The emission limitation must be established, on 

a case-bycase basis, taking into consideration the technology available, th~ costs of compliance, the energy 

and nonair quality environmental impacts of compliance, any pollution control quipment in use or in existence at the source, the remaining useful life of the source, and the degree of improvement in visibility 

which may reasonably be anticipated to result from the use of such technology. 

I

1200-3-23-.08 EXEMPTIONS FROM BART REQUIREMENTS. 

Any existing stationary facility subject to the requirement of this chapter to install, operate, and maintain 

BART may apply to the Technical Secretary for an exemption from that requirement. 

An application under this rule must include all available documentation relevant to the impact of the source's 

emissions on visibility in any mandatory Class I Federal area and a demonstration by the existing stationary 

facility that it does not or will not, by itself or in combination with other sources, emit any air pollutant 

which may be reasonably anticipated to cause or contribute to a significant impairment of visibility in any 

mandatory Class I Federal area. 

Any fossil-fuel fired power plant with a total generating capacity of 750 megawatts or more may receive 

an exemption from BART only if the owner or operator of such power plant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Technical Secretary that such power plant is located at such a distance from all mandatory Class 

I Federal areas that such power plant does not or will not, by itself or in combination with other sources, 

emit any air pollutant which may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute to significant impairment of visibility in any such mandatory Class I Federal area. 

The existing stationary facility must give prior written notice to all affected Federal Land Managers of - 

any application for exemption under this rule. 

The Federal Land Manager may provide an initial recommendation or comment on the disposition of such 

application. Such recommendation, where provided, must be part of the exemption application. This recommendation is not to be construed as the concurrence required under Paragraph (6) below. 

The Technical Secretary within 90 days of receipt of an application for exemption from control, will provide notice of receipt of an exemption application and notice of opportunity for public hearing on the application. After notice and opportunity for public hearing, the Technical Secretary may grant or deny the 

exemption. An exemption granted by the Technical Secretary under this rule will be effective only upon 

concurrence by all affected Federal Land Managers with the Technical Secretary's determination.

1200-3-23-.02 DEFINITIONS 

Unless specifically defined in this Chapter, the definitions from Chapter 

1200-3-2 and Paragraph 1200-3-9-.01(4) shall apply: 

(1) "Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART)" means an emission 

limitation based on the degree of reduction achievable through the 

application of the best system of continuous emission reduction for 

each pollutant which is emitted by an existing stationary facility. 

The emission limitation must be established, on a case-by-case 

basis, taking into consideration the technology available, the costs 

of compliance, the energy and nonair quality environmental impacts 

of compliance, any pollution control equipment in use or in 

existence at the source, the remaining useful life of the source, 

and the degree of improvement in visibility which may reasonably be 

anticipated to result from the use of such technology. 
2.16 Visibility Protection 
Visibility SIP 

Visibility is commonly referred to as the relative ease with which objects can be 

seen through the atmosphere under various conditions. Visibility impairment can 

be classified into two general types. The first type results from smoke, dust or 

other gaseous emissions from a discernable source or sources which obscure the sky 

or horizon. The second type is the widespread, regionally homogeneous haze from 

many sources which reduces visibility in every direction over a large area. (See 

Appendix A) 

The Federal Class I areas in Tennessee that may be affected by visible impairment 

include: Great Smoky hlountains National Park and Joyce Kilmcr-Slickrock 

National Wilderness Area. In order to determine the existence and extent of 

visibility impairment in these areas a visibility impact study must be conducted. 

This study could include monitoring techniques such as human observation, 

photographic records, quantified photographic records and quantified photographic 

records with pollutant identification. (See Appendix B) These monitoring 

techniques can be used to obtain background visibility data, to analyze visibility 

trends and provide data for new source impact analysis. 

