## STATEMENT OF RATIONALE
Rules for Air Quality Control

Rule 391-3-1-.Ol(nnnn), Definition of "Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants" (PTM) The basis of the definition of "Proceduresfor Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants is to define that the purpose of the document is to identify those procedures usedfor the purposes intended inthe preceding title. The purpose of the revisionto this rule is to update the effective date to reference a revised PTM. This revision is administrative in nature and does not incur any additional costs to EPD or the regulated entity.

Rule 391-3-1-.02(l)(a)

# - Emission Limitations and Standards, General Provisions The basis of this subparagraph is to spell out applicability and compliance schedules of various emission limitations and standards. The purpose of this revision is to provide clarification of applicability and to provide consistency between the General Provisions and the rules; the purpose of this revision is also to remove compliance dates that are no longer applicable. This revision is administrative in nature and is in no way any more restrictive than the Federal requirementsand does not incur any additional costs to the regulated industry or public.

Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(pp)

# - Bulk Gasoline Plants Bulk gasoline plants are required to comply with Clean Air Act Section 182 as it relates to the implementation of "Reasonably Available Control Technologyn (RACT). The installation and operation of Stage I Vapor Recovery controls is equivalent to RACT for such plants. Stage 

### I Vapor Recovery controls ensure that gasoline vapors are captured and introduced back intothe gasoline supply or flared, and applicable plants must capture the vapors from onsite storage tanks and tanks at gasoline dispensing facilities and transport the vapors back to gasoline terminals where the vapors in most cases are either liquefied or flared. These requirements already apply to plants located in 13 metro-Atlanta counties. The amendment expands applicability to seven additional that were added to the metro-Atlanta ozone non-attainment area under the 8-hour ozone standard. The compliance date for plants in the seven additional counties is June 1, 2008, to coincide with the applicability of rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(rr) for these counties. This is eleven months year earlier than would otherwise be required under the Clean Air Act. Other than the early compliancedate, this revision is in no way more restrictivethan the Federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to

# -Gasoline Dispensing Facility

# - Stage 

### I Gasoline dispensing facilities are requiredto comply with CleanAir Act Section 182 as it relates to the implementation of "Reasonably Available Control Technology." The installation and operation of Stage I Vapor Recovery controls is equivalent to Reasonably Available Control Technology for such facilities. The Stage I equipment installed at the facilities ensure that the gasoline vapors remain in the storage tanks and provide the necessary components for the transport driver to connect vapor-tight recovery lines from the stationary storage tank to the delivery vessel inorder to transfer the vapors to the transportvehicle. The amendmentexpands applicability to seven additional that were added to the metro-Atlanta ozone non-attainmentarea under the 8-hour ozone standard. Gasoline dispensing facilities that dispense 100,000 gallons or more of gasoline per month must comply byJune 1,2008. This is eleven months earlier than would otherwise be required under the Clean Air Act. Facilities that dispense between 50,000 and 100,000 gallons-per-month must comply by November 1, 2008. Applicable facilities that dispense less than 50,000 gallons per month must comply by May I,2009. The applicability dates for facilities that dispense 50,000 gallons or more per month is earlier than that required by the Clean Air Act in order to meet Clean Air Act of Reasonable Further Progress requiredfor moderate ozone non-attainmentareas. Another significant amendmentto this rule is the requirement for the installationof an Enhanced Stage I Gasoline Vapor Recovery System. The rule amendments not only require the new counties to install the enhanced Stage I systems but also for existing stations in the 16 currently covered counties. Subparagraph (rr) is being deleted in its entirety and replaced with new subparagraphs 1. through 16. The Division anticipates that the rule will be easier to read and understand. It also allows the amendmentsto the ruleto be added more clearly. Other than the advanced applicability date for facilities that dispense 50,000 gallons or more of gasoline on a monthly basis, this revision is in no way more restrictive than the Federal requirements and does not incur any additional costs to EPD or the regulated industry beyond what is required by Federal regulations. No costs will be imposed on local governments or the general public.

Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(ss)

# - Gasoline Transport Vehicles andVapor CollectionSystems Gasoline transport vehicles are the primary means of delivery of gasoline and other petroleum products to retail and fleet gasoline dispensing facilities. In order to ensure that gasolinevapors are captured and introduced back into the gasoline supply or flared, gasoline transport vehicles must capture the vapors from stationary storage tanks at gasoline dispensing facilities at the time of delivery and transport the vapors backto gasoline terminals or gasoline bulk plants. The transports must be leak tight and have the necessary hoses and connections to hook up to Stage 

### I Vapor Recovery Systems at gasoline dispensing facilities, gasoline bulk plants, and gasoline terminals where required. The significant amendment to this rule is to expand the applicability to cover gasoline transport vehicles that deliver gasoline to gasoline dispensing facilities in seven additional counties that were added to the Atlanta non-attainmentarea when it was designated non-attainment under the 8-hour ozone standards. The Clean Air Act requires that facilities located in areas that are classified as moderate for the ozone non-attainment

