Re: Certification of Clean Air Act Section 1 10(a)(2)(G) State Implementation Plan Element 

Under the'1997 and 2006 PM,, National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

Dear Administrator Garvin: 

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) herein certifies how the West Virginia 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) satisfies a specific ''infrastructure" element for state SIPS 

required under section 1 10(a)(2)(G) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 1997 and the 2006 PM2,3 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). 

This certification follows Mr. William T. Harnett's September 2009 memorandum entitled 

Guidance on SIP Elements Required under Sections 11 0 (a)(l) and (2) for the 2006 24-Hour 

Fine particle (PM,,) National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and the levels discussed in the 

February 12,2007 U.S. EPA issue paper titled Revising the Air Quality Index and Setting a 

SigniJicant Harm Level for PM2.,. 

No monitoring site in West Virginia has recorded a 24-hour PM,, level greater than 140.4 

pg/m3 since 2006. To demonstrate this, a U.S. EPA Quick Look Report (AMP 450) for 2006, 

2007 and 2008 is enclosed, along with certified 2009 data recently submitted to the U.S. EPA 

Air Quality System. Because this level was never exceeded in any area of West Virginia, DEP 

certifies that the state has appropriate general emergency powers to address related episodes, and 

that no specific episode plans are necessary at this time, given the existing monitoring levels. 

West Virginia's authority comparable to that in Section 303 of the CAA has been addressed in a 

previous SIP revision.
