# 3 DISCUSSION:

The purpose of this State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision is to implement Sections 182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 7401 et seq.), with respect to the re quirements for an Emissions Statement and an Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattain ment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi.

PURPOSE OF THE REVISION:

The purpose of this State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision is to implement Sections 182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 7401 et seq.), with respect to the re quirements for an Emissions Statement and an Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattain ment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi.

Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires Margin al and above areas to submit an emissions statement within 2 years of designation as nona ttainment. Specifically it provides that the emissions statement must: “...require that the owner or operator of each stationary source of oxides of nitrogen or volatile organic compounds pr ovide the state with a statement, in such form as the Administrator may prescribe (or an equivalent alternative developed by the state), for classes or categories of sources , showing the actual emissions of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds from that source. The first such statement shall be submitted within 3 years after the date of the enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990. Subsequent statements shall be submitted at least every year thereafter.” Appendix U contains new state regulations which will im plement the Emissions Statement requirement for any areas designated as nonattainment for the National Air Quality Standard for groundlevel ozone. The new regulations are 11 Missi ssippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, Regulations for Ambient Air Quality N onattainment Areas. The regulations are applicable to sources in DeSoto County, Mississi ppi as well as any other areas that might be designated nonattainment in the future.

CAA section 182(a)(1) requires that Marginal and above ozone nonattain ment areas submit a base year emissions inventory for the nona ttainment area 2 years after designation as nonattainment. The emissions are reported as tons/average summer day of pollutant. In accordance with the requirements of EP A’s Emissions Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Ma tter National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regul ations, November 2005, the only pollutants reported are Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and emissions are summed as tons/average summer day for the year 2011. Appendix V contains the Emission Inventory for DeSoto County, Mississippi.

The new proposed regulations will be entitled 11 Mississi ppi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, “Regulations for Ambient Air Qual ity Non-Attainment Areas” and w ill be applicable statewide.

I. Substance of the proposed action:

On July 22, 2012, the United States Environmen tal Protection Agency (EPA) designated a portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi to be included as a part of the Memphis, Tennessee – Mississippi – Arkansas (TN-MS -AR) Marginal Ozone Non-Attainment Area. Therefore, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) to implem ent requirements for certain air emission sources in Non-Attainment Areas to subm it an Emissions Statement annually. The Department is also required to submit an Emissions Inventory of sources in the nonattainment portion of DeSoto County, Mississi ppi. Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the (CAA) requires that within two (2) years of enactment of the C AA Amendments of 1990, states submit to EPA a SIP submittal requiring sour ces in their marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas to submit annual emissions statements.
