### NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOR: INTERSTATE TRANSPORT OF PM2.5 UNDER SECTION 1l0(a)(2)(D)(i) AND INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT UNDER SECTIONS 1l0(A)(1) AND (2) OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT; REVISION OF ACTION LEVELS IN AIR POLLUTION EPISODE COMMUNICATION HANDBOOK; AND REGIONAL HAZE PURSUANT TO 40 CFR SECTION 51.308 Notice is hereby given that the NEWYORK STATE DEPARTMENT DF EfltVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION (Department) Will hold alegislative PUBLIC HEARING on three separate proposais: 1. Aproposed State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision demonstrating that· New York State air quality plans meet the requirements 

### ot section 11 O(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act (CM) related to interstate transport and providing an "infrastructure" assessment demonstrating that New York's air program addresses basic SIP requirements related to the attainment 

### ofnew or revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NMQS) pursuantto sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CM. New York is required to submilto the United Slates Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aSIP revision demonstrating that the interstate transport of particulate matter emitted in New York that is equal to or less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) does not contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, any other state with respect to any such primary or secondary NMQS, or interfere with measures required to be inclUded in the applicable implementation plan for any other state to prevent significant deterioration of air quality or to protect visibility in accordance with section 11 0(a)(2)(D)(i). Also included in this proposal is ademonstration that. pursuant to sections 110(a)(1) and (2), the New York air program includes the basic requirements such as emission inventories, monitoring and modeling to assure attainment, maintenance and entorcement of the standards. The' "infrastructure" assessment documenting that New York State's program has the legal and administrative authority and resources to meet the requirements of the CM must also be submitted to the EPA. 2. Aproposed revision to the alert levels in the "Air Pollution Episode Communication Handbook" which is used by the Department to implement 6 NYCRR Part 207, Control Measures For Air Pollution Episode, and to update the state and local emergency contacts for air pollution episodes. These alert levels reflect the PM2.5 Significant Harm Levels (SHLs) proposed by EPA on January 15, 2009 as well as values for other criteria pollutants, and are intended to address the requirements of CM section 11 0(a)(2)(G), Emergency Powers and Contingency Plans, as tMy apply to New York State. 3. Aproposed revision to the SIP lor Regional Haze. This proposed SIP revision, entnled "New York State Implementation Plan for Regional Haze" meets the requirements of sectionl69A of the CAA, which sets forth anational·goal for visibility which is the "prevention of any future, and the remedying of any existing, impairment 01 visibility in mandatory Class I Federal areas which impairment results from manmade air pollution." This SIP revision demonstrates how reductions in the emissions 01 visibility impairing pollutants in New York will result in adecrease in the degree of visibility impairment in federal Class I areas in the northeastern United States. This revision satisfies the requirements of the fedeml haze program found in 40 CFR Section 51.308 by evaluating the current and luture projected inventory of sources, assessing the progress necessary to reduce emissions to meet the inlerim 2018 goal, providing for consultation with other states, tribes and FLMs in establishing progress goals, and establishing a strategy by which New York's slme of regional emission reductions will be implemented. This strategy was arrived at through aconsultation process with other states and tribes, federal land managers (FLMs) and the EPA with which the State of New York agrees and commits to implement as described in this document. As required under the Regional Haze Program. FLMs, which include representatives of the USDA Forest Service, the National Park Service and tile U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, were provided a60-day period in which to review New York State's draft'Regional Haze SIP. Asummary of the FLM comments is as follows:

• The FLMs note that New York State has not finalized its Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) ruiemaking. BART control requirements are an element 01 the regional· Ilaze

program, and New York must have'a rule in place to require these controls to be implemented. The draft SIP, therefore. does not contain a list of source-specific controls and emission limits that would have resulted Irom the application of'BART requirements.

• New York's BART rule would allow "exemption' modeling" through which some potential BART sources can avoid BART because they are too small or their emissions do not

"cause or contribute" to visibility impairment. The FLMs are under the impression that New York agreed not to allow exemption modeling.

