Executive Summary

In amendments to the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1977, Congress set a national goal to restore

vistas in national parks, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges to pristine conditions by 

preventing any future, and remedying any existing, man-made visibility impairment. In 1999, 

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the federal Regional Haze Rule, 

which aims to fulfill the goals set forth in the CAA by the year 2064. The Regional Haze Rule 

addresses the combined effects of several pollution sources over large geographic areas. It was 

therefore necessary to use a regional planning approach. 

EPA helped develop and fund five regional planning organizations (RPOs); the Central Regional 

Air Planning Association (CENRAP, no longer active as an organization) was designated as the 

RPO to represent the central portion of the United States. The State of Kansas was actively 

involved in CENRAP since its inception. In addition, CENRAP served as a platform for 

consultation between states, tribes, federal land managers (FLMs), and other stakeholders. The 

Kansas Regional Haze Plan incorporates data analyses, modeling results, and technical support 

documents prepared for CENRAP members by various contractors. 

The Regional Haze Rule applies to states that encompass air emission sources that contribute to 

visibility impairment at any of the 156 large, federally managed national parks, wilderness areas, 

and wildlife refuges designated as visibility protection areas by EPA—the mandatory Class I 

federal areas. Modeling based on 2002 air emissions inventories showed that Kansas sources 

moderately impacted several Class I areas in the CENRAP region; in addition, Kansas emission 

sources were identified by Oklahoma as potential contributors to visibility impairment at a 

specific Class I area, namely the Wichita Mountains Wilderness located in the southwest part of 

that state. 

On October 26, 2009 the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) submitted to 

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a state implementation plan (SIP) for the 

initial ten-year period of the Regional Haze Rule. The SIP was received by EPA on November 

9, 2009, and was approved in the December 27, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 80754) with an 

effective date of January 26, 2012. 

Provisions of the Regional Haze Rule contained in 40 CFR §51.308(g) and (h) require that states 

submit a progress report five years after the submittal of their initial regional haze SIP. The 

progress reports must be in the form of a SIP revision and must include a determination 

regarding the adequacy of the existing regional haze SIP. This document has been prepared to 

fulfill all applicable requirements pertaining to the five-year progress report of the initial Kansas 

Regional Haze SIP. KDHE concludes that the current SIP is sufficient to address the reasonable 

progress goals of Wichita Mountains Class I area, and by extension, other Class I areas that 

showed less visibility impact in the original modeling.

In accordance with 40 CFR §51.308(h) KDHE is also providing to EPA a negative declaration, 

i.e., that further revision of the existing implementation plan is not needed at this time. This 

finding is based upon (a) current state and federal regulations of air pollutants, (b) reductions in 

Kansas of anthropogenic NOx and SO2 emissions, and (c) improvement in visibility at the 

Wichita Mountains Wilderness, as well as other nearby Class I areas, over the past five years

(2009 to 2013).

1. Introduction

The Regional Haze Rule was originally promulgated as a final rule by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) July 1, 1999 (64 FR 35714). Only after lengthy litigation, however, 

was it finally promulgated six years later, on July 6, 2005 (70 FR 39104). The Regional Haze 

Rule encompassed the first regulations governing visibility impairment attributable to 

widespread and numerous emissions sources. On October 26, 2009 the Kansas Department of 

Health and Environment (KDHE) submitted to EPA the final revision to Kansas’ State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) to address the first ten-year implementation period of its regional 

haze program. The Kansas initial Regional Haze SIP is available at 

http://www.kdheks.gov/bar/reghaze/KDHERegHaze.pdf. 

The Clean Air Act (CAA) provides EPA with the authority to regulate visibility impairment. In 

the 1977 CAA Amendments, Congress added the national goal of preventing any future and 

remedying any existing impairment of visibility at 156 mandatory Class I federal areas (Class I 

areas), which are certain national parks and other federally managed wilderness areas and 

wildlife refuges that meet certain criteria. A map showing the Class I areas closest to Kansas is 

provided in Figure 1. Note there are 11 areas originally selected by EPA Region 7 for Kansas’

initial SIP—labeled in Figure 1 using bold font. 

Figure 1. Locations of the mandatory Class I federal areas closest to Kansas. 
5 

As can be seen in Figure 1, there are no Class I areas in Kansas. However, the pollutants 

contributing to regional haze can travel many hundreds of miles. Source apportionment 

modeling (based on CAMx photochemical modeling) for the initial Kansas Regional Haze SIP 

showed that applying best available retrofit technology (BART) to Kansas sources would 

potentially result in visibility improvements of greater than 0.5 inverse megameter (Mm-1) at four 

Class I areas. The complete set of areas can be found in Table 10.15 in the SIP (accessible at 

http://www.kdheks.gov/bar/reghaze/KDHERegHaze.pdf), presented in Appendix A in this 

document. The four areas of interest for this Progress Report are Caney Creek Wilderness Area 

(Arkansas), Hercules-Glades Wilderness Area (Missouri), Mingo Wilderness Area (Missouri), 

and Wichita Mountains Wilderness Area (Oklahoma). Wichita Mountains was the only Class I 

area found to be significantly impacted by Kansas sources for the course of the State’s initial

Regional Haze SIP; however, for purposes of completeness the other three areas with greater 

than 0.5 Mm-1 improvement will be considered as well in this Progress Report. 

The Regional Haze Rule calls for a cooperative approach involving state, federal, and tribal 

participants to address visibility impairment. Five regional planning organizations (RPOs), 

shown in Figure 2, were formed to assist in the development of work products needed to 

understand and address visibility impairment. When formed, the Central Regional Air Planning 

Association (CENRAP) included Kansas and eight other states (Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, 

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas) in the central portion of the continental 

United States. Note that since CENRAP funding was specifically designated for regional haze 

work for the initial SIP process, it is no longer active. 

Figure 2. Geographical areas of regional planning organizations (RPOs). 

Technical analyses and interstate consultation forums provided through CENRAP and other 

regional planning organizations (RPOs) assisted KDHE in the development of its initial Regional 
6 

Haze SIP. Within the initial SIP, KDHE provided a long-term strategy to fulfill the requirement 

of 40 CFR §51.308(d)(3), addressed the BART regulations codified at 40 CFR §51.308(e), and 

satisfied the other applicable requirements found in 40 CFR §51.308. 

The regional haze implementation process requires the submittal of a progress report five years 

following the submittal of the initial regional haze implementation plan. Progress reports are 

also due five years following all subsequent comprehensive Regional Haze SIP revisions. This 

document constitutes KDHE’s five-year Progress Report for Kansas’ initial Regional Haze SIP. 

It conforms with EPA’s document General Principles for the 5-Year Regional Haze Progress 

Reports for the Initial Regional Haze State Implementation Plans (April 2013, cf. 

http://www.4cleanair.org/Documents/haze_5year_4-10-13.pdf) regarding information provided, 

and it is in the form of a SIP revision, fulfilling all applicable obligations required by 40 CFR 

§51.308(g) and §51.308(h). The first comprehensive revision to the Regional Haze SIP is due 

July 31, 2018.

2. Summary of Initial Regional Haze SIP 

The key components of Kansas’ initial Regional Haze SIP included best available retrofit 

technology (BART) requirements and the State’s long-term strategy. Beginning in 2004, KDHE 

sent out a survey to the State’s stationary air emissions sources. A detailed review of the survey 

results found 66 emission units, located at 19 different facilities, comprising the BART-eligible 

sources in Kansas. Of these, five emission units located at three facilities—all electric 

generating units—were found subject to source-specific BART limits. The limits agreed to by 

the owners of these subject-to-BART units met or exceeded the presumptive limits enumerated 

in 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix Y, “Guidelines for BART Determinations Under the Regional Haze 

Rule.” 

Kansas developed a long-term strategy to address Class I areas located outside the State that may 

be affected by emissions from Kansas, as required by 40 CFR §51.308(d)(3). Development of 

the long-term strategy and fulfillment of other regional haze obligations included consulting with 

downwind states containing Class I areas. Kansas participated in discussions involving Class I 

areas in the states of Missouri and Arkansas, and attended discussions led by Oklahoma. 

