## March 7, 2013 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Review of Draft Thurston County Second 10-Year Limited Maintenance Plan for

PM10 FROM: Jeff Hunt, Air Quality Planner TO: Debra Suzuki, Air Programs Unit Manager The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) and Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) asked EPA Region 10 to review the draft "SIP Revision for the Thurston County, Washington Second 10-year Limited Maintenance Plan for PM 10 " so that any errors or EPA concerns can be addressed prior to the start of the public comment period. Barring significant changes as a result of public comment, Ecology intends to submit a finalized version of this draft for EPA approval into the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP). I coordinated my review with Robert Kotchenruther, from the Office of Environmental Assessment. Generally speaking, the draft Thurston County plan easily meets the criteria for a limited maintenance plan approval. Listed below are the three main criteria to qualify for a limited maintenance plan as they relate to the Thurston County plan. 1. The area must be attaining the NAAQS --- Thurston County attained the PM 10 standard in 1991 and has been in compliance with the PM 10 standard ever since. EPA redesignated the area to attainment as part of an October 4, 2000 maintenance plan approval (65 FR 59128). 2. The average 24-hour PM 10 design value for the area based on the most recent five years of data should not exceed 98 Lg/m 3 the most recent design value estimate using 2008 to 2012 data is 45 pg/m 3 

## . A more detailed discussion of the monitoring data is included below. 3. .The area should expect only limited growth in on-road motor vehicle PM 1D emissions and should have passed a motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test - the calculated Regional Emissions Analysis Margin of Safety for mobile source contribution was 62 }Lglm 3
. 

## This value is well below the 98 }Lg/n1 3 

## limit showing that PM 10 emissions from on-road motor vehicle growth will be minimal. In addition to the limited maintenance plan criteria above, Ecology and ORCAA requested several updates to the SIP as part of the draft revision package. I reviewed the proposed changes and believe that they would strengthen and update the SIP if submitted. A discussion of each of the changes is included below.

## Approval of an alternate method for monitoring PM i o in Thurston County

In order to focus resources on more pressing fine particulate matter (PM 2,5 ) concerns, EPA approved discontinuation of the Federal Reference Method PMIO monitor as part of the 2007 Monitoring Network Report approval process. This decision was supported by two factors: 1.) PMIo values at that time were well below the standard, with an average 24-hour PM I o design value equal to 60 tg/m 3 for the 2001-2005 monitoring period; and 2.) a nephelometer collocated at the site was providing accurate PKo monitoring data consistent with the Federal Reference Method monitor. This 2 "`I 10-year maintenance plan submission is EPA's first opportunity to approve the alternate monitoring method into the SIP. After reviewing the correlation data between the two monitors, I agree with the determination that the nephelometer is accurately measuring PMIo values and recommend approval of this monitoring method for the 2"d 

## 10-year maintenance period. PM I o levels continue to drop with the most recent estimated design value for 2008-2012 equal to 45 lg/rn 3
. Given these low levels compared to the 150 p.g/m 3 NAAQS standard, any minor differences between the two monitoring methods is likely to be moot as discussed below. A transition from PMIo to PM2 ,5 control measures The Thurston County attainment plan approved by EPA in 1993 relied on three control strategies we still use today for particulate matter:

• Curtailment of wood burning devices during periods of impaired air quality
• Certification of new wood burning devices
• Rules governing the sale and removal of uncertified wood stoves Today, however, we are far more concerned with the more stringent and environmentally relevant PM 2.5 24-hour standard of 35 l.ig/m 3
. Based on data from the Thurston County monitor, PM 2,5 levels would need to reach 139 μg/m 3 to violate the PM I o standard on a typical winter clay of concern. For this reason, the control measures listed above now focus 

## on PM2,5 curtailment programs. This draft revision contains ORCAA regulations for incorporation into the SIP based on more recent PM 2,5 trigger levels to supplement the control measures last approved into the SIP in 1993. A comparison of the ORCAA rules with the 1993 SIP approved rules is included as Attachment A. An update to the SIP approved Ecology rules Ecology's Solid Fuel Burning Device Standards, chapter 173-433 Washington Administrative Code (WAC), were last approved into the SIP on January 15, 1993, based on regulations from 1987, 1989, and 1990. Ecology subsequently revised portions of chapter 173-433 WAC which would significantly strengthen the SIP, including one of the nation's most stringent emissions 2

## performance standard. Incorporation of these revised sections is the first step in our collective

effort to bring the SIP up to date for solid fuel burning devices. A redline strikeout version of the submitted 1991 and 1993 Ecology rule changes compared to the SIP approved provisions is included as Attachment B along with my analysis.

Removal of WAC 173-433-170 Retail sales fee from the SIP Ecology requested that EPA remove WAC 173-433-170 Retail sales fee from the SIP. While the November 1991Thurston County attainment plan does include a copy of all regulatory changes to chapter 173-433 WAC, including WAC 173-433-170, inclusion of the retail sales fee is not necessary as part of the SIP since it was not a control measure relied on for attainment in the plan. Therefore, I recommend removing this provision from the federally enforceable SIP. Creation of a sample proposed Federal Register notice In order to identify all relevant issues to the best of my ability, I drafted a sample Federal Register notice based on the Sandpoint PMIO Nonattainment Area Limited Maintenance Plan and Redesignation Request recently signed by Dennis McLerran on January 22, 2013. This sample Federal Register notice is included ,as Attaclanent C. The sample is intended to identify any issues with Ecology's draft. Upon submission, I will review any changes to Ecology's final SIP revision along with any comments received during the state or local public comment periods, and revise this draft as appropriate.

Harbor rib-ow 

## Ala cl'e m aiIarr y Ro ui r art 5 Thurston



## ORCAA Rule 6.2.6 Curtailment (a) No outdoor fire shall be ignited in a geographical area where a burn ban has been declared. (b) The person responsible for an outdoor fire must extinguish the fire when a burn ban is declared. (c) Three (3) hours after a burn ban is declared smoke 

## visible from all types of outdoor burning, except land clearing burning, will constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful outdoor burning. (d) Eight (8) hours after a burn ban is declared smoke visible from land clearing burning will constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful outdoor burning.
Rule 6.2.7 Recreational Burning The following burn practices shall be used for recreational burning where allowed. (a) Maximum pile size is three (3) feet in diameter and two (2) feet high. (WAC 173-425-060) 

## (b) Only dry, seasoned firewood or charcoal and enough clean paper necessary to start a fire may be burned. (c) No recreational bites are allowed within 

## the city limits 

## of Lacey; Olympia; 

## and Tumwater, 

## and unincorporated areas of Thurston County lying within or between the municipal boundaries of these cities. Charcoal, propane, or natural gas may be used without a permit. Existing SIP - WAC 173-425-036 CURTAILMENT DURING EPISODES OR IMPAIRED AIR QUALITY (1) No open 

## fire shall be ignited: (a) Whenever ecology has declared an air pollution episode for the geographical area pursuant to chapter 173-435 WAC; or (b) Whenever ecology or an authority has declared impaired air quality for the geographical area.

4

## (2) A person responsible for an open fire at the time an episode or impaired air quality is

declared shall extinguish that fire. Open fires conducted under the auspices of the department of natural resources for the purpose of burning forest slash pursuant to RCW 70.94.660 through 70.94.700 are to be extinguished by withholding new fuel and allowing the fire to burn down. (3) Smoke visible from a small fire after a time period of three hours has elapsed from the time of declaration of the episode or impaired air quality shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful open burning. (4) Smoke visible from a fire other than a small fire after a time period of ten hours has elapsed from the time of declaration of the episode or impaired air quality shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful open burning. (5) Ecology, air authorities, health departments, fire departments, or local police forces having jurisdiction in the area may enforce compliance with the above open burning curtailment rules. State adopted: 10/18/90; EPA effective: 1/15/93 EPA Analysis - The ORCAA regulations are as stringent, if not more stringent, than the existing SIP provisions.

## of and intended for residential space heating and domestic water heating that meets the following

criteria: (a) For the purposes of determining qualification under Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 340, Division 21 - Woodstove Certification - dated November 1984: An air-to-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber less than 30.0 during the burning of ninety percent or more of the fuel mass consumed in the low firing cycle. The low firing cycle means less than or equal to twenty-five percent of the maximum burn rate achieved with the doors closed or the minimum burn rate achievable, whichever is greater; or (b) For the purposes of determining qualification under 40 CFR 60 Subpart AAA - Standards of Performance for Residential Wood Heaters - dated February 26, 1988: (i) An air-to-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber averaging less than 35.0, as determined by EPA Reference Method 28A; (ii) A useable firebox volume of less than twenty cubic feet; (iii) A minimum burn rate less than 5kg/hr as determined by EPA Reference Method 28; (iv) A maximum weight of 800 kg, excluding fixtures and devices that are normally sold separately, such as flue pipe, chimney, and masonry components not integral to the appliance. EPA Analysis --- The ORCAA regulations are a significant improvement over the existing SIP provisions last approved by EPA in 1993. The ORCAA rules contain trigger levels for PM2.5 and contain updated certification standards.

