### ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2014, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management gave notice of the opportunity for a public hearing and comment on a noninterference demonstration performed to support the Department's request to EPA to remove the
7.8 psi Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) ozone season gasoline requirement in Jefferson and Shelby Counties.
WHEREAS, no requests for a public hearing were received and therefore no public hearing was held; and
WHEREAS, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management received no written comments; and
WHEREAS, no revisions were made to the proposed documents.

NOW THEREFORE, as Director of the Department, I hereby adopt the proposed revision
to the State of Alabama's State Implementation Plan demonstrating that removal of the federal
RVP requirement of7.8 psi for gasoline sold during the summer months in Jefferson and Shelby Counties will not interfere with maintenance of the NAAQS. I hereby further state that this revision shall become effective on the date indicated below.

### Legal Notice Proof of Publication of Legal NoticeALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 350 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE ALABAMA STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP) Notice is hereby given that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management is providing the opportunity for interested persons to comment on the Demonstration to Provide for the Removal of the 7.8 psi Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) Ozone Season Gasoline Requirement in Jefferson and Shelby Counties. Interested parties may request that a public hearing be held. If a hearing is held, it will be held on November 7, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. in the Main Hearing Room at the ADEM - Central Office location at 1400 Coliseum Blvd. Those requesting a hearing should call (334) 271-7909. The deadline to submit a request for a hearing is 5:00 p.m. on November 5, 2014. If no hearing is to be held, a Notice of Cancellation of the hearing will be posted on November 6, 2014, on the Department's website located at www.adem.state.al.us/PubHearings/PubHearings.htm. Interested persons may also call (334) 271-7909 to determine if a public hearing will be held. Section 211(h) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to set a maximum gasoline RVP standard of 9.0 psi during the summer ozone season. Additionally, this section also provides EPA with the authority to establish more stringent RVP standards in nonattainment areas. On March 2, 2012, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a proposed revision to Alabama's SIP removing Chapter 335-3-20 "Control of Fuels", which included the rule that required the use of 7.0 psi Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) gasoline in Jefferson and Shelby counties (the Birmingham area) during the summer months. EPA approved this revision. This revision to the SIP resulted in the default federal RVP requirement of 7.8 psi applying to the area. Through this technical demonstration, ADEM is now requesting that EPA take the necessary steps to change the federal RVP requirement to 9.0 psi during the summer months in the Birmingham area. Copies of the proposed report are available at a cost of 30 cents per page at each of the ADEM office locations listed below or on the Internet at www.adem.state.al.us/PubHearinqs/PubHearinqs.htm at no cost.

### Final Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) Technical Demonstration

## ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (ADEM} REID VAPOR PRESSURE (RVP} TECHNICAL DEMONSTRATION



# November 2014

## Demonstration to Provide for the Removal ofthe 7.8 PSI Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) Gasoline Requirement in Jefferson and Shelby Counties

On March 2, 2012, the Alabama Department ofEnvironmental Management (ADEM) submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a proposed revision to Alabama's SIP removing Chapter 335-3-20 "Control of Fuels", which included the rule that required the use of7.0 psi Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) gasoline in Jefferson and Shelby counties (the Birmingham area) during the RVP control period, which runs from
June I st 

### through September 15 1 h 

### of each year. EPA approved this revision on April 20,
2012 (77 FR 23619). The revision to the SIP resulted in the default federal RVP requirement of7.8 psi applying to the area. Through this technical demonstration, ADEM is now requesting that EPA take the necessary steps to change the federal RVP requirement to 9.0 psi during the summer months in the Birmingham area.

Section 21l(h) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to set a maximum gasoline
RVP standard of9.0 psi during the summer ozone season. Additionally, this section also provides EPA with the authority to establish more stringent RVP standards in nonattainment areas "as the Administrator finds necessary to generally achieve comparable evaporative emissions (on a per vehicle basis) in nonattainment areas, taking into consideration the enforceability of such standards, the need of an area for emission control, and economic factors."

