MARYLAND CLEAN AIR ACT SECTION 110(a)(2) 

 

Marti

Go

Anthony G. Brown 

Lieutenant Governor 

Background 

A State Implementation Plan (SIP) is a plan for each state that identifies how that state will attain 

and maintain the primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). 

The SIP contains regulations, source-specific requirements, non-regulatory items such as plans 

and inventories, and other types of submittals designed to satisfy requirements promulgated by 

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The initial SIPs for states were approved on 

May 31, 1972. SIPs may be revised by the state with EPA approval. The federally enforceable 

SIP for the State of Maryland is compiled under 40 CFR Part 52 Subpart V. 

Section 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act requires that each SIP provide for the 

implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS. This section also requires that 

within three years of the promulgation of a NAAQS, a state must adopt and submit such a plan to 

EPA. These “infrastructure SIPs” provide assurances of state resources and authorities, and 

where necessary establish the basic state programs, to implement, maintain, and enforce new or 

revised standards. This document summarizes where the §110(a)(2)(J) “Public Notification” and 

§110(a)(2)(M) requirements for the 2008 revised lead NAAQS are addressed in Maryland’s 

current SIP or pending SIP revisions. 

Note that this document is an addendum to Maryland’s Lead (Pb) Infrastructure SIP, SIP 

Number 12-09, dated December 12, 2012, submitted to EPA on January 3, 2013. 

This certification addresses Maryland's obligations under §§110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act for 

the following National Ambient Air Quality Standards: 

Lead: A revised NAAQS for lead was promulgated by EPA on October 15, 2008. This 

rule establishes a primary ambient air quality standard of 0.15 μg/m3 on a rolling threemonth average basis and a secondary standard equal to the primary standard.

Maryland’s Plan Elements

The following sections indicate the statutes, regulations, plans and other elements used in 

the Maryland State Implementation Plan to meet the required elements of §110(a)(2)(J) 

regarding Public Notification and all of §110(a)(2)(M) of the Clean Air Act. 

Clean Air Act § 110(a)(2)(J)

§ 110(a)(2)(J), Public Notification of NAAQS Exceedances: 

Requires states to notify the public if NAAQS are exceeded in an area, to advise the 

public of health hazards and to enhance public awareness of measures to prevent 

exceedances and ways that they can participate in regulatory and other efforts to improve 

air quality. (§ 1271 public notification)

• Public hearings on proposed Maryland regulations are held in accordance with the 

following statutory provisions, not currently in the Maryland SIP:

Air Quality Planning Program 

Maryland's Air Quality Planning Program (AQPP) writes state implementation plans and regulations to reduce emissions and achieve the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six "criteria" air pollutants: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, lead, carbon 

monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The AQPP also implements federal, regional, local, and state greenhouse gas emissions

reduction programs, including implementing the requirements of the Maryland Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act of 2009 and 

managing Maryland's involvement in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). 

The AQPP consists of three divisions covering its different program areas:

(1) Planning and Policy

(2) Regulation Development

(3) Climate Change

Planning and Policy: State Implementation Plans

The Planning and Policy Division develops air quality plans, also called state implementation plans, which are designed to attain and

maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas cleaner than the 

standards.

The state implementation plans are listed below in chronological order with the latest documents first. Some SIPs have many 

appendices, but each distinct SIP on the list is identified with the word “Document” followed by the individual SIP’s name below that 

and any appendices subsequently.

Note: Maryland's State Implementation Plans are viewable in Adobe Acrobat Reader (pdf) format. To view the documents, you will have 

to download the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Statement of the Air and Radiation Management Administration 

Maryland Department of the Environment 

For the Public Hearing concerning the Maryland State Implementation Plan 

For Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Lead (Pb) 

June 12, 2013 

Good Afternoon. My name is Randall Carroll. 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 air quality plan entitled the Maryland State Implementation Plan for 

Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Lead (Pb). 

