# 1. Introduction

This document consists of Maryla nd’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision developed for the purpose of meeting the Reasonably Available C ontrol Technology (RACT) requirements set forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA), as the requirement s apply to the 0.08 ppm 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This docum ent is hereafter referre d to as “Maryland’s 8- hour Ozone RACT SIP”, or simply as “the RACT SIP.” This document is a revised and updated copy of the RACT SIP that Maryland submitted, in 2006, for the entire state.


## 1.1. Background and Requirements

Ground level ozone, one of the principal components of “smog,” is a serious air pollutant that harms human health and the environment. High leve ls of ozone can damage the respiratory system and cause breathing problems, thro at irritation, coughing, ch est pains, and greater susceptibility to respiratory infection. High levels of ozone also cause serious damage to forests and agricultural crops, resulting in economic losses to logging and farming operations. On April 30, 2004, EPA designated 126 areas of the country as “nonatt ainment” under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Maryland has three moderate nonattainment areas: the Baltimore Nonattainment Area; the Washington D.C. Nonattainment Area; and the Ph iladelphia Nonattainment Area, which includes Cecil County, Maryland. Kent and Queen Anne’s Counties, lo cated on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, were classified as a marginal nonattainment area. They ha ve since been redesignat ed as attainment. In addition, Washington County, Maryland was classi fied as a basic nonattainment area, as Washington County is part of the Early Action Compact program. Washington County has also since been redesignated as attainment. All othe r remaining Maryland Counties are part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). Please re ference Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

Maryland has retained its major source leve ls at 25 tons per year for VOC and NO x 

### sources in the Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia nonattainme nt areas. It has retained its major source levels at 50 tons per year for VOC and 100 tons per year for NO x 

### in all remaining Maryland counties. These major source thresholds were established when these metropolitan areas were classified as “severe” under the 1-hour ozone sta ndard although these areas are now classified as “moderate.” The thresholds for the rest of the counties in Maryland are consistent with CAA requirements for the Northeast Ozone Transport Region (OTR).

Ozone is generally not directly emitted to the atmo sphere; rather it is formed in the atmosphere by photochemical reactions between volatile organi c compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NO x 

### ) in the presence of sunlight. Cons equently, in order to reduce ozone concentrations in the ambient air, the CAA requires a ll nonattainment areas to apply controls on VOC/NO x 

### emission sources to achieve emission reductions. Among effective c ontrol measures, the Reasonably Available Control Technology controls are a majo r group for reducing VOC and NO x 

### emissions from stationary

sources.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA ) has defined RACT as “the lowest emission limitation that a particular source is capable of meeting by the a pplication of control technology that is reasonably available considering technologi cal and economic feasib ility” (44 FR 53761 and 53762, September 17, 1979). Section 182 of the CAA se ts forth two separate RACT requirements for ozone nonattainment areas. The first requireme nt, contained in Sect ion 182(a)(2)(A) of the CAA, and referred to as “RACT fix-up,” require s the correction of RACT rules for which EPA identified deficiencies before the CAA wa s amended in 1990. Maryland currently has no deficiencies to correct under th is section of the CAA. The second requirement, established in

5

### 6 Section 182(b)(2) of the CAA, applies to modera te or worse ozone nonattainment areas around the country. It requires these areas to implement RACT controls on all sources and source categories that are covered by a Control Technique Guidel ine (CTG) document issued by EPA prior to the enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 or since then, and on all other major stationary VOC emissions sources, referred to as “non-CTG sources.” Under CAA Section 184(b)(1)(B), requirements comparable to those es tablished under Section 182( b)(2) are applicable to all areas in ozone transport regions. Under Section 182(f), the CAA es tablishes that Subpart 2 requirements applicable to major stationary so urces of VOCs, such as RACT requirements under Section 182(b)(2), are also applicable to major stationary sources of NO x 

### . Under Section 183 of the CAA, EPA was required to issue by certain tim eframes several guidance documents that would help states meet the requirements of Sec tion 182(b)(2). This requirement upon EPA includes developing (1) CTG documents for control of VOC emissions from stationary sources, and (2) Alternate Control Techniques (ACT) doc uments for controls of VOC and NO x 

### emissions from stationary sources.

Accordingly, EPA initially issued three groups of CTG documents: Group I, issued before January 1978 including 12 CTGs; Group II, issued in 1978 in cluding 11 CTGs; and Group III, issued in the early 1980s with 5 CTGs. These established a “presumptive norm” for RACT for various categories of VOC sources. Since the early 1980s, the EPA has issued over a dozen additional CTG documents for VOC sources, and the EPA has also issued over a do zen ACTs for various categories of VOCs and NO x 

### sources.

All published CTG and ACT documents , along with other documentation, are listed in Section 6 of this document. In general, states meet the CAA RACT requirements by imposing controls that meet the requirements established in final CTG documents. Information in ACT documents is also available to states to consider as they establish controls on relevant VOC and NO x 

### sources in their moderate or worse nonattainment areas. In areas with continuing nonattainment problems, such as the Baltimore Nonattainment Area, more stringent controls than those in the CTGs have been adopted as RACT or as beyond RACT.

Throughout the State, Maryland ha s implemented numerous RACT controls to meet the CAA RACT requirements. These RACT controls we re promulgated in the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.13, “Control of Gasolin e and Volatile Organic Compound Storage and Handling”; COMAR 26.11.19, “Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes”; and 26.11.09.08, “Control of NO x 

### Emissions for Major Stationary Sources.”

Maryland has also implemented controls necessary to meet the requirements of the Federal NO x 

### SIP Call (40 CFR 51.121). Maryland promulgated this control program in COMAR 26.11.29, “NO x 

### Reduction and Trading Program” and COMAR 26.11.30, “Policies and Procedures Relating to Maryland’s NO x 

### Reduction and Trading Program.” See 66 FR 1866, January 10, 2001, for EPA’s final rule approving the Maryland SIP revision th at consisted of the adoption of COMAR 26.11.29 and 26.11.30.

When EPA passed the Clean Air Interstate Ru le (CAIR) and effectively repealed the NO x 

### SIP Call, Maryland revised its regulations to maintain the requirements of the NO x 

### SIP Call. Currently, Maryland meets the NO x 

### RACT requirements through COMAR 26.11.29.03, “Emission Reduction Requirements for Portland Cement Manufact uring Plants” and 26.11.29.05, “Emission Reduction Requirements for Stationary Internal Combustio n Engines at Natural Gas Pipeline Compression Stations.” These regulations ensure that affected cement manufacturing facilities and stationary

### 7 internal combustion engines achieve RACT level reductions because they meet the NO x 

### SIP Call requirements of at least a 30 percent and 82 pe rcent reduction, respectively, from uncontrolled levels (70 FR at 71653, November 29, 2005). Also, COMAR 26.11.14.07, which Maryland adopted in 2010, addresses previous NO x 

### SIP Call requirements related to Kraft Pulp Mills.

# 2. Certification of VOC and NO x 

# RACT Requirements

Maryland is certifying that it meets the CAA RA CT requirements for Maryland major sources for the 8-hour ozone standard. Maryland has retained its major source levels at 25 tons per year for VOC and NO x 

### sources in the Baltimore, Washi ngton, DC, and Philadelphia (Cecil County, Maryland) nonattainment areas. These major source thresholds are consistent with the areas that were classified as “severe” in the state although these areas are now classified as “moderate.” Major source levels remain at 50 tons pe r year for VOC and 100 tons per year for NO x 

### in all remaining Maryland counties which are pa rt of the Ozone Transport Region.

Maryland is also certifying through this SIP that, except as provided for herein, Maryland meets the CAA RACT requirements for the 50 TPY non- CTG major VOC sources and for 100 TPY NO x 

### sources, and that all CTG-covered categories are addr essed at the cut-off level set in the CTG (or in “Issues Related to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, De ficiencies and Deviations, Clarification to Appendix D of November 24, 1987 Federal Regist er,” dated May 25, 1988 (also known as the “Blue Book”) for those CTG categories for wh ich the original CTG set no cut-off).

