware with proper notification (30 days) prior to the convening of the public hearing. Attachments A and B are copies of affidavits as proof of proper notification. It is the position of the State of Delaware that all minimum requirements set forth in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments have been met. We look forward to continuing the cooperative effort between Delaware and EPA in this important work. As always, feel free to contact me or Ali Mirzakhalili, Director, Division of Air Quality, (302) 739

-9402, if you have any questions concerning the enclosed documents. Sincerely,

Collin P. O’Mara Secretary Enclosures

### 1.0 **Preamble, Introduction**  **and Background** 

**On October**  **15, 2008,**  **the Environmental Protection**  **Agency (EPA)**  **revised the**  **primary and**  **secondary lead**  **National Ambient**  **Air Quality**  **Standard (NAAQS)**  **from 1.5**  **micrograms per**  **cubic meter**  **(J-lg/m) to**  **0.15 J-lg/m3.**  **Pursuant to**  **sections 1**  **10(a)(I) and**  **1 10(a)(2)**  **of the**  **Clean Air**  **Act (CAA),**  **each State**  **is required**  **to submit**  **a State**  **Implementation Plan**  **(SIP) to**  **provide for**  **the implementation,**  **maintenance, and**  **enforcement of** **a newly**  **promulgated or**  **revised NMQS.**  **This SIP**  **fulfills this**  **requirement relative**  **to the**  **2008 lead**  **NAAQS.**
**A SIP**  **is a**  **state plan that identifies**  **how that state will**  **attain and**  **maintain air**  **quality that**  **conforms to**  **each primary**  **and secondary**  **NAAQS. The**  **SIP is**  **a complex,**  **fluid document**  **containing regulations,**  **source-specific requirements, and**  **non-regulatory items**  **such as**  **plans and**  **emission inventories.**  **Delaware's initial**  **SIP was**  **approved by**  **the EPA**  **on May**  **31, 1972.**  **Since this**  **initial approval,**  **the Delaware**  **SIP has**  **been revised**  **numerous times**  **to address**  **air quality**  **non attainment**  **and maintenance**  **issues. This**  **was done**  **by updating**  **plans and**  **inventories, and**  **adding new**  **and revised**  **regulatory control**  **requircments. Delaware's**  **SIP is**  **compiled in**  **the Code**  **of Federal**  **Regulations at**  **40 C.F.R.**  **Part 52**  **Subpart I.**  **Section 2.0**  **of this**  **document is**  **a revision**  **to Delaware's**  **SIP. The**  **purpose of**  **this SIP**  **revision is**  **to detail**  **how Delaware**  **mects all**  **of the**  **necessary implementation,**  **maintenance, and**  **enforcement measures**  **required by**  **the CAA,**  **specifically, CAA**  **§1 10(a)(2),**  **relative to**  **the 2008**  **lcad NAAQS.**  **Under the**  **heading "Delaware's**  **Plan" in**  **Section 2.0**  **of this**  **document Delaware**  **provides a**  **revision to**  **its SIP**  **to address**  **those requirements**  **of Section**  **1 1 0(a)(2)(i\)-(M)**  **of the**  **CAA which**  **have not**  **been addressed in other**  **SIP revisions.**  **It is**  **a compilation**  **of certain**  **elements that**  **describe how**  **Delaware demonstrates**  **how the·**  **2008 lead**  **NAAQS is**  **being implemented,**  **maintained and**  **enforced. The**  **clements of**  **this SIP**  **revision, once**  **approved by**  **EPA, will**  **provide a**  **federally enforceable**  **written confirmation**  **that Delaware**  **will continue**  **to comply**  **with the**  **Section 1 1** **0(a)(2) requirements**  **of the**  **CAA. Legislative**  **authority for the**  **Delaware air**  **quality program**  **relating to**  **the responsibilities**  **in the**  **CAA is**  **codified in**  **Title 7**  **"Conservation" of**  **the Delaware**  **Code, Chapter**  **60**

**- Delaware's**  **comprehensive water**  **and air**  **resources conservation**  **law !** **, which**  **gives the**  **Delaware Department**  **of Natural**  **Resources and**  **Environmental Control**  **(DNREC) the**  **power and**  **duty to**  **implement the**  **provisions of** **the CAA**  **ill the**  **State of** **Delawarc. Many**  **of the**  **miscellaneous requirements of**  **Section 1 1** **0(a)(2)(A)-(M) of**  **the CAA**  **relevant to the**  **2008 lead**  **NAAQS are**  **already contained**  **in Delaware's**  **SIP.

