Subject: SIP Revision Request from the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality 

Dear Mr. Darwin, 

On November 5, 2012 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published two actions 

regarding the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) found at 77 FR 66398 and 77 FR 66405. 

In 77 FR 66398 the EPA published a final rule approving in part and disapproving in part SIP 

revisions submitted by the State of Arizona pursuant to the requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) for the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the 1997 

and 2006 NAAQS for fine particulate matter (PM2.5). At 77 FR 66400 the final rule specifies 

that Arizona’s conflict of interest statute leaves a gap with respect to the CAA section 128(a)(1) 

requirement that boards that approve permits or enforcement orders have “at least a majority of 

members who represent the public interest and do not derive any significant portion of their 

income from persons subject to permits and enforcement orders under [the Act]”. The final rule 

then specifies that Pima County Code (PCC) 17.04.190 extends this majority membership 

requirement to interests in persons subject to enforcement orders, and that such a provision could 

be submitted for incorporation into the Arizona SIP. Pima County Department of Environmental 

Quality is submitting PCC 17.04.190 for incorporation into the SIP. 

In 77 FR 66405, the EPA published a final rule which finalized approval of revisions to the 

Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and Maricopa County Air Quality 

portions of the Arizona SIP; however, the final rule specifically states that the EPA “proposed 

approval of [Pima County Department of Environmental Quality] Rules 17.12.040 and 17.24.040 

contingent upon EPA’s receipt of fully adopted rules that satisfy state and local procedural

Hi Sarah, 

A certified copy of just the relevant sections of each Ordinance should be fine, but can you also include pages 

that show the title, chapter, and article for each relevant rule? I'm guessing these pages would be at the beginning 

of each ordinance but I haven't seen the hardcopy version of the Pima County Code. 

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Subject: Questions regarding Pima County and SIP Revision 

Dear Mr. Smith and Mr. Buss, 

 

I wanted to drop a line and introduce myself and also request information for Pima County Department of Environmental

Quality (PDEQ) in Arizona.  I am the new Regulatory Program Manager at PDEQ and will be working on our County Rules,

and also working on SIP revisions (following SIP Revision procedure).  PDEQ will be submitting three PDEQ Rules for

incorporation into the Arizona SIP, as a revision of the Infrastructure SIP. 

 

Pima County has fully adopted the Rules within Pima County Code (PCC) that were called out in the following: the Partial

Approval and Disapproval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Infrastructure Requirements for Ozone and Fine Particulate

Matter (Final Rule EPA‐R09‐OAR‐2012‐0398; FRL‐9745‐8), and Revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan, Arizona

Dept. of Environmental Quality and Maricopa County Air Quality Department (Final Rule EPA‐R09‐OAR‐2012‐0470; FRL‐

9740‐2). 

 

The PDEQ Rules noted are PCC 17.04.190, PCC 17.12.040, and PCC 17.24.040.  PDEQ would like to submit the fully adopted

rules as a SIP Revision in order to satisfy state and local procedural requirements for SIP submittals.  In order to expedite

Page 1 of 2
the process, PDEQ would like EPA to verify exactly what is required for documentation of the fully adopted Pima County

Code.  In the past, PDEQ has requested a Certified Copy of each Ordinance, from the Pima County Clerk of the Board, which

included the Pima County Code being submitted for inclusion in the SIP.  However, many of the Ordinances are quite

lengthy (200+ pages) and PDEQ would like to submit a Certified Copy of the relevant sections of each Ordinance covering

the fully adopted Pima County Code rather than submit the Certified Copy of the entire Ordinance.

 

Please let me know if EPA would accept a submittal of a Certified Copy of just the relevant sections of each Ordinance, or if

the entirety of each Ordinance would need to be submitted.   

 

Thank you for your time.

Appendix 2 
This submittal will add two rules to the existing approved plan, in particular the Pima County 

portion of the Arizona SIP. The two rules that will be added are PCC 17.04.190 and 17.24.040. 

The text of these rules is provided here, additions to the SIP are underlined. 

17.04.190 Composition. 

A. The hearing board shall consist of five members, none of whom is an employee of 

the county or of the state or any of its political subdivisions. 