• During New York's BART rule promulgation, comments on the threshold by which a source may be shown to "cause· or contribute" to visibility impairment in Class I areas will

be solicited. Without the threshold being established now, the FLMs are concerned thalthe final list of**B~RT** sources cannot be identified.

• The FLMs are concerned that rulemaking delays will keep New York from meeting its 200B

- 2013 (I.e., the 5-year progress report) deadline.

• The FLMs question how proposed'emission controls were derived for New York's share of MANE-VU's "top 167" control strategy when BART determinations have yet to be conducted.

• The FLMs believe fuel sulfur limits similar to the iow.sulfur tuel oil strategy Which New York is planning to add to 6 NYCRR Part 225 in 2012 should be considered while conducting

BART determinations.

• The FLMs want adisclaimer added to the SIP acknowledging that the FLMs will be provided a60-day period in which to review BART determinations and any exemption modeling**demonstrations~** APUBLIC HEARING will be held lor this proposal at the following location and time: DATE: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 TIME: 11:00 A.M. PLACE: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 625 Broadway, Room 129B, Albany, NY 12233 The PUBLIC HEARING is scheduled in a place that is reasonably accessible to persons with impaired mobility. At the hearing, the Department will provide interpreter services for deaf persons at no charge. Written requests for such services are required llnd should be submitted by December 15, 2009, to Ms. Laura Stevens, NYSDEC, 625 Broadway, Albany NY 12233- 3250; (518) 402-8451; airregs@gwdec.state.nyus. Pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing regulations for the State Environmental Quality. Review Act, the Department has prepared aNegative Declaration stating that the proposed action will not have asignificant adverse effect on the environment.

. . The Department invites all persons,organizations, corporations, and government agencies that may be affected by the proposals·to attend the hearing and/or to submit oral or written statements for the record. Acumulative record,will be compiled of both oral and written statements received. It is not necessary for .persons wishing to make an oral statement to request an appointment in advance.

### State Implementation 

### Plan (SIP) revision demonstrating that 

### New YorkState air quality plans meetthe requirements

## atsection 110(a)(2)(D)(i) ofthe Clean AirAct (CAA) related 

### to interstate transport and providing an "infrastructurell assessment demonstrating that New 

### York's air program addresses basic SIP requirements 

### related to the attainment 01 

### new or revised Nationai AmbientAir Quality Standards (NAAQS) pursijantto sections 110(a)(1) and (2) ofthe CAA. New 

### York is required to submitto the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aSIP revisIon demonstrating that the interstate transport

## at particulate matter emitted in NewYork that is equal to 

### or less than 2.5 microns in size tpM2.5) does notcontribute significantlyto nonattainment in, or interferewith maintenance 

### by, anyotherstatewith respect

### to anysuch primaryorsecondaryNAAQS, 

### orinterferewith 

### measures' required to be included in 

### the applicable implementation plan for any other state to prevent significant deterioration of air quality orto protect visibility 

### in accordance with section 110(a)(2)(D)(i), Also included in this proposal is ademonstrationthat. pursuant to sections 

### 11O(a)(1) and (2L the New York air program includes the basic requirements such as emission inventories1 

### monitoring 

### and modeling to 

### assure attainment, maintenance and enforcement of the standards. 

### The "infrastructure" assessment documenting that New York 

### State's program has the legal and administrative 

### authority and resources to meetthe 

### requirements of the

# eM must also be submItted to the EPA. 2. A proposed revision to the alert levels in the "Air Pollution Episode Communication Handbook" which is used bythe Departmentto implement6

### NYCRR Part 207, Control Measures ForAir Pollution Episode, and to update the state and local emergencycontacts forairpollution episodes. 