The Tennessee approach to visibility contr'ol includes the adoption of procedural 

requirements of 40 CFR 52.21 as part of the prevention of significant deterioration 

regulation and the adoption of 40 CFR 52.28 as part of the non-attainment area 

growth policy. It is also our intent to coordinate a monitoring strategy in 

cooperation with the National Park Services (NPS), the Tennessee Valley Authority 

(TVA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), involving quantified 

photographic records with pollutant identification in the Great Smoky Mountain 

National Park. (See Appendix C) 

The Federal Land Manager (FLM) and the Director of the Tennessee Air Pollution 

Control Division (Director) will be responsible for determining whether any 

impairment of visibility exists in any mandatory Class I Federal area. For any 

existing visibility impairment that the Director identifies or the FLM certifies to 

the Director, the Air Pollution Control Division (Division) will determine if 

visibility impairment in any Class I Federal area is reasonably attributable to an 

existing stationary facility through visual observation or any other technique the 

Director deems appropriate. The FLM may assist the Division by providing a list of 

sources suspected of causing or contributing to visibility impairment in the Federal 

Class I area. The Division will also perform a Best Available Retrofit Technology 

(BART) analysis on any existing facilities identified as impairing visibility to 

identify the pollutant of concern and evaluate additional air pollution control 

technologies that may improve visibility. If BART would not result in a significant 

visibility improvement, the source may not be required to install BART. A periodic 

reeaxamination of Class I areas to identify any sources that may contribute to 

visibility impairment in the future will be performed and when new technology 

becomes available, such sources must be reanalyzed for BART. 

At this time, there are not any sources requiring BART because the Director nor 

the FLM have identified any sources which are causing existing visiblity 

impairment in any Class I area. However, the FLM or the Director may at any 

time determine that visibility impairment exists and recommend that the 

conditions be remedied. If an existing source is subjected to a BART analysis in 
the future, the existing source may apply to the Technical Secretary of the 

Tennessee Air Pollution Control i3oard for an exemption from BART on the basis 

that the source does not cause or contribute to significant impairment of visibility. 

The source must also notify the FLM of its application. 

Visibility may be evaluated by human observers, or inspection of data from 

visibility monitoring stations, or by any technique determined appropriate by the 

Division. Historical and baseline visibility data determined appropriate by the 

Division may be used to support decisions relevant to the Visibility Plan. 

A long-term (10 - 15 years) strategy to fully comply with the Visibility Plan will be 

designed to prevent future visibility impairrnent due to identifiable stationary 

sources developing near or impacting on Federal Class I areas. The strategy will 

consist of the following: 

I) An analysis of visibility impacts by all new stationary sources which might 

impair visibility in a Class I area, irrespective of their proposed location. If 

the new source is not subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

(PSD) provisions, the Division may consider cost, energy and other relevant 

factors in determining whether to permit construction of a new source. For 

new sources which are exempt from PSD regulations and -could cause a 

reduction in visibility, several options are available for considerations by the 

Division and the source. The Division could 1) require the source to analyze 

alternative sites, 2) require the use of Best Available Control Technology 3) 

limit the source's capability to emit the pollutant which is expected to cause 

the impairment by limiting the source's operating conditions, or 4) deny the 

source permission to construct. 

2) The Division will review this strategy in consultation with the FLM and 

report the findings to the public and to the Administrator of the EPA at 

least every three years. 

3) The periodic review of the long term visibility strategy will be undertaken 

to a) take into account advances in technology, b) evaluate progress toward 

the "national" visibility goal, c) evaluate specific program effectiveness, d) 

consider any new or identified integral vistas, e) evaluate the 

reasonableness of the long term strategy. 

Included in these analyses will be an assessment of progress in remedying any 

identified impairment, an assessment of the strategy's long-term ability to prevent 

future impairment and identification of advances in technology and' consideration 

of additional measures that may be necessary to make reasonable progress toward 

the national visibility goal. This review will incorporate any. evaluations of 

available visual observations or monitoring data or other documentation. The plan 

incorporates the control of air pollutants of new sources impacting any Class I area 

thus preserving the visibility goals for these areas. 

When the Division reviews applications for new sources which may impact Class I 

areas, the Division will work closely with the FLM. As a first step in the review 

process, the Division will notify the FLM of preapplication meetings or other 

correspondence from any potential new source which may impact visibility in a 

Class I area. The Division and FLM will then initiate consultation concerning such 

issues as application completeness determinations which will continue throughout 

the permitting process. The FLM will have at least 30 days after their receipt of a 
complete application to make a visibility analysis. The FLhl may demonstrate to 

the Director that the source will have an adverse impact on visibility in the Class I 

area even where the PSD increments are not violated. If the Division agrees with 

the assessment, then the permit will be denied. If the Divisiondisagrees with the 

assessment, it will provide written explanation of its findings to be made available 

to the public prior to public hearings on the permit. 