Emissions from Kansas were determined to be contributing to visibility impairment in the Class I 

area in Oklahoma (i.e., the Wichita Mountains Wilderness), but not to any Class I area in 

Missouri or Arkansas. 

In terms of emissions reductions for stationary sources, the long-term strategy for reasonable 

progress was approached in two ways. For those facilities subject to BART, agreements for 

reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions were negotiated and 

signed. For remaining stationary sources with significant (greater than 500 tons per year) NOx

and/or SO2 emissions, a selection process using a “dollars per deciview difference1” approach

was used to identify units that could be expected to add controls in the event BART controls 

were insufficient. The units identified as reasonable progress, or “beyond BART” emission

units, included eight electric generating units and two Portland cement kilns. 

 

1 One deciview is approximately the smallest amount of change in visibility impairment that a person can detect. 
7 

Further, Kansas considered the following ongoing programs in developing its long-term strategy

for reasonable further progress: 

• phase-in of on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) federal standards;

• phase-in of on-board diagnostics (OBD I and OBD II); 

• federal onroad and nonroad emissions standards; 

• federal low sulfur fuel standards, including locomotive emissions standards; 

• the Kansas City Ozone Maintenance Plan;

• the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR); and

• federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)

3. Regional Haze Five-Year Periodic Report

In general, the purpose of the five-year review is to evaluate accomplishments toward the 

reasonable progress goals of each mandatory Class I federal area (Class I area) that may be 

affected by emissions from within a state. Progress reports are periodic in that they are due five 

years following the submission of the initial regional haze SIP and every five years following 

submission of a subsequent comprehensive regional haze SIP revision. Progress reports must be 

in the form of an implementation plan revision that complies with the procedural requirements of 

40 CFR §51.102 (public hearings) and §51.103 (submission and preliminary review of plans). 

The regulatory criteria for the progress reports are codified in 40 CFR §51.308(g), which treats 

requirements for periodic reports, and 40 CFR §51.308(h), which treats SIP adequacy. 

Kansas does not contain a Class I area, and this reduces—but does not eliminate—the applicable 

requirements just discussed. The remainder of this document contains the elements to be 

addressed for Kansas’ first five-year Regional Haze Progress Report.

3.1 Implementation Status - 40 CFR §51.308(g)(1)

40 CFR §51.308(g)(1) requires that the five-year periodic report contain: “A 

description of the status of implementation of all measures included in the 

implementation plan for achieving reasonable progress goals for mandatory Class I 

federal areas both within and outside the State.” 

Long-term strategies developed for the initial Regional Haze SIPs were to include all measures 

relied upon by a state to achieve the reasonable progress goals of Class I areas affected by their 

emissions. Kansas’ long-term strategy was broad in scope to ensure it encompassed all ongoing 

state and federal programs reducing the types of air pollutants that might be associated with 

visibility impairment, especially NOx and SO2, which are by far the most important pollutants 

from stationary sources. Additional factors listed in 40 CFR §51.308(d)(3)(v), such as smoke 

management plans, source retirements and replacements, emissions limits, and the net effect 

upon visibility from projected changes in emissions from anthropogenic emissions over the 

period addressed by the long-term strategy, were also required components of the long-term 

strategy. Not all items included in Kansas’ long-term strategy are expected to significantly 

influence visibility impairment in a Class I area, but were included for completeness.2

 

2 Such as the requirement that long-term strategies must consider measures to mitigate emissions from construction 

activities (51.308(d)(3)(v)(B)). Not all measures reviewed are considered significant in terms of visibility 

impairment, but are once again included for completeness.

State Programs 

Unit-specific emissions limits were developed for the Kansas Regional Haze SIP for the five 

electric generating units found to be subject to BART. These limits were embodied in the 

form of agreements between the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) 

and the two owners/operators of the five subject-to-BART units, KCP&L and Westar 

Energy (Westar). Relevant sections of these agreements may be found in Appendix B. 

Table 1 summarizes the emissions limits stipulated in the agreements for the subject-toBART units. 

Table 1. Kansas Regional Haze SIP Emissions Limits for Subject-to-BART Emissions Units

Unit(s) subject to BART

Emissions limit (lb/MMBtu, 30-day rolling average)

NOx SO2 PM10 filterable PM10 total

KCP&L - La Cygne (average of Unit 1 and Unit 2)3 0.13 0.10 0.015 0.024

KCP&L - La Cygne Unit 1 (>10-week outage of Unit 2)4 0.10 0.10 0.015 0.024

Westar Energy - Jeffrey Unit 1 0.15 0.15 n/a n/a

Westar Energy - Jeffrey Unit 2 0.15 0.15 n/a n/a

The SIP compliance date for the Westar units is January 1, 2014; nonetheless, compliance

with BART limits for both NOx and SO2 was met by Units 1 and 2 throughout inventory 

year 2012.4

 SO2 emissions from Units 1 and 2 have been continuously controlled with wet 

scrubbers since 2009 and 2010, respectively. 

The compliance date for the KCP&L units is June 1, 2015. A major construction project 

including installation of a new wet scrubber and baghouse for Unit 1, as well as low NOx burner, 

selective catalyst reduction (SCR) control, baghouse, and wet scrubber for Unit 2, is scheduled 

for completion sometime prior to the June 1, 2015 compliance date. 

The KDHE continues to implement a major source Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) permitting program and a minor source review program. Additionally, KDHE has 

developed a Smoke Management Plan to address the air quality impacts associated with 

annual prairie burning in the Flint Hills region of the State. Information about the Kansas 

Smoke Management Plan is available at http://www.ksfire.org. 

2010 Compliance Settlement

Beginning around the year 2000, the U.S. Department of Justice, at EPA’s request, began filing 

lawsuits against coal-fired electric utilities for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act. The 

resulting series of cases, called by EPA its “Power Plants Enforcement Effort,” sought to bring 

the power plant industry into full compliance with EPA’s New Source Review (NSR) and 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements of the Clean Air Act. In its

subsequent 2009 action and enforcement settlement with Westar (made final on March 25, 2010, 

cf. http://www2.epa.gov/enforcement/westar-energy-inc-settlement), EPA set limits on NOx at 

the Jeffrey facility more stringent that the BART limits in the Kansas Regional Haze SIP. 

 

3 See Appendix B, part A1, KCP&L Agreement for more specific information on emissions limits for La Cygne 

Units 1 and 2. 4 A table showing 2012 30-day rolling averages for NOx and SO2 for the two units is found in Appendix C.
9 

Specifically:

• Beginning on December 31, 2011 [two years earlier than specified in the Kansas 

Regional Haze SIP], low NOx systems at all three units were required to achieve and 

maintain a 30-day rolling average unit NOx emission rate of at most 0.180 lb/MMBtu.

• By the end of 2014, when requirements under the settlement come into effect, Unit 1 will 

have selective catalytic reduction (SCR) installed on Unit 1, and selective non-catalytic 

reduction (SNCR) installed on Unit 2 and Unit 3. Under this scenario, which is the 

option Westar chose under the settlement, the plant-wide limit will be a 30-day rolling 

average NOx emission rate of 0.100 lb/MMBtu, with a 12-month rolling tonnage 

limitation of 9,600 tons. 

Federal Programs 

The emission reductions associated with the federal programs that are described by the following 

paragraphs were included in the CENRAP future year emissions estimates. Descriptions contain 

qualitative assessments of emissions reductions associated with each program, and where 

possible, quantitative assessments. Additionally, estimates of particulate matter reductions from 

area source maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards with compliance dates 

since January 1, 2009 (i.e., the start of the five-year look back for this progress report) is 

provided in Appendix D. The approximate total reduction in PM2.5 from sources subject to these 

standards is 351 tons per year. 