This certification is based on a combination of (1) cer tification that previo usly adopted RACT controls in Maryland’s SIP th at were approved by EPA under the 1-hour ozone NAAQS are based on the current availability of tec hnically and economically feasible c ontrols and that they represent RACT for 8-hour implementation purposes, and (2 ) the adoption of new or more stringent regulations that represent RACT control levels. The requireme nts in Table 1 and Table 2 are certified as RACT with respect to the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.



## 2 .1. Certification of VOC RACT Requirements

Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.06, 26.11.10, 26.11.11, 26.11.13, 26.11.14, 26.11.19, and 26.11.24 represent Maryland’s VOC RACT controls that were implemented and approved into the Maryland SIP under the 1-hou r ozone NAAQS. Maryland also uses COMAR 26.11.06.06 to achieve significant reductions from unique VOC sources. Identification and certification of these VOC RACT co ntrols is provided in Table 1 below. Explanations for each column of Table 1 are as follows:

• Column 1: Identifies each s ection of COMAR 26.11.06, 26.11.10, 26.11.11, 26.11.13, 26.11.14, 26.11.19, and 26.11.24 which contain Maryla nd’s VOC RACT provisions. COMAR 26.11.13 and 26.11.19 required major VOC emitting sources to comply with the relevant provisions by May 31, 1995. Under th e 1-hour ozone standard, the VOC RACT regulation defines a major VOC emitting sour ce as a stationary source that emits VOCs greater than or equal to 25 TPY in Maryla nd’s severe nonattainme nt areas (Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Cecil Count y, Maryland), and 50 TPY in the remaining counties. Under the 8-hour ozone standard, the same major source thresholds apply and the stringency of the RACT regula tions are reviewed for certifi cation as RACT for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

• Column 2: Explains RACT control applicability and requirements.

### 9 • Column 3: Identifies the underlying ba sis for the RACT determination.

• Column 4: Identifies all CTG categories for which there are no facili ties in that state and submits a Negative Declaration stating that there are no such facilities.

• Column 5: Identifies the SIP number and the da te in which the final rule appeared in the Federal Register.

Maryland Small Source Requirement for VOCs

In regulation COMAR 26.11.02, “Perm its, Approvals and Registration,” Maryland has established a comprehensive review process for minor s ources. Through keeping the Maryland exemption threshold extremely low, all other sources are incl uded in the review process. The affected minor sources emit well below the major source and CTG threshold. The re quirements of COMAR 26.11.02 ensure that all major and CTG sources are controlled by RACT at a minimum.

Maryland also implemented controls necessary to meet the requirements of the Federal NO x 

### SIP Call (40 CFR 51.121). This control program was pr eviously promulgated in and more recently partially repealed from COMAR 26.11.29 and CO MAR 26.11.30 which contained requirements for trading sources and non-trading s ources. These requirements were recently relocated to COMAR 26.11.29.03 and 26.11.29.05 for the purpose of maintain ing the requirements of the NO x

### emissions are subject to the RACT standards of COMAR 26.11.09.08 “Control of NO x 

### Emissions from Major Stationary Sources .” The regulation id entifies a number of different types of fuel burning equipmen t as well as other major sources of NO x 

### emissions and provides appropriate standards and options for comp liance. Boilers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) a nd the National Institutes of Hea lth (NIH) are subject to these standards. In addition, the boilers at the Pennw ood Generating Station of RG Steel are subject to these limits because they use blast furnace gas as a fuel, rather than coal, oil or gas alone.

Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08A “Applicability” id entifies the major s ource thresholds th roughout Maryland and COMAR 26.11.09.08B “General Requirements and Co nditions” has general standards for oil, gas and coal fired equipment. The standards are identified based on equipment type and fuel and are fairly general. The st andards are 0.20, 0.25 and 0.38 lbs NO x 

### per million Btu for gas, oil and coal fired (dry bottom) equipment, respectiv ely. COMAR 26.11.09.08C-K id entifies specific types of equipment and sets specific limits for that equipment, and these RACT limits are covered separately, below. The specific types include gl ass furnaces; cement kilns; kraft pulp mills; space heaters; municipal waste combustors; hospital, medi cal and infectious waste incinerators; internal combustion engines at gas compression stations; co mbustion turbines; and bo ilers of several sizes: greater than 250MMBtu/hr, less than 250 MMBtu/hr but greater th an 100 MMBtu/hr, and less than 100 MMBtu/hr. COMAR 26.11.09.08A ensures that all major sources of NO x 

### are covered by a RACT standard.

The combination of standards and control options is based on a feasibility analysis of existing sources, operational characteristics, age of equipment, combustion t echnology, fuels in use, process requirements, the cost for controls, and inform ation and guidance in the following documents:

The economic impact range and guidelines for the implementation of RACT standards is discussed in the individual write-ups.

### 29 Recommendation

The NO x 

### standards and option under COMAR re gulation 26.11.09.08B represent RACT for general fuel burning equipment at major sources for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

COMAR 26.11.09.08A and B establish applicable majo r source limits and general standards for the most prevalent type of NO x 

### sources. Selection of these standards as the st arting point for RACT is based on an analysis of feasible controls fo r recent technologies using the EPA guidance documents listed above. Achieving these standards may or may not be cost eff ective for all types of fuel burning equipment at major sources and additional analyses are presented in cases where exceptions to these standards are given.

## RACT Analysis for Fuel-Burning Equipment with a Rated Heat Input Capacity of 250 MM Btu/hr or Greater

Introduction

Fifteen of the largest electric generating units belong to this ca tegory and are coal fired. Four additional units are gas, oil or dual-fueled gas/o il units. Utilization of the non-electric generating units in this heat input range takes place th roughout the year at high capacity levels.

The electric generating sources include d in this category are as follows:

AES Warrior Run Generating Station Fluidized bed coal-fired boiler

American Sugar Refining, Inc.

Constellation Power: Brandon Shores Generating Station 2 coal-fired boilers C P Crane Generating Station 2 coal-fired boilers Gould Street Station Herbert A Wagner Generating Station 2 coal-fired boilers 1 gas boiler 1 oil boiler Perryman Generating Station Riverside Generating Station 1 boiler

National Institutes of Health

Panda Brandywine Generating Station

R. Paul Smith Generating Station 2 coal-fired boilers

NRG Vienna Generating Station



### Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08C “Requirements for Fuel-Burni ng Equipment with a Rated Heat Input Capacity of 250 Million Btu Per Hour or Greater” contains several standards for coal-fired electric generating units, a standard for oil or gas fire d electric generating units and standards for nonelectric generating units. Non-electr ic generating units are required to meet the standard of 0.70 lbs of NO x 

### per Million Btu during ozone season and 0.99 lbs of NO x 

### per Million Btu during the rest of the year. Oil fired or gas/oil-fired units located at electric generating facilities are required to meet the standard of 0.30 lbs of NO x 

### per Million Btu. RACT requirement s for coal fired units in this regulation are superseded by the more rest rictive standa rds under COMAR 26.11.27 which is considered beyond RACT at this point. Two of the dual-fueled units ar e required, through consent orders, to operate on natural gas. This RACT determination is based on analysis of operational characteristics of sources, age of equipmen t, combustion technology, fuel composition, process requirements, the cost for controls, and inform ation and guidance in the following documents:

1. Summary of NO x 

### Control Technologies and their Extent of Application, USEPA February 1992;

### 31 2. State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990; 3. USEPA Memorandum Subject: De Minimis Values for NO x

### Emissions from Industrial/Commercial/Institutional (ICI) Boilers (EPA-453/R-94-022).

Combustion modification technologie s for boilers greater than 250 MMBtu/hr are adaptable to the different types and designs of boilers. The imp act of these technologies is minimal on boiler operation and can be controlled. Once these technol ogies are integrated in to the operation of the boiler, the standards can be maintained by fo llowing operating practices. For coal, oil and gas boilers, low NO x 

### burner technology, gas reburn, flue gas recirculation and other combustion controls and optimization are applicable.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

Units in this size category insta lled controls in response to the NO x 

### SIP Call. Many units installed selective catalytic reduction (SCR) controls, over-fired air and se parated over-fired air. Several units installed SCR post-NO x 

### SIP Call. Most of these controls fall in the range of $1,500- $2,500/ton.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### standards under COMAR regulation 26.11.09.08C represent RACT for fuel burning equipment with a heat input capacity of 250 MMBtu/hr and greater for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS. Most units are controlled beyond RACT levels.