### I hereby certify that a public hearing was held September 22, 2011, on a revision to the State of Delaware State ImplementationPlan. The revision amends the State ImplementationPlan (SIP) to address the implementation,maintenance, and enforcement ofthe 2008 revised Lead (Pb) National AmbientAir Quality Standard (NAAQS). On October 15, 2008, the Environmental

.ProtectionAgency (EPA) revised the primary and secondary lead National AmbientAir Quality

Standard (NAAQS) from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter (J.tg/m) to 0

.15 J.tg/m3. Pursuantto sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) ofthe Clean Air Act (CAA), each State is required to submit a State ImplementationPlan (SIP) to provide for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement ofa newly promulgated orrevised NAAQS. This SIP fulfills this requirement relative to the 2008 lead NAAQS. The effective date ofthis amendment is October 14, 2011.

## 1.0 **Preamble, Introduction and**  **Background**
**On Octobcr**  **15, 2008,**  **the Environmental**  **Protection Agency**  **(EPA) revised**  **the primary**  **and secondary**  **lead National**  **Ambient Air**  **Quality Standard**  **(NAAQS) from**  **1.5 micrograms**  **per**

### cubic **mcter (Ilg/m)** **to 0.15**  **llg/m3. Pursuant to**  **sections 110(a)(1)**  **and 1**  **10(a)(2) of** **the Clean**  **Air Act**  **(CAA), each**  **State is**  **required to**  **submit a**  **State Implementation**  **Plan (SIP)**  **to provide**  **for the**  **implementation, maintenance,**  **and enforcement**  **of a**  **newly promulgated**  **or revised**  **NAAQS. This**  **SIP fulfills**  **this requirement**  **relative to**  **the 2008 lead**  **NAAQS.**
**A SIP**  **is a**  **state plan**  **that identifies**  **how that**  **state will**  **attain and**  **maintain air**  **quality that**  **conforms to**  **each primary**  **and secondary**  **NAAQS. The**  **SIP is**  **a complex,**  **fluid document**  **containing regulations,**  **source-speci fic**  **requirements, and**  **non-regulatory items**  **such as**  **plans and**  **emission inventories.**  **Delaware's initial**  **SIP was**  **approved by**  **the EPA**  **on May**  **31, 1972.**  **Since this**  **initial approval,**  **the Delaware**  **SIP has**  **been revised**  **numerous times**  **to address**  **air quality**  **non attainment**  **and maintenance issues.**  **This was**

**Re: APPROVAL OF**  **REVISED DELAWARE**  **STATE IMPLEMENTATION** 

**PLAN FOR**  **INFRASTRUCTURE ELEMENTS**  **FOR REVISION**  **TO NATIONAL**  **AMBIENT AIR**  **QUALITY STANDARDS**  **FOR LEAD** 
**Date of**  **Issuance: October**  **14,2011 Effective**  **Date: October**  **14, 2011**  **Under the**  **authority vested in**  **the Secretary**  **of the**  **Department of**  **Natural**
**Resources and**  **Environmental Control**  **(Department), this**  **Order approves**  **the proposed**  **revision to**  **the State**  **Implementation Plan(SIP),**  **which is**  **a statewide**  **air management**  **plan subject**  **to the**  **public notice**  **and public**  **hearing procedures**  **in 7**  **Del. C**  **§6010** 