2007 Heavy-Duty Highway Rule (40 CFR Part 86, Subpart P) 

In this regulation EPA set a particulate matter (PM) emissions standard for new heavyduty engines of 0.01 g/bhp-hr, which took full effect for diesel engines in the 2007 model 

year. This rule also included standards for NOx and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) 

of 0.20 g/bhp-hr and 0.14 g/bhp-hr, respectively. These diesel engine NOx and NMHC 

standards were successfully phased in together between 2007 and 2010. The rule also 

required that sulfur in diesel fuel be reduced to facilitate the use of modern pollution 

control technology on these trucks and buses. The EPA required a 97 percent reduction 

in the sulfur content of highway diesel fuel—from levels of 500 ppm (low sulfur diesel) 

to 15 ppm (ultra low sulfur diesel, or ULSD). These requirements were successfully 

implemented on the timeline in the regulation. 

Tier 2 Vehicle and Gasoline Sulfur Program (40 CFR Part 80, Subpart H; 40 CFR Part 

85; 40 CFR Part 86) 

The EPA’s Tier 2 fleet averaging program for onroad vehicles, modeled after the 

California LEV (Low Emissions Vehicle) II standards, became effective in the 2005 

model year. The Tier 2 program allows manufacturers to produce vehicles with a range 

of emission rates among different models, but the mix of vehicles a manufacturer sells 

each year must have average NOx emissions below a specified value. Mobile emissions 

continue to benefit from this program as motorists replace older, more polluting vehicles 

with cleaner vehicles.

Clean Air Nonroad Diesel Rule (40 CFR Part 89; 40 CFR Part 1039) 

The EPA adopted standards for emissions of NOx, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide 

from several groups of nonroad engines, including industrial spark ignition engines and 

recreational nonroad vehicles. Industrial spark ignition engines power commercial and 

industrial applications and include forklifts, electric generators, airport baggage transport 

vehicles, and a variety of farm and construction applications. Nonroad recreational 
10

vehicles include snowmobiles, off-highway motorcycles, and all-terrain vehicles. These 

rules were initially effective in 2004 and were fully phased in by 2012. The nonroad 

diesel rule set standards that reduced emissions by more than 90 percent from nonroad 

diesel equipment and, beginning in 2007, the rule reduced fuel sulfur levels by 99 percent 

from previous levels. The reduction in fuel sulfur levels applied to most nonroad diesel 

fuel in 2010, and applied to fuel used in locomotives and marine vessels in 2012. 

3.2 Emissions Reductions - 40 CFR §51.308(g)(2) 

40 CFR §51.308(g)(2) requires: “A summary of the emissions reductions achieved 

throughout the State through implementation of the measures described in paragraph 

(g)(1) of this section.” 

As described above, the chief measures relied upon by Kansas to achieve the reasonable progress 

goals in its initial Regional Haze SIP were establishing specific emissions limits for its subjectto-BART sources, combined with identifying reasonable progress (or “beyond BART”) units—

large NOx and/or SO2 sources—that could cost-effectively install controls in case Kansas’ share 

of visibility impairment at the Wichita Mountains Class I area by 2018 is not sufficient.

Subject-to-BART Sources

As stated above, five emission units located at three facilities were found to be subject to BART, 

and the initial SIP details emission limits and projected emissions reductions expected after 

installing requisite controls. This information is summarized in Table 9.5 of the SIP, and 

presented in Table 2 below, along with 2002 (pre-construction) and 2012 (post-construction 

except for KCP&L – La Cygne) emissions values. Note the projected decreases in total NOx and 

SO2 have essentially been met despite the fact that the final La Cygne BART controls will not be 

in place until 2015.

Large NOx and/or SO2 Sources Not Subject to BART (“Reasonable Progress Units”)

In section 10.2 of its initial implementation plan, titled “Selection of Kansas Sources for 

Reasonable Progress Evaluation,” Kansas developed a process to fairly select stationary sources 

not subject to BART that could contribute to reasonable progress goals. This process was:

1. Identify all Kansas emission units that had greater than or equal to 500 tons for NOx 

and/or SO2 

2. Identify the most effective control technologies and screen for excessive cost

3. Model visibility impacts and screen for low-impact facilities

4. Calculate, screen, and rank based on cost per ton per deciview difference (delta 

deciview, or ∆dv) [Note cost of controls were taken from EPA’s AirControlNET tool 

(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ecas/AirControlNET.htm), while ∆dv values were found by 

running the CALPUFF model twice (with pre- and post-control emissions inputs) 

and finding the difference in deciview outputs.] 

5. Screen for non-cost statutory factors, i.e., time necessary for compliance, energy and 

non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance, and remaining useful life 

6. Re-sort and make final ranked list of potential facilities 

 

The results of this process were summarized in Table 10.12 of the SIP, and sources are presented

in Table 3. Note that Lafarge Midwest - Fredonia was permanently closed in 2012.

Emissions Reductions Summary — Subject-to-BART and Reasonable Progress Units

Using the two sets of emission units enumerated in the two tables above (i.e., subject-to-BART 

and reasonable progress, or “beyond BART” units), annual inventories from 2002 to 2012 and

estimated future emissions 2013-2018 were compiled for the two major pollutants related to 

visibility impairment from stationary sources—NOx and SO2—and are summarized in Figure 3 

(for NOx) and Figure 4 (for SO2) below. Tables containing individual reasonable progress unit 

values, along with notes describing estimates for future emissions, are presented in Appendix E.

Figure 3. Air Emissions of NOx from Kansas Emissions 

Sources for Reasonable Progress, 2002–2018

Figure 4. Air Emissions of SO2 from Kansas Emissions 

Sources for Reasonable Progress, 2002–2018 

Figures 3 and 4 show a dramatic decrease in both NOx and SO2 from Kansas sources since 2002, 

particularly for the subject-to-BART units beginning in 2008, when regional haze agreements 

were signed and their implementation begun. In absolute terms, total annual emissions of NOx

for subject-to-BART units have fallen from a high of 60,936 tons in 2002 to 16,434 tons in 2012 

(a 73 percent decrease), and by 2018 are predicted to fall to 7,091 tons, which would represent a 

very substantial decline of 88 percent over the 16-year period. Likewise for SO2, total annual 

emissions for subject-to-BART units have fallen from a high of 80,828 tons in 2003 to 17,026 

tons in 2012 (a 79 percent decrease), and by 2018 are predicted to fall to 2,683 tons, which 

would represent a remarkable decline of 97 percent over the 16-year period. Emissions of NOx

and SO2 for the reasonable progress units have decreased as well, with percent declines over the 

years 2002 to 2012 of 60 percent and 77 percent for NOx and SO2, respectively. It should be 

noted that a portion of these decreases was not mandated by the Regional Haze SIP, but came

Non-BART-Related Kansas Point Source Emissions 

Lastly, in consideration of the remainder of the stationary (point) sources not already considered, 

Table 4 shows NOx and SO2 emission trends over the period 2002-2012 for all Kansas Title V 

(major) and synthetic minor sources. Note in 2012 there were 471 of these sources reporting NOx

emissions, and 395 reporting SO2 emissions.

Table 4 again shows significant decreases in the emissions of the two most significant hazeforming pollutants from stationary sources, NOx and SO2, from Kansas sources. In the case of 

NOx the decrease from 2002 to 2012 was 37 percent, and for SO2 the corresponding decrease 

was 48 percent. 

3.3 Visibility Conditions - 40 CFR §51.308(g)(3)

The text of 40 CFR §51.308(g)(3) begins: “For each mandatory Class I Federal area 

within the State, the State must assess the following visibility conditions and changes, 

with values for most impaired and least impaired days expressed in terms of 5-year 

averages of these annual values.”

Kansas contains no Class I area and therefore is not subject to this requirement; nevertheless, it is 

beneficial for weight of evidence purposes to have available a record of visibility conditions and 

changes for the Wichita Mountains Wilderness, as well as for the three Class I areas mentioned 

above that showed the greatest potential visibility impact from Kansas emission sources by prior 

source apportionment modeling. For convenience, this report will focus on visibility conditions 

at the Wichita Mountains Wilderness only, but will show summary results for the other Class I 

areas. Data tables and glide paths for those areas can be found in Appendix F. 