Rationale

This RACT is based on an analys is of feasible controls from the EPA guidance documents listed above considering cost-effectiveness. Most of these units are now subject to more stringent standards established by the NO x 

### SIP Call which are maintained in regulations specific to the industry which utilizes the boiler. All coal-fired utility boilers in Maryland are subject to more stringent emission limitations under COMAR 26.11.27. Most oil-fired ut ility boilers with dual-fuel capability are subject to consent orders that requ ire the boilers to operate on natural gas. For purposes of this standard, COMAR 26.11.27 and the consent orders are considered beyond RACT. Since these boilers are subject to these more stringent controls , the rates in 26.11.09.08 are certified as RACT.

## RACT Analysis for Fuel-Burning Equipment with a Rated Heat Input Capacity of Less Than 250 MMBtu/hr and Greater Than 100 MMBtu/hr

Introduction

Maryland has 55 units of fuel burning equipment each with an input capacity of less than 250 MMBtu/hr and greater than 100 MMBt u/hr. A majority of these units are gas fired and operate at capacity factors of greater than 50% throughout the year . Only one facility has coal-fired boilers in this size range.

Point sources in this category include:

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, LLC Chesapeake Renewable Energy, LLC Fort Detrick Johns Hopkins Hospital Mack Trucks, Inc. National Institutes of Health Naval Support Facility - Indian Head Tri-gen Baltimore Energy Spring Gardens Plant University of Maryland W.R. Grace and Co.

Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08D “Requirements for Fuel-Burni ng Equipment with a Rated Heat Input Capacity of Less than 250 Million Btu Per H our and Greater than 100 Million Btu Per Hour” requires coal fired units to m eet the standard of 0.65 lbs NO x 

### per Million Btu. Oil and gas fired units are required to meet the standards of 0.25 and 0.20 lbs NO x 

### per Million Btu respectively. This RACT determination is based on analysis of operational characteristics of sources, cost for controls, information and guidance in the following documents:

1. Summary of NO x 

### Control Technologies and their Extent of Application, USEPA February 1992; 2. State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990; 3. USEPA Memorandum Subject: De Minimis Values for NO x 

### RACT, from G.T. Helms, Ozone Policy and Strategies Group, dated 1/1/1995; and 4. Alternative Control Techniques (ACT) document, NO x 

### Emissions from Industrial/Commercial/Institutional (ICI) Boilers (EPA-453/R-94-022).

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The standards can be met with combustion modifications and existing controls . Cost effectiveness of combustion modification falls generally in the range of $300-1,000/ton (based on data from manufacturers, publications and EPA documents).

### 33 Recommendation

The NO x 

### standards under COMAR regulation 26.11.09.08D represent RACT for fuel burning equipment with a heat input capacity of less than 250 MMBtu/hr and greater than 100 MMBtu/hr for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

This RACT is based on an analys is of feasible controls and th e EPA guidance documents listed above. Since many of the boilers in this category are ut ilized in schools and hospitals which have less ability to afford more expens ive controls, these sta ndards represent cost effective controls for the type of fuel burning equipment in this catego ry. Implementation of this RACT standard does not require excessive expense for the owners. The federal facility is phas ing out its coal fired boilers by 2015.

## NO x 

## RACT Analysis for Fuel-Burning Equipment with a Rated Heat Input Capacity of 100 MMBtu/hr or Less

Introduction

Maryland has approximately 1,400 units of fuel burn ing equipment each with an input capacity of 100 MMBtu/hour or less. A majority of these units are oil fired and operate at a capacity factor of less than 50% because they operate only outside of ozone season. The National Security Agency, Prince George’s County Correctional Facility, and the Naval Air Stat ion are examples of a few of the facilities having units subject to this standard.

Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08E, “Fuel Burning Equipment with a Rated Heat Input Capacity of 100 MMBtu/hr or Less,” requires combustion analysis and optimization of combustion each year. Equipment operators are required to maintain records for a pe riod of two years. Equipment operators are also required to undergo training ev ery three years under a pr ogram that is approved by U.S. EPA, the Department or the equipment vendor.

The combustion optimization method, software and t echnology can be cost effectively applied to boilers in the size category of 100 MMBtu/hr or less and genera te approximately 10-15% in NO x 

### emission reductions. These reductions can be main tained if the optimizat ion is conducted annually. Operator training also influences optimum operation of the boiler over the year and reduces the operating cost. Combustion analysis and optimi zation have the potential to further reduce emissions and operating costs at the same time.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The standard can be met with limited economic im pact. Optimization reduces the cost of operation over a year, as combustion efficiency and NO x 

### reductions are improved. The combustion analysis and optimization are required each year and woul d have to be conducted again to account for the wear of equipment such as burners, components of the combustion chamber, and air and fuel supply systems. The owner of a boiler in the si ze range of 100 MMBtu/hr or less would incur a yearly expense of approximately $500-1,500/ton depe nding on the complexity of its systems.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### standard under COMAR regulations 26.11.09.08E represents RACT for fuel burning equipment with an input capacity of 100 MMBtu/hr or less for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

This RACT is based on cost eff ective options and best practices. Since much of this equipment operates outside of the ozone season, extremely stri ngent limits and complicated controls would be very burdensome for this type of general sour ce and its budgetary limitations. This standard requires cost effective control optimization fo r smaller fuel burning equipment of 100 MMBtu/hr or less. Implementation of this RACT standard do es not require significant additional expense for the owners.

## RACT Analysis for Space Heaters

Introduction

A space heater is fuel burning equipment intended for heating an enclosed space and is permitted with other equipment at a point so urce. Natural gas or oil is primar ily used as fuel and at times propane may also be used in these units. Space h eaters are used as a direct heat source, unlike boilers that are an indire ct heat source. The heat may be needed for a warehouse area, or to heat the exterior of process equipment to assist in the primary function of the equipment.

Approximately 50 space heater units are registered with a facility under the major source category. Examples of facilities with space heaters includ e the Social Security Administration, National Security Agency, and Naval Air Station.

Current Control Technology

Under COMAR 26.11.09.01B(20), a space heater is defined as fuel-burning equipment that consumes more than 60 percent of its annual fuel during the period from October 31 of one year through March 31 of the following year. Annual fuel use is the total fuel consumed during the period October 1 of one year to Se ptember 30 of the following year.

Under COMAR 26.11.09.08F, “Requirements for Space Heaters,” space heater operators are required to:

1. Implement an operating and maintenance plan to minimize NO x 

### emissions, and 2. Attend operator training once every 3 years and maintain a record of the training attendance.

No emissions limits are set in this regulation; appli cation of best management practices is required.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

Space heaters are small un its, and retrofitting low NO x 

### technology would exceed the cost of the equipment. The prohibitive cost estimate fo llows the reasoning of th e EPA memorandum, “De Minimis Values for NO x 

### RACT” dated 1/1/1995, from G.T. He lms, Ozone Policy and Strategies Group.

Recommendation

The current COMAR regulations 26.11.09.08F represen ts RACT for this source category for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

Space heaters are small sources of NO x 

### emissions at major sources. Although it is often necessary and preferable to control emissions from all units at a major sour ce, space heaters are most often used during the time when temperat ures are low and therefore the NO x 

### emissions do not occur at times when ground level ozone is a problem in the State. However, NO x 

### emissions during the colder months may still contribute to regional fine particle pollution.

### 36 EPA guidance memoranda include the following: "NO x 

### Policy Document for the Clean Air Act of 1990" (EPA-452/R-96-005, March 1996), and EP A’s January 1, 1995 memorandum entitled, "De Minimis Values For NO x

## RACT Analysis for Fuel-Burning Equi pment with a Capacity Factor of 15 Percent or Less

Introduction

Some fuel-burning equipment in Maryland operates with a capacity factor of less than 15%. These units do not have capacity limits a nd may also operate at a higher cap acity level. Different RACT limits are applicable. The following units may qualify for this RACT limit.

### Current Control Technology

Under COMAR 26.11.09.08(G)(1), Requirements for Fu el Burning Equipment with a Capacity Factor of 15 Percent or Less, combus tion analysis and optimization for NO x 

### from fuel burning equipment operating greater than 500 hours during a calendar year are require d. Due to the short operational time period and low annual emissions , the RACT requirements are less stringent.