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

51.102 and 251. It is also being held in conformance with the State Administrative Procedure Act, under 

the State Government Article, beginning at Section 10-101. 

Notice of this public hearing appeared on the Maryland Department of the Environment's website on May 9, 

2013, and remained on the website to the date of today's hearing. 

Copies of each of the public hearing notices and the proposed Maryland State Implementation Plan 

For Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Lead (Pb) will be part of the formal hearing record. 

Access to the proposed document was made available via the website of the Maryland Department of the 

Environment. Hard copies were also available at the Maryland Department of the Environment. 

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

proposed document. 

Summary of the Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Lead 

(Pb) 

The Clean Air Act was passed in 1970 to protect public health and welfare. Congress amended the Act in

1990 to establish requirements for areas not meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). The Clean Air Act Amendments established a process for evaluating air quality in each region 

and identifying nonattainment areas according to the severity of its air pollution problem. The Clean Air 

Act sets health standards for six ambient pollutants: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, 

ozone, lead and particulate matter. The Environmental Protection Agency establishes rules and regulations 

to implement the Clean Air Act. 

Section 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act requires that each SIP provide for the implementation, 

maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS. This section also requires that within three years of the 
2

promulgation of a NAAQS, a state must adopt and submit such a plan to EPA. These “infrastructure SIPs” 

provide assurances of state resources and authorities, and where necessary establish the basic state 

programs, to implement, maintain, and enforce new or revised standards. This SIP document summarizes 

where the §110(a)(2)(J) “Public Notification” and §110(a)(2)(M) requirements for the 2008 revised lead

NAAQS are addressed in Maryland’s current SIP or pending SIP revisions. 

Note that this SIP document is an addendum to Maryland’s Lead (Pb) Infrastructure SIP, SIP Number 12-

09, dated December 12, 2012, submitted to EPA on January 3, 2013. 

The attached State Implementation Plan addresses Maryland's obligations under §110(a)(2) of the Clean 

Air Act for the revised lead (Pb) National Ambient Air Quality 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. Oral and written comments may be presented at this 

hearing. The 30-day public comment period that began on May 9, 2013, for receipt of all comments to the 

plan will close at 5:00 PM today.

MARYLAND CLEAN AIR ACT SECTION 110(a)(2)

Anthony G. Brown 

Lieutenant Governor 

Background 

A State Implementation Plan (SIP) is a plan for each state that identifies how that state will attain 

and maintain the primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). 

The SIP contains regulations, source-specific requirements, non-regulatory items such as plans 

and inventories, and other types of submittals designed to satisfy requirements promulgated by 

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The initial SIPs for states were approved on 

May 31, 1972. SIPs may be revised by the state with EPA approval. The federally enforceable 

SIP for the State of Maryland is compiled under 40 CFR Part 52 Subpart V. 

Section 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act requires that each SIP provide for the 

implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS. This section also requires that 

within three years of the promulgation of a NAAQS, a state must adopt and submit such a plan to 

EPA. These “infrastructure SIPs” provide assurances of state resources and authorities, and 

where necessary establish the basic state programs, to implement, maintain, and enforce new or 

revised standards. This document summarizes where the §110(a)(2)(J) “Public Notification” and 

§110(a)(2)(M) requirements for the 2008 revised lead NAAQS are addressed in Maryland’s 

current SIP or pending SIP revisions. 

Note that this document is an addendum to Maryland’s Lead (Pb) Infrastructure SIP, SIP 

Number 12-09, dated December 12, 2012, submitted to EPA on January 3, 2013. 

This certification addresses Maryland's obligations under §§110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act for 

the following National Ambient Air Quality Standards: 

Lead: A revised NAAQS for lead was promulgated by EPA on October 15, 2008. This 

rule establishes a primary ambient air quality standard of 0.15 μg/m3 on a rolling threemonth average basis and a secondary standard equal to the primary standard.
