### New Mexico's Proposed Infrastructure Certification for The 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide (N02) 

### NAAQS Revision

Executive Summary

A State ImplementationPlan (SIP) identifieshow the state will attain andmaintaintheprimaryand secondaryNational Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The SIP contains regulations, source-specific requirements, non-regulatory items such as plans and inventories, and insomecases additional requirements to satisfyregulations promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The initial SIPs for states were approved byEPA on May 31, 1972. A state may revise its SIP with EPA approval as necessary. The federally enforceable SIP for New Mexico is compiled in 40 CFR Part 52 Subpart GG.

Theenclosed SIP certification matrix outlinestherequirements ofsection 110(a)(2)(A) through (M) ofthefederal CleanAirAct (CAA) and addresses how New Mexico will implement, maintain and enforcetherevised Nitrogen Dioxide (NO:l) NAAQS which was promulgatedJanuary 22, 2010 (75 FR 6474, Feb. 9, 2010)).
Legislative authority for New Mexico's air qualityprogramis codified in Chapter74 (Environmental Improvement) ofthe New Mexico Statutes, which gives the State Environmental ImprovementBoard and the Environment Departmentthe authority to implementthe CAA 

### inNew Mexico.

The regulatory authority to implement CAAprograms is contained in the New Mexico Administrative Code(NMAC), specifically Chapter 2 ofTitle 20 for Air Quality. Theseregulations

are part ofthe approved New Mexico SIP and cited in40 CFR52.1620(c) unless otherwise stated.

Thoserequirements ofCAA 

### § IIO(a)(2) that are in the approved SIP orrecently submitted SIP revisions relate to enforceable emission limits and schedules for compliance; monitoring, source testing and emissions reporting; recordkeeping and reportingrequirements; andpermit fees. Some requirements, such as intergovernmental consultation, airqualitymodeling, and compliance with Part D ofTitle I ofthe CAA, are fulfilled during thedevelopment ofattainment SIP revisions, ratherthan infrastructure SIPs.

### Mexico's Requirements The New Mexico Environmental Improvement Act, found in Chapter74, Article I ofthe New Mexico Statutes Annotated 1978 (NMSA), created the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and theNew Mexico Environmental Improvement Board (EIB). The New Mexico Air

. Quality Control Act codified at NMSA 1978, 

### § 74-2 et seq., delegates authority to the E!B to 

## i adopt, promulgate, publish, amend and repeal regulations consistent with the AirQuality

Control Act to attain and maintain NAAQS and prevent orabate airpollution. The Air Quality Control Act also designates the NMED as the State's airpollution control agency and the Environmental Improvement Act provides NMED with enforcement authority. See NMSA 1978, 

### §§ 74-2-2.C, 74-2-5.1,74-2-5.2. Chapter2 ofTitle 20 ofthe New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC) establishes NMED as the State's airpollution control agency and its enforcement authority, referencing the NMSA 1978 (See also 44 FR 21019, April 9, 1979; revised 49 FR 44101, November 2, 1984; recodification approved in 62 FR 50516, September 126, 1997) (approvingvarious statutory andregulatoryprovisions ofNew Mexico's SIP).

The EIB has promulgated rules to limit and control emissions ofnitrogen oxides (NOx). These rules include emission limits, control measures, permits, fees, and compliance schedules and are

New Mexico's Requirements New Mexico maintains and operates a multi-station N02 network to measure ambient levels. 

## i All monitoring data is measured using EPA approved methods as either Reference or Equivalent : monitors. All monitors are subjected to the quality assurance requirements of40 CFR Part 58, \ Appendix A, and are located at sites that have met the minimum sitingrequirements ofPart 58, 

# I Appendix E. All data is submitted to EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) in accordance with the · schedule prescribed by 40 CFR Part 58.

New Mexico's Statewide Air Quality Surveillance Network was approved by EPAon August 6, 1981 (46 FR 40005), and consists ofstations that measure ambient concentrations ofthe six criteriapollutants, including N02. The air quality surveillancenetwork undergoes annual review by EPA. On July 3, 2012, NMED submitted its 2012 Annual Air Monitoring Network Plan (AAMNP} that included the plans for the N02NAAQS. EPA approved New Mexico's 2012 AAMNP on December 19, 2012. The NMED Web site provides the N02 monitor locations, and current and historical data.