ORCAA Rule 8.1.2 General Emission Standards 

## (a) No person
.. ,. --' en-from a solid fue-l-hurning-de 4ee that. unre. and-enjoyment of property or-workplace: (b) No person shall cause or allow emission of a smoke plume from any solid fuel burning device to exceed an average of twenty percent (20%) opacity as determined by EPA Method 9. The provision of this requirement shall not apply during the starting of a new fire for a period not to exceed 20 minutes in any 4 hour period. (c) Smoke visible from a chimney, flue, or exhaust duct, in excess of the opacity standard shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful operation of an applicable solid fuel burning device. This presumption may be refuted by demonstration that the smoke was not caused by an applicable solid fuel burning device. Existing SIP -- WAC 173-433-110 OPACITY STANDARDS. (1) Phase 1 opacity level. A person shall not cause or allow emission of a smoke plume from any solid fuel 

## burning device to exceed an average of forty percent opacity for six consecutive minutes in any one-hour period.

8

## (2) Phase 2 opacity level. After July 1, 1990, a person shall not cause or allow emission of a

smoke plume form any solid fuel burning device to exceed an average of twenty percent opacity for six consecutive minutes in any one hour period. (3) State-wide opacity standard. An authority shall not adopt or enforce an opacity level for solid fuel burning devices that is more stringent than the state-wide standard. (4) Test method and procedures. EPA reference method 9 - Visual Determination of the Opacity of Emissions from Stationary Sources shall be used to determine compliance with subsections (1) and (2) of this section. (5) Enforcement. Smoke visible from a chimney, flue or exhaust duct in excess of the opacity standard shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful operation of an applicable solid fuel burning device. This presumption may be refuted by demonstration that the smoke was not caused by an applicable solid fuel burning device. The provisions of this requirement shall: (a) Be enforceable on a complaint basis. (b) Not apply during the starting of a new fire for a period not to exceed twenty minutes in any four-hour period. EPA Analysis -- While the wording of the ORCAA Rule 8.1.2 is different than the existing SIP language the overall stringency of the opacity standard is the same. ORCAA is not seeking approval of Rule 8.1.2(a) into the SIP since it is unrelated to the opacity standard.

ORCAA Rule 8 l.3 Prohibited Fuel Types 

## A person shall not cause or allow any of the following materials to be burned in a solid fuel burning device: (a) Garbage; (b) Treated wood; (c) Plastic products; (d) Rubber products; (e) Animals; (f) Asphalt products; (g) Petroleum products; (h) Paints and chemicals; (i) Salt laden wood; or (j) Any substance that normally emits dense smoke or obnoxious odors.

9

## Existing SIP -- WAC 173-433-120 PROHIBITED FUEL TYPES.

A person shall not cause or allow any of the following materials to be burned in a solid fuel burning device: (1) Garbage; (2) Treated wood; (3) Plastic and plastic products; (4) Rubber products; (5) Animal carcasses; (6) Asphaltic products; (7) Waste petroleum products; (8) Paints and chemicals; or (9) Any substance other than paper to start the fire, properly seasoned fuel wood, or coal with sulfur content less than 1.0% by weight burned in a coal-only heater, which normally emits dense smoke or obnoxious odors. State adopted: 10/18/90; EPA effective: 1/15/93 EPA Analysis - The ORCAA rules are nearly identical to the existing SIP provisions. Arguably, the ORCAA provisions are more stringent since they limit the burning of all petroleum products rather than just waste petroleum products, as well as prohibiting the burnin g of salt laden wood.
ORCAA Rule 8.1.4 Curtailment (a) Whenever the Agency has declared a Stage I burn ban for a geographic area, a person within that geographic area with an adequate source of heat other than a solid fuel burning device shall not operate any solid fuel burning device, unless the solid fuel burning device is one of the following: (I) Certified; or (2) A nonaffected pellet stove. (b) Whenever the Agency has declared a Stage 2 burn ban for a geographic area, a person within that geogrttpliical


## - area with ail adequate source of heat other

- than a solid fuel burning: device shall not operate any solid fuel burning device. (c) The affected geographic area of a declared Impaired Air Quality shall 

## be determined by the Executive Director or their designee. (d) A person responsible for an applicable solid fuel burning device already in operation at the time Impaired Air Quality is 

## declared shall withhold new solid fuel 

## for the duration of the Impaired Air 

## Quality. Smoke visible from a chimney, flue, or 

## exhaust duct after three hours has elapsed from the declaration of the Impaired Air Quality shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful operation of an applicable solid fuel burning device. This presumption may be refuted by demonstration that the smoke was not caused by a solid fuel 

## burning device. (e) For the sole purpose of a contingency measure to meet the requirements of Section 172(c)(9) of the Federal Clean Air Act, the use of solid fuel burning devices, except fireplaces as defined in RCW 70.94.453(3), woodstoves meeting the standards set forth in RCW 70.94.457 or pellet stoves either certified or issued an exemption by the EPA in accordance with Title 40, Part 60 of .10

## the Code of Federal Regulations will be prohibited if the EPA, in consultation with Ecology and

the Agency, makes written findings that: (1) The area has failed to make reasonable further progress or attain or maintain a national ambient air quality standard; and, (2) Emissions from solid fuel burning devices from a particular geographic area are a contributing factor to such failure to make reasonable further progress or 

## attain or maintain a national ambient air quality standard. (3) A prohibition issued under 8.1.4(e) 

## shall not apply to a person that does not have an adequate source of heat without burning wood. (4) The area is to consist of all areas within the city limits of Lacey, Olympia, and Turnwater and unincorporated areas of Thurston County lying within or between the municipal boundaries. Existing SIP -- WAC 173-433-150 CURTAILMENT. (1) A person in a residence or commercial establishment with an adequate source of heat other than the burning of solid fuel shall not 

## burn solid fuel in any solid fuel burning device: (a) Whenever ecology has declared an air pollution episode for the geographical area pursuant to chapter 173-435 WAC; or (b) Whenever ecology or an authority has declared impaired air quality for the geographical area, except when the solid fuel burning device is certified under WAC 173-433-100. (2) A person responsible for a solid fuel burning device already in operation at the time an episode is declared shall withhold new solid fuel for the duration of the episode. A person responsible for a solid fuel burning device that is not certified under WAC 173-433-100 already in operation at the time impaired air quality is declared shall withhold new solid fuel for the duration of the impaired air quality. Smoke visible from a chimney, flue or exhaust duct after three hours has elapsed from the declaration of the episode or impaired air quality shall constitute prima facie evidence of unlawful operation of an applicable solid fuel burning device. This presumption may be refuted by demonstration that the smoke was not caused by a solid fuel burning device. (3) Ecology, authorities, health departments, fire departments, or local police forces having jurisdiction in the area may enforce compliance with the above solid fuel burning device curtailment rules after three hours has elapsed from the declaration of the episode or impaired air quality. State adopted: 10/18/90; EPA effective: 1/15/93 EPA Analysis - Although the wording of the ORCAA rule is different than the existing SIP language the overall stringency and effectiveness of the rule appears to be equivalent. The ORCAA rule also contains the area specific contingency measure for the Thurston County maintenance area.

## ORCAA Rule 8.1.5 Exemptions



## Written exemptions granted by the Agency shall be valid for one (1) year from date of issue. Exemptions may be canceled at any time if the original request is found to be incorrect, inaccurate or fraudulent. Exemptions shall apply only to the use of solid fuel burning device during an Impaired Air Quality and not to the other rules of this regulation or other applicable regulations. (a) Emergency exemption. In an emergency situation the Agency may issue a written solid fuel burning device emergency exemption. An emergency situation shall include, but is not limited to, a situation where a person demonstrates that their heating system, other than a solid fuel heating device, is inoperable for reasons other than their own actions or a situation where the heating system has been involuntarily disconnected by a utility company or other fuel supplier. (b) Inadequate heat source. Written exemptions may be issued by the Agency if a person can demonstrate that: (1) The structure was originally designed with a solid fuel burning device as the source of heat; or (2) The existing heat source, fueled with other than solid fuel, will not provide adequate heat. EPA Analysis -- ORCAA Rule 8.1.5 does not appear to have a directly corresponding provision in the existing SIP. However, ORCAA Rule 8.1.5 does add additional clarity and procedures for determining how to apply the "Adequate source of heat" exemption already contained in the existing SIP. The additional clarity of the ORCAA provisions strengthens the SIP.

ORCAA Rule 8.1.6 Penalties 

## A person in violation of this Rule 8.1 may be subject to the provisions of Rule 2.5. Existing SIP -- WAC 173-433-200 REGULATORY ACTIONS AND PENALTIES A person in violation of this chapter may be subject to the provisions of WAC 173-400-230
• Regulatory actions and WAC 173-400-240 Criminal penalties. EPA Analysis - ORCAA Rule 2.5 Regulatory Actions and Penalties 

## contains civil and criminal enforcement provisions consistent with the SIP approved provisions of WAC 173- 400-230 and 173-400-240.

12

## OR CAA Rule 8.1.7 Sale and Installation of Uncertified Woodstoves

It shall be unlawful to install, sell, offer for sale, advertise for sale, or otherwise transfer an uncertified solid fuel burning device unless the device has been rendered permanently inoperable as a combustion device. ORCAA Rule 8.1.8 Disposal of Uncertified Woodstoves At such time as an uncertified solid fuel burning device is to be permanently removed from its location it shall be rendered inoperable as a solid fuel burning device. A removed uncertified solid fuel burning device shall not be sold, bartered, traded, or given away for a purpose other than recycling of the materials to form something other than an uncertified solid fuel burning device. EPA Analysis - Both ORCAA Rule 8.1.7 and 8.1.8 provide clarity and procedures for implementing the wood stove sale provisions contained in WAC 173-433

. 100(1 ) of the existing SIP.

