Proposed Ozone Advance Plan for Caroline County

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comments and announcing a public hearing on a proposed plan to promote continued compliance with the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone in Caroline County. This ozone advance act ion plan is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to meet its overall clean air goals under the federal Clean Air Act by attaining and maintaining the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act.

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the overall plan.

Public comment period: October 7, 2013, to November 6,

2013.

Public hearing: November 5, 2013, at 10 a.m. in Conference Room A, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East

Main Str eet, Richmond, VA 23218.

Description of proposal: On May 21, 2012, EPA designated Caroline County as attainment for the 2008 NAAQS. To help ensure continued clean air, county leaders have worked cooperatively with DEQ and a number of stakeholders to

create the plan, which details the numerous clean air programs that are in place and will be implemented to reduce

substances that contribute to the formation of ozone. Air quality in the area will continue to improve through the implementation of these programs . Major stakeholders in this process include Caroline County, FAMPO; Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy; Virginia Department of Transportation; Fort A.P. Hill; Dominion Virginia Power; Virginia Clean Cities Coalition; and

GWRideConnect. Acti ons taken as part of the plan, and various upwind reductions of ozone and particulate matter, will continue to improve air quality well into the future.

Federal information: This notice is being given to provide the general public with the opportunity to p rovide input on the plan. Ozone advance action plans are voluntary plans developed in cooperation with EPA and are intended to enable the Commonwealth to meet its general federal requirement to attain and maintain the NAAQS; however, there is no mandatory requirement for this type of plan to undergo public comment.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ no later than the last day of the comment period.

State Implementation Plan Proposed Revision

- Richmond Air Quality Plan, Stage II

Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed plan to attain an d maintain the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone in the Richmond

Petersburg Ozone Attainment/Maintenance Area. The Commonwealth intends to submit the plan as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP)

i n accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP is the plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by th e U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the overall plan and on the issue of whether the plan will enable the

Richmond

- Petersburg area to continue to meet the ozone NAAQS.

Public comment period: October 7 , 2013, to November 6,

2013.

Public hearing: A public hearing will be conducted on November 5, 2013, in Conference Room A, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia at 1:30 p.m. Directions may be found

at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Locations/CentralOffice.aspx

. Description of proposal: The proposed revision revises the

Richmond

- Petersburg area's ozone maintenance plans such

# General Notices/Errata

Volume 30, Issue 3 Virginia Register of Regulations October 7, 2013

327 that Stage II vapor recov ery systems on gasoline dispensing stations are no longer required beginning on January 1, 2017.

The Richmond

- Petersburg area was originally designated as a moderate nonattainment area for the 1991 ozone NAAQS of 0.012 parts per million (ppm). The area's a ir quality improved, and a redesignation request and maintenance plan were approved by EPA on November 17, 1997. On April 30, 2004, EPA designated the area as a moderate nonattainment area for the 1997 ozone NAAQS of 0.08 ppm. Again the area qualified for attainment status, and EPA approved a redesignation request and maintenance plan on June 1, 2007. Both maintenance plans contained emission reductions from the implementation of Stage II vapor controls. Since the most recent maintenance plan was developed and approved, the area has been attaining the current, more

- protective ozone NAAQS of 0.075 ppm. EPA has also determined that Stage II, which controls vapors emitted from gasoline pumps, is incompatible with and less effective in controlling vapors

than on board refueling vapor recovery, which controls vapors

in individual vehicles. The Commonwealth has determined that Stage II is no longer needed in the area's maintenance plan, which is approved into the Virginia SIP at

40 CFR 52.2420(e).

Removing this requ irement does not interfere with maintenance of any ozone NAAQS. In addition to the incompatibility between Stage II controls and vehicles equipped with onboard refueling vapor recovery systems, volatile organic compound (VOC) reductions from other

sources of emissions more than compensate for any emissions reductions that might be lost from the removal of Stage II requirements. Modeling studies also show that reductions in nitrogen oxides (NO X ) are 10 to 1,000 times more effective

than VOC reductions in low ering ozone concentrations in the

Richmond

- Petersburg area. Therefore, this SIP revision satisfies EPA's requirements regarding the removal of Stage II vapor recovery requirements and § 110(l) of the federal

Clean Air Act.

Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40

CFR 51.102). The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the

federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 5 1.104. DEQ plans to submit all provisions of the proposal as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP.

How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, addres s, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ on the last day of the comment period. All materials received are part of the public record.