New Mexico's Requirements The Air Quality Control Act authorizes NMED to enforce the provisions ofthe Air Quality Control Act, regulations, and permit conditions, through administrative compliance orders or commencement ofcivil actions. See NMSA 1978, 

### § 74-2-12. In addition, the Air Quality Control Act designates NMED as the air pollution control agency for the state, see NMSA 1978, 

### § 74-2-2, and the Environmental Improvement Act provides the NMED with authority to enforee the state's environmental quality rules. NMSA 1978, 

### § 74-I-6.F. The EIB established rules governing emissions ofthe criteria pollutants and their precursors throughout the State and these rules are in the federally enforceable SIP. Therules in 20.2 NMAC parts 3, 5, 7-8, 10- 22, 30-34,40-41,72-75, and 98-99 include allowable emission rates, compliance, control plan requirements, actual and allowable emissions, monitoring and testing requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and control schedules. Theserules clarifythe boundaries beyond which regulated entities in New Mexico can expect enforcement action.

Preconstruction PSD Permitting ofMajor Sources: New Mexico's PSD program was conditionally approved into the state's SIP on February 27, 1987 (52 FR 5964) and fully approved on Augnst 15,2011 (76 FR 41698). In addition, revisions to New Mexico's PSD program were approved into the SIP onAugnst 21, 1990 (55 FR 34013), May 2, 1991 (56 FR 20137), October 15, 1996 (61 FR 53639), March 10, 2003 (68 FR I1316), December 24, 2003 (68 FR 74483), September 5, 2007 (72 FR 50879), June II, 2009 (75 FR72688), November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72688), July 20, 2011 (76 FR 43149), June 13, 20I2 (77 FR 35273), January 22, 2013, (78 FR4339), and March II, 2013 (78 FR 15296). New Mexico's Major source PSD permitting requirements are found at 20.2.74 NMAC.

Green House Gases (GHG) PSD Permitting: New Mexico has the authority to issue permits 

# !under the SIP,approved PSD program to sources ofGHG emissions (75 FR 82536, December

30, 2010). On November I0, 2010, New Mexico adopted revisions to the State's PSD rules to implement the GHG thresholds established in EPA's GHG TailoringRule and submitted the corresponding SIP revision to EPA on December 1, 2010. On Aprill4, 2011, EPA proposed approval ofNew Mexico's GHG rules submitted on December 1, 2010 (76 FR 20907). On August 19,2011, EPA approved New Mexico's GHG rules submitted onDecember I, 2010 (see 76 FR 43149 (July 20, 2011)).

### § 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(I) are not being addressed in this infrastructure SIP submittal.

With respect to theprevention ofsignificant deterioration element of§ II0 (a)(2)(D)(i)(II), as stated above in section 110(a)(2)(C) ofthis infrastructure SIP, the New Mexico PSD program has been approved by EPA into the SIP. New Mexico's PSD program contains the necessary provisions to implementthe N02 standard.

With respect to the visibility element of§ 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(ll), several prior SIP submissions are relevant. On September 17, 2007 New Mexico submitted a SIP to address the interstate transport provisions ofCAA IIO(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 1997 8-hour ozone and PMuNAAQS. In 

### j this submission, the state indicated that it intended to meet the requirements ofsection



### IIO(a)(2)(D)(i)(Il) with respect to visibilityby submission ofa Regional Haze SIP revision, which was then due on December 17, 2007. EPA had previously approved New Mexico's Visibility Protection Plan and a Long-Term Strategy for Visibility Protection as SIP revisions

onJanuary 27, 2006 (71 FR 4490). New Mexico had also submitted a Regional Haze SIP to EPA on December I, 2003, and a revised Regional Haze SIP on July 5, 2011.

On August 22, 2011, EPA finalized disapproval ofthe visibility portion ofthe September 2007 SIP submission. 76 FR 52388. (EPA approved the 2007 SIP with respect to the PSD element of § 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(Il), along with the "interfere with maintenance" clement of§ 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(I), on November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72688), and approved the 2007 SIP with respect to the "significant contribution to non-attainment" element of§ 110 (a)(2)(D)(i)(I) onJune II, 2010 (75 FR 33174)). In the August 22, 2011 final rule, EPA promulgated a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) imposinglimits for NOx on the SanJuan Generating Station (SJGS).