### 38 At capacity factors of 15% or le ss, combustion optimization method can be cost effectively applied to fuel burning equipment. An approximate 10 -15% in NO x 

### emission reductions can be expected. These reductions can be maintained if the optim ization is conducted a nnually. Operator training also influences optimum operati on of the fuel burning equipment over the year and reduces the operating cost.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

Optimization reduces cost of operation over a year, as combustion efficiency and NO x 

### reductions are improved. If the fuel burning equipment is ope rated over a year, the co mbustion analysis and optimization must be conducted again to account for the wear of equipment such as burners, components of the combustion chamber, and air a nd fuel supply systems. An operator would incur a yearly expense of approximately $500-1,500 de pending on the complexity of the systems.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### requirements under COMAR regulation 26.11.09.08G(1) represents RACT for fuel burning equipment with an input capacity of 15 percent or less for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

This standard requires cost effective control opt imization for smaller fuel burning equipment that have low capacity factors. At higher capacity fact ors standards become applicable. Implementation of this RACT standard does not require si gnificant additional expense for the owners.

### Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08(G)(2), Combustion Tu rbines with a Capacity Fact or Greater than 15 Percent, establishes limits for combustion turbines utilized at greater than 15% capacity. Gas fired turbines are required to meet a NO x 

### emission rate of 42 ppm, and oil fire d turbines are required to meet an emission rate of 65 ppm or meet applicable Prevention of Significant Deterioration limits found in the permit to construct. The RACT determination is based on analysis and information from affected sources and information in:

### Regulations for Stationary Sources, 2004.

Three NO x 

### control methods are in wide use on com bustion turbines. Water injection and low NO x 

### combustors prevent the formation of NO x 

### , while selective catalytic reduction controls NO x 

### post combustion.

Water/steam injection lowers peak flame temperatures by pr oviding an inert diluent that limits thermal NO x 

### formation. Water may be injected directly into the turbine combustor, or may be converted to steam using turbine exhaust waste heat, and then inje cted into the combustor. More steam than water must be used to achieve a comparable NO x 

### reduction. Use of steam results is more economical as it has lower energy penalty than use of water and can provide reductions with no energy penalty if the heat used to generate steam would have been wasted. Some turbines may experience operational problems due to water/steam if they are not designed to resist corrosion. Higher water to fuel ratios increase CO and HC emissions and reduce energy efficiency as well.

Dry low NO x 

### combustors include several different tec hnologies and options. One approach is to utilize lean pre-mixed combustion. This technology utilizes a larg e amount of excess air to the combustion chamber to lower peak flame temperat ures by dilution. Air and fuel are premixed in lean premixed combustors to avoid the creation of local fuel-rich high-temp erature zones. Retrofit of this technology requires modification of the turbine combustor. Turbin e combustors generally operate at a high temperature ra nge and produce relatively large NO x 

### emissions. Modified combustors produce reductions only at high turbine loads. Reduced fuel requirements at low loads and premixing would yield air fuel mixtures near th e lean flammability limit, with flame instability and high CO emissions.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the only technology that will control post combustion NO x 

### emissions. Turbines use a catalyst to control NO x 

### emissions. For turbines, SCR retrofits include a catalyst, and ammonia storage and distribution system and controls.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The economic impact of the implementation of RA CT standards has been estimated by EPA on a national level. For continuous operation of turbines , the cost figures are: 1. Water/steam injection less than $500/ton; 2. Combustor modifi cation, $600-1,000/ton; and 3. SCR, above $2,000- 2,500/ton. These cost estimates are based on ma nufacturer’s data, publications and the EPA documents listed above.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### standard under COMAR regulation 26.11.09.08G (2) represents RACT for combustion turbines with a capacity factor grea ter than 15 percent for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale This RACT is based on analysis of feasible controls for tu rbines based on EPA guidance documents listed above. The water injection method would appear to be the most cost-effective

### 41 control and some of the tu rbines are equipped with it. However, turbines cannot be retrofitted with water injection. Implementation of this RACT st andard does not require a significant capital and operating expense for the owners. A more stringent standard is currently under consideration by the Ozone Transport Commission for gas turbines.

## RACT Analysis for Hosp ital, Medical, and Infectio us Waste Incinerators (HMIWI)

Introduction

Incinerators that burn hospita l waste consisting of discards generated at a hospital, and medical/infectious waste generated in the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of human beings or animals, in research, or in the production or testing of biologicals are HMIWI. There are two HMIWI facilities in Maryland.

US Army Fort Detrick operates two larg e HMIWI units, each rated at 1,000 lbs/hr.

Curtis Bay Energy (formerly Phoenix Services) ope rates two large commercial HMIWI units with a permitted total combined capacity of 150 tons per day.

Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08H(4) applies to HMIWI. The current NO x 

### standard for large HMIWI is 250 ppm by volume. The 250 ppm Maryland standard is based on the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) determination for NO x 

### in emission guidelines for HMIWI, 40 CFR 60 Subpart Ce, as revised, September 15, 1997. This standard can be achieved by good combustion.

HMIWI control technology consists of multiple combustion chambers, acid gas control, and particulate matter systems. Based on required test s, affected sources have met the standard.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The economic impact of the implementation of MA CT standards has been estimated by EPA on a national level. Annual cost of c ontrol can be recovere d by hospitals with a price increase of 0.03 percent. The average price increase for commercial incinerators is expected to be approximately 2.6 percent.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### standard under COMAR regulations 26.11.09.08H (4) represents RACT for this source category for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

This RACT is also the current MA CT standard of 250 ppm by volume. MACT standards are based on controls for the best performing units. Since th e MACT is federally required, cost is not an issue. This is the maximum achievable control standard in 2007.

## RACT Analysis for Munici pal Waste Combustors (MWC)

Introduction

Maryland municipal waste combustors (MWCs) ar e in two size categories. A large MWC is an existing municipal waste combustor for which c onstruction began on or before September 20, 1994 and that has a capacity to burn 250 tons per day of municipal waste as defined under 40 CFR 60.32b. Maryland has two large MWCs: Montgomery County Resource Recovery Facility and Wheelabrator Baltimore, L.P.

An MWC with a capacity range of 35 tons or more per day and less than 250 tons per day is also subject to standards and requirements. Two faciliti es are subject to these requirements: Harford County Resource Recovery Facility and U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Detrick Area A.

Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.09.08H(3), “Control of NO x 

### Emissions for Major Stationary Sources” references controls required under the 111(d) Plan: COMA R 26.11.08.08. Municipal waste combustors with a burning capacity of 35 tons or more per day and le ss than or equal to 250 tons per day, and that were constructed on or before August 30, 1999 ar e subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 62 Subpart JJJ. COMAR 26.11.08.08 applies to existing la rge MWCs with a capacity greater than 250 tons per day. The current NO x 

### standard for large MWC is 205 ppmv 24-hr arithmetic average. The 205 ppm Maryland standard is based on the ma ximum achievable cont rol technology (MACT) determination for NO x 

### in emission guidelines for MWC, 40 CFR 60 Subpart Cb, as revised, May 10, 2006. This standard can be achieved by combustion control and optimization.

MWC control technology consists of combustion c ontrol, acid gas control, and particulate matter systems. Based on required tests, affect ed sources have met the standard.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The economic impact of the implementation of MA CT standards has been estimated by EPA on a national level. The standard can be met with ex isting controls, and no additional cost or economic impact is expected.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### standards under COMAR 26.11.09.08H(3) repres ent RACT for large MWCs for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS. RACT for small MWCs are under 40 CFR 62 Subpart JJJ.

Rationale

This RACT is based on the curr ent MACT standard. MACT standa rds are developed based on the controls for the best performing units, therefore th is is the maximum achievable control standard in 2007. Since the MACT is federally required, this cont rol also represents a cost-effective approach.

