### Responses to Comments Received During the Public Comment Period

September 7, 2008 through January 13, 2009 Proposed Revisions to Air Quality Rules, Chapter 391-3-1 On September 7 and December 14, 2008, EPDissued public notices requesting comments on proposed revisions to the Georgia Rules forAir Quality,Part 391-3-1- .01(rrrr) - "PM2.5" or "Fine Particulate Matter," Part 391-3-1- .01(ssss) - "PM2.5 Emissions," Subpart 391-3-1- .02(2)(vv)

- Multipollutant Control for Electric Utility SteamGenerating Units, Subpart 391-3-1- .02(2)(uuu)

- Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Electric Utility SteamGenerating Units, and Rule 391-3-1- .04 - Air Pollution Episodes. Written comments were received during the public comment period. A public hearing was held at 7:00 p.m . on October 9, 2008, in the EPDTraining Center located at 4244 International Parkway, Suite 116, Atlanta, Georgia 30354. Comments received as of January 13, 2009, are summarized in this memo. Fort Benning submitted comments to Georgia EPD during the public comment period ending January 13, 2009 regarding proposed changes to Georgia Rule 391-3-1- .04. Comments were received via e-mail on January 13, 2009 . Comment -1 : For nitrogen dioxide, the contaminant concentration levels for the Alert and Warning situations are identical ; i .e., 2.260 micrograms per cubic meter for the 1-hour average and 565 micrograms per cubic meter for the 24-hour average is listed at both 391-3-1- .04(1)(a)(vi) and at 391-3-1- .04(1)(b)(vi) . Please revise. Response -1 : The commenter highlights a typographical error in the draft rule. The concentration levels should be set in accordance with 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix L. The Alert concentration level for nitrogen dioxide should be 1,130 micrograms percubic meter (0.6 ppm), 1-hour average, and 282 microgram per cubic meter (0.15 ppm), 24-hour average. This typographical errorwill be corrected during a future rulemaking. The contaminant concentration level for the Warning situation is correct and no change is needed. Comment -2: For the other contaminants addressed in the proposed rule, it appears that the concentration levels that trigger the three categories related to Air Pollution Episodes are primarily based on the current Air Quality Index (AQI) prepared by the U.S. EPA . Concentration levels for sulfur dioxide, particulate matter 10 microns or less, and carbon monoxide nearly mirror the AQI categories of unhealthy, very unhealthy and hazardous; however the concentration levels for particulate matter 2.5 microns or less do not correspond to the AQI breakpoints. The Warning and Emergency levels for PM2.5 are noticeably lower and more restrictive than those provided in the AQI . For ozone, the proposed rule uses concentrations in parts per billion rather than parts per million used in the NAAQS and AQI standards, which can be confusing, but it seems the proposed concentrations are lower and more restrictive than provided by the AQI breakpoints. Fort Benning requests that either the proposed rule B-12

### Chapter 391-3-1 Rules for Air Quality Control

concentration levels closely follow the AQI breakpoints for all contaminants, or that an explanation for the deviation for PM2.5 and ozone be provided. Also, we recommend including the parts per million concentration levels for ozone. Response -2: The contaminant concentrations for sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (10 microns or less) come directly from 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix L rather than the federal AQI regulation or most recent U.S. EPAAQI calculator. The U .S. EPA has not yet established contaminant concentration levels for PM2.5 in Part 51 Appendix L. In addition, the U .S. EPA has not proposed or promulgated a finding regarding whether or not the current ozone ambient concentrations in Appendix L should be revised with respect to the most recent 8-hour ozone standard. The lack of (1) federally approved contaminant concentration levels for PM2.5 and (2) federal decision on the validity of the current Appendix L ozone concentrations left Georgia EPDwith the task of developing their own levels based, in part, on the most recent version of the U.S. EPA AQI calculator for PM2 .5 and the ozone standards. The U.S. EPA AQI calculator sets lower AQI values for the most recent PM2.5 and ozone NAAQSwhen compared to older versions of these same NAAQS . With that in mind, Georgia EPD proposed PM2.5 and ozone ambient concentration levels that were thought to be protective of public health andthat were consistent with the intention of 40 CFRPart 51 Subpart Hand Part 51 Appendix L. The rule is not revised based on this comment. Comment -3: Fort Benning requests that Georgia EPD clarify Georgia Rule 391-3-1- .04 by stating that contaminants subject to Air Pollution Episode determinations are those for which National Ambient Air Quality Standards have been established. Specifically the recommendations is to replace "air standards" with "National Ambient Air Quality Standards" in that provision. Response -3: The U .S. EPA implementing regulation for this state rule [40 CFR Part 51 Subpart H] does not use the phrase "National AmbientAir Quality Standards" in reference to the air pollutants regulated. Therefore the rule is not revised based on this comment. Comment -4: Proposed changes to 391-3-1- .04(3) refer to the Emergency Air Episode Plan for the State of Georgia, however, this does not seemto be available on your website and was not retrievable by a general internet search. Please provide a copy of that Plan. Response -4: The Emergency Air Episode Plan for the State of Georgia is available to the public and EPDwill send a copy of this plan to Fort Benning. The content of the "Emergency Air Episode Plan for the State of Georgia" is based in part on 40 CFRPart 51 Appendix L.