In addition, analysis of the potential visibility impacts of new sources on integral 

vistas identified at least 12 months before submission of a complete permit 

application shall be made. However, if the FLM provides an opportunity for public 

comment on any potential integral vista at least 6 months prior to submission of 

the complete permit application, the analysis must include the impact on the 

potential integral vistas as well. The protection of integral vistas will include 

consideration of the long-terrn strategy including cost, energy and other rele,~ant 

factors. 

Finally, the Division may require the source to monitor visibility at the proposed 

site or potentially aflected area as part of the permit ap?lication. 
Appendix '4 

Visibility - Discussion 

The term visibility refers to the clarity of objects seen by an observer looking 

through the atmosphere. This term refers only to the factors that influence 

visibility independent of the vision of the observer. Visibility is different from 

most measures of atmospheric air quality because it is a path measurement 

influenced by a variety of factors. Visibility is affected by air pollutants of many 

types, both gaseous and particulate, as well as by natural phenomena such as fog, 

rain and clouds. The interaction of natural and man-made factors can result in 

synergistic impacts on visibility. 

While the number of different factors affecting visibility are many, there are two 

mechanisms by which these factors actually reduce visibility. The two mechanisms 

are light scattering and light absorption. The pollutants of primary concern to 

visibility reduction because they are, or become, efficient light scatterers or 

absorbers are fine particulates, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Nitrogen 

dioxide, as a gas, has the ability to absorb blue light, thus affecting the perceived 

color of the atmosphere. The light reaching the eye will be defecient in the blue 

spectrum, thus the atmosphere will appear brown or re.ddisl.1 in the shade and grey 

in a lighted location. Sulfur dioxide, under condusive conditions, can convert into a 

sulfate aerosol in which microscopic solid or liquid particles are suspended in a 

gaseous media. Nitrogen dioxide can also form an aerosol. The aerosols which 

encompass the fine particulates (less thn 2.5 um in diameter) have excellent light 

scattering ability. 

Visibility by light scattering produces the white or grey haze that frequently occurs 

over the eastern US. during the summer months. In fact, light scattering due to 

the fine particulate aerosols have been shown to be the dominant mechanism in the 

reduction of visibility in remote areas of the Southeastern United States. The 

principle sources of fine particulates are sulfur and nitrogen gases emanating from 

power plants, industrial sources and automobile emissions. Organic pollutants are 

also of interest because they can contribute to the formation of sulfates, nitrogen 

oxides, and organic aerosols. Table 1 summarizes the typical size ranges of. a 

number of common atmospheric aerosols. 

The term "visual range" is a widely applied measure of visibility. Simply defined; 

the visual range is that distance beyond which a specified target (usually defined as 

a large, black object) cannot be distinguished from the background sky. Thus, 

visual range is a measure of the apparent contrast of an object at some distance 

from the observer. The concept of visual range has been traditionally used as an 

indication of visibility. However, there are limitations to the amount of 

information regarding the visual air quality provided by a reported visual range 

value. For example, the visual range technique cannot determine whether the 

reduced visibility at a particular time is due to precipitation or due to air pollution. 

Thus, the need for more technically competent methods of determining the cause 

of visibility impairment are necessary.

Visibility - hleasuring and Monitoring Techniques 

Characterization of visibility and its impairment involves the measurement of 

variables that: I) relate directly to what the observer sees, 2) can be monitored 

directly, and 3) can be related to the atmospheric constituents controlling 

visibility. 

Apparent target contrast is a variable which meets the first t w o c r i t e r i a a n d s e r v e s 

as the fundamental measure of visibility impairment. Color change also meets the 

first two criteria. However, current knowledge does not allow for a definition of 

the hest way to express vista color and color change. ?v,leasurernents of fine 

particulate concentration and scattering coefficient go a long way toward 

achieving the second and third criteria and should be considered as an integral part 

of any visibility monitoring program. 