Table 4 below shows visibility data, taken from the Federal Land Manager Environmental 

Database at http://views.cira.colostate.edu/fed/, for annual average 20 percent worst and 20 

percent best aerosol extinction days (in deciviews) for Wichita Mountains over the years 2002–

2011. As specified in §51.308(g)(3), five-year rolling averages of these annual values are 
14

calculated and displayed, along with the official baseline and “natural conditions” values for 

visibility (e.g., 7.53 dv for the average 20 percent worst days).

Data source: http://views.cira.colostate.edu/fed/DataWizard/Default.aspx

An examination of Table 4 shows that average light extinction at Wichita Mountains (as well as 

the other Class I areas of interest in Appendix F) has been generally decreasing (visibility has 

been increasing) over the six five-year periods available since 2002. The degree to which 

visibility is increasing can be measured by plotting average deciview values over time, then 

looking at the slope of the best-fit line through the points—the more negative the slope, the 

greater the rate of visibility improvement. Figure 5, which is a Microsoft Excel chart with linear 

trendline included, shows the plot of five-year average deciview values—as specified in

§51.308(g)(3)—over time for Wichita Mountains. Note Figure 5 is presented in two plots: 

Figure 5a is for 20 percent worst days and Figure 5b is for 20 percent best days. The set of fiveyear average plots for the other three Class I areas of interest can be found in Appendix G.

Figure 5b. Five-Year Average Visibility Impairment (in deciviews) for 

20% Best Days over Years 2002-2011 - Wichita Mountains Wilderness

As indicated in Figure 5, the slope for 20 percent worst days at Wichita Mountains is -0.4046 

dv/year. Likewise, for 20 percent best days the slope is -0.0774 dv/year. 

Next, the five-year average slopes are compared with the slopes of the so-called “glide paths” to 

natural visibility conditions in the year 2064. The glide paths for both 20 percent worst days and 

20 percent best days can be found at http://views.cira.colostate.edu/fed/DataWizard/Default.aspx, 

which is part of the official website for the Federal Land Manager Environmental Database

(FED). Figure 6, taken directly from the website, shows the glide paths (for 20 percent worst 

days and 20 percent best days) for Wichita Mountains; glide paths for the other three Class I 

areas of interest are included (represented in the case of Mingo Wilderness Area) in Appendix F.

year 2064 and the baseline values (found at the FED webpage). These results, along with the 

five-year average slopes for the four Class I areas of interest for Kansas, are presented in

Table 5.

Hercules-Glades -0.5737 -0.2575 -0.2829 -0.1358

Mingo -0.52 -0.2987 -0.42 -0.1387

Comparing slope values (five-year average versus glide path) allows the testing of whether or not 

visibility is improving at the rate assumed adequate to meet reasonable progress goals. The goal 

is for five-year average slopes to be more negative than the comparable glide path slope. 

Looking at the two pairs of slope values for Wichita Mountains shows the five-year average 

actual visibility improvement for 20 percent worst days (-0.4046 dv/year versus -0.2713 dv/year) 

is significant, with a slope 49 percent more negative than the glide path. On the other hand, the 

20 percent best day values show the actual visibility values improving at a rate slower than the 

glide path—31 percent less so. Of the four Class I areas examined, the 20 percent best day 

discrepancy for Wichita Mountains is the only case where visibility improvement for 20 percent

best days is not significantly improved.

3.4 Emissions Trend Analysis - 40 CFR §51.308(g)(4)

40 CFR §51.308(g)(4) requires that the five-year periodic report contain: “...an analysis 

tracking the change over the past 5 years in emissions of pollutants contributing to 

visibility impairment from all sources and activities within the State. Emissions changes 

should be identified by type of source or activity. The analysis must be based on the most 

recent updated emissions inventory, with estimates projected forward as necessary and 

appropriate, to account for emissions changes during the applicable 5-year period.”

A statewide emissions inventory of pollutants that are reasonably anticipated to cause, or 

contribute to, visibility impairment at any Class I area was required to be included in the initial 

regional haze SIP (40 CFR §51.308(d)(4)(v)). The initial Kansas Regional Haze SIP used a 

baseline year of 2002, based on the final 2002 National Emissions Inventory (NEI), and these 

values were projected to 2018. 2018 emissions estimates were made primarily using the 

Economic Growth Analysis System (EGAS6), MOBILE 6.2 vehicle emission modeling 

software, and the Integrated Planning Model (IPM) version 2.93 for electric generating units 

(EGUs) (cf. section 7.1). As indicated in several places in 40 CFR §51.308, the pollutants 

inventoried by Kansas were those that “may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute to 

any impairment of visibility,” namely ammonia (NH3), nitrogen oxides (NOx—NO and NO2), 

coarse particulates (PM10), fine particulates (PM2.5), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). 

Pollutants and combined source types (“all sources and activities” per 40 CFR §51.308(g)(4)) 

included in the initial Kansas Regional Haze SIP are reviewed in this five-year progress report, 

with the goal of estimating changes in anthropogenic air emissions from 2009 to 2013 (i.e., “over

the past 5 years”). The most recent comprehensive inventory is the 2011 NEI version 1 (version 

dated September 30, 2013). The 2011 inventory offers a recent and uniform platform for 

emissions comparisons, and combined with the 2002, 2005, and 2008 national inventories 

provides the logical data source to meet the requirements of 40 CFR §51.308(g)(4). 

Figures 7 through 11 below show the overall trends in air emissions from all Kansas sources and 

activities (i.e., from all point, nonpoint, onroad, and nonroad sources) for the five pollutants of 

interest. Each of the figures was created in Microsoft Excel, which was also used to show bestfit lines for viewing estimated emissions over years 2009–2013. Data sources for emissions can 

be found at the following URLs at the EPA ftp site:

Table 7 provides a summary of interpolated Kansas total annual emissions over this report’s fiveyear period (2009–2013) for the five pollutants of interest. Values in Table 6 were generated in 

Microsoft Excel using the FORECAST function (i.e., using the same linear regression as 

displayed in Figures 7 through 11). In addition to the interpolated values, differences in 

emissions of 2013 minus 2009 are displayed in the bottom row of Table 7 in order to show in 

absolute terms the decreases and increases in emissions over the five years of interest.

Based on the National Emissions Inventory results just presented, Kansas has seen both 

decreases and increases in anthropogenic air emissions over the years 2009 to 2013. Emissions 

of NOx and SO2—the primary contributors to visibility impairment from anthropogenic 

sources—are down significantly (10.0 percent for NOx and 59.6 percent for SO2), thanks to the 

Regional Haze agreements made with Westar Energy and KCP&L as discussed above. 

However, NH3 (ammonia) and PM emissions are up, and reasons for the increasing levels

recorded for these pollutants need to be addressed. 

In order to analyze emissions trends in the four inventories in greater detail, it is important to 

understand that each triennial inventory cycle brings with it certain differences in both how 

emissions are estimated, as well as changes in how the emissions data are aggregated. Examples 

of these differences include:

• For the 2005 NEI: “EPA developed the 2005 NEI v2 based on a reduced level of effort. 

Part of this reduced effort involved using some NEI 2002 v3 data in the NEI 2005 v2 as 

surrogates for emissions data representing 2005.”5

 For Kansas, this resulted in nearly all 

nonpoint emissions for 2005 remaining the same as for 2002. 

• For the 2008 NEI (beginning with version 2): “...updates are the use [of] a draft version 

of the MOVES model for onroad mobile sources, a review and update of hazardous air 

pollutant emissions, and additions of wildfires, prescribed burning and biogenic 

emissions.”6

Figures 12 through 16 below show trends in Kansas air emissions from the five most significant 

source types (sectors) for each of the five haze-related pollutants of interest, based on results of 

the 2011 NEI. Text following Figure 12 (ammonia) and Figures 14 and 15 (particulate matter) 

will discuss reasons for upward trends as described above. Note that figures were created in 

Microsoft Excel; underlying data tables can be found in Appendix H. Data sources for emissions 

can be found at the following URLs at the EPA website:

Figure 12. Kansas NH3 Emissions 2002-2011 - Five Largest Anthropogenic NEI Sectors 

As Figure 12 shows, the increase in ammonia, basically from the 2005 to the 2008 inventory, 

was due chiefly to the increase in estimated livestock waste emissions, a nonpoint sector. 