Comments received as of March21, 2008, are summarized inthis memo. Louisiana-Pacific Corp.(LPC) provided written comments on Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(111) "NOx Emissions from Fuel Burning" Comment LPC provided comments in support of the proposed revisions to this rule. LPC comments that the current form of the rule prohibitsthe use of wood waste as a fuel source and is, therefore, an economic disincentivefor the industry as a whole for beneficial modifications and the construction of new sources that use wood waste streams for fuel. LPC also comments that wood waste is a biomass fuel, which is sustainable, andto prohibit its use would result in increased impacts on landfillsaswell as related transportation costs to remove if from the plant. LPC also notes that the use of biomass is consistent with the Proposed State Energy Policy, and the ash produced is a valuable agricultural additive. Response No response required. United States Environmental ProtectionAgency, Region

### 4, provided the following written on the proposed rules. Comment Rule 391-3-I-.Ol(nnnn) -The March 8, 2007, and January I, 2008, documentson "Proceduresfor Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutantsn need to be compared before the date changeto this rule should be made. Eventhough the State providesan overviewof the changes and updatesto this document, EPA and the public should probably review it. 

### A-I8

### Chapter 391-3-1 

### Rules for Air Quality Control
Response The January 1,2008, revisions to the "Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutantsn were made available to the public at EPD'swebsite http:/gaepd.org/environet/l, were available at EPD's offices, or could be requested by phone. This informationwas included inthe public notice. The documentwas e-mailedto U.S. EPA Region 4 on March 7, 2008, following receipt of their comments. Comment Rule 391-3-1-.02(1) "General Provisions"-This rule amendedto remove compliance schedules that are no longer relevant. Specifically, sources insubsection (pp) under Rule 391-3-1-.02(1)6.(i)(ll),and all VOC sources subject to Rule 

### 391-3-1-.02(1)6.(ii)(ll) subject to various subsection inthis rule are being eliminated from the compliance schedule provision. It is unclear what these sources are and why they are no longer subject to these provisions. The State could provide more informationonthe types of sources that are no longer subject to these rules and whether or not this results in increased emissions inthe non-attainment counties. Response The proposed revisionto Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(1)6.(i)(ll) removes Georgia Rule (pp). Georgia Rule (pp) establishes design and work practice standards for the installation and operation of a bulk gasoline plant located in specific counties. Georgia Rule (pp) does not cover operations that meet the phrase "sources used exclusively for chemical or physical analysis or determination of product quality and commercial acceptance" as found in Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(1)6.(i)(ll). The purpose of this revision is to provide clarification of applicability and consistency between the general provisions and Georgia Rule (pp). This revision does not result in an increase inemissions inthe non-attainment area. Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(1)6.(ii)(ll)establishes the schedule for compliance with certainVOC rules that became part of Georgia's I-hourozone SIP in the early 1990s. New sources subject to one of these rules [Georgia Rule(s) (t), (4,(v), (w), (x), (y), (z), @a),(bb), (cc), (dd), (ee), (ff), (hh), (ii), W, (kk), (ll), (mm), (nn), (qq), (tt) and (ww) must comply upon initial startup and not according to the schedule specified in Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.02(1)6.(ii)(ll). Therefore, this schedule does not apply to "new sources". Existing sources that were subject to this compliance schedule were required to come into full compliance before May 31, 1994, and verification of compliance with this requirement has already been conducted. Thus this compliance deadline for applicable sources inthe early 1990s is no longer needed. Comment Rule 391-3-1-.02(2) "NOx Emissions from Fuel-Burning Equipment"

## - It is unclear if the sources eliminated from Rule 391-3-1-.02(2) in Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(111)6.(iii) were covered inthe pre-change rule and iftheir elimination from control results in increased emissions in the 25 counties listed. It is also unclear how the criteriato eliminate the sources (e.g., fuel-burning equipment with annual capacity for wood in excess of 50 percent) and how these criteria were chosen. 

### A section 

### I lO(l) demonstration is necessary. An explanation is also necessary.

### Chapter 391-3-1 Rulesfor Air Quality Control Response There are no existing units that are currently subject to Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(111) which meet the criteria of the proposed exemption for fuel-burning equipment with annual capacity factorfor wood inexcess of 50 percent. Therefore, there is no increase in emissions in any of the 25 counties specified inthe proposed subparagraph G.(iii). When this rule was originally prepared by EPD in 1999, the ability of wood-fired boilers to complywith the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission limitwas not fully examined. Sincethat time, the Division has reviewed the available nitrogen oxides (NOx) control measuresfor wood-fired boilers and determined that there are no reasonably available control technologies that can be applied to wood-fired boilers capable of meeting the NOx emissions limit specified by this rule. Therefore, itwas determined that wood-fired boilers (i.e., those with an annual capacity factor for wood in excess of 50 percent)that are not located in the Atlanta ozone non-attainmentarea should not be subjectto the requirementsof this rule. Since there are no existing sources affected by this rule change, and thus no increase in emissions associated with the proposed rule change, the Divisiondoes not believethat a 1lO(1) demonstration is required. However, if one is necessary, it will be included in the Metro Atlanta ozone attainment plan (which is required to be submitted to U.S. EPA by December 31, 2008.) Comment Rules 391-3-I-.02(2)(rr) [Section 16 subsection (vi), (tt), 