### These alert levels reflectthe PM2.5 Significant Harm Levels (SHLs) proposed by EPA on January 15, 2009 as well a$ values for other criteria 

### pollutants, and are intended to address the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(G), Emergency Powers and Contingency Plans, as theyapply to 

### New York State. 3. A proposed revisjon to the SIP for Regional Haze. This proposed 

### SIP revision, entitled llNew York State 

### Implementation Plan tor Regional Hazell meets the requirements of section 169Aof the 

## eM, which sets forth anational goal forvisibility which is the Ilprevention of any 

### future, and the remedying 

### 01 any existIng, impairment of visibility in 

### mandatory Class I Federal areas which impairment results trom manmade air 

### pollution.." This SIP revision demonstrates how reductions in' the emissions of visibility impairing 

### pollutants in New York will result in adecrease in the degree of 

### visibility impairment in federal 

### Class I 

### areas in the northeastern United States. This 

### revision satisfies the requirements of the federal haze program found in 40 CFR Section 

### 51.308 byevaluating the currentand future projected inventoryofsources, assessing the progress necessaryto reduce 

### emissionsto meetthe interim 2018 goal, providing for consultation with other states, tribes and 

### FlMs in establishing progress 

### goals, 

### and establishing astrategy by which New 

### York's share of regional emission reductions will be implemented. This strategy 

### was arrived atthrough 

### aconsultation process with other states and tribes, federal land.managers'(FLMs) and the 

### EPA with which the State of 

### NewYork agrees and commits to Implementas described in this document.

. , As 

### required under the 

### Regional 

### Haze Program, 

### FlMs, which include 

### representatives ofthe 

### USDA Forest Service, the National Park Service and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, were provided a 

### 50-day period in which to review 

## New York 

## State's draft Regional Haie SIP. A summary of the FLM comments is as follows:

•The FLMs,note that New York State has not finalized its Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) 

### rulemaking. BART control requirements are an element of the regional haze

program, and New York must 

### have arule in 

### place to require these controls to be implemented. The dratt SIP, therefore, does not 

### contain alist ofsollrce-specitic controls and 

### emiSSIon limits that 

### would have resulted 

### fromthe application of 

### BART requirements.



### •**r~ew** 

### York's BART rule would allow "exemption modeling" through which some potential BART sources can avoid BART because they are too small 

## or their emissions do not

Ilcause or contribute" to visibility impairment. The 

### FlMs are uilderthe impression that New York agreed notto allow exemption 

### mod,eling.

• During New York's BART rule promulgation, comments on the threshold by 

### which asource may be shown to "cause or contribute" to 

### visibility impairment in Class I areas will



### be solicited. 

### Without the threshold being established nowl 

### the FlMs are concerned thatthe tinallist of BART 

### sources cannot be identified.



### •The FUvisare concerned that rulemaking delays 

### will keep New Yorkfrom meeting 

### its 2008 •2013 (i.e., the 

### s-year progress report) deadline,'



### •The FLMs question how proposed emission 

### controlswere 

### derived for 

### Ney! 

## York'sshare 

### 01 MANE·VU'slltop 167'.' 

## control strategywhen BARTdeterminations have yet to be conducted.

•The FLMs believe fuel sulfur limits similarto the low sulfurfuel oil strategywhich New York is planning to add to 6NYCRR Part225 in 2012 should be considered while conducting

BART determinations.

•The FLMs want adisclaimeradded to the SIP acknowledging that the FLMs will be provided a50

