Dear Acting Regional Administrator Pavlou: 

/$j f 

\`lF'i ° , Enclosed for your review and approval is the New Jersey Department of 

Environmental Protection's (Department) revision to the New Jersey State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) incorporating rule changes updating the Reasonably Available Control 

Technology (RACT) requirements and providing other SIP emission reduction measures for 

fourteen (14) source categories. This revision meets New Jersey's commitment, contained in 

the Department's August 1, 2007 RACT SIP Revision, to update its RACT rules. The 

USEPA proposed (74 Fed. Reg. 2945 January 16, 2009) to conditionally approve this August 

1, 2007 SIP Revision based on the Department's commitment to finalize its rules on or 

before April 1, 2009. The Department adopted its amended rules on March 20, 2009. 

The RACT requirements apply to the following 14 source categories: alternative and 

facility-specific NO, emission limits ; alternative and facility-specific VOC control plans; 

emulsified and cutback asphalt used for paving; asphalt pavement production plants ; control 

technique guidelines for flat wood paneling coatings, flexible packaging printing materials, 

and offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing; boilers serving electric generating 

units; glass manufacturing furnaces ; high electric demand day (HEDD) electric generating 

units; industrial/commercial/institutional boilers and other indirect heat exchangers; 

municipal solid waste incinerators ; sewage sludge incinerators ; and VOC stationary storage 

tanks. 

On or about August 20 , 2008 , the Department submitted a copy py of pr$D0$aYb 11 f~ 

rulemaking to Alan Steinberg, the Regional Administrator at the time, for 

held a public hearing on this proposed SIP revision on September 26,~A©g, x~~~~Jersey and

10, 16, 19 21, and NJ.A .C . 7:27A-3 .10 . This 

proposed ru~emakinl: also constitutes a revision to 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP) . A statement 

of the substance of theproposal follows ' 

On October 29, 2007, the Department approved 

the final revisions to its State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) to address Reasonably Achievable Control 

Technology (RACf) and other r uirements to attain 

the Federal 1997 &hov NAAS for ozone The 

Department committed to adopt ozone rules subjeCt to Public commartt . The OCtober 200~ final 

51P revisions included a eommitnsent to propose 

rules regulating certain aource-specific categories 

with the greatest potential of reducing emissions of 

oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic , compounds (VOCs), both precursors to the formation of 

o:.oro . Some of the Department's existing rules are 

over a decade old and do not reflect advancements 

in technology that are Ct9rrently reasonably avaitable . 

This rule action will implement the above SIP commitment in the following 13 source categories . alternative and facility-specific NOx emission rates ; 

alternative VOC emission limits; asphalt used for 

paving; asphalt pavement p roduction plants ; Control 

technique guidelines for Flat wood paneling Coatirps . flexibk packaging printing materials, and offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing; 

electric ge nerati ng units; glass manutaoturing furnaces; high electric demand day units; 

induatrisllcornrnereialfinstitutronal boilers and other 

indirect heat exChareers; municipal solid waste 

incinerators, and VOC stationary storage tanks . 

The Department is proposing most of these new 

rul :.s and amendmentr to reduce volatile organic 

compound (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 

emissrons, which are precursors to ozone . Oza-re 

occurs naturally in the Lipper rqQioru: of the atmose here (stratosphere) and is critical to shielding the 

Earth from the Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation 

However, in the lower atmosphere . (troposphere), 

where the air we breathe fiea, ozone is a harmful air 

Pollutant formed b~ Complex chemical reactions invdying VOCs and ~JOx in the presence of sunlight . 

The proposed rules will directly reduce NOx and 

VOC emissions . Sulfur dioxide ( ..OZ) emissions w11 

be reduced for one source cataQory that contributes 

to fire particulate pollution and haze , ,_ , , . .,

and Is critical to shielding the Earth from the 

Sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation . However, In the dower atmosphere (troposphere), 

where the air we breathe lies, ozone is a 

harmful air Pollutant formed by complex

In the presence of sunlight . The proposed 

rules will directly reduce NOx and VOC 

COll~l emlssions .', Sulfur dioxide (S02) emissions 

will be reduced for one source category that 

contributes to .fine .particulate Pollution and 

haze . i . 

The proposal Is scheduled to be Published in

Public Notice 

Take notice that the' NJ Department 

of Environmental Protection is proposing new rules and amendments of 

its rules at 

N .J .A .C . 7 :27-4, 10, 16, 19, 21, 

and 

N .J .A .C . 7 :27A-3 .10 . This proposed 

rulemaking also constitutes a revision 

to the State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) . A statement of the substance of 

the proposal follows : 

On October 29, 2007, the Department 

approved the final revisions to its 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) to 

address Reasonably Achievable Control Technology (RACT) and other requirements to attain the Federal 1997 

8-hour NAAQS for ozone . The Department committed to adopt ozone rules, 

subject to public comment . The October 2007 final SIP revisions Included ,a 

commitment to propose rules regulating certain source-specific categories 

with the greatest potential of reducing 

emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 

and -Volatile organic compounds 

(VOCs), both precursors to the formation of ozone . Some of the Department's existing rules are over a decade old and do not reflect advancements in technology that are currently 

reasonably available . 

This rule action will Implement the 

above 'SIP commitment In the following 13 source categories : alternative 

and facility-specific NOx emission 

rates; alternative VOC emission limIts; asphalt used 'for paving ; asphalt 

pavement production plants; control 

technique guidelines for flat wood 

paneling coatings, flexible packaging 

printing materials, and offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing ; electric generating units; glass 

manufacturing furnaces; high electric 

demand day units; industrial/ 

-commercial/institutional boilers and

other ,indirect heat exchangers; municipal solid waste Incinerators ; and 

VOC stationary storage tanks. -

The Department is proposing most -of 

these new rules and amendments to 

reduce volatile organic compound 

(VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 

emissions, which are ,precursors to 

ozone . Ozone occurs naturally In the 

upper regions of the atmosphere 

(stratosphere) and is critical to shield -

(ng the Earth from the Sun's harmful 

ultraviolet radiation . However., in the 

lower ' atmosphere (troposphere'), 

where the air we breathe lies, ozone is 

a harmful air pollutant formed by 

complex Chemical reactions involving 

VOCs and NOx in the presence of sunlight . The proposed rules will directly 

reduce NOx and VOC emissions. Sulfur dioxide (502) emissions will be-r.etJuced f.or one source category that 

contributes to fine particulate pollution and haze . 

The proposal is scheduled to be published in the New Jersey Register dated August 4, 2008 . . An unofficial copy 

of the proposal Is available from the 

DepartmenYs website at
