# Infrastructure, Rule, and Program SIPs

Infrastructure SIPs

When EPA establishes a new National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) or revises an existing NAAQS, the federal Clean Air Act requires Washington to develop an infrastructure State Implementation Plan (SIP). The infrastructure SIP demonstrates that Washington has the n ecessary legal authority, regulatory structure, and sufficient resources to implement the NAAQS statewide.

Rule SIPS

Washington usually submits rules (Washington Administrative Codes or WACs) along with a SIP as enforceable means to carry out the con trol strategy in any type of SIP

. Sometimes, rules are even submitted as standalone SIP revisions. When EPA approves a rule as part of Washington’s SIP, the rule becomes “federally

- enforceable.” That is, if Washington does not implement the rule, EPA or ci tizens can step in and enforce the rule at the federal level.

— or s trengthen the SIP and whether or not they should be incorporated into it. More information



### Benton Clean Air Agency revised it s general air quality rules after a public comment period and hearing. The rules were approved by the agency’s local Board of Directors in December 2014. Including these revised, locally

approved rules into the state’s plan is required by the Clean Air Act , will continue to meet and maintain federal air quality, and will provide the public, industry, and EPA with a consistent set of rules that apply in BCAA’s jurisdiction.

After this co mment period, Ecology will submit Benton’s rules to EPA to approve and include in the SIP. EPA will then hold an additional comment period. Learn more about your opportun ity to provide input on state implementation plans.

## General Air Quality Rules

- Chapter 173

- 400 WAC
Washington’s general air quality rules ( Chapter 173

- 400 Washington
Administrative Code ) include, but aren’t limited to permitting programs, emissions standards and limits, visibility protection and administrative
prov isions. They apply statewide, except where EFSEC or a local agency has adopted and implemented its own rules.

Ecology is the state air quality agency and so we developed and implement Washington’s general air quality rule ( Chapter 173

- 400 Washington
Administrative Code ). We regulate air pollution sources where there is no local air quality agency and all major sources of air pollution that are required to have a permit ( Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits ).

There are seven Washington Clean Air Agencies . These local agencies regulate air pollution sources in their jurisdictions only. In addition, the Energy Facility
Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) regulates major energy facilities in Washington.



# U pdating the General Air Quality Rules into the SIP

State and local rules are a major part of Washington's program to meet federal air quality standards. They are reflected in the State Implementation
Plan (SIP). Periodically, state and local air quality agencies revise their rules. Revisions may be in response to changes in state law or changes in federal rules.

If Ecology, the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC), or a local agency revises its rules, Ecology must submit the rule revisions to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) so they can be updated in Washington’s SIP. This ensures that the SI P is current. If we weren’t to revise the SIP to reflect these new rules, parts of the SIP would be outdated and not consistent with the rules. Once the EPA approves the revisions they become part of the SIP

— consistent with local, state, and federal laws

— and federally enforceable.

In addition to opportunities to comment during agency rule

- making, Ecology also provides opportunities for public comment when these rules need to be submitted to the EPA as revisions to the SIP.

### 13 Over the next few years, local air agencies and EFSEC will be updating their general air quality rules and submitting them to Ecology as revisions to the SIP. BCAA is the first agency to submit these rules for inclusion into the SIP

.

See below for more information on submitting comments and requesting public hearings

. 

## General steps in the process

 EFSEC and each local air quality agency develop revisions to their rules. EPA and Ecology staff work with each agency to ensure the draft language is appropriate for the State Implementation Plan.



###  Local air agencies adopt rules according to its process

- which includes an opportunity for the public to comment

- and the state Administrative
Procedures Act

.



###  Each agency develops a SIP submittal package that includes the portions of their rules to be included in the state plan, along with supporting
documentation.



###  Ecology holds a public comment period and offers a public hearing to
include ind ividual agency rules in the state plan. If possible, Ecology holds a revision hearing the same day the local agency adopts its rules. Otherwise, Ecology will schedule a hearing at another time. If time allows, Ecology may schedule one hearing to include se veral agencies' rules into the state plan.



###  Ecology submits rules to EPA in groups as local agencies complete their rule adoption and hearing processes.



###  EPA reviews the submittals and publishes a proposed action in the Federal Register. A 30

- 60 day publ ic review and comment period begins when this notice is published. If a state fails to submit an approvable plan or if EPA disapproves a plan, EPA is required to develop a federal implementation plan (FIP).


