Mr. ShawnM. Garvin Regional Administrator U.S. EPA, Region 111(3RA00) 1

650 Arch Street Philadelphia,PA 19103-2029
Re: Certification ofClean Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(G)StateImplementation Plan Element Under the'1997 and 2006PM,, National Ambient Air Quality Standards
Dear Administrator Garvin: TheDepartmentofEnvironmental Protection (DEP) herein certifieshow the West Virginia StateImplementationPlan (SIP) satisfiesa specific ''infrastructure" elementfor state SIPS required under section 110(a)(2)(G)of the Clean AirAct (CAA) forthe 1997and the 2006 PM2,3 National Ambient Air Quality Standards(NAAQS). This certification followsMr. William

# T. Harnett's September 2009 memorandum entitled GuidanceonSIP ElementsRequired under Sections 11

# 0 (a)(l)and 

# (2) for the 200624-Hour Fineparticle (PM,,) NationalAmbient Air QualityStandards, 

# and the levels discussedinthe February 12,2007U.S. EPA issue paper titledRevising theAir QualityIndex and Settinga SigniJicantHarm Level for PM2.,. 

# No monitoring site inWest Virginia has recorded a 24-hour PM,, level greater than 140.4 pg/m3since2006. To demonstratethis, a U.S. EPA QuickLook Report (AMP450) for 2006, 2007 and 2008 is enclosed, alongwith certified 2009 datarecently submitted to the U.S. EPA Air Quality System. Becausethis level was never exceededin any areaofWest Virginia, DEP certifiesthat the state has appropriate generalemergency powersto addressrelated episodes, and that no specific episodeplans are necessaryatthis time, giventhe existingmonitoring levels. West Virginia's authority comparableto that in Section 303ofthe CAA hasbeen addressedin a previous SIPrevision.
