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 NEW YORK 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 of new

or revised National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NMQS) pursuant to sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CM. New York is required to submilto the United Slates Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) a SIP 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 a disclaimer added to the SIP acknowledging that the FLMs will be provided a 60-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. Written statements received prior to, during, or after the hearing and oral statements made at the hearing will'be given equal weight.

Requests for information and comments related to the SIP revisions may be obtained from Diana Rivenburgh, NYSDEC, Division of Air Resources. 625 Broadway, Albany. NY 12233-3251,

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 of the USDA Forest Service, 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 Haie 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 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 from the 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 uilder the impression that New York agreed not to 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 that the tinallist of BART sources cannot be identified.

• The FUvisare concerned that rulemaking delays will keep New York from meeting its 2008 • 2013 (i.e., the s-year progress report) deadline,'

• The FLMs question how proposed emission controls were derived for Ney! York's share 01 MANE·VU'slltop 167'.' control strategy when BART determinations have yet to be conducted.

• The FLMs believe fuel sulfur limits similar to the low sulfur fuel oil strategy which New York is planning to add to 6NYCRR 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 a50..day period in which to review BART determinations and any exemption modeling

demonstrations.

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 hereby given that the NEW YORK STATE OEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION (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 a national 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 ot the USDA Forest SeMce, 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 Haze 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 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.

APUBliC HEARING will be held for 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

'. N,w York's BART rule would allow "exemption modeling" tllIouOIl which somo potential ·BAAT sources can avoid BAR,T because they are too small or their emissions

\ do 1I0t "caus. or contril'lIle" to visibility impairment. The FlMs are under tlte impression that New York agreelillotio allow exemption modeling,