.5NAAQS, and also to address the requirements underl the Regional Hazeprogram for Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART). EPA based the

. timing ofthe FIP issuance in part on the existence ofa consent decree deadline for action under · Section 11O(a)(2)(D) (76 FRat 52390).

On November 27, 2012 (77 FR 70693}, EPA approved New Mexico's 2003 and 2011 Regional Haze SIP submittals, but expressly declined to take action on the portion ofthe 2011 SIP making a nitrogen oxides (NOx) BART determination for SJGS, which consisted ofselective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) with an emissionrate of0.23 lbs/mmBtu.

In its August 22, 20II final rule, EPA detennined that a 

### I"Ox emission limit from the SJGS of

no greater than 0.27- 0.28 lb/mmBtu was necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section IIO(a)(2)(D)(i)(Il), and that no other additional reductions in New Mexico were required under that section (76 FRat 52424). Although New Mexico's July 5, 2011 NOx BART determination of0.23 !b/mmBtu represented a lower emission rate than EPA determined to be necessary to satisfy Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), EPA promulgated its own NOx BART determination of0.05 lb/mmBtu using selective catalyticreduction (SCR).

New Mexico has challenged EPA's NOx BART FIP for the SJGS, and the case remains pending in the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the Tenth Circuit. New Mexico, EPA, and Public Service CompanyofNew Mexico (the operator ofthe SJGS) havereached a tentative agreement which would require the shutdown oftwo ofthefour SJGS units and installation of SNCR on the remaining two, with an emission rate ofno greater than 0.23 lb/rnrnBtu. On September 5, 2013, the EIB adopted a SIP revision incorporating the substantive terms ofthe tentative agreement. On December 17,2013, EPA determined that the revised SIP submission I was administratively complete. As provided in theTerm sheet, EPA will take action within 135

days ofthat date to approve ordisapprove this revised SIP, after fulfilling its obligations to provide publie notice and an opportunity for comment.

Therequirement for New Mexico under Section IIO(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) is presently satisfied by the FIP; however, theFIP may bereplaced by the revised SIP ifEPA finds it meets the applicable Clean AirAct requirements. Therefore, regardless ofwhichplan is ultimately implemented (the SIP, the FIP, orthe revised SIP), the NOx emission rate from San Juan will be considerably Jess than 0.27 0.28 lb/mmBtu, and will satisfy the visibility element of§ 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II).
Finally, with respect to§ 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), as stated above in Section 110(a)(2)(C) ofthe infrastructure SIP, New Mexico has a SIP-approved PSD program which includes provisions

1that satisfy the requirements ofsection 126 ofthe CAA. There are no final findings under

section 115 oftheCAA against New Mexico with respect to any airpollutant. Ifin the future there are one or more final findings under section 115 ofthe CAA, NMED will consult with .EPA Region VL

New Mexico's provisions regarding public notification ofinstances or areas in which any primary NAAQS was exceeded were approved into the SIP on August 24, 1983 (48 FR 38466).

, Airquality data from New Mexico's monitoring network is published in real time on NMED's

website. The website also provides information on the health effects ofN02 and other criteria pollutants. Additionally, as part ofthe 105 grant process New Mexico is required to submit \ monitoring data to the Air Quality System (AQS) in a timely manner.

New Mexico's 2010Nitrogen Dioxide NAAQS Infrastructure SIP 9New Mexico's program was conditionally approved into the SIP on February 27, 1987 (52 FR 5964) and fully approved effective Augustl5, 2011 (76 FR41698). OtherEPA actions pertainingto New Mexico's PSD program are found at: 52 FR 5964,53 FR 44191, 55 FR 43013,56 FR 20137,61 FR 53639,68 FR 11316,68 FR 74483,72 FR 50879, and 75 FR 72688. New Mexico's minor source permittingrequirements were approved at 38 FR 12702. For more infonnation, refer aboveto infrastructure SIP element 11O(a)(2)(C).