Recalling that 2005 NEI values typically copied 2002 estimates, the large emissions increase for 

this sector is explained by Kansas not adopting the (EPA-approved) CMU (for Carnegie Mellon 

University) model version 3.6 until the 2008 inventory. As explained in EPA’s documentation 

for the 2002 NEI: “Kansas, Minnesota, and Missouri included NH3 emissions for confined 

animal feeding operations in their point source inventories and adjusted their nonpoint source 

inventories to exclude the point source emissions. Therefore, their nonpoint source inventories 

were not replaced since the CMU model inventory is not adjusted for point source emissions.”7

 

Starting with the 2008 NEI, KDHE modified its definition of point sources to include only Title 

V and synthetic minor sources (i.e., only those emission sources submitting annual inventories to 

the Kansas Emissions Inventory). As a result, Kansas estimates for 2002 and 2005 were 

significantly less than predicted by using the CMU model alone, which KDHE initiated in 2008. 

A secondary cause for the jump in ammonia emissions from 2005 to 2011 was due to a 

discrepancy in how fires were categorized: prescribed fires (event sector) or agricultural field 

burning (nonpoint sector). Beginning in 2008, EPA corrected the classifying of fires on 

pastures—at least for the Flint Hills region of eastern Kansas—from “grass crop” residue 

burning (nonpoint sector) to prescribed burning (event sector). As a result, the 2002 and 2005 

NEI estimates for the two anthropogenic fire-related sectors (i.e., Prescribed Fires and 

Agricultural Field Burning) are inconsistent, and for trend analysis need to be summed into a 

single sector.

Figure 13. Kansas NOx Emissions 2002-2011 - Five Largest Anthropogenic NEI Sectors 

Figure 14. Kansas PM10 Emissions 2002-2011 - Five Largest Anthropogenic NEI Sectors 

Figure 13 shows a dramatic increase in NOx emissions in the oil and gas production sector—

from less than 10 tons in the 2002, 2005, and 2008 NEIs to more than 50,000 tons in the 2011 

NEI. While there was an increase in drilling activities seen in Kansas beginning around 2011, the 

primary reason for this jump in NOx emissions was EPA’s effort for the 2011 inventory cycle to 

improve data inputs in the oil and gas production sector. Figure 14 shows distinct changes in 

PM10 emissions trends for two sectors, again with breaks from 2005 to the 2008 NEI. As was 

already discussed for ammonia emissions under Figure 12, there was a correction made after 

2005 that shifted most of what had been classified as agricultural field burning to prescribed 

burning. Given that change, summing emissions for the two sectors show a trend in PM10 for

burning that is slightly upward: 99,292 tons (2002), 99,292 tons (2005), 64,308 tons (2008), and 

120,145 tons (2011). It is to be noted, however, that emissions from prescribed burning actually 

are quite variable from year to year, depending chiefly on fuel loading and weather conditions 

more than any other factor. 

The single largest source of Kansas PM10— the “Agriculture - Crops & Livestock Dust” sector—

displays a jump in PM10 emissions from just over 250,000 tons for 2002 and 2005 to 

approximately 415,000 tons for 2008 and 2011—a 66 percent increase. Reviewing the 

worksheets used for emissions calculations for this sector reveals that up through 2005, croprelated PM10 emission factors were provided for planting and harvesting only. Beginning in 

2008 (with EPA consultant E.H. Pechan & Associates-supplied spreadsheets), default PM 

emission factors supplied by EPA were to be used in conjunction with the total number of passes 

or tillings per year (e.g., five for winter wheat - conventional use or three for winter wheat - 

conservation use). Using two to five (instead of only two) passes in calculations for PM10

emissions for each crop resulted in significant increases from 2005 to 2008.

As expected, the trends seen in PM2.5 emissions follow those seen for PM10. Summing the firerelated sectors’ emissions yields a moderately upward PM2.5 trend: 75,167 tons (2002), 75,167 

tons (2005), 55,443 tons (2008), and 95,813 tons (2011). Recall, however, that fire emissions are 

highly variable from year to year. 

Agricultural tilling emissions of PM2.5 appear to have a greater 2005-to-2008 disparity than 

PM10. In addition to the number of passes issue discussed above, there is an additional reason. 

For the 2002 and 2005 inventories, the PM2.5/PM10 ratio used by EPA for agricultural tilling was 

0.15; however, beginning with the 2008 (Pechan-produced) inventory, the PM2.5/PM10 ratio 

became 0.20 (i.e., PM2.5 emissions were 20 percent of calculated PM10 values). As a 

consequence, a 33 percent jump in value for PM2.5 emissions starting in 2008 is to be expected 

due to the change made in the PM ratio.

3.5 Emissions Changes Impeding Visibility Improvement - 40 CFR §51.308(g)(5)

40 CFR §51.308(g)(5) requires that the five-year periodic report contain: “An assessment 

of any significant changes in anthropogenic emissions within or outside the State that 

have occurred over the past 5 years that have limited or impeded progress in reducing 

pollutant emissions and improving visibility.”

Over the period 2009–2013 there has been a steady decline in point source emissions of NOx and 

SO2 throughout the Midwest, especially due to sources installing controls to comply with present 

and near-future lowered air quality standards, the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule, and 

the Clean Air Interstate Rule. Table 8 shows state-level emissions of NOx and SO2 from the 

most significant point sources of those pollutants—large electric generating units (EGUs)—

located in Kansas and its four bordering states.8

As Table 8 shows, with the sole exception of increased NOx in Missouri over the five-year 

period, that NOx and SO2 emissions in Kansas and its bordering states from large EGUs have 

decreased significantly, with an overall decrease in NOx of 17.5 percent and decrease in SO2 of 

30.9 percent. 

In conjunction with the emissions trend analysis just seen in section 3.4, KDHE is not aware of 

anthropogenic emissions within or nearby Kansas that have occurred over the past five years that 

have limited or impeded progress in reducing pollutant emissions and improving visibility. 

3.6 SIP Sufficiency – 40 CFR §51.308(g)(6)

40 CFR §51.308(g)(6) requires that the five-year periodic report contain: “An assessment 

of whether the current implementation plan elements and strategies are sufficient to 

enable the State, or other States with mandatory Federal Class I areas affected by 

emissions from the State, to meet all established reasonable progress goals.”

EPA’s guidance document April 2013 document General Principles for the 5-Year Regional 

Haze Progress Reports for the Initial Regional Haze State Implementation Plans (Intended to 

Assist States and EPA Regional Offices in Development and Review of the Progress Reports)

9

includes the following text referencing this requirement: 

(h) Determination of the adequacy of existing implementation plan. At the same time 

the State is required to submit any 5-year progress report to the EPA in accordance 

with paragraph (g) of this section, the State must also take one of the following actions 

based upon the information presented in the progress report: 

(1) If the State determines that the existing implementation plan requires no 

further substantive revision at this time in order to achieve established goals 

for visibility improvement and emissions reductions, the State must provide to 

the Administrator a negative declaration that further revision of the existing 

implementation plan is not needed at this time. 

....

Where the visibility and emissions trends indicate substantial progress, we expect that 

this requirement will be satisfied with a simple negative declaration according to the first 

option. 

As discussed earlier in Section 3.2 there has been a dramatic decrease in both NOx and SO2 from 

Kansas point sources since 2002, particularly for the subject-to-BART units beginning in 2008, 

when regional haze agreements were signed and their implementation begun. Total annual 

emissions of NOx for Kansas subject-to-BART units fell 73 percent from 2002 to 2012. 