## V. Review of the State's Submittal

A. Has the State Demonstrated that Thurston County Qualifies for the Limited Maintenance Plan Option? B. Does the State Have an Approved Attainment Emissions Inventory? C. Does the Limited Maintenance Plan Include an Assurance of Continued Operation of an Appropriate EPA-Approved Air Quality Monitoring Network, in Accordance with 40 CFR Part 58? D. Does the Plan Meet the Clean Air Act Requirements for Contingency Provisions? E. Has the State Met Conformity Requirements? VI. Revisions to the Washington SIP VII. Proposed Action VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. This Action The EPA is proposing to approve the limited maintenance plan submitted by the State of Washington on XX.XX, for Thurston County, including approval of a monitoring system modification for the area. The limited maintenance plan also includes Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) regulatory changes that strengthen the control measures contained in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) since our last approval on January 15, 1993 (58 FR 4578). In addition to the state regulatory changes, EPA is proposing to approve corresponding local regulations adopted by the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) because they have direct implementation authority in Thurston County. Lastly, the EPA is
4

## proposing to remove Chapter 173-433-170 Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Retail

Sales Fee from the SIP because this state provision was not a control measure relied on for attainment or a required element of the SIP. The EPA has determined that removal of this provision will not interfere with continued attainment and maintenance of the standard. Similarly, the EPA is proposing to remove Chapter 173-433-200 WAC Regulatory Actions and Penalties from the SIP incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 52,2470. The EPA reviews and approves state submissions to ensure they provide adequate enforcement authority. However, regulations describing agency enforcement authority are not incorporated into the SIP to avoid potential conflict with the EPA's independent authorities. Likewise, the EPA has reviewed and is proposing approval of ORCAA Rule 8.1.6 Penalties as having adequate enforcement authority, but will not incorporate this section by reference into the SIP codified in 40 CFR 52.2470. IL Background The EPA identified a portion of Thurston County as a "Group I" area of concern due to measured violations of the newly promulgated 24-hour PM 10 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) on August 7, 1987 (52 FR 29383). Ecology and ORCAA worked with the communities of Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater to develop a plan for attainment of the PM 1 o NAAQS. The plan was focused on wood smoke reduction and was submitted in November 1988. On November 15, 1990, the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments under section 107(d)(4)(B), designated the Thurston County Group I area as nonattainment for PM to by operation of law. The EPA published a Federal Register notice announcing all areas designated nonattainment for PM 10 on March 15, 1991 (56 FR 11101). In order to address the additional

5

## moderate area requirements imposed by the 1990 CAA Amendments, Ecology submitted a

supplement to the attainment plan in November 1991. EPA took final action to approve the entire plan on July 27, 1993 (58 FR 40056). The control measures contained in the Thurston County plan rapidly brought the area into attainment by 1991 and formed the foundation of the wood smoke reduction program still in use today. As PM IO levels in the area steadily declined, the EPA redesignated the Thurston County nonattainment area to a maintenance area on October 4, 2000 (65 FR 59128). In addition to approving Ecology's redesignation request for the area, the EPA also approved a maintenance plan to ensure continued compliance with the PM lo NAAQS for 10 years. The purpose of the current limited maintenance plan is to fulfill the second 10-year planning requirement of Clean Air Act section 175A (b) to ensure compliance through 2020. III. Public and Stakeholder Involvement in Rulemaking Process Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act requires that each SIP revision offer a reasonable opportunity for notice and public hearing. This must occur prior to the revision being submitted by a state to the EPA. The State of Washington provided notice and an opportunity for public comment on the Thurston County limited maintenance plan from XXXX to XXXX. Under the requirements of 40 CFR 51.102(a) the state also offered an opportunity for a public hearing . XXXX . This SIP revision was submitted by the Governor's designee to the EPA on XXXX:. The EPA evaluated the state's submittal and determined that the state met the requirements for reasonable notice and public hearing under section 110(a)(2). IV. The Limited Maintenance Plan Option for PM 10 Areas A. Requirements for the Limited Maintenance Plan Option

6

## On August 9, 2001, the EPA issued guidance on streamlined maintenance plan provisions

for certain moderate PKo nonattainment areas (Memo from Lydia Wegman, Director, Air Quality Standards and Strategies Division, entitled "Limited Maintenance Plan Option for Moderate PM i o Nonattainment Areas" (limited maintenance plan option memo). The limited maintenance plan option memo contains a statistical demonstration that areas meeting certain air quality criteria will, with a high degree of probability, maintain the standard 10 years into the future. Thus, the EPA provided the maintenance demonstration for areas meeting the criteria outlined in the memo. It follows that future year emission inventories for these areas, and some of the standard analyses to determine transportation conformity with the SIP, are no longer necessary. To qualify for the limited maintenance plan option the state must demonstrate the area meets the criteria described below. First, the area should have attained the PM K° NAAQS. Second, the most recent five years of air quality data at all monitors in the area, called the 24- hour average design value, should be at or below 98 lLg/m 3
. 

## Third, the area should expect only limited growth in on-road motor vehicle PM i o emissions (including fugitive dust) and should have passed a motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test. Lastly, the memo identifies core provisions that must be included in all limited maintenance plans. These provisions include an attainment year emissions inventory, assurance of continued operation of an EPA-approved air quality monitoring network, and contingency provisions. B. Conformity under the Limited Maintenance Plan Option The transportation conformity rule and the general conformity rule (40 CFR parts 51 and 93) apply to nonattainment areas and maintenance areas covered by an approved maintenance

7

## plan. Under either conformity rule, an acceptable method of demonstrating a Federal action

conforms to the applicable SIP is to demonstrate that expected emissions from the planned action are consistent with the emissions budget for the area. While qualification for the limited maintenance plan option does not exempt an area from the need to affirm conformity, conformity may be demonstrated without submitting an emissions budget. Under the limited maintenance plan option, emissions budgets are treated as essentially not constraining for the length of the maintenance period because it is unreasonable to expect that the qualifying areas would experience so much growth in that period that a violation of the PKo NAAQS would result. For transportation conformity purposes, the EPA would conclude that emissions in these areas need not be capped for the maintenance period and therefore a regional emissions analysis would not be required. Similarly, Federal actions subject to the general conformity rule could be considered to satisfy the "budget test" specified in 40 CPR 93.158 (a)(5)(i)(A) for the same reasons that the , budgets are essentially considered to be unlimited. V. Review of the State's Submittal A. Has the State Demonstrated that Thurston County Qualities for the Limited Maintenance Plan Option? As discussed above, the limited maintenance plan option memo outlines the requirements for an area to qualify. First, the area should be attaining the NAAQS. Thurston County has been attaining the NAAQS since 1991 and the EPA formally redesignated the area from nonattainment to maintenance effective December 4, 2000 (65 FR 59128). Second, the average design value for the past five years of monitoring data must be at or

## below the critical design value of 98 pg/m 3 for the 24-hour PM I o NAAQS. The critical design

value is a margin of safety in which an area has a one in ten probability of exceeding the NAAQS. Using the most recently available Federal Reference Method (FRM) monitoring data for the years 2001-2005, the state's analysis demonstrates that Thurston County's average design value was 60 ,ig/m 3 , well below the 98 gg/m 3 threshold. An FRM monitor is one that has been approved by EPA under 40 CPR part 58 to measure compliance with the NAAQS. As discussed later in this proposal, Ecology and ORCAA also calculated average design values using more recent non-FRM nepheiometer data for the period 2008-2012. This more recent monitoring data shows that PM 10 levels continued to decline with an average design value of 45 μg/m 3
. The EPA reviewed the data provided by Ecology and ORCAA and finds that Thurston County meets the design value criteria outlined in the limited maintenance plan option memo. Third, the area must meet the motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test described in attachment B of the limited maintenance plan option memo. Ecology submitted an analysis showing that growth in on-road mobile PMIO emissions sources was minimal and would not threaten the assumption of maintenance that underlies the limited maintenance plan policy. Using the EPA's methodology, Ecology calculated a regional emissions analysis margin of safety of 62 t1g/m 3 , easily meeting the threshold of 98 gg/m 3
. The EPA reviewed the calculations in the state's limited maintenance plan submittal and concurs with this conclusion. Lastly, the limited maintenance plan option memo requires all controls relied on to demonstrate attainment remain in place for the area to qualify. The controls on wood smoke reduction, Chapter 173-433 

## WAC Solid Fuel Burning Device Standards, 

## were approved by the EPA into the SIP on January 15, 1993 (58 FR 4578). As discussed later in this proposal,

9

## Ecology made updates to Chapter 173-433 WAC strengthening the control measures since the

EPA's last approval. The EPA reviewed these changes and confirmed that the underlying control measures remain in place, thus qualifying for the limited maintenance plan option. As described above, Thurston County meets the qualification criteria set forth in the limited maintenance plan option memo. Under the limited maintenance plan option, the state will be expected to determine on an annual basis that the criteria are still being met. If the state determines that the limited maintenance plan criteria are not being met, it should take action to reduce PM 10 concentrations enough to requalify. One possible approach the state could take is to implement contingency measures. Section V. I. provides a description of contingency provisions submitted as part of the limited maintenance plan submittal. To insure this requirement is met, Ecology commits to reporting to the EPA on continued qualification for the limited maintenance plan option in the annual monitoring network report. B. Does the State Have an Approved Attainment Emissions fiflventory? Pursuant to the limited maintenance plan option memo, the state's approved attainment plan should include an emissions inventory which can be used to demonstrate attainment of the NAAQS. The inventory should represent emissions during the same five-year period associated with air quality data used to determine whether the area meets the applicability requirements of the limited maintenance plan option. Ecology's Thurston County limited maintenance plan submittal includes an emissions inventory based on Ecology's 2005 Triennial Emissions Inventory and the 2008 National Emissions Inventory. These base years represent the most recent emissions inventory data available and are consistent with the data used to determine applicability of the limited