EPA approved New Mexico's Visibility Protection Plan and approved 

### a Long-Term Strategy for Visibility Protection into New Mexico's SIP on January27,2006 (71 FR 4490). New Mexico submitted a Regional Haze SIP to EPA on December 

### I, 2003. On July 5, 2011, New Mexico submitted a revised Regional Haze SIP to EPA. EPA approved both submittals, except for the submitted nitrogen oxides (NOx) Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) determination for the San Juan Generating Station, on November 27,2012 (77 FR 70693). As described above under§ IIO(a)(2)(D), New Mexico and EPA havereached a tentative !

, settlement in a dispute overcompeting BART determinations for the SanJuan Generati:Jg ' Station, under which NMED conducted 

### a revised BART determination approved by the EIB and submitted to EPA.
§110(a)(2)(K) Provide for: (i) theperformance ofsuch air quality modeling 

### as the Administrator mayprescribe for thepurpose ofpredictingthe effect on ambient air quality ofany emissions ofany airpollutant for which the Administrator has established a national ambient airquality standard, and

(ii) the submission, uponrequest, ofdatarelated to such airquality modelingto the Administrator;



### New Mexico's Requirements The Air Quality Control Act authorizes NMED to "developfacts and make investigations and studies" (NMSA 1978, 

### § 74- 2-5.1(A)). This provides NMED with necessary authority to develop air quality assessments and conduct modeling. NMED mayprovide datarelated to air quality modeling and analyses to the EPA upon request. The Air Quality Control Act authorizes NMED to cooperate with the federal government "in regard to matters ofcommon interest in the field ofair quality control", thereby allowing it to submit data and reports to EPA (NMSA 1978, 

### § 74- 2-5.2(8)).

New Mexico has developed Air Dispersion Modeling Guidelines that follow EPA guidelines for air dispersion modeling. TheNew Mexico Air Dispersion Modeling Guidelines also include internal policy language. The Air Quality Bureau within NMED contains a modeling section with four qualified modelers, two with Ph.D.'s.

The Air Quality Bureau routinely conducts air dispersion modeling for the purpose of determining the impact ofairpollutant emissions in relation to thenational ambient air quality standards. New Mexico's SIP-approved PSD rules provide NMED with the authority to conduct modeling to ensure permitted emissions do not exceed any national ambient air quality standard.

New Mexico's PSD regulations ensure that all ambient air quality modelingrequired by those regulations is performed in accordance**withE~**A Guidance. See**~0.2.74.305** NMAC.

### New Mexico's Requirements The Air Quality Control Act provides the EIB with the legal authority for establishing an emission fee schedule and a constructionpermit fee schedule to recover the reasonable costs of acting onpermit applications, implementing, and enforcing permits (NMSA 1978, §74-2-7). New Mexico's Permit Fee System was approved byEPA on November 24, 1997 (62 FR 50514). New Mexico's Permit Fee System implements a fee system for all preconstruction air permits issued byNMED. New Mexico's regulations for constructionpermit fees are found at 20.2.75 NMAC. New Mexico'sTitle V program and associated fees legally are not part ofthe SIP, but were approved by EPA on November 26, 1996 (61 FR 60032) as part ofthe New Mexico TitleV Program.


### § 110(a)(2)(M) Provide for consultation and participation bylocal political subdivisions affected b the plan.

New Mexico's Requirements The Air Quality Control Act provides that, "no regulations or emission control requirement shall be adopted until after a public hearing bythe environmental improvementboard orthe local board" and provides that, "at the hearing, the environmental improvement board orthe local board shall allow all interested persons reasonable opportunity to submit data, views, or arguments orally orin writing and to examine witnesses testifying at the hearing" (NMSA 1978, §§ 74--2-6(B) and (D)). The Act QualityControl Act also establishes NMED's power and duty to advise; consult; contract with and cooperate with local authorities, other states, the federal government and other interested persons or groups in regard to matters ofcommon interest in the field ofair quality control (NMSA 1978, 

### § 74-2-5.2(8)).

New Mexico's SIP-approved regulations for PSD (20.2.74, 20.2.72 and 20.2.79 NMAC) and Transportation Conformity (20.2.99 NMAC) also provide for publicparticipation. For more information, refer above to infrastructure SIP element IIO(a)(2)(J).