Visual range cannot be measured directly by any instrument. When site intercomparisons are required (such as for establishing regional trends) it will be 

necessary to use visual range as a normalizing and historical parameter. 

Optical Instruments 

Optical visibility-related instruments are divided into three major classes: 

contrast, scattering and transmission type measurement. Contrast type 

instruments measure the amount of radiant energy reaching a detector from 

selected targets and their surrounding background. These instruments are 

called telephotometers and directly measure the apparent spectral radiance 

of the sky, target, or plume and thus allow for a claculation of target or 

plume contrast and its change. Light scattering instrurnents measure the 

light scattered from a relatively small volume of air in specified directions 

from one point in space. Transmission instruments measure the amount of 

light transmitted from a specified source to a receiver. 

T e l e p h o t o m e t e r s 

Telephotometers make measurements in a way that is similar to observations 

made by the human eye. Properties of the target, air quality (homogeneity 

and concentration of visibility reducing aerosols), distance to the target, 

illumination of the sight path, humidity, and observation angle all affect the 

measurement. A disadvantage of making such measurements with 

telephotorneters is that it is difficult to separate the -various effects. 

Separation of effects is important if the goal is to isolate the effect of 

anthropogenic air pollutants on visibility. 

Human Eye Observation 

Human eye observation is an important contrast type a~proach to measuring 

visibility. Human eye observations are useful in establishing whether 

visibility impairment is reasonably attributed to an existing stationary 

source. Further, these observations presented as visual range, form the 

largest source of historical visibility data. By knowing distances to spatially 

distributed vistas or targets, trained observers are able to approximate the 
furthest distance they can see, thus, determining the visual range. However, 

natural targets or objects available for viewing at different locations are not 

uniform in directions and distances from the observation sites, making the 

comparison of sites difficult. 

Scattering Instruments 

Scattering instruments measure a basic optical property of the air sample, 

the volume scattering function, which is independent of target properties, 

natural illumination of the atmosphere, and distance between the observer 

and the target. Many scattering instruments enclose the air sample allowing 

continuous day and night operation by eliminating any need to use natural 

illumination. Enclosed instruments also allow control of arnbient air 

conditions in order to study the influence of relative humidity, for example. 

Transmission Instruments. 

Transmission instruments allow the direct calculation of the average 

attenuation coefficient of the air along the instrument path. These 

instruments are independent of the effects of target properties and the 

natural illumination of the sight path. Transmission type instruments are not 

recommended for routine visibility monitoring. 

Aerosol Measurements 

There are several instrumental methods that measure size distribution, mass 

concentration, or number concentration of the aerosol that usually dominates 

the scattering and absorption of light in air. Given the aerosol size 

distribution, aerosol light scattering can be used to calculate the scattering 

coefficient and thus allow an approximate determination of contrast 

reduction, visual range, and color change, Further, aerosol characterization 

may allow the identification of aerosol sources so that the relative 

contribution of these sources to visibility degradation can be evaluated and in 

turn the visibility degradation resulting from anthropogenic activities can be 

determined. 

Generally, the mass distribution of atmospheric aerosol can be classified as 

coarse and fine. The coarse aerosol is defined as containing particles greater 

in size than 2 micrometers, while s m a l l e r p a r t i c l e s are considered to conprise 

the fine aerosol. Usually, the coarse particles are mechanically produced and 

the fine particles are a result of condensation and coagulation processes. 

Typical particle sampling has been performed with filters collecting particles 

over the entire range from 100 to 0.1 micrometers in diame.ter. Ideally, for 

visibility monitoring, particles should be size segregated into many samples 

since their efficiency for light scattering is size dependent. However, since 

airborne particles between 1 and 0.1 micrometers in diameter dominate other 

particles in their ability to scatter light, it is possible to'sample in fewer size 

ranges. Particles should be collected in two size ranges corresponding t o t h e 

two aerosol classifications. The size range selected by the EPA for inhalable 

particulate monitoring can be used. 
Photography 

Photographic documentation can be utilized to reasonably attribute visibility 

impairment to existing stationary sources. It also provides a means of 

documenting the e f f e c t o f light absorption by NO2 on plume color, i.e., the 

"brown cloud" effect. Photographic data serves as a supplement to other 

measurement techniques. 
Appendix C 

Visibility Monitoring Strategy 

Background 

In July 1980, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), in cooperation with the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Park Service (NPS) 

established the Look Rock visibility and air quality monitoring station at the 

western edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSRINP) as a primary 

visibility monitoring station for the Eastern United States. 