. Couch Director, Environmental Protection Division FROM : Teresa Shiflett Ombudsman, Small Business Environmental Assistance Program SUBJECT: Economic Impact of Proposed Amendments to the Rules forAir Quality Control

Pertaining to Rule 391-3-1 The Administrative Procedures Act requires that, in the formation and adoption of any rules whichwill have an economic impact on businesses in the State, attempts be made to reduce the economic impact of the Rule on small businesses which are independently owned and operated, are not dominant in the field and employ 100 employees or less. The statute specifically requires that four actions be considered in reducing the economic impact . These four actions are: a. Establish different requirements or reporting requirements or timetables for small businesses; b. Clarify, consolidate or simplify the compliance and reporting requirements under the Rule for small businesses; c. Establish performance rather than design standards for small businesses; or d. Exempt small businesses fromanyor all requirements of the Rules. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) is proposing amendments to the Rules for Air Quality Control, Chapter 391-3-1 (Air Quality Rules) .

.5 is added. In consideration of thefour actions required in the State statutefor the proposed changes to the Air Quality Rules, we offer the following comments on the proposed rule amendments: 1 . Different compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses: This issue is not germanefor the proposed rule changes. 2. Consolidate and/or simplify compliance or reporting requirements for small businesses: An acceptable record keeping template for sources subject to proposed amendments related to maintaining records [Rule 391-3-1- .02(2)(kkk)16.] is recommended to simplify compliance standards for the source and for EPDstaff performing inspections. 3 . Performance rather than design standards for small businesses: This issue is not germane for the proposed rule changes. 4 . Exemptions for small businesses: This issue is not germanefor the proposed rule changes. In addition, the Administrative Procedures Act requires that ". ..in the formulation and adoption of any rule, an agency shall choose an alternative that does not impose excessive regulatory costs on any regulated person or entity which costs could be reduced by a less expensive alternative that fully accomplishes the stated objectives of the statutes which are the basis of the proposed rule." In general, the proposed rules resolve conflicts with Federal requirements and provide clarification for affected industry sources. We have carefully evaluated the impact of the proposed rule amendments upon the regulated community, and, after careful consideration of same, have determined that the proposed rule amendments do not impose excessive regulatory costs on any regulated person or entity, which costs could be reduced by a less expensive alternative that fully accomplishes the stated objectives of the Georgia Air Quality Act.

(1) General : In order to prevent the excessive buildup of air contaminant concentrations during an Air Pollution Episode great enough to cause danger to the public health, the Director will proclaimthat anAir Pollution Episode exists when the accumulation of air contaminants in any place is attaining or has attained levels which could, if such levels are sustained or exceeded, lead to a substantial threat to the health of persons in the specific area affected. The proclamation of an Air Pollution Episode can be for a specific, limited area affected by certain emissions. In making this determination, the Directorwill be guided by the following criteria: B-32Chapter 391-3-1 Rules forAir Quality Control

(a) Alert: The Director will proclaimthat an Air PollutionAlert exists when anyone of the following air contaminant concentrations is measured at any monitoring site and meteorological conditions are such that pollutant concentrations can be expected to remain at these levels for 12 or more hours or can be expected to increase or, for ozone when the situation is likely to recurwithin the next 24 hours: (i) Sulfur Dioxide - 800micrograms per cubic meter (0.3 parts per million), 24-hour average. (ii) Particulate Matter 10 microns or less (PM ,o) - 350 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour average. (iii) Particulate Matter 2.5 microns or less (PM 2-5) - 150 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour average. (iv) Carbon Monoxide - 17 milligrams per cubic meter (15 parts per million), 8-hour average.