1. The five members shall be knowledgeable in the field of air pollution control. 

2. One member shall have been admitted to the practice of law in the state. 

3. One member shall be a duly licensed practitioner of medicine in the state. 

4. One member shall be a registered professional engineer in the state. 

B. At least a majority of the hearing board members shall not individually have a 

substantial interest in an emission source subject to permits or enforcement orders 

issued pursuant to this title. Substantial interest means any interest other than a 

remote interest as defined in A.R.S. 38-502, paragraph 10. 

17.24.040 Reporting for compliance evaluations. 

When the control officer has reasonable cause to believe that a person is emitting or 

capable of emitting an air contaminant to the air or is violating a provision of the Title, a 

permit condition, or a requirement of a conditional order issued according to this title, he 

may require in writing that such person produce all existing books, records, or other 

documents which might reasonably contain evidence needed to determine compliance or 

noncompliance with this title. Such information shall be supplied to the control officer 

promptly upon request or in accordance with other conditions stated herein. 

 
This submittal will make one change to the existing approved plan, in particular the Pima County 

portion of the Arizona SIP. PCC 17.12.040: Reporting requirements will replace SIP Rule 622: 

Reporting as a Permit Requirement. SIP Rule 622 is found in the Pima County portion of the 

Arizona State Implementation Plan, Chapter 6: Recordkeeping and Reporting – Regulation 62: 

Reporting Requirements: Rule 622. A strikeout of Rule 622 is provided with the text of the 

replacement rule, PCC 17.12.40, which is underlined, as it is an addition to the SIP. 

Rule 622: Reporting as a Permit Requirement 

A. As established in other RULES herein, the Control Officer may require special 

reporting provisions as a condition of permit, and the Hearing Board may require 

reporting requirements for a Conditional Permit. Such reporting requirements shall 

be fulfilled by the permittee according to the written conditions of the permit. 

PCC 17.12.040: Reporting requirements 

A. The owner or operator of any source shall report to the Control Officer any 

emissions in excess of the limits established by this Chapter or the applicable permit. 

The report shall be in 2 parts as specified below: 

1. Notification by telephone or facsimile within 24 hours of the time the owner or 

operator first learned of the occurrence of excess emissions that includes all 

available information from subsection (B). 

2. Detailed written notification by submission of an excess emissions report within 

72 hours of the notification under subsection (1). 

B. The excess emissions report shall contain the following information: 

1. The identity of each stack or other emission point where the excess emissions 

occurred; 

2. The magnitude of the excess emissions expressed in the units of the applicable 

emission limitation and the operating data and calculations used in determining 

the magnitude of the excess emissions; 

3. The time and duration or expected duration of the excess emissions; 

4. The identity of the equipment from which the excess emissions emanated; 

5. The nature and cause of the emissions; 

6. The steps taken, if the excess emissions were the result of a malfunction, to 

remedy the malfunction and the steps taken or planned to prevent the recurrence 

of the malfunctions; 

7. The steps that were or are being taken to limit the excess emissions; and 

8. If the source's permit contains procedures governing source operation during 

periods of startup or malfunction and the excess emissions resulted from startup 

or malfunction, a list of the steps taken to comply with the permit procedures. 
C. In the case of continuous or recurring excess emissions, the notification requirements 

of this Section shall be satisfied if the source provides the required notification after 

excess emissions are first detected and includes in the notification an estimate of the 

time the excess emissions will continue. Excess emissions occurring after the 

estimated time period or changes in the nature of the emissions as originally reported 

shall require additional notification pursuant to subsections (A) and (B).

pertaining to Pima County in the Federal Register (FR) regarding the Arizona State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). A State Implementation Plan is a federally approved and 

enforceable plan by which the state identifies how it will meet and/or maintain the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The EPA determined that there are three rules 

required for an infrastructure SIP that are not currently in the Pima County portion of the 

Arizona SIP. These rules are already in place in Pima County Code (PCC), but need to be 

submitted to the EPA through the formal SIP public process. In response to the EPA actions 

published in the FR, PDEQ is proposing to submit PCC 17.04.190, PCC 17.12.040, and PCC 

17.24.040 for incorporation into the Arizona SIP. 