## Ecology’s most recent general air quality rules update to the SIP
Ecology revised the state’s general air quality rules (Chapter 173

- 400 WAC) several times since it was last approved into the State Implementation Plan in the 1990s. In 2014, Ecology asked EPA to review and approve most of its updated SIP regulations adopted in November 2012. Only the parts used to protect and maintain federal air quality standards were included in the SIP.
See the Rules table on the Infrastructure, Rules and Program SIP page for

### 14 more information on Ecology’s most recent general air quality rules SIP
submittal.


## Submitting comments and requesting public hearings Commenting on local rule revisions

Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) and local clean air agencies must offer a public comment period and hearing when they revise their rules. You can comment in person at public hearings, or in writing to the appropr iate agency at any time during the comment period. Each agency responds to comments after the comment period closes. Contact the local clean air agencies or EFSEC directly to learn about their rule

- making activities.



###  Local Clean Air Agencies



###  EFSEC Contact


## Commenting on SIP revision submittal packages
After EFSEC and local agencies adopt their rules; they will prepare SIP revision submittal packages and send to Ecology. Ecology will hold a public comment period and offer a public hearing. During this comment period, Ecology will be asking whether or not these recently adopted local rules would
continue to maintain

— or strengthen the SIP and whether or not they should be incorporated into it.


## SIP revision submittal package public hearings

A SIP revision submittal package hearing may be held at the same time as the rules adoption hearing, but most often they are held at a later date. Ecology will announce all SIP revision submittal public hearings on our SIP webpage
and the public involvement calendar . Ecology will respond to comments received on the SIP revisions before sending t he submittal package to the EPA for their approval.

EPA reviews the submittals and publishes a proposed action in the Federal Register . A 30

- 60 day public review and comment period begins when this notice is published so the public has an additional opportunity to comment on EPA's proposed action. EPA also considers public input before taking final action on a state's implementation plan.

### About Washington’s air quality plan

The federal Clean Air Act requires Washington to develop and maintain a state air quality plan called State Implementation Plan (SIP ). A SIP is a complex collection of documents and rules that have been adopted by local clean air agencies and Ecology. Washington‘s SIP shows how the state implements, maintains and enforces federal air quality standards throughout the state. The primary purpose of a SIP is to protect human health.

## Get Your Firewood Ready Now

One of the simplest ways to achieve a hot fire and cleaner wood burning is to burn properly seasoned firewood. Now is the time to acquire your firewood to let it season for six months before you need it next fall. Using only dry, seasoned firewood will help you get the most heat you can from your firewood, saving you money. If you have a moisture meter, insert the meter tip into the long side of a split piece of wood and test it. Firewood with 20% or les s moisture is ready to
burn.

More information on burning wood in your woodstove is here

## BRIGHT IDEA

If every American household replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified bulb, we would save enough energy to light more than 3 million homes for a year, more than $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions of more than 800,000 cars.

Compact fluorescent light bulbs use about 75% less energy, last up to 10 times longer and produce 90% less heat than standard incandescent bulbs. Using a compact fluorescent light bulb can save more than $30 in energy costs over the
lifetime of the bulb.

Public Comment

State of Washington

- Notice of Hearing and Opportunity to Comment

The Department of Ecology (Ecology) is seeking comments on a proposed revision to
the state air quality plan, called a State Implementation Plan (SIP). Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) asked Ecology to adopt the SIP revision on June 15, 2015 and submit it to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. The proposed SIP
revision en sures that the general air quality regulations that apply to sources within Benton Clean Air Agency’s (BCAA’s) jurisdiction are included in the SIP in place of the outdated SIP provisions. Once approved, citizens and EPA can then enforce SIP provisions in federal court.

This revision to the SIP is required to meet federal requirements from the EPA and maintain compliance with federal air quality standards within Benton County. The SIP revision does not amend any state or local rules. The proposed SI P revision is available for review on Ecology’s website at: http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/sips/plans/infrastructure.htm

## Windbl own Dust

Three unusual thunderstorms created strong winds and dust in eastern Washington, including Benton County in 2013. The storms overwhelmed agriculture erosion controls and caused air pollution from dust to exceed federal standards. The Washington S tate Department of Ecology is asking the EPA to consider the storms "Exceptional Events" when determining compliance with air quality standards.

Subject: General Air Quality rules to be submitted to EPA for inclusion into the state air quality plan.
Good afternoon. Robin Priddy asked me to let you know about our project and comment period since you commented on Benton rules during their public comment period last year. We are asking for public comment on submitting some of BCAA’s general air quality rules (and applies in for Benton county only) to EPA. Robin said your comments were focused on asbestos. While these sections won’t be part of the submittal, Robin thought you might be interested in this project in any case. The comment period opened today; comments will be accepted until 8/14.
Visit the 400 rules page on Ecology’s website. This explains the process. We are not changing any of Benton’s rules, just submitting some of Benton’s general air quality rules to EP A to be incorporated into Washington’s State Implementation Plan.
If you have any questions, please call me. Thanks,
