MARYLAND CLEAN AI R ACT SECTIONS 110(a)(2) AND 128 

# Background A State Implementation Plan (SIP) is a plan for eachstate that identifies how that state will attain and maintain the primary and secondary Nationa l Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The SIP contains regulations, s ource-specific requirements, non-regulatory items such as plans and inventories, and other types of submittals designed to satisfy requirements promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The initial SIPs for states were approved on May 31, 1972. SIPs may be revised by the state with EPA approval. The federally enforceable SIP for the State of Maryland is co mpiled under 40 CFR Part 52 Subpart V. Section 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Ac t requires that each SIP provide for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS. This section also requires that within three years of the promul gation of a NAAQS, a state must adopt and submit such a plan to EPA. These “infrastructure SIPs” provide assu rances of state resources and authorities, and where necessary establish the basic state programs, to implement, maintain, and enforce new or revised standards. This document summarizes where the §110(a)(2) requirements for the 2010 revised NO 2 

### NAAQS are addressed in Maryland’s current SIP or pending SIP revisions. This submittal addresses Maryland's obli gations under §128 for all NAAQS and addresses §110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act specifi cally for the following standard: NO 2 

### : On January 22, 2010, EPA substantially strengthened the health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide (NO 2

5 Maryland's prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) requirements are under COMAR 26.11.06.14, with related definitions under COMAR 26.11.01.01B(37).

Air Quality Planning Program Maryland's Air Quality Planning Program (AQPP) write s state implementation plans and regulations to reduce emissions and achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six "criteria" air pollutants : ground-level ozone, particulate matter, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The AQPP also implements federal, regional, local, and state greenhouse gas emissions reduction programs, including implementing the requirements of the Maryland Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Act of 2009 and managing Maryland's involvement in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The AQPP consists of three divisions covering its different program areas: (1) Planning and Policy (2) Regulation Development (3) Climate Change Planning and Policy: State Implementation Plans The Planning and Policy Division develops air quality plans, also called state implementation plans, which are designed to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, and to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas cleaner than the standards. The state implementation plans are listed below in chronological order with the latest documents first. Some SIPs have many appendices, but each distinct SIP on the list is identified with the word “Document” followed by the individual SIP’s name below that and any appendices subsequently. Note: Maryland's State Implementation Plans are view able in Adobe Acrobat Reader (pdf) format. To view the documents, you will have to download the Adobe Acrobat Reader

Good Afternoon. My name is Randall Carroll. I am a Natural Resources Planner in the Planning and Policy Division, Air Quality Planning Program of the Air & Radiation Management Administration, Maryland Department of the Environment. This public hearing is related to the air quality plan entitled the Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2 

### ) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards

. This public hearing is being held pursuant to federa l law found at 42 U. S. C. § 7410(a) and 40 CFR Parts 51.102 and 251. It is also being held in conformance with the State Administrative Procedure Act, under the State Government Article, beginning at Section 10-101. Notice of this public hearing appeared on the Maryla nd Department of the Environment's website on May 9, 2013, and remained on the website to the date of today's hearing. Copies of each of the public hearing notices and the proposed Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2 

### ) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards will be part of the formal hearing record. Access to the proposed document was made available via the website of the Maryland Department of the Environment. Hard copies were also available at the Maryland Department of the Environment. The purpose of this hearing is to provide the public with an opportunity to formally comment on the proposed document. Summary of the Maryland State Implementation Plan for Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2) for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) and Section 128 for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards The Clean Air Act was passed in 1970 to protect public health and welfare. Congress amended the Act in 1990 to establish requirements for areas not meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Clean Air Act Amendments established a process for evaluating air quality in each region and identifying nonattainment areas according to the severity of its air pollution problem. The Clean Air Act sets health standards for six ambient pollutants: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, lead and particulate matter. The Environmental Protection Agency establishes rules and regulations to implement the Clean Air Act.

### 2 The purpose of this document is to examine Maryland’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) and determine if all necessary implementation, maintenance, and enforcement measures for the revised NO 2 

### National Ambient Air Quality Standard are in place. Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act provides a detailed listing of various requirements for state implementation plans regarding the national ambient air quality standards. In this SIP document, each subparagraph from (A) through (M) is detailed, with various provisions supporting the requirements. The MDE has ve rified its authority, through this document, to implement the NAAQS. In addition, the purpose of this SIP document is to address the Clean Air Act Section 128 requirements for all criteria pollutants’ NAAQS in relation to state boards and agency heads, and disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. The attached State Implementation Plan addresses Maryland's obligations under §128 for all NAAQS and addresses §110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act for the revised NO 2 

### National Ambient Air Quality Standard.

CONSIDERATION OF COMMENTS The Department will consider all pertinent comments, and revise the proposed plan if necessary, before making a final decision to adopt the plan and submit it to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval as a Maryland State Implementation Plan. Oral and written comments may be presented at this hearing. The 30-day public comment period that began on May 9, 2013, for receipt of all comments to the plan will close at 5:00 PM today.