Pima County is holding a stakeholders meeting to educate the public regarding the Pima County 

portion of the SIP and inform the public of the proposed revisions to the SIP. 

One of the areas of the SIP pertaining to Pima County in which EPA found a “gap” was 

regarding the composition of the Pima County Air Quality Hearing Board. This rule is already 

in PCC (17.04.190) and assures that at least a majority of members of the hearing board who 

represent the public interest do not derive any significant portion of their income from persons 

subject to permits and enforcement orders. 

The other two SIP “gap” areas highlighted by EPA are titled “Reporting for Compliance 

Evaluations” and “Reporting Requirements” and pertain to requirements related to complying 

with air quality permits. These two provisions have gone through the PCC public process in the 

past and are in PCC (17.24.040 and 17.12.040). In addition to the stakeholders meeting, PDEQ 

will be providing the opportunity for the public to comment on the regulations and attend a 

public hearing. The public comment period and the public hearing will satisfy the EPA’s 

requirements for SIP submittals. 

We look forward to your participation in the stakeholder meeting and the SIP revision process.

Thank you very much for taking the time to attend our Public Meeting. 
Summary of Revisions to the Pima County Portion 

of the Arizona State Implementation Plan 

On November 5, 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published two actions 

pertaining to Pima County in the Federal Register (FR) regarding the Arizona State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). A State Implementation Plan is a federally approved and 

enforceable plan by which the state identifies how it will meet and/or maintain the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The EPA determined that there are three rules 

required for an infrastructure SIP that are not currently in the Pima County portion of the 

Arizona SIP. These rules are already in place in Pima County Code (PCC), but need to be 

submitted to the EPA through the formal SIP public process. In response to the EPA actions 

published in the FR, PDEQ is proposing to submit PCC 17.04.190, PCC 17.12.040, and PCC 

17.24.040 for incorporation into the Arizona SIP. 

Pima County is holding a stakeholders meeting to educate the public regarding the Pima County 

portion of the SIP and inform the public of the proposed revisions to the SIP. 

One of the areas of the SIP pertaining to Pima County in which EPA found a “gap” was 

regarding the composition of the Pima County Air Quality Hearing Board. This rule is already 

in PCC (17.04.190) and assures that at least a majority of members of the hearing board who 

represent the public interest do not derive any significant portion of their income from persons 

subject to permits and enforcement orders. 

The other two SIP “gap” areas highlighted by EPA are titled “Reporting for Compliance 

Evaluations” and “Reporting Requirements” and pertain to requirements related to complying 

with air quality permits. These two provisions have gone through the PCC public process in the 

past and are in PCC (17.24.040 and 17.12.040). In addition to the stakeholders meeting, PDEQ 

will be providing the opportunity for the public to comment on the regulations and attend a 

public hearing. The public comment period and the public hearing will satisfy the EPA’s 

requirements for SIP submittals. 

We look forward to your participation in the stakeholder meeting and the SIP revision process.

PUBLIC NOTICE RELATED TO AIR QUALITY 

PROPOSING TO REVISE THE PIMA COUNTY PORTION OF THE 

ARIZONA STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 

The Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) is proposing revisions to 

the Pima County portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan under Clean Air Act 

Section 110 (a)(1) and (2) – implementation of the following: the 1997 National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), the 2006 PM2.5

NAAQS, the 1997 8-hour Ozone (O3) NAAQS. The proposed revision to the Arizona 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) includes the following rules from Pima County Code 

Title 17: PCC 17.04.190, PCC 17.12.040, and PCC 17.24.040. This SIP revision is in 

response to two final rules published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) on November 5, 2012 (77 FR 66c98 and 77 FR 66405) specifically citing these 

three provisions and noting that EPA proposes approval of these rules contingent upon

Implementation Plan. Pima County will have affidavits of publication from both newspapers

for two publication dates of this Public Notice (September 23, 2013 and September 30,

2013). I have only attached today’s publications because these meet the requirements of 40

CFR Appendix V Section 51.102, including the 30-day Public Hearing Notice and Public

Comment Period Notification.