## RACT Analysis for Glass Melting Furnaces

Introduction

There currently is one glass melting furnace in Maryland and it is owned and operated by the PQ Corporation. The PQ Corporation facility, in Baltimore, manufactures liquid si licate glass, using raw materials of sand (SiO 2 

### ) and soda ash (Na 2 

### CO 3 

### ). The raw materials are fed into a furnace fueled by natural gas. The molten glass is poured into a rotary dissolver where it is dissolved in water. PQ averages about 460 pounds of NO x 

### per day during normal operation.

Historical Emissions

In 2002, the PQ Corporation's NO x 

### emissions were 133 tons per ye ar. In 2004, due to installation of low NO x 

### burners, the emissions were reduced to 67 t ons per year and have continued to decline as shown in Table 3.

### Current Control Technology

Under the 1-hour ozone standard, Maryland established NO x 

### RACT requirements under COMAR 26.11.09.08I(1)&(2) for glass melting furnaces. NO x 

### RACT for this source category requires control of the excess oxygen level in the glass furnace at 4.5% or less. The source must keep the furnace properly maintained to assure compliance with all applicable regulations.

The PQ Corporation installed low NO x 

### burners in 2004 because the pr evious burners were in poor condition (1950s vintage) and parts were no longer available to maintain or repair them. The low NO x 

### burners provide the company with increased fuel combustion efficiency and lower NO x

### 45 emissions. At that time, the Department establ ished additional requirements for the facility including a NO x 

### rate and a permitted maximum a nnual silicate production limit.

Emission Rate

The current NO x 

### emission rate is 4.5 lbs NO x 

### per ton of glass produced, which is the average of three stack tests results conducted November 18, 2004, after the low-NO x 

### burners were installed. The emission rate prior to 2004 was 8.8 lbs NO x 

### per ton glass. See Table 3, above.

Production Limit

On March 5, 2008 PQ requested a modification to th eir Permit to Construct (PTC) that was issued on June 3, 2004. This permit authorized the installation of the low NO x 

### burners for reasons discussed earlier, and set annual silicate produ ction limit at 44,000 tons per year based on an assumed NO x 

### emissions factor of 7.48 lbs/ton of glass produced. Subsequent to the installation of the low NO x 

### burners, PQ conducted the November 18, 2004 emissions testing of the low NO x 

### burners.

Calculated NO x 

### emissions factors were 3.67, 4.07 and 5.73 lbs per ton of glass produced for the three stack test runs. For the purpose of determin ing annual production rate that would not trigger New Source Review requirements, the highest of the three emissions factors was used as worstcase scenario. Thus using a NO x 

### emissions factor of 5.73, a rate of 54,000 tons per year was determined. The 2004 PTC was amended on October 20, 2008 to reflect the new production limitation of 54,000 tons of silicate. The new production limit will not result in increased emissions.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

EPA’s Alternative Control Techniques Document (NO x 

### Emissions from Glass Manufacturing, June, 1994, page 2-5) iden tified three types of NO x 

### control technologies available:

• Combustion modifications (using low NO x 

### burners or oxy-firing);

• Process modifications (using cullet preheat or electric boost); and

• Post-combustion modifications (using selectiv e catalytic reduction (SCR) or selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR))

Low NO x 

### burners

PQ Corporation-Baltimore installed low NO x 

### burners (in 2004) and reduced its NO x 

### emission from a high of 147 tons per year in 2003 to 67 tons per year in 2004.

Oxy-firing technology

EPA’s 1994 ACT document estimated an 85 percent reduction in NO x 

### emissions for oxy-firing with a cost-effectiveness of $4,400 to $5,300 for plants of this size (U.S. EP A, Alternative Control Techniques Document – NO x 

### Emissions from Glass Manufacturing, June, 1994, Table 6-4, page 6- 4).

### 46 According to a 2007 Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) Technical Support Document, a recent study by the European Commission (EC 2001b) re ports a 75 to 85 percent reduction in NO x 

### based on oxy-firing 1 

### technology, resulting in emissi on rates of 1.25 to 4.1 pounds of NO x 

### per ton of glass produced (Ozone Transport Commission, "Identif ication and Evaluation of Candidate Control Measures," Final Technical S upport Document, prepared by MAC TEC, February 28, 2007, page 4- 11). The cost effectiveness 2 

### was determined to be $1,254 to $2,542 depending on the size of the furnace.

Selective non-catalyt ic reduction (SNCR)

SNCR would not be an option as a control measure since it requi res temperatures in the 1600-2100 degree Fahrenheit range and flue gases at the PQ Corporation glass melting furnace in Baltimore are in the 500-600 degree Fahrenheit range. Also, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find an injection point in this temperature range which would not interfere with the composition of the final product.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR)

SCR would not be an option as a control measure for the same reason as SNCR. It requires a very different temperature range than what exists at PQ's Baltimore facili ty. Without the proper temperature, the facility would need to reheat the flue gas before treatment. This would not be cost effective given the minimal NO x 

### reductions possibly gained.

Other Technologies

Other technologies, which may be used to m eet the limits recommended by the OTC member states, are shown in Table 4 below (Ozone Tran sport Commission, "Identific ation and Evaluation of Candidate Control Measures," Final Tec hnical Support Document, prepared by MACTEC, February 28, 2007, Table 4.3, page 4-10). The cost s associated with meeting those limits are source-specific and depend on the ex isting controls in place and the emission rates being achieved. Site-specific factors greatly influence the actual ac hievable performance level and control costs at a particular facility. Unfortunately, OTC’s reco mmendations shown in Ta ble 2 do not include the silicate glass produced by PQ Cor poration's Baltimore facility.

### 47 Recommendation

The current COMAR regulation COMAR 26.11.09.08I(1 )&(2) in conjunction with the current permit to construct limits represents RACT for this source category for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

NO x 

### RACT for this source category requires control of the excess oxygen level in the glass furnace at 4.5% or less. The source must keep the low NO x 

### burners and furnace properly maintained to assure compliance with all app licable regulations. The production limit for the source is 54,000 tons of silicate.

Rationale

PQ's emissions are currently controlled with low-NO x 

### burners and controlling excess air. There is also a production limit. Together these limits ha ve reduced the plant’s emissions by 40%. SNCR and SCR are not feasible as RACT controls for th e reasons stated above. EPA previously approved the oxygen limit as RACT for this source categor y for the 1-hour ozone on February 8, 2001. EPA's NSPS for Glass Plants (40 CFR 50, subpart CC) and NESHAP for ar ea source Glass Plants (40 CFR 63, subpart SSSSSS) do not specify any NO x 

### control requirements. Research has not identified any other cost effective controls for this category.

## RACT Analysis for Industrial Furnaces and Other Miscellaneous Installations that Cause Emissions of NO x



### Introduction

Some sources have specialized equipment that pr oduces heat, such as dryers, but are not fuel burning equipment under the definition of fuel burning equipment from COMAR 26.11.01.01 b(17). Point sources with this type of equipm ent include Mittiki Coal and RG Steel (formerly International Steel Group). The Social Security Administration also has emergency generators subject to this standard.

COMAR 26.11.09.08J “Requirements for Industr ial Furnaces and Other Miscellaneous Installations that Ca use Emissions of NO x 

### ” requires that where possible the equipment be run on natural gas during ozone season, and it also requ ires good operating practices and operator training. Equipment operators are requi red to maintain records fo r a period of two years.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The standard can be met with limited economic im pact based on the price differential between gas and the normal operating fuel.

Recommendation

The NO x 

### standard under COMAR regulation 26.11.09.08J represents RACT for furnaces and miscellaneous equipment for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

This RACT is based on cost effective options and best practices a nd provides reduced NO x 

### emissions during ozone season.

## RACT Analysis fo r Kraft Pulp Mills

Introduction

Kraft pulp mills produce paper pulp from wood by digesting the wood in a heated solution of sodium sulfide and sodium hydroxide (white liquor). Annual production is approximately 50 million tons of kraft pulp at close to 200 mills located in the United States. There are three significant sources of NO x 

### at kraft pulp mills – fossil-fuel fired and wood fired industrial boilers, recovery boilers, and lime kilns.

Currently, there is one kraft pulp mill located in Maryland: New Page Corporation located in Luke, MD. It operates three boile rs - two large coal fired units and one gas fired unit that operates on an infrequent basis.