10

## maintenance plan option (i.e., having no violations of the PM i o NAAQS). The emissions

inventory focused on four significant source categories chosen based on a review of the original maintenance plan. These source categories, in order of relative impact, are wood burning, construction dust, road dust, and vehicle exhaust and tire wear. Since the Thurston County area is primarily residential and governmental, other source categories, including industrial sources, are insignificant. This data supports Ecology's conclusion that the control measures contained in the original attainment plan will continue to protect and maintain the PM i0 NAAQS. C. Does the Limited Maintenance Plan Include an Assurance of Continued Operation of an Appropriate EPA-Approved Air Quality Monitoring Network, in Accordance with 40 CFR Part 58? PMip monitoring was established in the Thurston County area in 1985, with many changes to the monitoring technology and requirements since. Beginning in 1990, Ecology and ORCAA collocated a nephelometer with the existing PM i p FRM monitor. A nephelometer is an instrument that is widely used to calculate particulate matter concentrations based on light scatter measurements. While not an EPA-approved FRM monitoring method, Ecology and ORCAA found that the nephelometer and the PM 1p 

## FRM monitor were highly correlated. Because of this high level of correlation between the monitors, as part of the 2007 animal network monitoring report under 40 CFR part 58, Ecology requested replacing the FRM monitor with the nephelometer so that resources could be redirected to more pressing environmental issues such as ensuring that areas of concern in the state were in compliance with the recently revised fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) NAAQS, which is defined as particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers. EPA approved this request on

11

## November 16, 2007. A full description of the correlation data is included in the limited

maintenance plan submittal. The EPA is proposing to approve this monitoring system modification, using nephelometer data to represent PM 1 p concentrations, under 40 CFR 58.14(c) for the second 10-year maintenance plan period because this modification is a reproducible approach to representing air quality in the Thurston County maintenance area, and the area continues to meet all applicable Appendix D requirements evaluated as part of the annual network approval process. As detailed in the limited maintenance plan, ORCAA will calculate the PM I° design value estimate annually from nephelometer data through 2020 to confirm the area continues to meet the PM 1 o NAAQS. ORCAA also makes a commitment to continue operation of a nephelometer in the Thurston County maintenance area through the 2020, the end of the maintenance period, to determine PM 1 o levels. In the unlikely event that after exceptional events are discounted, the second highest PM IO concentration in a calendar year based on nephelometer monitoring exceeds the LMP threshold of 98 .ig/m3, Ecology, ORCAA, and EPA will discuss reestablishment of FRM monitoring as part of the annual network monitoring report process. D. Does the Plan Meet the Clean Air Act Requirements for Contingency Provisions? Clean Air Act section 175A states that a maintenance plan must include contingency provisions, as necessary, to ensure prompt correction of any violation of the NAAQS which may occur after redesignation of the area to attainment. The EPA is proposing approval of ORCAA Rule 8.1.4(e) into the SIP. This regulation was passed in conjunction with the 1997 maintenance plan submission and prohibits the use of uncertified woodstoves in the

.12

## Thurston County maintenance area for the sole purpose of meeting Clean Air Act requirements

for contingency measures. The EPA reviewed 

## ORCAA Rule 

## 8.1.4(e) and determined that it meets the contingency measure requirements. The contingency measure will be triggered if a violation of the PM 1U standard occurs at the Thurston County maintenance area monitor based on nephelometer and/or FRM monitoring. A violation of the PM 1U standard will be determined by the procedures outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix K - Interpretation of the NAAQS for Particulate Matter. E. Has the State Met Conformity Requirements? (1) Transportation Conformity Under the limited maintenance plan option, emissions budgets are treated as essentially not constraining for the maintenance period because it is unreasonable to expect that qualifying areas would experience so much growth in that period that a NAAQS violation would result. While areas with maintenance plans approved under the limited maintenance plan option are not subject to the budget test, the areas remain subject to the other transportation conformity requirements of 40 CFR part 93, subpart A. Thus, the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) in the area or the state must document and ensure that: (a) transportation plans and projects provide for timely implementation of SIP transportation control measures (TCMs) in accordance with 40 CFR 93.113; (b) transportation plans and projects comply with the fiscal constraint element as set forth in 40 CFR 93.108; (c) the MPO's interagency consultation procedures meet the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 93.105;

13

## (d) conformity of transportation plans is determined no less frequently than every three years,

and conformity of plan amendments and transportation projects is demonstrated in accordance with the timing requirements specified in 40 CFR 93.104; (e) the latest planning assumptions and emissions model are used as set forth in 40 CFR 93.110 and 40 CFR 93.111; (f) projects do not cause or contribute to any new localized carbon monoxide or particulate matter violations, in accordance with procedures specified in 40 CFR 93.123; and (g) project sponsors and/or operators provide written commitments as specified in 40 CFR 93.125. Upon approval of the Thurston County limited maintenance plan, the area is exempt from performing a regional emissions analysis, but must meet project-level conformity analyses as well as the transportation conformity criteria mentioned above, (2) General Conformity For Federal actions required to address the specific requirements of the general conformity rule, one set of requirements applies particularly to ensuring that emissions from the action will not cause or contribute to new violations of the NAAQS, exacerbate current violations, or delay timely attainment. One way that this requirement can be met is to demonstrate that "the total of direct and indirect emissions from the action (or portion thereof) is determined and documented by the state agency primarily responsible for the applicable SIP to result in a level of emissions which, together with all other emissions in the nonattainment area, would not exceed the emissions budgets specified in the applicable SIP" (40 CFR 93.15 8 (a)(5)(i)(A)).

14

## The decision about whether to include specific allocations of allowable emissions

increases to sources is one made by the state air quality agencies. These emissions budgets are different than those used in transportation conformity. Emissions budgets in transportation conformity are required to limit and restrain emissions. Emissions budgets in general conformity allow increases in emissions up to specified levels. The state has not chosen to include specific emissions allocations for Federal projects that would be subject to the provisions of general conformity. VI.

## WAC to strengthen the control measures with changes such as adding one of the nation's most stringent state woodstove certification standards and by moving towards a two-stage burn ban system to encourage adoption of the cleaner burning woodstoves. These changes to Chapter 173-433 WAC 

## were effective on April 20, 1991 and March 6, 1993, but were not adopted into the SIP. A redline strikeout copy of the regulatory changes along with the EPA's analysis is included in the docket for this action. Based on our review, the EPA is proposing to approve Ecology's submitted 1991 and 1993 regulatory updates. In addition, Ecology requested that the EPA remove from the approved SIP Chapter 173-433-170 WAC 

## Retail Sales Fee (state effective January 3, 

## 1989) because this provision is not a control measure or a required element of the SIP. After reviewing the original Thurston County attainment plan, the EPA agrees that this provision was not a control measure relied upon for attainment and

15

## removal of Chapter 173-433-170 from the SIP will not interfere with continued attainment or

maintenance of the NAAQS. Similarly, the EPA erred in including Chapter 173-433-200 WAC Regulatory Actions and Penalties 

# in the SIP incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 

## 52.2470. The EPA reviews and approves state submissions to ensure they provide adequate enforcement authority. However, regulations describing agency enforcement authority are not incorporated into the SIP to avoid potential conflict with the EPA's independent authorities. Therefore, we will remove Chapter 173-433-200 WAC from 40 CFR 52.2470. While the provisions of Chapter 173-433 WAC Solid Fuel Burning Device Standards 

## apply statewide per Chapter 173-433-020 WAC, Ecology requested EPA approval of ORCAA Rule 8.1 Wood Heating and sections of ORCAA Rule 6.2 Outdoor 

## Burning because ORCAA has direct implementation authority in Thurston County. The EPA reviewed these regulations to ensure they are as stringent as the existing control measures, with a full copy of the EPA's analysis included in the docket for this action. It is important to note that the ORCAA control measures, particularly burn ban trigger levels, focus on the more stringent and environmentally relevant 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Ecology and ORCAA provided an analysis of PM to and PM 

## 2.5 data collected by collocated FRM monitors at the Thurston County monitoring site. ORCAA found that the two pollutants were correlated and one could be determined from the other with a high degree of accuracy within the range of observations. The 24-hour PM 2.5 NAAQS revised in 2006 has a protection level ' of 35 μg/in 3 compared to the 1987 PM 

## 1 o 24-hour NAAQS of 150 iglm 3
. Based on the monitoring data from Thurston County, ORCAA found that in the winter, the majority of PM I o is PM2 , 5. 

## The statistical relationship between the two PM parameters indicates PM 2,5 1evels would need to exceed 139 1,tglm 3 before the PMw D NAAQS is exceeded.