(SIP) includes the following rules from Pima County Code Title 17: PCC 17.04.190, PCC

17.12.040, and PCC 17.24.040. This SIP revision is in response to two final rules published

by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on November 5, 2012 (77 FR 66c98 and

77 FR 66405) specifically citing these three provisions and noting that EPA proposes

approval of these rules contingent upon EPA’s receipt of fully adopted rules that satisfy state

and local procedural requirements for SIP submittals.

A public hearing will be held on Wednesday, October 30, 2013, at or after 2:30 p.m. in the

PUBLIC HEARING 

REGARDING 

THE PROPOSED STATE IMPLEMENTATION 

PLAN REVISIONS 

Wednesday, October 30, 2013 

Hearing Officer: 

Today is Wednesday, October 30, 2013. The time is approximately 2:30 p.m. The location is the 

Joel D. Valdez Main Library, in Tucson, Arizona. I’m the Hearing Officer for today’s 

proceedings representing the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality, or PDEQ. My 

name is Sarah Walters, Regulatory Program Manager and I’ll be presiding at the hearing today. 

Other PDEQ representatives present are: Beth Gorman, PDEQ Communications Senior Project 

Manager Barbara Denny, PDEQ Front Office Administrator, and Richard Grimaldi, Deputy 

Director. 

At this moment, we are conducting a formal public hearing. As the designated air quality control 

district under state law, PDEQ is responsible for developing and administering stationary source 

controls that are to be incorporated into the State Implementation Plan or SIP. These controls are 

required under the Federal Clean Air Act to maintain and protect the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards. The purpose of this hearing is to allow the public the opportunity to enter into 

the record, oral or written comments regarding the proposed revisions to the Pima County 

portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan. Copies of the proposed revisions were made 

available at the PDEQ office and on PDEQ’s website. 

By law, a public hearing must meet certain requirements. PDEQ is conducting this Public 

Hearing in accordance with state law and pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix V. 

Public Hearing requirements are: 

(1) A 30 day advance public notice must be given in two newspapers of general circulation. 

Notice was given on September 23, 2013 and September 30, 2013 in the Arizona Daily Star 

and The Daily Territorial. Notice was also given on PDEQ’s website. 

(2) The Public must be given an opportunity to speak or give written comments during the 

hearing – today the public has the option to do so. 

(3) A hearing must be conducted “on the record” which means that it is recorded in some way. 

Today’s meeting is being recorded. 

This hearing is considered a “formal public hearing” under state law. A formal public hearing is 

different from a public meeting or open house. In a public meeting there is an opportunity for 

questions and answers between the general public and the department. That opportunity was held 

here on September 19, 2013. As this is a formal public hearing today, the representatives of the 
department will not formally answer any questions. In other words, neither I, nor anyone from 

the department, will be answering questions today. Pima County staff will be available for a 

short time after the hearing to clarify any questions about the revisions to the Pima County 

portion of the Arizona SIP. At a later date, PDEQ will prepare a written response to all questions 

and comments entered into the record regarding the proposed revisions to the Pima County 

portion of the Arizona SIP. If you have questions about the revisions, please include them in 

your comments. All comments and questions should address the revisions to the Pima County 

portion of the Arizona SIP only. 

The agenda for today’s hearing is as follows: First, there will be a brief summary about the 

revisions to the Pima County portion of the Arizona SIP, and then I’ll begin to call speakers in 

the order they are signed in, so as to begin taking public comment. As this is a very structured 

proceeding, please follow the instructions for making public comment. If you wish to comment, 

you must fill out a speaker slip that is available at the entrance and give it to Beth Gorman. This 

procedure will allow everyone an opportunity to be heard and allow us to later match the name 

of the official...on the official record with the speaker on the rec...recording. I will call 

individuals in the order that speaker slips were submitted. Please print your name to help ensure 

that we spell it correctly and it is in the record. We ask that comments be limited to 3 minutes so 

everyone who wishes to make a comment is given the opportunity to do so. You may also submit 

written comments today. Written comments shall also be submitted to Beth Gorman. If you wish 

to do so, you may make both oral and written comments in the process. 