### (w), (yy), (ccc), (ddd), (eee), (hhh), and (rrr)] -The compliance datefor all of these rules may need to be changedfrom May 1, 2009,to March 1,2009. All control measures needed for attainment must be implemented no later than the beginning of the attainmentyear ozone season. The beginning of the attainmentyear ozone season is March 1, 2009. Response The proposed rule extends the applicabilityof existing rules to seven additional counties (Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Hall, Newton, Spalding, and Walton Counties)for Rules 391-3-1-.02(2)(rr)and (rrr) and one additional county (Barrow County)for Rules391-3-1-.02(2)(tt), (w),(yy), (ccc), (ddd), (eee), and (hhh). There are no existing sources located in any of the seven additional counties that will be subject to Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(rrr). There are no existing sources located in Barrow County that will be subject to Rules391-3-1-.02(2)(w), (ccc), (ddd), (eee), or (hhh). Therefore, there will be no control measures required as a result of the changes to these six rules. (This will be documented when this rule change is submitted for SIP revision with the Atlanta ozone attainment plan.) There is one existing source located in Barrow County that will potentially be subject to the requirementsof rules 391-3-1-.02(2)(tt)and (yy). The Division is currently working with this sourceto determine reasonably available control technology (RACT) for VOC and NOxfor this source. Therefore,the Division cannot determine at this point if additional control measureswill be requiredas a resultof the revision to Rules 391-3-1-.02(2)(tt)and 

### (yy) Nevertheless, the Division intends to propose amendmentof Rules 391-3-1-.02(2)(tt) and (yy) in a future rulemaking to change the compliance date for Barrow Countyto March 1,2009. The Division also intendsto propose amendments to changethe compliance date in Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(rr)for gasoline dispensing facilities that dispense less than 50,000 gallons-per-month to March 1,2009, in a future rulemaking. Notethat the Division will not be taking credit for any of the control measures required by the Rule revisions listed inthis comment in the attainment demonstration of the Atlanta Ozone SIP.

Couch, Ph.D., Director Phone: 40413624842 Fax: 4041363-71 00 March 21, 2008 MEMORANDUM TO: CarolA. Couch Director, Environmental Protection Division FROM: Teresa Shiflett Ombudsman, Small Business EnvironmentalAssistance Program SUBJECT: Economic Impact of ProposedAmendments to the Rules for Air Quality Control Pertaining to Rule 391-3-1

TheAdministrative ProceduresAct requires that in the formation and adoption of any rules which will have an economic impact on businesses in the State, attempts be madeto reducethe economic impact of the Rule on small businesseswhich are independently owned and operated and are notdominant in the field and employ 100employees or less. The statute specifically requires that four actions be considered in reducingthe economic impact. These four actions are: 1. Establishing different requirementsor reporting requirements or timetablesfor small businesses; 2. Clarify, consolidateor simplify the compliance and reporting requirements underthe Rulefor small businesses;
3. Establish performance rather than design standards for small businesses; or 4. Exempt small businesses from any or all requirements of the Rules. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) is proposing amendments to the Rules for Air Quality Control, Chapter 391-3-1 (Air Quality Rules). The proposed Air Quality Rules include amendments to the following: Rule 391-3-1-.Ol(nnnn), the definition of "Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants:to reference the most recent revision of the PTM.

### 3 Inconsiderationof the four actions required inthe State statute for the proposed changes to the Air Quality Rules,we offer the following comments on the proposed rule amendments: 1. Differentcompliance or reportinq requirements for small businesses: This issue is not germane for the proposed rule changes.
2. Consolidateand/or simplify complianceor reporting requirements for small businesses: This issue is not germanefor the proposed rule changes. 

### 3. Performance ratherthan desiqn standards for small businesses: This issue is not germanefor the proposed rule changes.
4. Exemptions for small businesses: This issue is not germanefor the proposed rule changes. Inaddition, the Administrative Procedures Act requires that "...in the formulation and adoptionof any rule, an agency shall choose an alternativethat does not impose excessive regulatorycosts on any regulated person or entity which costs could be reduced by a less expensive alternative that fully accomplishes the stated objectivesof the statutes which are the basis of the proposed rule." We have carefully evaluated the impactof the proposed rule amendments upon the regulated community, and, after careful consideration of same, have determinedthat the proposed rule amendments do not impose excessive regulatory costs on any regulated person or entity, which costs could be reduced by a less expensive alternative that fully accomplishes the stated objectives of the Georgia Air QualityAct.