16

## The EPA concurs that Thurston County would violate the 24-hour PM 2,5 NAAQS well before it

exceeded the PM 1 o NAAQS; therefore by setting burn ban trigger levels to protect the 35 μg/m 3 24-hour PM 2.5 NAAQS, ORCAA is simultaneously protecting the 150 μg/r 3 24-hour PM I( NAAQS. Finally, ORCAA Rule 8.1.4(e) provides a local clean air agency rule for implementing the contingency measure which would prohibit the use of uncertified wood stoves. The EPA reviewed the ORCAA regulations and determined that they strengthen the SIP and meet the CAA requirements. As discussed above with respect to enforcement authorities, the EPA reviewed and proposes approval of ORCAA Rule 8.1,6 Penalties

## VII. Proposed Action

The EPA is proposing to approve the second 10-year limited maintenance plan for Thurston County submitted by Washington State. The state's submittal also included a request to approve state regulatory updates to the original control measures included in Chapter 173-433 WAC as well as corresponding local ORCAA regulations, The EPA is proposing to approve these regulatory changes as well as corrections to the EPA's January 1993 approval because these changes strengthen the SIP. VIII. Statutory and Executive 

## Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:

• is not a "significant regulatory action" subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);

• does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork__ Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);



## • is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);

18

## • does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small

governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4);

• does not have. Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);

• is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);

• is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
+ is not subject to the requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; and

• does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 20.00), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, except non-trust lands under the terms of the 1989 Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act. The EPA notes that this action will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

# Abstract/Executive Summary

The cities of Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater in Thurston County, Washington meet the federal standard for Particulate Matter 10 microns and smaller (PM [0 ). This State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision . explains how this area will continue to meet this standard) through 2020. EPA sets standards for particle - pollution because smaller particles such as soot, dust, and unburned fuel can penetrate deeply into the lungs and cause health problems. The current 24-hour federal health standard for PM 15, set in 1987, is 150 micrograms per cubic meter (p.g/m 3 ). To maintain compliance with the standard, monitored levels should not exceed this level in the area more than once a year over three years. The Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater area, called the Thurston Cotinly < Maintenance Area (TCMA or maintenance area), violated the 24-hour standard in the late 1980s. Smoke from woodstoves and fireplaces caused the TCMA to violate the standard. Control measures brought the TCMA into attainment by 1991. EPA redesignated the TCMA to attainment in 2000. The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) has enforcement authority for the TCMA. The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires an area being redesignated to attainment have an EPA-approved maintenance plan that provides for the area's continued compliance with the PM„ standard for 10 years. A second 10-year plan must follow the first 10-year plan: This document, the SIP Revision for the Thurston County, Washington, Second 10-year Limited Maintenance Plan for PM R t.,

• meets the requirement for a second llT hyear plan,
• covers the period through 2020, ancl
• fulfills the final maintenance planning.' requirements of the CAA for the TCMA. This plan includes justification for using an alternate monitoring method. Different types of monitors and methods have been used to assess particulate matter levels since 1985. ORCAA currently operates a nephelometer to track air quality. While not a federal r^ei'erence method, both Ecology's and ORCAA's research shows that for this area, the nephelometer produces results similar to the federal reference method. Therefore, this monitor is a reasonable, accurate and reliable way to represent particulate matter levels and demonstrate compliance with the I987 PMrq standard for the TCMA. Since the maintenance area meets EPA criteria and shows little risk of reviolating the federal standard, Ecology is submitting a streamlined maintenance plan called 

### a Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP). The LMP relies on the same control measures that brought the area into attainment and supported the initial maintenance plan----basical ly,

• curtailment of wood burning devices during periods of impaired air quality
• certification of new wood burning devices
• rules governing sale and removal of uncertified wood stoves
• restrictions on outdoor burning While these control measures have not changed, the underlying law and rules have. Ecology requests EPA approve ORCAA and Ecology rules that reflect these updates. ORCAA will continue to monitor air quality in the TCMA and document the area's continued compliance with the 1987 PM i c standard.

# Introduction

This State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision explains how the cities of Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater in Thurston County, Washington currently meet and will continue to meet the 1987 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter ten microns or smaller (PM,o) through 2020. Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) prepared this plan with the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA), the local clean air agency with jurisdiction over Thurston County. Particulate Matter Standards - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets air quality standards for particulate matter to protect public health. Particle matter pollution is a public health issue because smaller particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause health problems. Particle matter comes from soot, dust, and unburned fuel suspended in the air. EPA revised the particulate matter NAAQS from total suspended particulate (TSP) to PM I0 on July 1, 1987, since smaller particles were determined to be more harmful. The primary or health-based 24-hour standard for PM l0 was set at 150 gg/m 3 , and cannot be exceeded more than once a year on average over three years. This standard remains in effect today. Ten years later on July 18, I997, EPA set a 24-hour standard for fine particulate matter (particulate matter 2.5 microns or smaller or PM2 5) at 65 pg/m 3 . In 2006, the 24-hour standard was revised from 65 pg/m 3 to 35 μt/ m3. Thurston County Maintenance Area Compliance History - Thurston County violated the 24-hour PM to NAAQS in the late 1980s in the winter and wood smoke was the cause. These violations were recorded at ORCAA's PM I0 monitoring site on College Street in Lacey (Lacey-College Street). When the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) were passed, EPA designated the Thurston County Maintenance Area (TCMA) ' a nonattainrnent area, an area out of compliance with the PM [0 standard, Ecology and ORCAA prepared plans to fulfill Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. An attainment plan deael ibed how the area would comply with the standard; a maintenance plan described how the area would stay in compliance. Since woodstoves and fireplaces contributed the most to particulate matter levels in winter, limiting wood burning when air quality was poor was oneofthe control measures included in the attainment plan. Air quality improved once this and other measures ream the plan went into effect. The control and contingency measures from the attainment and maintenance plans are still in place. By the early 1990s, the monitors were consistently recording values below the standard. The area has met the standard for well over two decades, Plan Structure - This SIP revision includes the TCMA compliance history and describes how the area met and will continue to meet the standard, as well as what will be done it the standard is exceeded. This plan also includes other EPA-required elements, such as an emissions and monitoring review. This document is organized as follows: + Section 2 -- TCMA and PM ,o Standard Background - describes the area's compliance history and contains background information on the PM I0 standard
• Section 3 - Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) Option - describes the criteria an area must meet to At Mt. View Elementary School-SLAMS. Site ID 53-067-0013 Comprised of the cities of, Lacey. Olympia and Twowater. as well as unincorporated areas of Thurston County lying within or between the municipal boundaries. 1qualify for this option and how the TCMA meets these criteria

• Section 4 - PM 10 Monitoring History - provides a brief history of monitoring in the 7CMA, an evaluation of the relationship of PMro to PM 2.5 in Thurston County and justification for using an alterative monitoring method
• Section 5 - Emission inventory - includes historical information on the most significant PMro emission categories from the original maintenance plan and an updated inventory on these categories
• Section 6 - Control Measures - lists the measures and rules that were in place in the original maintenance plan, the current rules that maintain and enforce these measures and includes a request that EPA incorporate and include the updated rules in Washington State's SIP
• Section 7- Contingency Measures - describes the provisions that are in place in rules and will be taken, if the PMro standard is violated
• Section 8 e- Commitment to Continued Monitoring -stat that continued monitoring will be done
• Section 9 - Verification of Continued Attainment - describes how continued compliance will be confi r med
• Section 10 - Summary of Maintenance Plan Commitments - outlines commitments of this plan
• Section l 1 - Completion of Required Plans - states that this document fulfills federal planning requirements 

# Background Historical information on the TCMA, its compliance, and federal plan history are below. Thurston County .Mainfena ree Area - The TCMA is located in Washington State, west of the Cascade Mountains and south of Puget Sound. The topography influences the meteorology at the site. The monitoring site is located in Lacey, Washington, at an elevation of70 meters (230 feet). Figure l shows the maintenance area boundary, the location of the three cities in the TCMA and the Lacey-College Street monitoring site.

2Figure 1. 1L lvlA and the Lacey-College Street Partieirtate Monitoring Site.

Thurston County Compliance History - The Lacey-College Street monitoring site recorded ten exceedances of the PM 10 standard between 1985 and 1988. When the new PMI0 standard was set in July 1987, EPA identified Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater as a "Group I" area of concern, that is, at risk for violating the 24-hour PM i o standard (52 FR 29383, August 7, 1987). The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) required EPA to designate Lacey, Olympia and Tumwater a moderate PM I0 nona.ttainment area because of violations of the PM IO standard. The area attained the standard by 1991, was redesignated by EPA to a maintenance area in December 2000, and has remained in compliance with this standard. Plans Submitted - Ecology and ORCAA prepared plans to fulfill CAA requi r ements. An attainment plan described how the area would comply with the standard; a maintenance plan described how the area would stay in compliance. These plans are:

This maintenance plan revision ensures compliance through 2021) and fulfills the second 10-year planning requirement of CAA Section 175A (b).



### Limited Maintenance Plan Option Because the TCMA is a maintenance area, the CAA requires Ecology submit a plan that demonstrates compliance with the NAAQS through 2020. EPA developed the Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) option so areas with little risk of reviolating the PM Lo standard could be easily redesignated f r om nonattainment to attainment (also called maintenance status). EPA also allows states use this policy to prepare the

3 This plan was withdrawn after EPA established a revised PM ' , standard and instituted a process for revoking the old standard. The plan was withdrawn over concerns that if the plan were approved, the area would have a maintenance plan and a 10-year commitment for a standard that no longer existed. However, in 1999, the US Court of Appeals vacated the 1997 standard and EPA determined that the 1987 standard still applied. As a result, ORCAA requested that Ecology resubmit the maintenance plan to EPA. 4required second 10-year maintenance plans if the area meets the qualification criteria in the EPA LMP

Option Guidance (LMP Guidance). This section describes the advantages of the LMP option and how the TCMA meets the qualification criteria. Maintenance Demonstration; A maintenance plan normally contains an emissions or modeling demonstration that shows how the area will stay in compliance through the 10-year maintenance period. This demonstration normally requires a projected emissions inventory. However, an area meeting the LMP qualification criteria is at little risk of violating the standard because emissions are not expected to grow sufficiently to threaten maintenance of the standard. Therefore, when an area meets the criteria, the maintenance demonstration is presumed to be satisfied and there is no need to project emissions over the maintenance period. Transportation Conformity: The transportation conformity rule (40 CFR Parts 51 and 93) applies to nonattainment and maintenance areas. It is not reasonable to expect that motor vehicle emissions would grow enough to threaten maintenance, if an area expects only limited growth in traffic emissions and qualifies for the LMP option. Therefore, a regional emissions analysis is not required to determine whether the region's long-range transportation plan and short-term transportation improvement program conform to the maintenance plan. Other conformity requirements, such as consultation between agencies on air quality impacts of transportation projects, still apply. LMP Qualification Criteria - To take advantage of the LMP option, an area must be attaining the NAAQS, cannot exceed the average 24-hour PM1o design value of 98 vg!m 3 and should expect only limited growth in on-road motor vehicle emissions. The TCMA meets these criteria as described below; supporting information can be found in Appendix A. Flow the TCMA qualifies for the LMP option: 1. The area must be attaining the NAAQS: Thurston County attained the standard in 1991, was formally redesignated to attainment in 2000, and has been in compliance with the PMV1 10 standard for well over two decades. 2. The average 24-hour PM ! n desi wt value for the area based upon the most recerrs ive rears of data should not exceed 98 pg/n .

