. 3 Any documents we receive today will also be 4 part of the record of hearing
. 5 Why don't we just go back
. We'll go to the 6 explanation of the proposal
. 7 MS
. MORIN : As Steve said, this 8 hearing regards two proposed amendments to Rhode 9 Island's State Implementation Plan (SIP)
. 10 The first is the Rhode Island Attainment Plan 11 for the 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 12 Standard
. 13 In 1997, EPA revised its ambient air standard 14 for ozone to adopt a standard with an 8-hour 15 averaging time that is more stringent than the 16 previous one-hour standard
. Ozone levels in Rhode 17 Island exceeded that standard in the summer months, 18 and, based on the severity of those accedences, the 19 entire State of Rhode Island was classified by the 20 EPA as a moderate nonattainment area for the 8-hour 21 ozone standard
. 22 As a moderate nonattainment area, Rhode Island 23 is required to be in attainment of the 8-hour ozone 24 standard by June 2010
. Since June is in the middle Page 5

. 4 This document demonstrates, through a 5 combination of photochemical grid modeling and other 6 analyses, that Rhode Island will be in attainment of 7 the 8-hour standard by the 2009 ozone season . 8 This document also includes several other 9 elements that are required for moderate 10 nonattainment areas . Those elements include : 11 A reasonable further progress demonstration 12 showing that Rhode Island's ozone precursor 13 emissions will be reduced by more than 15 percent 14 between 2002 and 2008
. 15 A Reasonably Available Control Technology 16 (RACT) analysis showing that Rhode Island sources 17 are controlled to a level consistent with RACT
. 18 A Reasonably Available Control Measure (RACM) 19 analysis, showing that there are no additional 20 measures that could reasonably be adopted that would 21 result in earlier attainment of the eight-hour 22 standard
. 23 Contingency measures to be implemented if the 24 RFP or attainment milestones are not met

. 2 An Emissions Inventory for Rhode Island 3 sources for 2002
. 4 In the 8-hour attainment demonstration, Rhode 5 Island DEM commits to adopt or amend its regulations 6 for the following source categories to ensure that 7 its regulations are consistent with RACT : 8 Adhesives and Sealants - effective by 1/1/09
. 9 Industrial solvents - effective by 4/1/09

. 10 Asphalt paving - effective by 4/1/09
. 11 Flat wood paneling - effective by 4/1/09
. 12 In addition, if EPA does not propose federal 13 regulations for the Architectural and Industrial 14 Maintenance Coatings and Consumer Products source 15 categories by July 1, 2009, RI DEM commits in the 16 attainment demonstration to adopt regulations for 17 those categories effective 1/1/09
. 18 Rhode Island Department of Environmental 19 Management also is committing to evaluate two new 20 Control Technique Guidelines, one for three types of 21 printing sources and one for three types of surface 22 coatings, to determine whether current regulations 23 should be amended to be consistent with those 24 guidelines, and, if so, to amend applicable

. 2 Revision of the Rhode Island SIP to Address 3 Interstate Transport of Pollutants Affecting 4 Attainment and Maintenance of the 8-hour Ozone and 5 Fine Particulate Matter (PM2 .5) National Ambient Air 6 Quality Standards
. 7 At the same time that the EPA adopted the 8 8-hour ozone standard, July 1997, EPA also revised 9 the standard for fine particulate matter (PM2 .5)
. 10 Rhode Island is in attainment of the PM2 .5 standard, 11 and thus is not required to submit an attainment 12 demonstration for the standard
. However, Section 13 110(a)(2)(d)(i) of the Clean Act requires, upon the 14 promulgation of any new NAAQS, that states submit a 15 SIP revision to the EPA showing that emissions from 16 that State will not : 17 Contribute significantly to nonattainment in, 18 or interfere with maintenance by, any other State 19 with respect to any such national primary or 20 secondary ambient air quality standard ; or interfere 21 with measures required to be included in the 22 applicable implementation plan for any other State 23 to prevent significant deterioration of air quality 24 or to protect visibility

1 This document provides that demonstration for 2 the 1997 standards for ozone and PM2 .5
. The 3 demonstration uses modeling data to show that Rhode 4 Island emissions do not contribute significantly to 5 nonattainment, or interfere with the maintenance of 6 attainment, with the ozone of PM2 .5 standards in 7 downwind states
. It also shows that Rhode Island 8 emissions do not interfere with other states' 9 efforts to prevent significant deterioration of air 10 quality

. In the document, RI DEM commits to assess 11 the impact of its emissions on visibility in other 12 states through an ongoing regional consultation 13 process and with the submission of a SIP for 14 Regional Haze

. I'm the manager of the Health Promotion 19 for the American Lung Association of Rhode Island
. 20 The American Lung Association is, obviously, 21 particularly interested in the effect of air 22 quality
. We have another involvement in the 23 national level
. We have been party to the lawsuits 24 against EPA to make the standards stronger

1 Basically, we are in support of the plan as 2 submitted

. I will be making some other comments on 3 that
. We definitely support the additional control 4 measures that you've identified, and the ones where 5 EPA has not taken action by the middle of this year, 6 we'll proceed and, obviously, evaluating Rhode 7 Island regulations to fit the EPA guidelines

. 8 With the revision of the ozone standard last 9 week, they will continue, even though the Lung 10 Association and many others are not satisfied with, 11 that it is not made even more stringent in order to 12 protect public health, it is still moving in the 13 right direction, and we salute the ongoing regional 14 involvement of Rhode Island with the rest of the 15 region, not only New England, but the rest of the 16 east coast and so on for making this an going 17 process, to make sure that we're not effecting 18 anybody, because there's a number of people downwind 19 areas who will probably end up on attainment on the 20 next version of the standard, as well as continuing 21 to find control measures that could be implemented 22 with it
. 23 Overall, it is good to see that the air 24 quality is improving, but the broad ranging control

### Page 11 1 measures, such as vehicles, are having an effect, 2 and that's basically all I have to say . We are 3 confident that you will continue to make this an 4 ongoing process so that we can continue to move, 5 continue to implement everything you have been able 6 to identify as additional measures and keep moving 7 in that direction

. 8 So, we have no specific comments on any other 9 particular pieces of the point
. 10 MR
. MAJKUT : Great, Molly
. Thanks 11 for coming and thanks for taking the time to go 12 through and comment
. We do appreciate your coming 13 here
. You know, we spend, I don't know, half of our 14 time on ozone-related things, and I know many people 15 in the environmental community have moved on to 16 other stuff, but, you know, but this is still 17 important to us, and

. CLARK : It's not wasted time 3 putting it together for EPA
. It's also useful for 4 environmental and health communities to have it all 5 in one place to look things up in a hurry