Similarly for SO2, total annual emissions fell 79 percent from 2002 to 2012. As mentioned in 

Section 3.4, the five-year period 2009–2013 has seen a drop in total anthropogenic emissions of 

NOx of 10 percent and of SO2 59.6 percent. These are substantial emissions reductions in the 

primary haze-causing pollutants NOx and SO2; therefore, KDHE declares that: (1) Kansas’ 

current implementation plan elements and strategies are sufficient to enable the State to meet all 

established reasonable progress goals; and (2) no substantive further revision to the initial 

Kansas Regional Haze SIP is needed at this time in order to achieve established goals for 

visibility improvement.

3.7 Monitoring Strategy – 40 CFR §51.308(g)(7)

40 CFR §51.308(g)(7) requires that the five-year periodic report contain: “A review of the 

State’s visibility monitoring strategy and any modifications to the strategy as necessary.”

Under Section 6.1 (Current Monitoring Strategy) of the current Kansas Regional Haze SIP, 

Section 6.1.1 (Measuring Visibility Data) reads:

Shortly after creation of the Central Regional Air Planning Association (CENRAP), 

the organization’s Monitoring Workgroup identified large visibility data voids in 

southern Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, southern Minnesota, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. 

Only five IMPROVE sites were located in the CENRAP region. Between 2000 and 

2003, five more IMPROVE sites and 15 IMPROVE Protocol sites (i.e., sites not 

managed by IMPROVE directly but by individual government or tribal 

organizations) were established in the CENRAP region. 

In conjunction with CENRAP and EPA Region 7, Kansas installed one IMPROVE 

protocol sampler at Cedar Bluff State Park in Trego County in the western part of 

the State, and another at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in the Flint Hills 

region of eastern Kansas. 

Since the time the original Regional Haze SIP was written, the following notes have been added

to KDHE’s annual monitoring Plan updates regarding the IMPROVE monitors in the State:

• 2010–2011 Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 

o 20-017-0001; Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve 

This site, which currently includes an Interagency Monitoring of Protected 

Visual Environments (IMPROVE) protocol sampler, was accepted by EPA 

as a rural NCore station. Relocation of this site to another part of the 

Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is likely, contingent upon pending 

negotiations with the National Park Service. This site’s operational start date 

will be contingent on additional funding made available to KDHE by EPA. 

The site is located at N 38.433611; W -96.55944, northwest of Strong City, 

Kansas on Highway 177. 

• 2011–2012 Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 

o 20-017-0001; Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve

This site operates as an Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual 

Environments (IMPROVE) protocol sampler. Relocation of this site to 

another part of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is likely, contingent 

upon pending negotiations with the National Park Service. In 2011, as a 

result of personnel and funding shortages, the department informed the EPA 

Region VII office that the Department was no longer interested in developing 

the rural NCore site at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in Chase 

County. The site is located at N 38.433611; W -96.55944, northwest of 

Strong City, Kansas on Highway 177. 

• 2012–2013 Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan 

o 20-017-0001; Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve 

This site operates as an Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual 

Environments (IMPROVE) protocol sampler. Relocation of this site to 

another part of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is likely, contingent 

upon pending negotiations with the National Park Service. The site is located 
27

at N 38.433611; W -96.55944, northwest of Strong City, Kansas on Highway 

177. 

o 20-195-0001; Cedar Bluff Reservoir 

This location was chosen in Western Kansas to serve as a background site for 

several pollutants, including SO2, ozone, and PM2.5. It also operates as an 

Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) 

protocol sampler site. The site is located at N 38.77027; W -99.76361, on the 

south side of Cedar Bluff Reservoir in Trego County. 

• 2013–2014 Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan

o 20-017-0001; Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve: 

This site operates as an Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual 

Environments (IMPROVE) protocol sampler. Relocation of this site to 

another part of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is likely, contingent 

upon pending negotiations with the National Park Service. The site is located 

at N 38.433611; W -96.55944, northwest of Strong City, Kansas on Highway 

177. 

o 20-195-0001; Cedar Bluff Reservoir: 

This location was chosen in Western Kansas to serve as a background site for 

several pollutants, including SO2, ozone, and PM2.5. It also operates as an 

Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) 

protocol sampler site. The site is located at N 38.77027; W -99.76361, on the 

south side of Cedar Bluff Reservoir in Trego County.

• 2014–2015 Kansas Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan

o 20-017-0001; Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve:

This site operates as an Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual 

Environments (IMPROVE) protocol sampler. The site is located at N 

38.433611; W -96.55944, northwest of Strong City, Kansas on Kansas 

Highway 177.

o 20-195-0001; Cedar Bluff Reservoir: 

This location was chosen in Western Kansas to serve as a background site for 

several pollutants, including SO2, ozone, and PM2.5. It also operates as an 

IMPROVE protocol sampler site. The site is located at N 38.77027; W -

99.76361, on the south side of Cedar Bluff Reservoir in Trego County. 

As the Kansas Department of Health and Environment faces increasingly constrained finances, 

consideration of the need to operate two IMPROVE sites within the state will continue to be 

factored into the annual planning process. 

3.8 Federal Land Manager (FLM) Coordination – 40 CFR §51.308(i) 

The Regional Haze Rule, at 40 CFR §51.308(i)(4), requires that states consult with federal land 

managers, “including development and review of implementation plan revisions and 5-year 

progress reports... .” In conformity with this requirement, KDHE provided the federal land 

managers a draft copy of this five-year update on November 25, 2014. Also, KDHE notified the 

FLMs of a 60-day review and comment period commencing November 26. A summary of FLM 

comments and responses is included in Appendix I to this document. 

KDHE will continue to coordinate and consult with FLMs during the development of future 

progress report and plan revisions, as well as during the implementation of programs having the 

potential to contribute to visibility impairment in mandatory Class I areas.
28

4. Conclusion

In accordance with 40 CFR §51.308(h), this five-year update provides justification for KDHE to 

hereby make a negative declaration, i.e., that further revision of the existing implementation plan 

is not needed at this time. This finding is based upon (a) current state and federal regulations of 

air pollutants, (b) significant reductions in Kansas of anthropogenic NOx and SO2 emissions, and 

(c) improvement in visibility at the Wichita Mountains Wilderness, as well as other nearby Class 

I areas, over the past five years (2009 to 2013).

Appendix B: KCP&L and Westar Energy Regional Haze Agreements

A1. KCP&L Agreement (partial) (signed 12/5/2007)

For complete text beyond the terms of agreement for emissions limits refer to 

http://www.epa.gov/region7/air/rules/kansas/KCPL_Regional_Haze_Agreement.pdf

AGREEMENT AND COMPLIANCE PLAN

22. The terms of this Agreement constitute an agreement pursuant to K.S.A. 65-3005 to satisfy future 

regulatory requirements imposed by the RHR and BART requirements. Nothing in this 

Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a release for any claim or cause of action for any 

New Source Review (NSR) or New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) liability under the 

Clean Air Act. 

23. KCP&L and KDHE agree that these emission limits for La Cygne Units 1 and 2 will meet or be 

less than the presumptive emission limits established by 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix Y, averaged 

for Units 1 and 2. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, within 5 years of EPA’s 

approval of the Kansas Regional Haze Implementation Plan, KCP&L agrees to install the 

emissions control and process equipment as expeditiously as possible, as required by 40 CFR 

51.308(e)(1)(iv) and in subparagraph E below, and to implement any necessary operating 

procedures in order to achieve the following: 

A. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx): 0.13 lb/mmBTU based on a 30-day rolling weighted average of 

both Units 1 and 2, excluding periods of startup and shutdown. During an extended 

outage of La Cygne Unit 2 (duration in excess of 10 weeks), KCP&L will submit a plan 

for Unit 1 to KDHE to achieve compliance with the presumptive NOx limit of 0.10 

lb/mmBTU on a 30-day rolling average excluding periods of startup and shutdown. 

B. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): 0.1 lb/mmBTU on a 30-day rolling average of both Units 1 and 2, 

excluding periods of statup and shutdown. 