The lower RVP requirement was clearly intended to reduce emissions of evaporative volatile organic compounds (VOC). At the time the regulations were adopted, the control

1

### ofVOC emissions was thought to be an effective strategy for reducing ground-level

ozone. As scientific understanding of ozone formation in the Southeast U.S. evolved, it

was discovered that nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions played a much larger role in the creation of ground-level ozone than that ofVOC emissions (See Attachment A). This is primarily due to the abundance of biogenic VOC emissions in the region. While the relaxation of the RVP level would result in a very slight increase in both VOC and NOx, this increase is more than offset by the decrease in emissions resulting from fleet turnover (Point 6 below). The demonstration clearly shows a downward trend in overall NOx and VOC emissions continuing through 2024. Therefore, the RVP relaxation will not affect the Birmingham area's ability to comply with the 1997 and 2008 ozone standard, the 20 I 0 !-hour N02 standard, or the PM2.5 standards. Additionally, the relaxation of the RVP level will not significantly affect emissions oflead, carbon monoxide or sulfur dioxide and will not affect the ability ofthe area to comply with the
current NAAQS for these pollutants.
ADEM is requesting the change to 9.0 psi for the summertime gasoline RVP requirement for the Birmingham area for the following additional reasons: I. As shown below, the lower federal RVP requirement does very little to reduce

ozone precursor emissions and therefore is an ineffective strategy for reducing

ozone concentrations. 2. Low RVP fuel likely increases refining costs. The distribution system in the Birmingham area must segregate low RVP and normal RVP supplies in pipelines, storage, and transport. ADEM estimates that these costs lead to an increased

2

### expenditure by Birmingham area consumers of at least $9 million per ozone

season. 3. Significant resources are expended by regulatory agencies and the marketing system to insure compliance with low RVP rules, for negligible air quality benefit. 4. A new NAAQS for ozone is expected to be announced in 2015. If the Birmingham area violates the new standard, ADEM will be reviewing all feasible

ozone reduction measures in the future. In light of the ineffectiveness of low R VP gasoline as a means to reduce ozone, and even if9.0 RVP gasoline were in place
in Birmingham and other Southeast areas now, no regulatory agency in the Southeast would consider lowering RVP as a viable ozone reduction measure. 5. The ozone maintenance plan for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard presumed that a summertime gasoline RVP of9.0 psi would be in place for future years. 6. ADEM applied the MOVES model to evaluate the potential effects on emissions ofVOC and NOx from vehicles only in the Birmingham area (Jefferson and Shelby Counties) resulting from increasing summertime gasoline RVP from 7.8 psi to 9.0 psi in the summer of2015. Results of this modeling are shown in Table
I below. The analysis indicates that summertime emissions ofNOx and VOC would be expected to increase by about 24 tons and 80 tons, respectively, in 2015 solely due to the RVP relaxation. Additional model runs were carried out to isolate the effects of 2014-2015 fleet turnover on emissions. As shown in the table, the emissions reductions resulting from fleet turnover from 2014 to 2015
alone far outweigh the slight increase of emissions produced from the 7.8 psi to

3

### 9.0 psi gasoline RVP increase. Also included in the table is the net change in NOx and VOC emissions from 2014 (RVP 7.8) to 2015 (RVP 9.0). For comparison
purposes, Table I also shows total emissions from all sources in the Birmingham

area. It is clear that the small increase in emissions from the R VP relaxation is insignificant compared to the decrease in emissions from fleet turnover and total emissions from all sources in the area. It 

### should also be noted that fleet turnover will result in a continued decrease in emissions from mobile sources in future
years (See Figures 1-4). Supporting modeling files are available upon request. The version of the MOVES model used for the information in this document is MOVES2010b. Due to the timing of the release of the updates to the MOVES model, MOVES20 I 0 was used for the 24-Hour PM2.5 maintenance plan, and MOVES20 I Oa was used for the Annual PM2.5 maintenance plan. MOVES20 1 Oa

was a minor update to MOVES2010. MOVES2010a allowed MOVES users to
account for emissions under new car and light truck energy and greenhouse gas standards. There were also several improvements to MOVES general performance. MOVES2010a included reductions in greenhouse gases associated with those standards in future calendar years, and small reductions in refueling and sulfur-related emissions associated with the reductions in vehicle fuel consumption. The net impact of these changes on criteria pollutants was small. With MOVES20 I Oa, regional inventory runs should see an increase in methane emissions and a small decrease in the VOC and air toxics emissions from these

same emissions in MOVES2010.