s per cubic meter (0.3 parts per million), 24-hour average. (b) Warning: The Director will proclaimthat anAir Pollution Warning exists when any oneof thefollowing air contaminant concentrations is measured at any monitoring site and meteorological conditions are such that pollutant concentrations can be expected to remain at these levels for 12 or more hours or can be expected to increase or for ozone, when the situation is likely to recur within the next 24 hours unless control actions are taken: (i) Sulfur Dioxide - 1 ,600micrograms per cubic meter (0.6 parts per million), 24-hour average. (ii) Particulate Matter 10 microns or less (PM ~o) - 420 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour average. (iii) Particulate Matter 2.5 microns or less (PM z-S) - 200micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour average. (iv) Carbon Monoxide - 35 milligrams per cubic meter (30 parts per million), 8-hour average.

(vi) Nitrogen Dioxide 1 2 , 260micrograms per cubic meter (1 .2 parts per million) 1-hour average. 2 565 micrograms per cubic meter (0.3 parts per million) 24-hour average. B-33Chapter 391-3-1 Rules forAir Quality Control

(c) Episode Criteria - Emergency: The Director will proclaimthat anAir Pollution Emergency exists when any oneof thefollowing contaminant concentrations is measured at any monitoring site and meteorological conditions are such that pollutant concentrations can be expected to remain at these levels for 12 or more hours or can be expected to increase, or for ozone, when the situati on is likely to recurwithin the next 24 hours, unless control actions are taken: (i) Sulfur Di oxide - 2,100micrograms per cubic meter (0.8 parts per million), 24-hour average. (ii) Particulate Matter 10 microns or less (PM ,o)- 500 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour averaqe- (iii) Particulate Matter 2.5 microns or less (PM _2.5) - 210 micrograms per cubic meter, 24-hour aver_a_qe. (iv) Carbon Monoxide - 46 milligrams per cubic meter (40 parts per million), 8-hour average. (v) Ozone (03) - 250parts per billion, 8-hour average. (vi) Nitroqen Dioxide 1 . 3,000 microqrams p er cubic meter (1 .6 parts per million), 1-hour average. 2 . 750micrograms percubic meter (0.4 parts per million), 24-hour average. (d) Episode Criteria -Termination: Once proclaimed by the Director, an air pollution episode level will remain in effect until the criteria for air contaminant concentrations applicable to the respective level are no longe_r met._ At such time, the next lower status will be assumed. (e) Status Declaration Authority: The Director shall have the authority to make public declarations ofAir Pollution Alert, Air Pollution Warning, and Air Pollution Emergency Status [as defined in Emergency Air Episode Plan for the State of Georgia (dated July 2008)1 as the Director _or acient deems appropriate. (2) Emission Reduction Standby Plans: (a) Upon the request of the Director, any source owner, operator, or lessee shall prepare and furnish to the Director a written Emission Reduction Standby Plan for use in reducing the emission of air contaminants when the source is notified of the existence of an Air Pollution Warning or Emergency in its area of influence. Such plans shall identify the sources of air contaminants, the amount of reduction to be achieved, the method by which the reduction will be accomplished, and the times required to put each such reduction step into effect. The plan will specify progressively more stringent control actions to be taken at each of the air pollution episode levels. The submitted Emission Reduction Standby Plan shall be subiect to review and approval by the Director. If the plan is ludged to be inadequate by the Director, it shall be disapproved and an amended plan will be prepared and resubmitted by the source owner, operator, or lessee. (b) When notified by the Director of the existence of an Air Pollution Episode of Warning o Emergency in an area influenced by its emissions, the source owner, operator, or lessee shall B-34Chapter 391-3-1 Rules forAir Quality Control

immediately put into effect the control actions enumerated in the approved Emission Reduction Standby Plan on file with the Director, as appropriate for thespecific episode level in effect. (c) During an Air Pollution Episode ofWarning or Emergency Status, Emission Reduction Standby Plans as required by Subparagraph (2) shall be made available on the premises to any person authorized to enforce the provisions of applicable rules and regulations. (3) Emission Reduction Measures: Emission reduction measures outlined in the Emergency Air Episode Plan for theState of Georgia (dated July 2008) may be taken by the Director upon his or herdeclaration that an Air Pollution Episode exists for any air contaminants for which air standards have been adopted.