C. PM10 filterable: 0.015 lbs/mmBTU, based on either an average of 3 one-hour stack tests 

annually using an approved test method for filterable PM10, or KCP&L will comply with 

KDHE approved Continuous Assurance Monitoring (CAM) plan for PM10 filterable 

before baghouses go online for La Cygne Unit 1 and La Cygne Unit 2, at the discretion of 

KCP&L.

D. PM10 total: 0.024 lbs/mmBTU, based on either an average of 3 one-hour stack test 

annually, using an approved test method for filterable PM10 and Method 202 or an 

approved test method for condensable PM as modified to remove artifact bias subject to 

KDHE approval, or KCP&L will comply with the KDHE approved CAM plan for PM10

total before baghouses go online for La Cygne Units 1 and 2, at the discretion of KCP&L.

E. Schedule: KCP&L will issue a Request For Proposals (RFP) for equipment needed to 

achieve the aforesaid emissions limits by December 31, 2008. The RFP will request that 

construction commence by December 31, 2010. KCP&L will install and operate BART 

as expeditiously as practical, but in no event later than 5 years after approval of the SIP or 

June 1, 2015, which ever date occurs first. 

24. KCP&L agrees to minimize excess emissions of air pollutants during startup, shutdown and 

malfunction by committing to the following actions:

A. During startup, pollution control equipment will be activated as soon as practical, within 

the manufacturer’s recommendations or following best engineering practices in the 

industry. 
32

B. During shutdown, pollution control equipment will be operated as long as practical, 

within the manufacturer’s recommendations or following best engineering practices in 

the industry. 

C. Good combustion and operating practices will be utilized to minimize excess air pollutant 

emissions during all startup, shutdown and malfunction conditions. 

25. KCP&L agrees to perform compliance verification procedures and recordkeeping requirements 

in accordance with 40 CFR 51.308(e)(1)(v) and 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix Y. 

26. The emission limits in this Agreement will be incorporated into any construction or operating 

permits issued to KCP&L for La Cygne Units 1 and 2. 

27. This Agreement shall be proposed by the State of Kansas for incorporation into the 

aforementioned Regional Haze Implementation Plan. 

A2. Westar Energy (Westar) Agreement (partial) (signed 2/29/2008)

For complete text beyond the terms of agreement for emissions limits refer to

http://www.epa.gov/region7/air/rules/kansas/Westar_Regional_Haze_Agreement.pdf

AGREEMENT AND COMPLIANCE PLAN

23. The terms of this Agreement constitute an agreement pursuant to K.S.A. 65-3005 to satisfy future 

regulatory requirements imposed by the RHR and BART requirements. Nothing in this 

Agreement shall constitute or be construed as a release for any claim or cause of action for any 

New Source Review (NSR) or New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) liability under the 

Clean Air Act. 

24. Westar agrees that emissions from the Jeffrey Energy Center (1490001) Units 1 and 2 will meet 

the presumptive limits established by 40 CFR 51 Appendix Y. 

25. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, within five (5) years of EPA’s approval of the 

Kansas Regional Haze State Implementation Plan, Westar agrees to install the emissions control 

and process equipment as expeditiously as possible in order to implement any necessary 

operating procedures and to achieve the air pollutant emission limits as specified for all of the 

units listed in Appendix A. The emission limits will become effective January 1, 2014. 

A. For Jeffrey Energy Center Units 1, 2 and 3, as required by 40 CFR 51.308(e)(1)(iv), 

Westar agrees within three (3) years of EPA’s approval of the Kansas Regional Haze 

State Implementation Plan to install any equipment and to implement any operating 

practices necessary to achieve the presumptive NOx and SO2 emission limits 

established under 40 CFR 51 Appendix Y. 

B. For Gordon Evans Energy Center Unit 2, Westar will implement an alternative 

control strategy that will achieve greater visibility improvement than BART, as 

outlined in the BART Five Factor Analysis which was submitted to KDHE in 

August, 2007. Westar will demonstrate compliance with the alternative control 

strategy of switching from No. 6 fuel oil to natural gas by submitting annual 

certifications of compliance verifying that natural gas was the only fuel combusted at 

Gordon Evans Energy Center Unit 2 for the preceding year, except as follows: 

C. When the natural gas supplier to Gordon Evans Energy Center Unit 2 takes 

emergency action which could result in an impact to electric system reliability, 

Westar may combust No. 6 fuel oil for the duration of that condition. Westar will 

diminish the existing supply of No. 6 fuel oil, and will replace any fuel oil used with 

a fuel oil containing 1% or less sulfur content. Westar may burn a limited amount of 

fuel oil during non-emergencies to assure that the Gordon Evans Energy Center Unit 

2 functions properly during emergencies. 
33

26. Westar agrees to minimize excess emissions of air pollutants during startup, shutdown and 

malfunction situations by committing to the following actions:

A. During startup, pollution control equipment will be activated as soon as practical, 

within the manufacturer’s recommendations or following best engineering practices 

in the industry;

B. During shutdown, pollution control equipment will be operated as long as practical, 

within the manufacturer’s recommendations or following best engineering practices 

in the industry; 

C. Good combustion and operating practices will be utilized to minimize excess air 

pollutant emissions during all startup, shutdown and malfunction conditions. 

27. Westar agrees to perform compliance verification procedures and recordkeeping requirements in 

accordance with 40 CFR 51.308(e)(1)(v) and 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix Y. 

28. The emissions limits in this Agreement will be incorporated into any construction or operating 

permits issued to Westar for any and all facilities listed in Appendix A. 

29. This Agreement shall be proposed by the State of Kansas for incorporation into the 

aforementioned Regional Haze State Implementation Plan.

Appendix I: Responsiveness Summary

Kansas 2014 Regional Haze SIP Revision with First Five-Year Progress Report

Notice of public hearing with required thirty-day comment period was published in the Kansas 

Register on October 23, 2014 (Vol. 33, No. 43, October 23, 2014, 1091-1092). No request for a 

hearing was received by November 25th so the scheduled hearing was cancelled and announced 

on the KDHE website at http://www.kdheks.gov/bar/planning/pnplanning/html. The public 

notice and cancellation announcement are included in Attachment A to this summary. 

In a collaborative effort, comments were provided to KDHE by two federal land managers 

(FLM) after reviewing our Regional Haze SIP Revision with First 5-Year Progress Report. 

Their input was accepted and incorporated into Sections 3.2 (Emissions Reductions) and Section 

3.4 (Emissions Trend Analysis) of the final SIP revision where appropriate. The comment 

documents received are included as Attachment B along with a letter of support received from 

the USDA Forest Service endorsing Kansas’ efforts to implement and maintain attainment of air 

quality standards for regional haze reduction. 

 KDHE responses to the FLM’s comments are included below. 

Bret Anderson, Federal Land Manager, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, National Atmospheric 

Modeling/Regional Haze Coordinator, Fort Collins, CO, provided the following comments. 

COMMENT: Section 3.2 (Emissions Reductions)

On page 11 of this section, the KDHE briefly describes the approach that was taken for analyzing 

reasonable progress or “beyond BART” sources. We recommend that the KDHE expand the 

description to include methods used to construct the delta-deciview (ddv) numbers and any 

“bright line” decision points used with The $/ddv metric. 

 

We amended the final draft of the progress report by adding text within the list describing 

the selection of reasonable progress units as follows (added text in brackets under step 4): 

Sources not subject to BART (“reasonable progress units”) 

In section 10.2 of its initial implementation plan, titled “Selection of Kansas 

Sources for Reasonable Progress Evaluation,” Kansas developed a process to 

fairly select stationary sources not subject to BART that could contribute to 

reasonable progress goals. This process was:

1. Identify all Kansas emission units that had greater than or equal to 500 tons 

for NOx and/or SO2 

2. Identify the most effective control technologies and screen for excessive cost

3. Model visibility impacts and screen for low-impact facilities

4. Calculate, screen, and rank based on cost per ton per deciview difference 

(delta deciview, or ∆dv) [Note cost of controls were taken from EPA’s 

AirControlNET tool (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ecas/AirControlNET.htm), while 
76

∆dv values were found by running the CALPUFF model twice (with pre- and 

post-control emissions inputs) and finding the difference in deciview outputs.] 