The area should expect only liuliled growth in on-road motor vehicle P ki l n Emissions (including fugitive dust) and should have passed a maim- vehicle regional emissions analysis test, (i.e., passes the Motor Vehicle Regional Analysis Methodology found in Attachment B oJ' the LMP Guidance.)

D Ibid. pp 3. 5Council (TRPC) projects only limited growth in on-road motor vehicle PM t o emissions for the

TCMA from 2010 through 2020 7 . Second, the area passes the motor vehicle regional emissions analysis test, As described above and in Appendix A, this area clearly attains the NAAQS, the design values are well below the defined margin of safety and the growth in PM 10 emissions from motor vehicles will not threaten compliance with the standard, 't'hus, the TCMA meets the LMP qualification criteria and qualifies for the LMP option. Ecology provided its analysis to EPA Region W. EPA Region 10 and Ecology mutually agreed to the LMP approach, ORCAA will calculate the 5-year design value estimate and provide it to Ecology annually. Ecology will include a statement that the area continues to qualify for the LMP option in the annual monitoring network report.



# Particulate Matter Monitoring This section discusses the history of PM 10 and PM2 .5 monitoring in the TC'MA, the analysis that demonstrates using a correlated nephelometer is a reasonable way to estimate PM lo levels in Thurston County, and the relationship between PMIo and PM2 .5 in the TCMA. Particulate Matter Monitoring History--- ORCAA conducts ambient monitoring in Thurston County. The Lacey-College Street site has long served as the monitoring site that represents particulate matter levels in Thurston County. Types of Particulate lonitors - At the Lacey-College Street monitoring site, PM r0 and PlM 2 5 have been measured using both Federal Reference Methods (FRM) and alternative methods not approved by EPA fix' comparison to the NAAQS. The following monitors have been used to measure particulate matter at the site.

e FRM

o Two different models ofPM,r, hall Volume (Hi-Vol) monitor, o PM 25 sequential monitor e Alternative Methods o PM 25 Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM), o Two types of nephelometers Nephelometers have been used at Lacey-College Street and other locations in the maintenance area for decades. A nephelometer measures light scatter (b, eat ) and, when correlated with a FRM instrument,. accurately represents particulate matter levels. Ecology and ORCAA analysis shows that the nephelometer produces results similar to those recorded with the FRM PM i0 instrument at Lacey-College Street. Particulate matter results derived from nephelometer values for PM t0 and PM2 . 5 are designated as NPM 10 and NPM 2,5 , respectively. -Monitoring . Dates By Pollutant - From November 1985 through April 2006, PM 10 was measured by FRM and the data reported to.EPA's Air Quality System (AQS), FRM PM 2.5 monitoring began after adoption of the federal fine particulate standard. ORCAA also ran a nephelometer to compare against FRMs for

Model Development - Ecology used hl':A ' s Data Quality Objective Guidance (DQO Guidance) to develop the model. While a nephe.loi inter is an alternative method and not a FEM, the correlation still exceeds the minimum criteria

PM1D Nepiielosteter Monitoring - Because of the high correlation between nephelometer readings and PMID concentrations, Ecology and ORCAA conclude that NPM i6 values calculated directly from a nephelometer using the Ecology model above are a reliable, reproducible approach to represent the PM i6 levels in the TCMA. Ecology and ORCAA have used and continue to use the nephelometer to measure particulate matter levels at the Lacey-College Street site. Figure 4 shows NPM IO values calculated from nephelometer data since the FRM was discontinued in December 2006. The break in the data in the summer of 2010 was due to a remodeling project at the monitoring site. The NPM 10 values have the same general pattern and similar high winter values as the FRM.

# Emission inventory This section presents the emissions inventory for this second 10-year maintenance plan and briefly describes its development. The LMP Guidance requires the maintenance plan include an attainment inventory--that is, an inventory with emission levels consistent with attainment of the PM i o standard. EPA develops a triennial national emission inventory based on EPA and state inputs. EPA issued the Air Emissions Reporting Rule (AERR) to clarify state reporting requirements. EPA and Ecology agreed on developing the attainment inventory from available triennial inventory information, Appendix G-1 provides details. Emission years and categories - EPA approved the Inventory Preparation Plan (IPP) prepared by Ecology that proposed use of readily available inforntaiion. This plan is provided as Appendix DE. Emission estimates in this maintenance plan inventory ,ire from Ecology's 2005 triennial emissions inventory 13 (2005 El) and the 2008 National Emission Inventory (2008 NEI). Thurston County values from the four most significant categories have been temporally and spatially allocated to the TCMA. These tour emissions categories were chosen based on a review Of the emission sources in the original maintenance plan. Significant source categories - The most significant sources of PM. listed: in the original maintenance plan for the TCMA were Residential Wood Combustion (i.e., Wood Pruning) and Road Dust from paved toards t4
. Lesser amounts'of PM Lo <mine from Vehicle Exhaust and Tire Wear and Construction Dual. The same four significant emission categories are included in this attainment inventory. Other sources are deemed insignificant, including industliat soulces:Outdagl^ Gtl_nine is prohibited in the :f( M emissions wgutd be irrinimal.-Activities in the TCMA continue to be govern-menial, commercial and residential in nature, Maintenance Plan Inventory - Washington State's 2005 El is the most recent, complete, readily available emission inventory for Thurston County for three of the four emission categories. Since neither Ecology nor ORCAA have local information on omissions for Construction Dust, these values are taken from the 2008 NEI. The NEI Construction Dust emission estimates have inherent uncertainties because the data was collected nationally and was not developed specifically for a local area such as the TCMA, Table 3.

Totals 1,194 3.61 100 Based on the 2005 El, uncertified stoves and older fireplaces represented 74% of the total solid fuel wood burning devices in Washington, Thurston County's total was comparable at 72% 15 for these two types of units. Since wood burning devices are the most significant source of PM lo, strategies to reduce wood smoke emissions continue to be key to compliance with the standard.



# Control Measures Wood smoke is the most significant source of PM I0 in Thurston County in the winter, ORCAA and Ecology relied upon of Reasonably Available Control Measures (RACM) for residential wood combustion to return the area to compliance with the 1987 PM to standard. Ecology and ORCAA have continued to implement the control measures included in the attainment and earlier maintenance plans. The control measures include:

• Curtailment program during impaired air quality
• Certification of new woodstoves
• Rules that govern the sale and transfer of uncertified stoves Opacity limits
• Fuel restrictions ORCAA and Ecology rules provide the legal authority to implement, maintain and enforce the control measures in this plan. They are described below and provided as Appendices E and F respectively. Control Measures in ORCAA Rules-Washington State's Clean Air Act grants the authority for and outlines the conditions under which ORCAA may adopt its own rules. ORCAA has jurisdiction over the TCMA and relies upon its rules to maintain and enforce the PM io standard, The state of Washington requests EPA adoption of the ORCAA roles listed in Table 4, and tbuncl in Appendix G

li ; 1. 6.2.6 Curtailment- restricts outdoor burning during curtailment . 6.2.7 Recreational Burning .- none allowed in TCMI ORCAA's Curtailment Program- The curtailment program has been successfully implemented in the TCIv1A. ORCAA's curtailment program is key to maintaining compliance with the standard, When wood smoke pollution impairs air quality, ORCAA restricts wood burning, When ORCAA calls burn bans for the area, woodstove use and outdoor burning are restricted or prohibited. Burn bans do not apply to homes without another source of adequate heat. Bum bans can be called at two stages. A Stage 1 ban prohibits all uncertified wood heating devices when pollution approaches unhealthful levels. A Stage 2 ban prohibits all wood heating when pollution reaches a specified higher level. Unhealthful levels are defined as follows: A Stage I bum ban (First Stage of Impaired Air Quality) is declared when meteorological conditions are piedicted to cause fine particulate levels to exceed 35 ltg/tn 3 within 48 hours, when measured on a 24 hour average basis. A Stage 2 burn ban (Second Stage of Impaired Air Quality) is declared when a first stage of impaired air quality has been in force and has not been sufficient to reduce the increasing fine particulate pe e l It i t ion trend. Under certain circumstances a Stage 2 may be declared without calling a Stage l first, Since Stage I and Stage 2 burn bans are dcsietted to maintain the more stringent 2006 PM 25 standard, ORCAA's butn ban rules are more protective of the i?M i r standard than the state burn ban rules supporting the attainment and first 10-year maintenance plan for the TCMA. ORCAA Woodstoue Change Out Programs - Over the years, OR CAA has helped many residents within the TCMA upgrade their heating systems using grants through Ecology. In the winter of 1994-95, ORCAA successfully helped Thurston County residents remove 143 uncertified woocistoves by offering a bounty of $100 on each stove. Then, in the winter of 2008-09, another grant program replaced an additional 90 uncertific l stoves in the area. The latest program, which began in the Mall of 2011, is designed to replace uncertified woodstoves with cleaner fuel burning devices. This program serves the TCMA and nth or urban growth areas I'' in Thurston County. ORCAA offers residents who want to replace wood heat systems $750 toward purchase of gas fireplaces and SI,000 toward purchase of other qualifying replaaenents. Qualifying replacement appliances include gas fireplaces/gas fireplace inserts, electric or natural gas/propane furnaces, natural gas/propane heaters/stoves, or electric heat pumps including ductless heat pumps, This program ends June 30, 2013. Control Measures in Washington-Rules - Ecology ' s woodstove rules are published in Chapter 173-433 Washington Administrative Code (WAC). Notably these rules include emission standards for new woodstoves found in WAC 173-433-100. Washington State has one of the most protective woodstove emission standards in the country. Since January 1, 1994, new woodstoves must meet a 2,5 gramsIbour (g/hr) emission limit for catalytic stoves and 4.5 g/hr for all other (noncatalytic) stoves. EPA (which is working on revising its standards) set standards of 4.1 g/hr for catalytic stoves and 7.5 glhr for noncatalytic stoves in 1998.