The primary objective of the Look Rock monitoring station is to understand and 

document the nature and causes of any visibility impairment and to appl 1 this 

information in assessing I) new source impacts on Federal Class I areas andRrend 

analysis for long term visibility management. The visibility monitoring techniques 

employed include photography, telephotometry and nephelometry. In order to 

correlate visibility observation with factors influencing visibility, ambient air 

quality and meteorological measurements are also made. 

The background visibility data obtained from this station during the period of July 

1980 through August 1983, has been compiled by TVA and made available to the 

Tennessee Air Pollution Control Division. The NPS in cooperation with EPA and 

TVA has been responsible for operating the monitoring station since August, 1983. 

The data is collected and transmitted to the NPS Office in Denver, Colorado. At 

this time, no data from the NPS has been made available to the Division. 

Station description 

To better understand and document the nature and causes of visibility impairment 

in the GSMNP, the Look Rock monitoring station was established June 1980. Look 

Rock, named for its scenic vistas, was selected for this purpose because on clear 

days, a panoramic view of the GSMNP is possible from the observation tower. The 

locations of Look Rock and some of the prominent geographic features visible from 

the Look Rock observation tower are shown in figure I. 

Look Rock at 35'38' north latitude and 83'57' west longitude, is situated atop 

Chilhowee Mountain, 792 meters (m) above mean sea level. It is located at the 

boundry seperating two regions of sharply differing terrain - the Tennessee Valley 

to the northwest and the Great Smoky Cvlountains to the southeast. Figure 2, a 

cross-sectional display of the terrain near Look rock, graphically illustrates the 

contrast. 

In order to more completely describe the visual air quality, several monitoring 

techniques are employed at the Look Rock research station. Slide photographs are 

used to document the appearance of distance vistas as they would appear to an 

observer and to give a measure of visibility obscuring phenomena (ie.; fog, rain and 

clouds, and haze). Telephotometers are used to measure the contrast between 

distance mountains and the horizon above. Measurements of the ability of the 

polluted air t o s c a t t e r light are performed with a nephelometer. 


In order to correlate visibility observations with factors influencing visibility, 

ambient air quality measurements are also performed at the Look Rock station. To 

measure gaseous pollutants, monitors that continuously record concentrations of 

nitrogen oxides, ozone, and gaseous sulfur are used. TO determine the levels of 

particulate contaminants, I2 hour integrated size fractionated filter samples are 

collected and analyzed to determine the elemental composition of the ambient 

aerosol and to give an estimate of fine (particles less than 2 um) and course 

(particle diameter between 2.5 and 15 um) ambient aerosol mass. The results of 

these analyses are useful in apportioning the observed air pollution to probable 

contributing sources. A description of the instruments, measured pollutants and 

frequency of rneasurements is given in Table 1. 

It is the intention of the Tennessee Air Pollution Control Division, in cooperation 

with the EPA, NPS and TVA, to incorporate the data obtained from this station in 

the protection of visibility strategy. The details of how this visibility monitoring 

data will be incorporated into our protection of existing and prevention of future 

visibility impairment strategy are not yet confirmed. It is our intention to enter 

into an agreement with TVA and the NPS to obtain, evaluate and encorporate the 

data into a visibility protection program. Future details of this program will be 

made available when the agreement is finalized. 

The Tennessee Air Pollution Control Division also intends to use any available 

visibility data, including the Look Rock visibility data, if applicable, to evaluate 

visibility impairment in the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock National Wilderness Area in 

Tennessee as well as impacts on surrounding States' Class I areas.