Current Control Technology

New Page Corporation Luke Mill has two RACT standards. Prior to 1999 and implementation of the NO x 

### SIP Call, fuel burning equipment at the mill was subject to an annual and ozone season NO x 

### emission rate under COMAR 26.11.09.08C(2)(h). After 1999, the mill was a non-trading source subject to ozone s eason controls under the NO x 

### SIP Call. 3



### COMAR 26.11.14.07, “Control of NO x 

### Emissions from Kraft Pulp Mills,” applies to paper and pulp mills and establishes a NO x 

### emission limitation for fuel bur ning equipment located at pulp mills. The regulation requires all fuel burning equipment at any kraft pulp mill to meet a total NO x 

### emissions limit of 947 tons during the ozone season, May 1 to September 30 of each year. This limit may be exceeded by 95 tons of NO x 

### if NO x 

### allowances equal to the excess are purchased and surrendered to the Department. Th e regulation also establishes an emission rate of 0.99 pounds per Million Btu for the rest of the year based on the 30 day rolling average.

These standards can be achieved through the use of low excess air and air staging or selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR). The use of low excess air and air staging has resulted in a reduction of NO x 

### emissions between 10 – 20 percent, while the use of SNCR can result in an emission reduction of NO x 

### of over 60 percent in some cases.

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

Based on the implementation and us e of SNCR on boiler units in addition to other combustion controls in kraft pulp mills, SNCR cost effectiveness is estimated at $1,000 to $1,500 per ton of NO x 

### removed.

Recommendation

The current version of COMAR 26.11.14.07 represents NO x 

### RACT for this source category for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

3 Control requirements for this source were established under COMAR 26.11.29 as part of the NOx SIP Call. Equivalent requirements were added to COMAR 26.11.14 .07 when MD repealed the NOx SIP Call so that all requirements for kraft pulp mills ar e now contained in COMAR 26.11.14.

### 50 Rationale

This RACT is based on federal standards for NO x 

### emissions from boilers at pulp and paper facilities (Alternative Cont rol Techniques document: NO x 

### Emissions from Industrial/Commercial/Institutio nal (ICI) Boilers, EPA-453/R-94-022, March 1994). There are no Federal NSPS or MACT standards for NO x 

### emissions from other emissions sources at kraft pulp mills.

As an initial emission reduction step, New Pa ge Corporation installed improved combustion controls before RACT was required. The company late r installed SNCR control systems at a cost of $2,000,000 which reduced emissions by approximately 47 percent.

Based upon this information, the current limits and standards are achievable and economically feasible and thus constitute RACT for this category.

## RACT Analysis for Portland Cement Manufacturing Plants

Introduction

Portland cement manufacturing is an energy intensive process in which cement is made by grinding and heating a mixture of raw materials such as li mestone, clay, sand, and iron ore in a rotary kiln. Nationwide, about 82 percent of the industry's energy requirements are provided by coal. Wastederived fuels (such as scrap tires, used motor oils, surplus printing inks, etc.) provide about 14 percent of the energy. NO x 

### emissions are generated during fu el combination by oxidation of chemically-bound nitrogen in the fuel and by thermal fixation of nitrogen in the combustion air.

There are four main types of kilns used to manufacture Portland cement: long wet kilns, long dry kilns, pre-heater kilns, and pr e-calciner kilns. Currently, th ere are two cement-manufacturing facilities located in Maryland: Holcim (US) Inc. located in Hagerstown, MD which operates a long dry kiln with average annual NO x 

### emissions of 1,403 tons/yr and Le high Cement located in Union Bridge, MD which operates a rota ry kiln with a pre-heater sy stem with average annual NO x 

### emissions of 3,961 tons/yr.

Current Control Technology

RACT requirements for cement kilns for th e 1-hour ozone sta ndard are in COMAR 26.11.09.08H(1)&(2). Maryland revised RACT fo r the 8-hour ozone standard. COMAR 26.11.29.03, 4 

### “Emission Reduction Requirements for Po rtland Cement Manufacturing Plants” applies to Portland cement manufacturing facilities and limits NO x 

### emissions from these sources by requiring cement kilns to install low NO x 

### burners or mid-kiln firing. After April 1, 2011, the following emission standards apply: for long, dr y kilns, maximum emissions of 5.1 pounds of NO x 

### per ton of clinker and for pre-heater, pre-calc iner kilns, maximum emissions of 2.8 pounds of NO x 

### per ton of clinker.

There are a variety of control t echnologies available to Portland cement manufacturing facilities to reduce NO x 

### emissions. These control options are summar ized in Table 5, below, which is based on information in the following document:

Midwest Regional Planning Organization (RPO ’s) “Interim White Paper: Midwest RPO Candidate Control Measures, Source Category: Cement Kilns,” 3/6/2006, accessed from http://www.ladco.org/reports/control/w hite_papers/portland_cement_plants.pdf, July 20, 2011

4 Control requirements for this source were established under COMAR 26.11.29 as part of the NOx SIP Call. The NOx SIP Call was repealed and equivalent requirements are maintained in that chapter along with additional, more stringent requirements. These requirements will be consolidated with all other cement plant requirements and relocated to COMAR 26.11.30.

### 52 Table 5. NO x 

### Control Technologies for Cement Kilns Technology Description Applicability Performance Installed Costs Cost ($/ton) Feed Composition Modification Changing the feed mix composition can decrease NO
xemissions. The use of aircooled slag and the CemStar used by several cement manufacturing facilities in the US are examples. Long Wet – Yes Long Dry – Yes Preheater –Yes Precalciner - Yes Can result in NO x emission reductions ranging from 23 – 40%. Ranges from $25,000 to $250,000 depending on kiln type and size. $550/ton

Low-NO
x Burners Low-NO
x burners are designed to reduce flame turbulence, delay fuel/air mixing, and establish fuel-rich zones for initial combustion. The longer, less intense flames resulting from the staged combustion lower flame temperatures and reduce thermal NO
x formations. Long Wet – Yes Long Dry – Yes Preheater –Yes Precalciner - Yes Can result in NO x emission reductions ranging from 4 – 47%. Ranges from $330,000 (small kiln) to $410,000 (large kiln). $300 to $1,200/ton

Mid-kiln Firing A portion of the fuel (including tires) is burned at a lower temperature in a secondary firing zone to complete the preheating and calcination of raw materials. Long Wet – Yes Long Dry – Yes Preheater –No Precalciner - No Can result in NO x emission reductions ranging from 28 – 59% for long wet kilns, emission reductions ranging from 11 – 55% for long dry kilns. Ranges from $197,000 to $270,000. -$460 to $730/ton

Selective NonCatalytic Reduction Injects ammonia-based reagent into upper furnace to reduce NO to elemental nitrogen (N 2 ). Long Wet – No Long Dry – Yes Preheater – Yes Precalciner - Yes Can result in NO x emission reductions ranging from 10– 50%. Ranges from $1.3 to $2.5 million depending on kiln type, size, and reagent used. -$310 to $2,500/ton

Selective Catalytic Reduction SCR reduces NO and NO 2 to N 2 with the help of NH 3 and a catalyst. Although no SCR systems are currently being used on U.S. cement plants, this control technique has been applied successfully in other industries and pilot plant trials have been conducted in Europe. Long Wet – Unknown Long Dry – Yes Preheater –Yes Precalciner - Unknown Can result in NO x emission reductions ranging from 70 – 90+%. Ranges from $9.9 to $250 million depending on kiln type, size, and reagent used. $1,500 to $2,000/ton



### Some of the control technologies lis ted in Table 5 can be combined with others. In some instances the combination of two or more control technolog ies has resulted in a sign ificant reduction in NO x 

### emissions from cement kilns. In one case study, the combination of mid-kiln firing and low NO x 

### burners resulted in NO x 

### emission reductions of close to 50%.

### 53 Cost Effectiveness Estimates

Please see Table 5, above, for a summary of the cost effectiveness of various control technologies available to Portland cement manufacturing facilities.