5. Screen for non-cost statutory factors, i.e., time necessary for compliance, 

energy and non-air quality environmental impacts of compliance, and 

remaining useful life

6. Re-sort and make final ranked list of potential facilities

 

The results of this process were summarized in Table 10.12 of the SIP, and sources are presented 

in Table 3. 

Although we recall looking to find “bright line” break points in our search for “reasonable” 

reasonable progress units, this need was basically rendered moot by using the process as finally 

developed. 

COMMENT: Section 3.3 (Visibility Conditions)

While Kansas has no Class I and much of the documentation focuses upon conditions at closest 

Class I area, Wichita Mountains located in Oklahoma, we also recommend that KDHE consider 

inclusion of a discussion on the apparent trend of increasing deciviews for years 2010-2011 for 

the 20% best days at other neighboring Class I areas such as Caney Creek (CACR) and Hercules 

Glades (HEGL). While the 5-year moving average at CACR and HEGL shows a consistent trend 

down, we conjecture that the trend down may be more related to economic conditions of the 

time period of 2008–2009 and how these affect the 5-year average rather than the realization 

of emissions reductions, and that conditions on the 20% best days may return to values closer to 

the pre-2006 timeframe once these years are not factored into the 5-year moving average. This 

trend should also be monitored as you move into the 2018 planning cycle.

As mentioned in the progress report, “Kansas emission sources were identified by 

Oklahoma as potential contributors” to visibility impairment at Wichita Mountains in our 

consultation for the original SIP. No other state with Class I areas did the same. This was 

the primary reason for our focus on Wichita Mountains, and why WIMO got the “prime 

spot” in the report. Information for the other Class I areas of interest was included in the 

progress report—but in Appendix F (Data Tables and Glide Paths for Caney Creek, 

Hercules-Glades, and Mingo Wilderness Areas) and Appendix G (Five-Year Average 

Visibility Impairment for Caney Creek, Hercules-Glades, and Mingo Wilderness Areas).

As to the conjecture about economics driving the downward trend in visibility 

impairment at sites in Missouri and Arkansas, we would respectfully decline adding that 

discussion to the progress report at this time, but instead consider it in the 2018 SIP.

Patricia Brewer, Federal Land Manager, U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park 

Service, Air Resources Division, Denver, CO, provided the following comments. 

COMMENT 1. (Section 3.3 Visibility Conditions)

Define Oklahoma's 2018 visibility reasonable progress goal for the 20% worst days at Wichita 

Mountains and compare current visibility to the 2018 goal.

In the Kansas progress report, we showed the current visibility values for Wichita 

Mountains in Figures 5a and 5b (SIP p. 15); and the glide path for haze at Wichita 

Mountains (SIP p. 16) in Figure 6 Wichita Mountains natural levels of haze and its 

composition on the 20% best and 20% worst haze days.

The report did not present a table comparing current (i.e., the most recent 2011) deciview 

values with the corresponding “natural level” on the glide path, since the “natural” value 

lies along an artificially nonlinear path, and has to be found by graphical interpolation. 

Instead, we focused on comparing actual vs. natural slopes of the deciview values, which 

are more informative. 

To address your question, here are estimates for 2011 20% best- and worst-day values, 

found using the following adaptation of Figure 6: 

Thus, actual vs. natural for 20% best days are approximately 9.6 dv vs. 8.8 dv, and for 

20% worst days are approximately 22.1 dv vs. 21.2 dv—meaning 2011 actuals are 

slightly above natural values (0.8 dv for 20% best days and 0.9 dv for 20% worst days). 

COMMENT 2. (Section 3.3 Visibility Conditions)

In addition to the visibility trends reported for the 20% best visibility days at Wichita Mountains, 

it would be helpful to define pollutant contributions to haze and changes in pollutant 

contributions over the past decade. An example is enclosed for your consideration.
78

Agreed. In preparing the progress report we did run several queries—including aerosol 

trends—at http://views.cira.colostate.edu/fed/. We concluded, however, that the 

discussions of trends longer than the five years being looked at for the report would be 

more appropriate for the 2018 SIP, particularly in terms of seeing differences over ten 

years’ time (i.e., from SIP to SIP).

COMMENT 3. (Section 3.4 Emissions Trend Analysis) 

In the first paragraph on page 20 that describes Table 7, isn't the reduction for sulfur dioxide 60 

percent and not 6.0 percent? 

Thank you for the correction. The sentence will be amended to read: “Emissions of NOx

and SO2—the primary contributors to visibility impairment from anthropogenic 

sources—are down significantly (10.0 percent for NOx and 59.6 percent for SO2), thanks 

to the Regional Haze agreements made with Westar Energy and KCP&L as discussed 

above.” 

COMMENT 4. (Section 3.4 Emissions Trend Analysis) 

In addition to Table 7 and Figures 12 through 16, please provide a summary of emissions for 

each of the five major pollutants, by major emission sectors (point, area, mobile onroad, mobile 

nonroad) for 2002, 2008, 2011, and 2018. 

Please refer to the progress report’s Appendix H, “Data Tables for the 2002, 2005, 2008, 

and 2011 National Emissions Inventory (NEI) for Kansas Nonpoint Sources.” With the 

development of the EIS, EPA has begun releasing emissions via 60 “EIS emission 

sectors,” which do not always align with the major (but now older) 

point/nonpoint/onroad/nonroad NEI sectors. Since the newer EIS sectors are significantly 

more refined than the older system (and since EPA will apparently be using these going 

forward in time), we are using them as well. 

Also, we recognize that we did not provide emissions estimates for 2018 as you request. 

In this regard, our understanding was that the last year for the period under study in this 

progress report was 2013, which we surmised would be best estimated via linear 

regression using NEI years 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011.

COMMENT 5. (Section 3.4 Emissions Trend Analysis) 

Presenting the 2018 emissions that were used in regional modeling to set 2018 visibility 

reasonable progress goals will support the conclusion that emissions reductions are on track to 

meet 2018 projections.

Agreed. Actually, we didn’t think about using the Access PSAT tool for support in the 

progress report. Doing so now shows the following, based on tool-charted output for 

2018 Kansas total SO2 and NOx: 
79

From the tool-created charts:

 Est. 2018 SO2 from point sources ~ 3,200 tons/day = 1,168,000 tons/yr 

 Est. 2018 SO2 from nonpoint sources ~ 510 tons/day = 186,200 tons/yr 

 Est. 2018 NOx from point sources ~ 430 tons/day = 157,000 tons/yr 

 Est. 2018 NOx from nonpoint sources ~ 120 tons/day = 43,800 tons/yr 

 Est. 2018 NOx from onroad sources ~ 70 tons/day = 25,600 tons/yr 

 Est. 2018 NOx from nonroad sources ~ 110 tons/day = 40,200 tons/yr 

Compare and contrast these with actual 2011 NEI emissions (anthropogenic emissions 

crosswalked to 4 sectors): 

 Actual 2011 SO2 from point sources = 46,900 tons/yr (1,121,100 tons less than 

predicted) 

 Actual 2011 SO2 from nonpoint sources = 3,000 tons/yr (183,200 tons less than 

predicted) 

 Actual 2011 NOx from point sources = 93,300 tons/yr (63,700 tons less than predicted) 

 Actual 2011 NOx from nonpoint sources = 107,000 tons/yr (63,200 tons more than 

predicted — but note 2011 saw a large jump in NOx from oil & gas production with 

introduction of EPA inventory tool) 

 
80

 Actual 2011 NOx from onroad sources = 62,300 tons/yr (36,700 tons more than 

predicted — but note change to MOVES model increased NOx estimates) 

 Actual 2011 NOx from nonroad sources = 37,600 tons/yr (2,600 tons less than 

predicted)