Dear Mr. Swigec 

The Tennessee Air Pollution Control Division is currently in the process of 

developing a visibility State Implementation Plan (SIP). Part of the federal 

requirements far the visibility SIP development require the identification oi 

visibility impairanent in the Federal Class I areas by the State or Federal Land 

Manager (FLLO- This impairment must be identified at least six months prior to 

the SIP or SIP rcvision submittal in order to allow the State enough time to develop 

a plan to remedy the impairment (F.R. 45-233-80086). The State of Tennessee has 

not identified any visible impairment for Federal Class I areas at this time nor 

have we received any such notification from the FLIM's. Therefore, I am formally 

requesting any information concerning visibility impairment that has been 

identified by the US. Forest S e r v i c e f o r the Wilderness Areas in Tennessee. Please 

include a list of any sources which may require a Best Available Retrofit 

Technology (BART1 assessment. I am also requesting that this information be 

submitted to this Division within 60 days of receipt of this letter. 

Since our projected date for the visibility SIP submittal is Xiay 6, 1985 and no 

visibility impairment has been identified to date, we are not addressing existing 

visibility impairment in the SIP draft. Our intention then is to state in our SIP tha? 

no visible impairment has been identified in Tennessee's Federal Class I areas and 

. to address only future visibility impairment that may be certified to the State. 

However, if the FLM's certify existing visibility impairment within six months of 

the submittal of any revisions to the visibility SIP, this assessment will then be 

addressed in the SIP rev ision. 

It is our intention to cooperate in every way with the US. Forest 'Service to 

preserve visibility in Tennessee's Federal Class I areas. We look forward to 

working closeb with you to fulfill this goal. 

If you have aq questions concerning this letter, please feel free to con tact me or

Dear -W. Hodges: . . . .> .; .. 

This is in response to your request for the identification of any 

visibility impairment in Great Smoky Mountains National Park which has 

been documented by the National Park Service (NPS). . As you may know, the 

NPS has been monitoring visibility in Great Smoky Mountains National Park 

at the Uok ~ock Station since 1981. 

Our monitoring has documented widespread visibility degradation primarily 

manifested as a regional haze. Laboratory analyses of air samples 

collected at our monitoring station indicate that sulfate aerosols 

resulting from anthrowgenic sulfur emissions are the principal components 

of this pervasive haze. However, we have not identified specific plume 

impacts in the park or haze layers reasonably attributable to any specific 

source( s) . At such time that plume or layered-haze impacts are identified

Dear Yf. Ckistiano: 

.The Tennessee Air Pollution Contral'Division is currently in the process or' 

developing a visibility state .implementation plan (SIP) . Part of' the federal 

requiremenzs for the visibility SIP development require the identsication of 

visibility imuairnenc in the Federal Class I areas by the State or Federal 

Land bnager (FLY). This buairment mst be identsied at least: 6 months 

prior to the SIP or SIP revision submittal in order to allow the State enough 

t~ke to dwelop a plan to remedy the impairment (F.R. 45-233-80086). The 

State or' Tennessee has not identified any visible impaimenc for Eederal Clzss 

I areas at this t-me nor have we received any such notification from the ELX. 

Theref ore, I am formally requesting any inf orsation concernno, visibility ikpairment &icn has been identified by the National Park Service for zhe Great 

Smoky Nomtains National Park. Please include a list of any sources wnich 

may require a Best Available.Retrofit Technology (BART) assessment. I am 

also requesting that this information be submitted to this Division within 

60 days ai receipt of this letter.. 

Since ourprojected date for the visibility SIP submittal is May 6, 1985 znd 

no visibi7ity imuairment has been identified to. date., we are not addressing 

existingvisibility impairment in the SIP draft. Our intention then is to 

state in aur SIP that no visible inuairnent has been-identified in Temessee's 

Federal Class I areas and to address ody future visibility impairment that 

may be c-tif ied to the state. However, Ff the FT,$f certifies exist-bg vrsibility Wairaent within 6 months of the submittal of any revisions to the 

visibilLT SIP, this assessment will then be addressed in the SIP revisionIt is om intention to cooperate in every way with the National Park Senice 

to pres-e visibility in Tennessee's Federal Class I areas. We look fornard 

to working closely with you to fulfill this goal.