Recommendation

The current version of COMAR 26.11.29.03 represents RACT for this source category for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

In 1998, the U.S. EPA finalized the NO x 

### SIP call to address the interstate transport of air pollution. The rule required states to submit revisions to their SIP to limit NO x 

### emissions from major stationary sources such as cement ki lns. Based on an analysis of the NO x 

### SIP call, states adopted regulations providing oper ators of Portland cement kilns with several options for complying with the emission limits, including the use of low-NO x 

### burners, or mid-kiln firing that achieves a 30 percent reduction in NO x 

### emissions during the ozone seas on. Likewise, Maryland provided Portland cement kilns with two options for reducing NO x 

### emissions. As in other states, one option allowed cement manufacturing plants to install low NO x 

### burners on each kiln or modify each kiln to implement mid-kiln firing. The other option re quired cement manufacturing facilities to meet certain NO x 

### emission limits depending on kiln type: for long wet kilns, the limit is 6.0 pounds NO x 

### per ton of clinker produced; for l ong dry kilns, the limit is 5.1 pounds NO x 

### per ton of clinker produced; and for pre-heater/pre-calciner or pre-calciner kilns, the limit is 2.8 pounds NO x 

### per ton of clinker produced. One Maryland source adop ted mid-kiln firing and installed a low NO x 

### burner; the other source rebuilt from a long wet kiln to the more efficient pre-heater, pre-calciner kiln.

Maryland determined that as part of the stra tegy to achieve the 0.08 ppm ozone standard, cement kilns could achieve greater reductions in NO x 

### . Maryland now requires cement kilns to meet specific NO x 

### rate limits by kiln type. The limits were recommended as feasible in 2000. No specific technologies are required as long as the rate is met. Since the U.S. EPA has not identified more stringent technologies or other implementation met hods to establish greater NO x 

### emission reduction percentages for cement kilns since issui ng the update to Alterna tive Control Techniques for NO x 

### emissions from cement manufacturing in 2000, the requirements of COMAR 26.11.29.03 represent RACT for this source category.

## RACT Analysis for Stationary Inte rnal Combustion Engines at Natural Gas Compression Stations

Introduction

Stationary internal combustion engines are the st ationary relatives of mo tor vehicle engines and include engine types such as spark ignition, co mpression ignition, rich-bur n and lean-burn. There are several million of these engines in use throughout the United States, and they have applications in industry, agriculture, municipal water supply and wastewater tr eatment, institutional emergency power generation, and oil and gas production and transmission. In the oil and gas industry, there are an estimated 6,000 large engines (350 hp and great er) that are used primarily in gas pipeline compression stations.

Currently, there are two facilities , located in Maryland, which use internal combustion engines for the purpose of compressing natural gas. Texas East ern Transmission, L.P. (Texas Eastern), which transports natural gas via underground pipelines from the Gulf Coast region of the United States to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, ow ns and operates a natura l gas compressor station (Accident Compressor Station) located in Acci dent, Garrett County, Maryland. This station has two internal combustion engines. NO x 

### emissions from this facility are now less than 25 tons per
year.

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC (Tra nsco) owns and operates an interstate natural gas pipeline system which extends from production fiel ds in the Gulf Coast region to market areas in the northeastern United States. Transco ope rates a natural gas compressor station (Compressor Station 190) in Ellicott City, Howard County, Maryland with five internal combustion engines. NO x 

### emissions from this facility average over 1,000 tons per year.

Current Control Technology

COMAR 26.11.29.05B&C, “Emission Reduction Requirement s for Stationary Internal Combustion Engine at Natural Gas Pipeline Compression Stations ,” applies to internal combustion engines used to compress natural gas located at natural gas pipeline compression stations.

Available NO x 

### control strategies for stationary internal combustion engines range from combustion modifications, which include air-to-fuel adjustme nts, ignition timing retard, and prestratified charge technology, to low-emission combusti on and non-selective catal ytic reduction.

COMAR 26.11.09.08I(3)&(4),“Requirements for Glass Melting Furnaces and Internal Combustion Engines at Natural Gas Pipeline Stations,” established RACT requirements for internal compression engines at natural gas pipeline stations with a capacity factor over 15 percent. It required these facilities to implement maximum hourly NO x 

### emission limits based on the number of engines at the facility. Facil ities with five or fewer engine s must meet a combined maximum hourly emission rate of 300 pounds per hour, while f acilities with more than five engines must meet a combined maximum hourly emissions rate of 566 pounds per hour.

### 55 In 1999, these engines became subject to the NO x 

### SIP Call 5 

### if their emissions exceeded one or more tons per day in 1995 or 1996. COMAR 26.11.29.05B &C is now applicable to these sources. These engines must meet the following standards based on engine type or achieve a 90% reduction from 1995 emissions:

Engine Type Size (Brake HP) Standard (15% oxygen)

Spark Ignition rich burn 2400 HP or greater 110 ppmv Spark Ignition lean burn 2400 HP or greater 125 ppmv Diesel 3100 HP or greater 175 ppmv Dual fuel 4400 HP or greater 125 ppmv

Cost Effectiveness Estimates

The U.S. EPA’s Alternative Cont rol Techniques for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, published in 1993, desc ribes the costs of various NO x 

### controls applicable to stationary internal combustion engines. The cost effectiven ess of each control varies from a few hundred to several thousands dollars per ton of NO x 

### removed depending on the type, size, and operating hours of the engine. The cost information in the ACT document is reported in 1 993 dollars. The Marshall and Swift Installed Equipment Cost Indices for the years 1993 (964) and 2011 (1569) was used to arrive at current dollar values.

Based on the ACT, there are a number of control op tions available which achieve the control levels proposed in this rulemaking. The cost eff ectiveness ranges from $265 to $9,702/ton of NO x 

### removed, based on the total annual cost divided by total annual NO x 

### reductions.

Recommendation

The current requirements in COMAR 26.11.29.05 represen ts RACT for this source category for the 0.08 ppm O 3 

### NAAQS.

Rationale

B oth Transco and Texas Eastern were affected by the NO x 

### SIP Call requirements. Transco modified its engines to meet the requirements of this regulation while Texas Eastern installed NO x 

### controls (high pressure fuel inj ection) on both engines – one subject to the regulation and one not at approximately the same time in 2002. Only the a ffected engine is requ ired to meet the NO x 

### emission standard.

B ased upon this information, the current limits and standards are achievable and economically feasible and thus constitute RACT for this category.

5 On May 31, 2010 the NOx SIP Call requirements for internal combustion engines located at natural gas pipeline compression stations were moved from COMAR 26.11.29.15 and re-codified under a new regulation – COMAR 26.11.29.05 ( NOx Emissions from Natural Gas Pipeline Compression Stations ).

# 3. Adoption of Revised and/or New RACT Requirements

3.1. Adoption of Revised and/ or New VOC RACT Requirements As indicated in Table 1 above, many of Maryland’s VOC RACT controls (i.e., sections in COMAR 26.11.13 and 26.11.19, “Volatile Organic Compounds from Specific Processes”) were implemented in the 1990s to meet relevant requ irements specified in the CAA and EPA guidance documents. Several sections of COMAR 26.11.19 have been revised to incor porate new or recently revised CTGs.

The revised regulations incorporating recen t CTGs in COMAR 26.11.19 include the following:

.06 Large Appliance Coating .07 Paper Film and Foil Coating .07-2 Plastic Parts and Business Machines Coating .09-1 Industrial Solvent Cleaning .10 Flexographic and Rotogravure Printing .10-1 Flexible Packaging Printing .13 Drum and Pail Coating .33 Flat Wood Paneling



## 3.2. Revised and/or New NO x 

## RACT Requirements As indicated in Table 2 above, some of Maryland’s NO x 

### RACT controls were implemented in the 1990s to meet relevant requirements speci fied in the CAA and EPA’s regional NO x 

### control programs. The repeal of the NO x 

### SIP Call required several sections of COMAR to be revised to maintain the requirements of the SIP Ca ll. COMAR 26.11.14 and 26.11.29 were revised to incorporate NO x 

### SIP Call requirements for both tradi ng and non-trading sources. Electric generating sources are subject to new state and regional NO x 

### control programs which may be more stringent than RACT.

Maryland certifies that CO MAR 26.11.09.08, along with the NO x 

### requirements in COMAR 26.11.14 and 26.11.29, appropriately implement NO x 

### RACT controls in Ma ryland under the 0.08 ppm 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Maryland has develope d or is currently developing beyond-RACT provisions to aid in attainment and maintenan ce of the 8-hour NAAQS. Wh ile not the subject of this RACT submittal, these beyond-RACT controls include:

