3. Evidence that the State has the necessary legal authority under State law to adopt and implement the plan. The Georgia Air Quality Act, Article 1: Air Quality (O.C.G.A. 12

- 9, et. seq.) provides the necessary legal authority under State law to adopt and implement the revisions. The Act, in its entirety, is located at http://www.lexis

nexis.com/hottopics/gacode/ under Title 12, Chapter 9, Article 1.

1. Identification of all regulated pollutants affected by the plan. The proposed plan covers all emissions associated with the removal of Stage II controls as required by EPA’ s “Guidance on Removing Stage II Ga soline Vapor Control Programs from State Implementation Plans and Assessing Comparable Measures”

. 2. Identification of the locations of affected sources including the EPA attainment/non

- attainment designation of the locations and the status of the attain ment plan for the affected areas(s). The pl an is applicable to the former 1

- hour ozone Metro Atlanta Nonattainment Area that includes the following counties: Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding, and Rockdale

. 3. Quantification of the changes in plan allowable emissions from the affected sources; estimates of changes in current actual emissions from affected sources or, where appropriate, quantification of changes in actual emissions from a ffected sources through calculations of the differences between certain baseline levels and allowable emissions anticipated as a result of the revision. Emissions were quantified according to EPA’ s “Guidance on Removing Stage II Gasoline Vapor Control Programs from State Implementation Plans and Assessing Comparable Measures”

. Emissions are discussed in Section 3.0
4. The State’s demonstration that the national ambient air quality standards, prevention of significant deterioration increments, reasonable further progress demonstration, and visibility, as applicable, are protected if the plan is approved and implemented. For all requests to redesignate an area to attainment for a national primary ambient air quality standard, under section 107 of the Act, a revision must be submitted to provide for the maintenance of the national primary ambient air quality standards for at least 10 years as required by section 175A of the Act. Removal of this rule from Georgia’ s State Implementation Plan is consistent with section 110 (l) of the CAA.
5. Modeling information required to support the proposed revision, including input data, output data, models used, justification of model selections, ambient monitoring data used, meteorological data used, justification for u se of offsite data (where used), modes of models used, assumptions, and other information relevant to the determination of adequacy of the modeling analysis. Refer to Section 5.0 of the plan.
6. Evidence, where necessary, that emission limitations are ba sed on continuous emission reduction technology. This requirement is not applicable for this revision.

7. Evidence that the plan contains emission limitations, work practice standards and recordkeeping/reporting requirements, where necessary, to ensure emission levels. Removal of this rule from Georgia’ s State Implementation Plan is consistent with section 110 (l) of the CAA.
8. Compliance/enforcement strategies, including how compliance will be determined in practice. Enforcement will be carried out as described in the State/EPA Enforcement Agreement.
9. Special economic and technological justifications required by any applicable EPA policies, or an explanation of why such justifications are not necessary. No special economic or technological justifications are required for this proposed p lan.
