VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: Amendments to Rule 4901 will reduce 5.1 tons per day of directly emitted PM2.5 emissions from the residential wood burning source category during the wood bur ning season (November through February). See calculation

summaries below: • Lowering curtailment threshold from 30 to 20 μg/m3 – 3.33 tons/day of reductions from high polluting devices – 0.065 tons/day increase in emissions from registered devices when PM2.5 conc entrations are forecast to be 30 to 65 μg/m3

• 24% transition of old dirtier wood burni ng heaters and fireplaces to cleaner devices – 2.04 tons/day of reductions from the transition – 0.22 tons/day increase in emissions fr om newly registered devices when PM2.5 c oncentrations are forecast to be 20 to 65 μg/m3 TOTAL EMISSION REDUCTIONS: 5.1 tpd PM2.5