• COMAR 26.11.27 “Emission Limitations for Powe r Plants.” This regulation imposes beyondRACT NO x 

### controls on large coal fired EGUs thr ough stringent annual and ozone season caps.

• COMAR 26.11.09.08-1 “Additional NO
x 

### Requirements.” This regulation imposes beyond-RACT NO x 

### controls on stationary generators used at times other than times of emergency.

• Peaking Turbine Regulation. This regulation is u nder development, and is anticipated to impose beyond-RACT NO
x 

### controls on peaking units, in order to address the high peak ozone day emissions from these units.



### • Internal Combustion Engines at Natural Gas Co mpression Stations. This regulation is under development, and is anticipated to impose beyond RACT NO

# 5. MDE Internal Consultation Process and EPA’s RACT/ BACT Clearinghouse

Maryland has over 600 high impact facilities that have been permitted by MDE’s Air and Radiation Management (ARMA) Permits Program. On an annual basis the MDE Air and Radiation Management Compliance Program performs approxi mately 2,000 inspections and audits. With the expertise of over 18,000 issued permits, a cons ultation process with ARMA’s Permits and Compliance Programs was conducted during the de velopment of this SIP, for information regarding the potential for RACT enhancement. There were no potential RACT enhancements identified during this consultation process. A copy of the survey us ed for this consultation process is included in Appendix B of this report.

As part of its comprehensive review process to as sure that all relevant RACT standards have been addressed and met, MDE reviewed EPA’s RACT/BACT Clearinghouse database. Through its review, MDE did not observe any discrepancie s between the database and the information generated from within the department. Maryland chose several of its largest emission source

### 58 categories and provided in Appe ndix A of this report, copies of the RACT/BACT Clearinghouse Data sheets for review.

# Appendix B: Copy of MDE RACT Questionnaire

RACT SIP REVIEW for 8-HOUR OZONE STANDARD

A RACT analysis needs to be conducted for the 8 hour ozone standard on all CTG and all major non-CTG sources. Current information that has beco me available through t echnical/public review process is to be includ ed in the analysis. The informati on requested here is to make the determination if changes to exis ting RACT requirements are feasible . The objective is to identify the categories of sources for which some of the information may already exist in compliance and permit programs. Based on the information, a dem onstration can be made on the economical and technical feasibility of controls.

1. List the categories and subcategories of sources for which compliance or permitting work is carried out by you. (Example: types of cemen t plants, types of asphalt plants, gasoline terminals.)

2. List the categories for which there is a pot ential for improving RACT requirements based on your involvement with sources in the State. (Example: case scenarios that have wider possibilities than original purpose.)

3. For the categories in (1), are there changes in work or opera tional practices that currently allow sources to improve upon the control of emissions beyond existing requirement? (Example: material substitution at lower cost.)

For 4-6 below, please respond if this information is readily available. 4. Have there been instances with similar opera tions in other states that have required controls more restrictiv e than Maryland's?

5. Is there an analysis being conducted for the e nhancement of controls for the categories in (1)? (Example: company or industry need or interest in feasibility of application.)

6. Have there been contacts with EPA or i ndustry specialists on cost s and feasibility of controls?

## Maryland Air Quality Plan Released for Public Comment

Baltimore, MD (August 24, 2011)
–
Ensuring that air emissions within Maryland’s borders are as low as possible continues to be a goal of the Maryland Department of th e Environment (MDE). While the airborne transport of pollution into Maryland is the primary cause of Mary land’s air pollution problems, ozone and fine particle pollu tion is exacerbated by local sources.

The MDE continues to make efforts to en sure that in-state emission sources are controlled in a manner that is both aggressive and equitable. One of the requirements of the Clean Air Act is that MDE periodically review our statio nary sources to ensure that they are meeting the requirem ents of Reasonably Availabl e Control Technology (RACT). RACT requires states with air quality pr oblems to show that they are enforcing reasonable standards on their st ationary sources.

The MDE is releasing the latest vers ion of our RACT analysis titled the State of Maryland 8-Hour Ozone Reasonably Available Control Technology State Implementation Plan, 2011 Revision to SIP Number 06-07.

The document is available for public comment through September 27, 2011, and interested persons can offer comments in writ ing, through the mail or e-mail, or in person at the public hearing.

Public Hearing will be held on Sept ember 27, 2011 at the Department of the Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21230 – First Floor Conference Room – 10:30 AM

For a copy of the draft document and furt her information please see the Maryland Department of the Environment Air Qu ality Planning Program Web page at http://www.mde.state.md.us/programs/Air/Ai rQualityPlanning/Pages/programs/airprogra ms/air_planning/index.aspx and the Department’s hearing notices at http://www.mde.state.md.us/aboutmde/About MDEHome/Pages/aboutmde/reqcomments.

## Statement of the Air and Radiation Management Administration Maryland Department of the Environment For the Public Hearing Concerning State of Maryland 8-Hour Ozone Reasonably Available Control Technology State Implementation Plan, 2011 Revision Held on September 27, 2011

Good Morning. My name is Molla Sarros. I am a Natural Resources Planner in the Planning and Policy Division, Air Quality Planning Program of the Air & Radiation Management Administration, Maryland Department of the Environment.

This public hearing is related to the proposed revised air quality plan titled State of Maryland 8-Hour Ozone Reasonably Available Control Technology State Implementation Plan, 2011 Revision to SIP Number 06-07

.
This public hearing is being held pursuant to fede ral law found at 42 U.S.C. § 7410(a) and 40 CFR Parts 51.102.

• Notice of this public hearing has appeared on the home page, calendar, and public meetings pages of the Maryland Department of the Environment Web site since August 25, 2011.

Notice of this public hearing also appeared in the Maryland Register on September 9, 2011.

Copies of each of the public hearing notices and the Proposed State of Maryland 8-Hour Ozone Reasonably Available Control Technology Stat e Implementation Plan, 2011 Revision to SIP Number 06-07, will be part of the formal hearing record.

Access to the proposed document was made available via the Web site of the Maryland Department of the Environment. Hard copies were made available upon request at the Maryland Department of the Environment. Electronic copies were also made available via email if requested.

The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with an opportunity to formally comment on the proposed document.



## Summary of Proposed Reasonably Available Control Technology State Implementation Plan

This document is a revised and updated copy of the Reasonably Available Control Technology State Implementation Plan, or “RACT SIP,” that Maryland submitted, in 2006, for the entire state. The purpose of this modification to the 2006 RACT SIP is to add further detail to the analyses of the existing Maryland regulations for control of nitrogen oxides (NO x 

### ) from stationary sources.

In April 2004, EPA designated 126 areas of the country as “nonattainment” under the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Maryland has three moderate nonattainment areas: the Baltimore Nonattainment Area; the Washington D.C. Nonattainment Area; and the Philadelphia

### 2 Nonattainment Area, which includes Cecil County, Maryland. Kent and Queen Anne’s Counties, Maryland, were classified as a marginal nonattainment area and have since been redesignated as attainment. Washington County, Maryland was classified as a basic nonattainment area as part of the Early Action Compact program and since has been redesignated as attainment. All other remaining Maryland Counties are part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR).

Under the Clean Air Act, EPA requires moderate and worse nonattainment areas and all areas that are part of an ozone transport region to implement RACT controls on major stationary sources. The EPA defines RACT as “the lowest emission limitation that a partic ular source is capable of meeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably available considering technological and economic feasibility” (44 FR 53761 and 53762, September 17, 1979). The Clean Air Act requires RACT controls for major stationary sources of both NO x 

### and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), the precursors to ozone. Maryland is required to implement RACT throughout the state. Maryland certifies through this SIP that it meets the Clean Air Act RACT requirements for Maryland major sources of NO x 

### and VOCs for the 8-hour ozone standard.



## Consideration of Comments

The Department will consider all pertinent comments, and revise the proposed plan if necessary, before making a final decision to adopt the plan and submit it to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval as a Maryland State Implementation Plan Revision. Written comments may be presented at this hearing or by the close of business today. The 30-day public comment period that began on August 25, 2011 for receipt of all comments to the plan will close at the end of business today, September 27, 2011.**1 MARYLAND**  **DEPAR TMENT**  **OF THE**  **ENVIRONME NT**