The result of the analysis must be less that 98 (tg/m 3 , the Margin of Safety (MOS) value for the 24-hour PM 13 standard. The following methodology was used to determine whether increased emissions from on-road mobile sources could, in the next 10 years, increase concentrations in the TCMA and threaten the assumption of maintenance that underlies the LMP Guidance, DV+ (VMT,,; x <MOS Where: DV = the area's design value based on the most recent 5 years of data, .Lg/m 3 VMTo = The projected percent increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) over the next 10

The VMT data for the TCMA for 2010 and 2020 was supplied by the Thurston Regional Planning Council (TRPC) 3 , The percent increase in VMT was calculated by calculating the difference between 2020 and 2010 VMT per day and determining the % change. VMT values are: 2020 3,283,767 miles per day 2010 2,809,324 miles per day 10-year increase = 474,443, miles per clay Percent Increase ( VMT ,;) 16.9% Step 3.

Box 47600 Olympia, WA 9l504-7600 Re: 2007 Washington Ambient Air Ivlanitoring Network Assessment bear Mr. Ragan: We have evaluated the 2007 Washington Ambient Air Monitoring Network Assessment and Ecology's proposed air monitoring network for 2008. This network assessment proposes the following Changes to the Washington ambient air monitoring'network that have mewed since EPA's approval of the 2006 network assessment: 1) CO - The Vancouver CO site was discontinued on 9130106. It is proposed the CO' Bellevue (148°') and Spokane (3` a & Washington) sites in Washington he designated as SLAMS sites. . 2) Ozone -,The FCC Loomis and Wishram sites have been discontinued, The remaining ozone sites in Washington are recommended as SLAMS with one exception. The Seattle *Beacon Hill is recommended as an NCore site. 3) NO2 - Ecology has ceased operation of the Beacon. 11 l! N02 monitor. Trace level NOy has been established at the Seattle Beacon Hill site. 4) SOP - The Seattle
. Beacon Hill 802 monitor leas been discontinued. Traee level 502 bns been established at the Beacon Hill site. 5) Ecology has discontinued operating all MI O FRMs, except at the Yekinna and Spokane Crown 2 sites. Operation of equivalent method PM10 continuous devices are in place at all remaining locations. At Clarkston, the PM10 FRM has been replaced with a PM2.5 Continuous device and correlation with a PM2.5 FRM is underway. At Sunnyside, the , PMI O FRM and platform was damaged by high winds in Decetuber 2006. It will not be replaced. 6) PM2.5 Fk144s at Vancouver and Yakima were re-established as of 11112007 because. PM2.5 design values at these sites are close to the new PM2.5 24-hour standard. 7) P1v12.5 speciation: The Olive Street and Duwamish speciation monitors will be relocated to the following locations by the end of 2007: a) Moose Lodge, 8205 E 4th Plain Boulevard, Vancouver, AIRS 11530110013 b) Comprehensive Mental Health, 402 South 4th Avenue, Yakima, AIRS #530770009 These changes are consistent with the network design criteria identified in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D. I therefore approve these changes.

Ecology analyzed the relationship between nephelometer readings and Federal Reference Method (FRM) PM ]c concentrations for seven years - from February 5, 1999 1 to April 23, 2006. Ecology used EPA's Data Quality Objective (DQO Guidance ' ) to develop a model. The analysis showed that the nephelometer data correlated well to the FRM data, Ecology derived a Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r2) of 0.88, which surpasses DQO Guidance identi tied minimum specification of0.70 3 .

## Appendix E. Emission Inventory Documentation

Ecology developed an inventory 

### or annual and winter weekday PMro emissions estimates forthe LMP. In the original maintenance plan, all sources of PMro were included. For this LMP, the four most significant sources in the original plan were inventoried: Residential Wood Combustion, Paved Road Dust, Onroad Motor Vehicles, and Construction Dust. Other categories inventoried in the original maintenance plan were deemed insignificant, and were not inventoried. Ecology's 2005 triennial emissions inventory (2005 El) was used for all categories except Construction Dust. Since neither Ecology nor ORCAA have local information on emissions for Construction Dust, emissions for this category were taken From the 2008 National Emission Inventory (2008 N El). The 2005 El estimates were available as annual and winter season emissions for Thurston County. The 2008 NEI estimates were annual estimates for Thurston County. These estimates were temporally allocated to a winter weekday, and spatially allocated to the nonattainment area as described below. Nonpoint Sources Residential Wood Combustion, Paved Road Dust and Construction Dust are nonpoint sources. These emissions are typically estimated by multiplying an activity level, such as wood combusted or Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), by an emission factor in mass per activity.

Emissions = Activity level x Emission Factor Estimation methods and data sources for these nonpoint sources are described below. Residential Wood Combustion Residential wood combustion (RWC) emissions are based on the 2005 Emission Inventory. RWC consists of home heating and recreational use of woodstoves, fireplaces, fireplace inserts and central. furnaces. Activity parameters for the 2005 El include the type of wood burning devices [certified (catalytic and noncatalytic) woodstoves; uncertified woodstoves and fireplaces], the amount and species of wood burned from each device and seasonal, daily and hourly usage rates. Most of this information was obtained through WSU's Wood Burning Stove Survey for Idaho, Oregon and Washington State (^VSU Survey 2001). Emission tractors were taken from AP 42, the 2002 NEI, and the particulate matter size distribution from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Wood burning devices include central furnaces, fireplaces, pellet stoves, and certified and uncertified woodstoves and inserts. Close to three quarters of all wood burning devices in the state are fireplaces or uncertified woodstoves and inserts. Table D-l, Solid Fuel Devices, Washington State and Thurston Coun Thurston County Washington State Fireplaces 22,126 705,985 Uncertified woodstoves and inserts 12,130 272,103 All Devices Total 47,444 1,320,959 Percentage, fireplaces and uncertified stoves and inserts 72% 74%

30Paved Road Dust

Paved Road Dust emission values for paved roads are based upon the 2005 El. Average Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled (ADVMT) for Thurston County was estimated by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) through use of the federal Department of Transportation's Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPIvIS) I , HPMS includes a system of traffic counts collected over several urban and rural sampling areas. The Paved Road Dust equation in AP-42 ' was used to calculate emissions, Both the 1995 and 2005 emission inventories excluded Unpaved Roads. Construction Dust Construction Dust values from EPA's 2008 NEI 3 are used because neither ORCAA. nor Ecology has local data for this category for 2005. The 2008 NEI data includes construction dust in three categories: Industrial/ Commercial/Institutional, Residential Construction, and Road Construction. It should be noted that top-down inventories such as the NEI have inherent uncertainties because data is collected nationally, and was not developed specifically for a local area, such as the TCMA. Onroad Mobile Sources Onroad mobile source emissions are those generated by operating vehicles on public roadways. The activity measure for omroad mobile sources is the number of miles driven. Emissions from fuel combustion, and brake and tire wear are estimated based on the 2005 El. Average Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled ADVMT for Thurston County was estimated by WSDOT as described above in the Paved Road Dust section. Emission Factors - Tailpipe Emissions and Brake and Tire Wear Onroad mobile source emissions were calculated with EPA's Mobile 6.2 model. Emission rates in grams per mile were generated for unique combinations of month, vehicle type, pollutant and pollutant type (exhaust, evaporative, brake wear, tire wear). MOBILE 6.2 uses a combination of default and local input data to estimate emission factors.

WSDOT provided monthly ADVMT adjustment factots based on 2005 traffic counts, The factors were used to calculate winter clay VMT on paved roads, Winter emission factors were calculated assuming no rainfall, and therefore no moisture adjustment. The emission factors were multiplied by the winter day VMT to estimate emissions, Construction Dust Construction Dust values are from EPA's 2008 NEI. Activity Adjustments for Construction Dust are as follows, The EPA NONROAD2008 model for Construction Equipment allocates 20.7% of construction equipment activity to winter (SEASON.DAT tile). Construction equipment is assumed to operate 6 days/week. The total winter day emissions are calculated: T/day = (T/yr x 0.207) / [(6/7) * 90 days/winter] Temporal Allocation - Additional Adjustments for Construction Dust A further adjustment was made to construction dust emissions to account for higher soil moisture values in the winter. The NEI dust equations contains a multiplier of 24/PE where PE lathe 30-year average precipitation-evaporation value from Thomthwaite's PE Index. A variation of Thornwaite's precipitation-evaporation equation (below) was used to calculate PE by month using 13 years of temperature and precipitation data 's from the Olympia Airport meteorological station. The calculated monthly PE values for Oct-Mar were normalized to produce a 12-month PE value representative of the winter, The normal annual PE was divided by the winter PE to produce a moisture adjustment factor (60%).