..day period in which to review BART determinations and 

## any exemption modeling

demonstrations. J\

### NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NEW YORK STATE 

### DEPARTMENTOF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS FOR: INTERSTATE TRANSPORT OF PM2.5 UNDER SECTION 1l0(a)(2)(D)(i) AND INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT UNDER SECTIONS 1l0(A)(1) AND (2) OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT; REVISION OF ACTION LEVELS IN AIR POLLUTION EPISODE COMMUNICATION HANDBOOK; AND REGIONAL HAZE PURSUANT TO 40 <::FR SECTION 51.308
Notice is herebygiven thatthe NEWYORK STATE OEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTALCONSERVATION (Department) will hold alegislative PUBLIC HEARING on three separate proposals: 1. Aproposed State Implementatlo'n Plan (SIP) revision demonstrating that New York State air quality plans meet the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act (CM) related to interstate transport and. providing an "infrastructure" assessment demonstrating that New York's air program addresses basic SIP requirements related to the attainment of new or revised National Ambient Air Ouality Standards (NMOS) pursuant to sections 110(a)(1) and (2) 01 the CM. New York is required to submit tothe United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) aSIP revision demonstrating that the interstate transport of particulate matter emitted in New York that is equal to or less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) does not contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, any other state with respect to any such primary or secondary NMOS, or interlere with measures required to be included in the applicable implementation plan for any other state to prevent significant deterioration of air quality or to protect visibility in accordance with section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). Also included in this proposal is a demonstration that, pursuant to sections 110(a)(l) and (2), the New York air program includes the basic requirements such as emission inventories, monitoring and mo.dellng to assure attainment, maintenance and enforcement of the standards. The "Infrastructure" assessment documenting that New York State's program has the legal and administrative authorfty and resources to meet the requirements of the CM must also be submitted to the EPA. 2. A'proposed revision to the alert levels in the "Air Pollution Episode Communication Handbook" which is used by the Department to implement 6 NYCRR Part 207, Control Measures For Air Pollution Episode, and to update the state and local emergency contacts for air pollution episodes. These alert levels reflect lhe PM2.5 Significant Harm Levels (SHLs) proposed by EPA on January 15, 2009 as well as values for other criteria pollutants, and are intended to address the requirements of CM section 11 0(a)(2)(G), Emergency Powers and Contingency Plans, as they apply to New York State. 3. Aproposed revision to the SIP for Regional Haze. This proposed SIP revision, entitled "New York State Implementation Plan for Regional Haze" meets the requirements of section 169A of the CM. which sets forth anational goal for visibility which is the "prevention of any future, and the remedying of any existing, impainment of visibility in mandatory Class I Federal areas which impainment results from manmade air pollution." This SIP revision demonstrates how reductions in the emissions of visibility impairing pollutants in New York will result In adecrease in the degree of visibilitylmpairment in federal Class I areas in the northeastern United States. This revision satisfies the requirements of the federal haze program found in 40 CFR Section 51.308 by evaluating the current and future projected inventory of sources, assessing the progress necessary to reduce emissions to meet the interim 2018 goal, providing for consultation with other states, tribes and FLMs in establishing progress goals, and establishing astrategy by which New York's share of regional emission reductions will be implemented. This strategy was arrived at through aconsultation process with other states and·tribes, federal land managers (FLMs) and the EPA with

. which the State of New York agrees and commits to implement as described in this document. As required under the Regional Haze Program, FLMs. which include representatives otthe USDA Forest SeMce, the National Park Service and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, were provided a50-day period in which to review New York State's draft Regional Haze SIP. Asummary of the FLM comments is as follows:

• The FLMs note that New York State has not finalized ·its Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) rulemaking. BART control requirements are an element of the regional

haze program, and New York must have a rule in place to require these controls to be implemented. The draft SIP, therefore, does not contain a list of source-specific controls and emission limits that would have resulted from the application of BART requirements.

• New York's BART rule would allow "exemption modeling" through which some potential BART sources can avoid BART because they are too small or their emissions

do not "cause or contribute" to Visibility impairment. The FLMs are under the impression that New York agreed not to allow exemption modeling.

• During New York's BART rule promulgation, comments on the threshoid by which a source may be shown to "cause or contribute" to visibility impairment in Class I

areas wiil be solicited. Without the threshold being established now, the FLMs are concerned that the final list of BART sources cannot be identified.

• The FLMs are concerned that rulemaking delays will keep New York from meeting its 2008

- 2013 (i.e., the 5·year progress report) deadline.

• The FLMs question how proposed emission controls were derived for New York's share of MANE-VU's "top 167" control strategy when BART determinations have yet to

be conducted.

. • The FlMs believe fuel sulfur limits similar to the low sullur fuel oil strategy which New York is planning to add to 6 NYCRR Part 225 in 2012 should be considered

while conducting BART determinations.

• The FlMs want a disclaimer added to the SIP acknowledging that the FLMs will be provided a 60·day period in which to review BART detemiinations and any exemption

modeling demonstrations. A PUBliC HEARING will be held for this proposal at the following location and time: DATE: Tuesday, January 5, 2010 TIME: 11:00 A.M