Once again, the purpose of this hearing is to receive comment from the public on the proposed 

revision to the Pima County portion of the Arizona SIP only. By law, all the comments made 

here, or in writing, are considered by PDEQ before making the final decision regarding the 

proposed revisions. The department must evaluate, in writing, all comments, both written and 

verbal that are received. This document is known as a Response to Comments Summary. It will 

be available at the time the department makes a final decision regarding the proposed revisions. 

If you wish to be notified of the decision made by the department, please be sure to sign the 

attendance sheet located at the entrance and indicate that you would like to be notified of the 

final revisions to the Pima County portion of the Arizona SIP. 

I will now give a brief summary of the revisions to the Pima County portion of the Arizona State 

Implementation Plan. 

On November 5, 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published two actions 

pertaining to Pima County in the Federal Register regarding the Arizona State Implementation 

Plan. A State Implementation Plan, or SIP, is a federally approved and enforceable plan by 

which the state identifies how it will meet and/or maintain the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards. The EPA determined that there are two rules required for an infrastructure SIP that 

are not currently in the Pima County portion of the Arizona SIP, and one rule which will replace 

a SIP approved rule. These rules are already in place in Pima County Code, but need to be 

submitted to the EPA through the formal SIP public process. In response to the EPA actions 

published in the F the Federal Register, PDEQ is proposing to submit Pima County Code 

17.04.190, Pima County Code 17.12.040, and Pima County Code 17.24.040 for incorporation 

into the Arizona SIP. 

One of the areas of the SIP pertaining to Pima County in which EPA found a “gap” was 

regarding the composition of the Pima County Air Quality Hearing Board. This rule is already 

in Pima County Code (17.04.190) and assures that at least a majority of members of the hearing 
board who represent the public interest do not derive any significant portion of their income from 

persons subject to permits and enforcement orders. 

The other two SIP “gap” areas highlighted by EPA are titled “Reporting for Compliance 

Evaluations” and “Reporting Requirements” and pertain to requirements related to complying 

with air quality permits. These two provisions have gone through the Pima County Code public 

process in the past and are in Pima County Code (17.24.040 and 17.12.040). Pima County Code 

17.24.040 (titled Reporting for Compliance Evaluations) is not currently in the SIP and is being 

submitted for inclusion with this revision. Pima County Code 17.12 [sic] .040 (titled Reporting 

Requirements) will re...replace...will replace SIP Rule 622 (titled Reporting as a Permit 

Requirement). 

This revision to the SIP will be submitted to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, 

or ADEQ, for incorporation into the Arizona SIP, and for submittal by ADEQ to the U S 

Environmental Protection Agency to demonstrate compliance with program elements required 

for an “infrastructure SIP” by Clean Air Act Section 110 (a) (1) and (2). 

This marks the end of the SIP revision summary. We will now begin taking formal comments. I 

would again like to remind people that if you wish to speak, please complete one of the speaker 

forms and hand them to Ms. Gorman. I’ll shortly begin calling up speakers to take public 

comment. To ease transcribing of the hearing, please speak clearly and into the microphone. 

Begin by giving your name so it can be entered into the record. 

-------------------------------End of Introduction------------------------------------ 

----------------------Going off record----------------------- 

Seeing no speakers coming forward, we will go off record and give time for others that may be 

on their way. The time is now 2:42 

----------------------Going back on record----------------------- 

The time is now 3:30pm. We are back on record and will proceed with the hearing. 

--------------------------------Closing the Hearing---------------------------- 

I would like to give a final opportunity for anyone to give comment. 

Seeing that there are no further comments, I would like to remind people that the department’s 

Response to Comments document will be developed and will be available in the near future (if 

other comments are received). If you would like this document sent to you, please make sure that 

your name and address are clearly printed on the sign-in sheet so we can send those...these 

documents out to you. You may also leave your e-mail address and we can send them to you that 

way as well. 

At this point, I will now close the hearing. Thank you for attending. The comment period for this 

proposed revision to the Pima County portion of the Arizona SIP ends October 30, 2013 at 

5:00pm. Your interest is appreciated. Today’s date is Wednesday, October 30th, 2013, the time 

is 3:31pm. 

This public hearing is now adjourned.