4

### MOVES2010b was a second update to MOVES2010. MOVES2010b builds on the functionality of the other MOVES versions. More detailed pollutant output has been added to MOVES20 I Ob. Air taxies emissions calculations have been improved with this version of the model. Minor changes to standard air taxies coefficients may result in small changes to air taxies emissions. MOVES20 I Ob does not significantly affect the criteria pollutant emissions results of MOVES2010.

### Further Explanation of Table 1 MOVES2010b was used to perform two runs for 2015. One run used an RVP of 7.8 psi, while the other used an RVP of9.0. The difference in the NOx and VOC emissions for these two runs provided the "Emissions Increase in 2015 Due to RVP Change of7.8 to 9.0", which is the second column ofTable 1. 

### The overall increase in NOx emissions for 2015 due solely to the RVP change was 24 tons. It

5

### should be noted that this emissions increase shown in the second column of Table
I will never be realized in the real world. The real world emissions changes from 2014 to 2015 resulting from the RVP change and fleet turnover will be closer to the values shown in the fourth column of Table I.

MOVES2010b was used to perform two runs to account for fleet turnover in 2015. The RVP was held constant at 7.8 with one run for 2014 and another run for 2015. The difference in the NOx emissions for these two runs provided the "Emissions Decrease Resulting from 2014 to 2015 Fleet Turnover", which is the third column ofTable 

### I. The overall decrease in NOx emissions for 2015 due to fleet turnover was 489 tons. The increase in NOx emissions of24 tons due to the
RVP change only was minimal compared to the decrease in NOx emissions of 489 tons due to fleet turnover. Overall, there would still be a net decrease in NOx emissions from 2014 to 2015 of 465 tons. This is reflected in the "Net Mobile Source Emissions Change From 2014 (RVP=7.8) to 2015 (RVP=9.0)" which is the fourth column ofTable 1.



### The supporting modeling files for the mobile runs are provided on the enclosed disc.
7. The Birmingham area is presently in compliance of the 2008 8-hour ozone standard for the years 2012-2014. The improvements in the ambient air quality data over this period were attributable to a combination of national measures, local controls, unit shutdowns and weather patterns.

maintenance plan. Using MOVES2010a, a 9.0 psi RVP was assumed for the 1997 annual PM2.5 maintenance plan. Subsequent to the submission of these two plans,

### the MOVES model was revised to version 2010b. An evaluation of the mobile

source emissions in both plans was carried out using MOVES 2010b, while also assuming a 9.0 psi RVP for both. The results of this analysis are demonstrated in the following tables:

As shown in the tables, the resulting differences in emissions when utilizing
MOVES 20 I Ob and a 9.0 psi R VP were of such insignificance that the decision

was made not to revise the maintenance plans for the purpose of this demonstration.
An evaluation of the NOx and VOC emissions during the years covered by the
two maintenance plans as well as the calculation of emissions benefits was also carried out using MOVES 2010b while assuming a 9.0 psi RVP level. As the graphs below demonstrate, a clear downward trend is shown for both NOx and
VOC in future years even with 9.0 psi gasoline.
Mobile6.2 was used for the current 8-Hour ozone maintenance plan. The most
current model, MOVES2010b, was used for this RVP Technical Demonstration.

### Generally, NOx emissions estimates tend to be significantly higher in MOVES than in MOBILE6. This can vary significantly depending on the area. However, both models predict a distinct downward trend in future year NOx and VOC emissions as a result of fleet turnover. The emissions represented in Table I of this demonstration, represent emissions and calculations based on the ozone period (June !-September 15). In both the ozone maintenance plan and this RVP demonstration, both NOx and VOC emissions show a downward trend even with

an assumed RVP of9.0 in future years. This is substantiated by both models. The 1997 8-hour ozone maintenance plan established mobile source emissions budgets of 42 tons per day for NOx and 23 tons per day for VOC for years 2017 and beyond. The daily NOx and VOC projections for future years assuming an RVP of9.0 shown in Figures 3 and 4 are consistent with this budget.

### It 

### is our conclusion that the 7.8 psi summertime gasoline RVP requirement has minimal impact on lowering ozone concentrations in the Birmingham area. Because of this, as previously mentioned, a summertime RVP of9.0 psi was used in the current maintenance plan for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.