### (**c). Background**  **The United**  **States Environmental**  **Protection Agency**  **(EPA) has**  **delegated to**  **the Department**  **certain authority**  **and duties**  **under the**  **federal Clean**  **Air Act,**  **as amended,**  **42 US.C§§7401**  **et seq.**  **(CAA). The**  **delegation includes**  **the administration**  **over Delaware's**  **SIP, which**  **EPA requires**  **in order**  **to review**  **the regulations,**  **source specific**  **requirements, plans**  **and emission**  **inventories on**  **how Delaware**  **will attain**  **and maintain**  **air quality**  **that conforms**  **to EPA's**  **primary and**  **secondary National**  **Ambient Air**  **Quality Standards**  **(NAAQS). NAAQS**  **are EPA**  **regulations that**  **set limits**  **for air**  **pollutants in**  **order to**  **protect the**  **public health**  **and the**  **environment. Delaware'**  **SIP is**  **included in** 
**EPA's regulations**  **at 40**  **CF.R. Part 52,**  **Subpart J** **In 2008,**  **EPA revised**  **its NAAQS**  **for lead**  **to lower**  **the primary**  **and secondary**  **limits from**  **1.5 micrograms**  **per cubic**  **meter (J.Lg/m)**  **to 0.15**  **J.Lg/m3. The**  **states are**  **provided three**  **years to**  **revise their**  **SIPs in**  **response to**  **EPA's revised**  **limits. The**  **Division of** **Air Quality**  **conducted a**  **review of** **the Department's**  **regulations to**  **determine if**  **any regulatory**  **changes were**  **needed in**  **response to**  **the EPA**  **lead NAAQS**  **change. The**  **proposed revised**  **SIP, as**  **published in**  **the September**  **1, 2011**  **Delaware Registration**  **of Regulations,**  **sets forth**  **the Division**  **of Air**  **Quality's review of**  **Delaware's Regulations**  **Governing the**  **Control of**  **Air Pollution.**  **The proposed**  **revised SIP**  **cites to**  **the appropriate**  **regulations in**  **which the**  **Department already**  **regulates lead**  **consistent with**  **EPA's revised**  **NAAQS for**  **lead. Consequently,**  **the Division**  **of Air**  **Quality reports**  **in the**  **revised SIP**  **that no**  **new regulation**  **or amendment**  **to an**  **existing regulation**  **is needed**  **to comply**  **with**
**EPA's NAAQS**  **revision for**  **lead.**

**The Department**  **held a**  **duly noticed**  **public hearing**  **on the**  **SIP revision**  **on September**  **22, 2011**  **at the**  **Department's Dover**  **offices. At**  **the public**  **hearing, the**  **Department's expert,**  **Ronald A.**  **Amirikian, developed**  **the record**  **to support**  **adoption of**  **the proposed**  **SIP revision.**  **The Department**  **did not**  **receive any**  **public comments during**  **the public**  **comment period.**  **The Department's**  **presiding hearing**  **officer, Robert**  **P. Haynes,**  **who recommended**  **approval of**  **the SIP revision**  **in a**  **Report attached hereto**  **at Appendix**  **A. Reasons**  **and Findings** 

**I adopt**  **the Report**  **and find**  **that approval**  **of the**  **proposed SIP**  **revision in**  **final is**  **supported by**  **the record**  **and consistent**  **with the**  **Department's delegated**  **duties under**  **the federal**  **Clean Air**  **Act. In**  **conclusion, the following**  **findings and**  **conclusions are**  **entered:**

**2 1.**  **The Department**  **finds the proposed**  **SIP revision**  **is well**  **supported by**  **the record**  **and hereby**  **approves the**  **revision as**  **a final SIP**  **revision as**  **it was**  **published in the**  **September 1,**  **2011 Delaware**  **Register of** **Regulations;**

**2. The**  **final approved**  **SIP revision**  **and this**  **Order shall**  **be submitted**  **to EPA** 
**for EPA's**  **review in**  **order that**  **the SIP**  **may be**  **approved by**  **EPA; and** 

**2. The**  **Department shall**  **publish notice**  **of this**  **Order in**  **the same**  **manner as**  **the notice**  **of the**  **proposed SIP**  **revision.**