## Inventory Preparation and Quality Assurance Plan

Thurston County PM 1 o Maintenance Area
f Introduction A portion of Thurston County, Washington exceeded the newly adopted 24-hour PM 1 ,,standard of 150 ltg/m 3 iu 1987 and was designated Group I by EPA for violating this standard. In 1990, the area was designated nonattainment per the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act. The area was reclassified to attainment in 2000 when EPA approved the first 10-year maintenance plan for Thurston County in December of 2000. The maintenance plan for the second 10-year period was due before December 2010. Once approved by EPA, the second ten year plan will fulfill the final maintenance planning requirement of the Clean Air Act. This Inventory Preparation and Quality Assurance Plan (IP/QA Plan) is in support of the development of the required second 10- year PM,o maintenance plan. The Thurston County PM,p maintenance area (TCMA) includes the cities of Olympia, Lacey and Tumwater and unincorporated areas within or between these cities' boundaries. Air quality is monitored at the College Street monitoring station in Lacey. The area has been in compliance with the standard for decades. The design value for 2003-2005 was 42 .tg/m '
. Measured Federal Reference Method (FRM) PM,,, values were so low that the monitor wus removed with EPA approval in 2006. Since then, only continuous, non-reference method monitoring has been conducted in Lacey with a correlated nephelometer, Ecology will prepare the maintenance plan in coordination with Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA). Because the area has been in compliance for many years and the risk to the community of exceeding the PM I o standard is low, Thurston County qualifies for the Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) approach, A LMP assumes there is low risk of exceeding the standard and the demonstration of maintenance is presumed to be satisfied. A LMP includes a base year (attainment) inventory, but does not require a projected year inventory. Ecology proposes using existing information from Ecology ' s 2005 triennial emissions inventory ' (2005 El) and the 2008 National Emission Inventory (NEI) to create the inventory for the most significant emission sources. The following sections describe the planned approach to the LMP El and the basis for selecting that approach. Ecology is submitting this 1P/QA Plan for EPA approval.

- I.1 Geographic Area The TCMA is located west of the Cascade Mountains at the southe r n end of Puget Sound. The College Street monitoring site is at the Mountain View School in Lacey, WA at an elevation of 70 meters, (230 feet). Figure t below shows the features surrounding the maintenance area and the location of the monitoring site.

1.2 Temporal Resolution Historical exceedances of the 24-hoar PiV[ Itt standard occurred primarily during cold days from October through March. Therefore, the inventory will address average winter daily emissions in the maintenance area in addition to annual emissions. 2 Inventory Development Ecology and ORCAA will develop an emission inventory using readily available data. We will document the estimation methods and gather information from the relevant inventory reports. We will begin with existing county data and temporally and spatially allocate it to the TCMA. The emission inventory will include annual and winter day emissions. Initially, we proposed four emissions categories be included in this LMP. This was based on a review of emission categories listed in the first maintenance plan, Table 2.1 shows the breakdown of MIN emissions for an average winter day in 1995.

36Table 2-1 - 1995 PM 11 , Average Winter Day Emissions

Emissions Categories Tons Per Winter Day Percent of Winter Day Emissions Road Dust 2,27 ?5..3'% Vehicle E'haustand Tire Wear 0.57 6.4% Construction Dust 0.5 5.6`% Residential Wood Combustion (labeled Wood Burning in 1995 plan) 5.45 60.8% Open Burning _ 0.04 0.4% Airplane Activity 0.07 0.8% Point Sources O. l 1.1% The most significant sources of PM 1 ,y in the TCMA were and continue to be Residential Wood Combustion (i.e.. Wood Burning) and Road Dust. Smaller contributions come from Vehicle Exhaust and Tire Wear and Const r uction Dust. Other sources are deemed insignificant and will not be included in the inventory. In previous discussions, EPA agreed that these Pour categories are all that need to be included in this LMP. Inventory values are available from Ecology's 2005 El for Thurston County for most of these source categories ' . Since a 2005 El value is not available for Construction Dust, Ecology and QRCAA would like to omit it from the inventory. While existing 2008 data from the NEI could be used, it is nor kind. This is discussed further below. 2.1 Noupoint Sources Residential Wood Combustion. Road Dust and Construction Dust are nonpoint sources. These emissions are typically estimated by multiplying an activity level, such as wood combusted or Vehicle Miles Traveled (VIvIT), by an emission factor in mass per activity.

Emissions Activity level r Emission Factor Estimation methods and data sources for these nonpoint sources are described below. 2.1.1 Residential Wood Combustion Residential wood combustion (RWC)- emissions will be based on the 2005 El. RWC consists of home heating and recreational use of woodstoves, fireplaces, fireplace inserts and central furnaces. The basis for the 2005 El include the type of wood burning devices (certified (catalytic and noncatalytic) woodstoves, uncertified woodstoves and fireplaces), the amount and. species of wood burned from each device and seasonal, daily and hourly usage rates. Some of this information was obtained through surveys, such as WSU ' s Wood Burning Stone Survey for Idaho, Oregon and Washington State (2001). Emission factors were taken from AP-42, the 2002 NEI, and the PM size distribution from the California Air Resources Board (GARB). 2.1.2 Road Dust Road Dust for paved and unpaved roads will be based upon the 2005 El. Average Daily Vehicle Miles Traveled (ADVIMIT) for Thurston County was estimated by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) through use of the national Department of Transportation's Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS)'. IJPMS includes a system of traffic counts collected over several urban and rural sampling areas.

Dust equations in AP-42 were used to calculate emission factors' ' , 2.1.3 Construction Dust If Construction Dust is included in the inventory, data from EPA's 2008 NEl would have to be used because neither ORCAA nor Ecology has local data for this category for 2005. The 2008 El data includes construction dust in three categories: industrial/Commercial/institutional, Residential Construction, and Road Construction.

• Industrial/Commercial/institutional construction dust is a function of the acreage disturbed for nonresidential construction. Regional variances in construction emissions are corrected using soil moisture level and silt content. Values on this activity are taken from census reports such as Annual Value of Construction Put in Place s and County Business Patterns° as well as the Bureau of Labor Statistics ' .

• Residential Construction Dust emissions rely on information on housing g aits" and building permils nw to estimate emissions from soil disturbed fi'om this activity.

• Road Construction emissions arc based on the amount of land disturber for road const r uction, These values came from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Top-down inventories such as the NEI have inherent uncertainties because data is collected nationally and aggregated. Based on these uncertainties and because of the small contribution of thi category to the total, Ecology and ORC4.

f would like to omit this category from the El. We request EPEE corrcurrence. 2.2 Onroad Mobile Sources Oluroad mobile source emissions are those generate is operating vehicles on public roadways. Emissions from tuel combustion and evaporation, and brake and tire v,eru a ill be estimated based on the 2005 EI. The activity measure for onroad mobile sources is the number o[ mites

. drivers, The units are typically given in ADVMT. I kIT ADVMT for Thurston County was estimated by WSDOT as duscribecl above in the Road Dust section. Emission Factors - Tailpipe Emissions and Brake and Tire Wear Onroad mobile source emissions were calculated with EPA's Mobile 6,2 model. Emission rates in grains per mile were generated for unique combinations of month, vehicle type, pollutant and pollutant type (exhaust, evaporative, brake wear, tire wear). MOBIL.E 6.2 uses a combination of default and local input data to estimate emission thctors. Local data was used for the following input parameters: evaluation month (age of fleet), registration distribution, temperature, humidity, and fuel parameters for Reid vapor pressure (RV P), fuel program, and diesel sulfur content. The parameters are described in Section 3.3 of the 2005 El. The model parameters and data sources are listed in Table 2-2 below.

394 Temporal Allocation Methods

Annual emissions data will be adjusted to tons per average winter day for the maintenance area for each source category. Methods for each category are described below. 4.1 Residential Wood Combustion . For residential wood combustion, seasonal activity fractions from the WSU survey for western Washington were used ' to calculate emissions for a winter day. 4.2 Onroad Mobile Sources WSDOT provided mouthly ADVMT adjustment factors based on 2005 traffic counts.' The factors were used to calculate winter day VMT. The winter emission factors calculated with MOBILE 6.2 were multiplied by the winter day VM.T to estimate emissions. 4.3 Road Dust WSDOT provided monthly ADVMT adjustment factors based on 2005 traffic counts. ; The factors were used to calculate winter day VMT on paved and unpaved roads. Winter emission factors were calculated assuming no raint<tll, and therefore no moisture adjustment. The emission factors were multiplied by the winter clay VMT to estimate emissions. 4.4 Construction Dust Monthly and weekday activity adjustment factors for construction equipment from EPA's NONROAD model will be used to allocate the 2008 NEI annual emissions to average winter day emissions, if included in the inventory. A further adjustment will be made for average winter. acid moisture.. 5 Quality Assurance and Quality Control We are using existing data that has already been quality checked. , Ecology uses the data quality objectives of accuracy, completeness, comparability, and representativeness. Ecology and ORCAA staff will perform quality assurance on the spatial and temporal allocation of emissionsftom the existing inventory. EPA has a process for assuring the quality of data in the NEI, if Construction Dust values are included. 6 External Audits The state is willing to he audited by EPA, and make changes to this inventory preparation and quality assurance plan if warranted, 7 Responsibility Since we are using available data, the inventory process will be simplified. Ecology will create the inventory with assistance from ORCAA. Both agencies will participate in inventory review and quality assurance activities outlined in this plan. 8 Schedule The section below shows the schedule for document submittal to EPA Region 10, Ecology will submit a draft inventory to EPA upon their request. We will submit the final inventory according to this Inventory Preparation and Quality Assurance tlP/QA) Plan.