The Birmingham area currently meets the 2008 8-hour 75 ppb ozone standard for the period 2012-2014. As shown in the graphs above, future emissions ofNOx and VOC from mobile sources in the Birmingham area are predicted to continue a steady downward trend in future years with 9.0 psi gasoline.

ADEM has made previous submissions demonstrating that NOx emissions do not significantly contribute to PM 25 

### formation in the Birmingham area. Nevertheless, based

on the figures shown above, relaxation of summertime RVP in Birmingham from 7.8 psi
to 9.0 psi is not expected to increase NOx emissions significantly and should not interfere with maintenance of the PM 25 

### standards in the area. Future year emissions ofNOx and VOC from mobile sources in the Birmingham area are predicted to continue a steady downward trend in future years with 9.0 psi gasoline.

ADEM believes that the information provided in this technical demonstration is sufficient
to enable EPA to proceed with rulemaking to raise gasoline RVP for the Birmingham

area to 9.0 psi beginning with the 2015 ozone season.

## Attachment A

NOxNOC Ozone Sensitivity Analysis
As previously shown in this demonstration, the gasoline RVP requirement in Jefferson and Shelby Counties does very little toward reducing ozone precursor emissions, and it primarily reduces VOC emissions, which are relatively unimportant in the formation of ozone in Birmingham. The analysis presented in this Attachment shows that VOC controls, even over a broad region, are ineffective in reducing ozone concentrations in Birmingham. Over the last 20 years, scientific understanding of ozone formation in the Southeastern US has continued to evolve through analyses and modeling performed in support of State Implementation Plan development. One of the findings that has evolved from these efforts is the relative insensitivity of ground level ozone to reductions in anthropogenic VOC emissions in the southeastern US. This is due in large part to the abundance of VOC emissions from natural sources (forests, etc.). As part of the ASIP 1 

### and SEMAP 2 

### projects, Georgia Tech performed modeling sensitivity analyses to examine the impact of NOx and VOC emissions reductions on 8-hour ozone concentrations. The modeling was performed using a June 1-July 10,2002, summer episode with a 12 km modeling domain and 2009 on the wa/ (OTW) Base D Emissions.

1 ASIP- The Association for Southeastern Integrated Planning. In addition to the Regional Haze SIPs, many southeastern states were required to submit SIPs demonstrating attainment of the 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS. The states that participated in the VISTAS project concluded that a collaborative process was the most efficient approach for the collective states to develop information upon which to base attainment demonstrations.

2 SEMAP- The Southeastern Modeling. Analysis, and Planning Project. The SEMAP project is designed to meet the following goals; leverage the resources and capabilities oflocal and state agencies in the ten southeastern states, assess regional air quality in relation to national ambient air quality standards and regional haze goals, determine possible emission controls that will reduce transport and assist states in meeting Clean Air Act requirements, offer interaction with stakeholders having various interests in the project, and provide documentation and data to support submittal to EPA of State Implementation Plans. The SEMAP agency participants mirror the VISTAS and ASIP projects.

3 The "On the Way" BaseD emissions inventory was a 2009 grown inventory (from 2002- base case) and included all known control programs, including the first phase of CAIR controls.

### In 

### this analysis, point source NOx emissions in Alabama and surface NOx emissions in Jefferson and Shelby counties were reduced by 30%. This resulted in about a 4 ppb reduction in 8-hour ozone concentrations in Birmingham (see graph)

. When VIST AS 4 

### region anthropogenic VOCs were collectively reduced by 30% , this resulted in a slight increase (dis-benefit) in ozone in Birmingham (see graph)

. This analysis shows that NOx controls are effective in reducing ozone concentrations in Birmingham while VOC controls, even over a broad region , are ineffective in reducing ozone concentrations in Birmingham.

### analysis was carried out a number of years ago, the continued downward trends in both
NOx and VOC still clearly validate the results. In fact, the results shown in the analysis

are now conservative due to further emissions reductions that have taken place through national measures as well as controls and shutdowns since the time the analysis was initially carried out. Again, this analysis is not included as the basis for this noninterference demonstration, but is simply included as additional evidence showing that the lower RVP level is unnecessary in the Birmingham area.
