EPA REQUIREMENT STATE SUBMITTAL

1. Identification of all regulated pollutants affected by the plan. 1. Chapter 1 o f the Maintenance Plan show s that nitrogen oxides (N Ox )

, sulfur oxides ( SO 2 ), PM 2.5 , ammonia (NH 3 ), and volatile organic compounds ( VOC ) are the pollutants affected by the plan. X

2. Identification of the locations of affected sources including the EPA attainment/nonattainment designation of the locations and the status of the attainment plan for the affected a rea(s). 2. R ed esignation affects the Pittsburgh

- Beaver Valley 1997

annual and 2006 24

- hour PM 2.5 nonattainment a rea comprised

of Beaver, Butler, Washington, Westmoreland C ounties and portions of Alle gheny, Armstrong, Green and Law rence Counties , PA. EPA made a Clean Data Determination that the

Area had attained the 1997 annual PM 2.5 national ambient air quality standard ( NAAQS ) on October 12, 2012 ; and the 2006

24

- hour PM 2.5 NAAQS on May 2, 2014 , thereby suspending the requirement for an attainment plan. X

3. Quantification of the changes in plan allowable emissions from the affected sources; estimates of changes in current actual emissions from affected sources or, where appropriate, quantification of changes in actual emissions from affected

s ources through calculations of the differences between certain baseline levels and allowable emissions anticipated as a result

of the revision. 3. The submittal provides 2007 actual emissions from point, area, nonroad, and on

- road source categories as the attainment year inventory, which may not be exc eeded during the period

of the maintenance plan. Projection inventories were calculated to show that the attainment year emissions level will

be below 2007 levels. X

4. The State's demonstration that t he national ambient air quality standards, prevention of significant deterioration increments, reasonable further progress demonstration, and visibility, as applicable, are protected if the plan is approved and implemented. 4. PADEP submitted a demonstra tion that shows that

emissions of PM 2.5 and its precursors will not exceed the level of the attainment inventory during the period of the Maintenance Plan. Projected interim year 2017 and end year 2025 emissions inventories, based on permanent and

enforce able measures, are below the 2007 inve ntory, which assures the NAAQS is maintained. X5. Modeling information required to support the proposed

revision, including input data, output data, models used, ambient monitoring data used, meteorological data used, justification for use of offsite data (where used), modes of models used, assumptions, and other information relevant to the determination of adequacy of the modeling analysis. 5. Not applicable.

6. Evidence, where necessary, that emission l imitations are based on continuous emission reduction technology. 6. Not applicable.

7. Evidence that the plan contains emission limitations, work practice standards and recordkeeping/reporting requirements, where necessary, to ensure emission levels

. 7. Based on permanent and enforceable measures, Pennsylvania projects emissions inventories for int erim year

2017 and end year 202 5 t hat do not exceed the 2007 attainment year inventory, which demonstrate attainment throughout the

entire maintenance per iod. X

8. Compliance/enforcement strategies, including how compliance will be determined in practice. 8

. The Maintenance Plan i dentifie s when and what

c ontingency measures may be implemented if the Area violates

or exceeds the 1997 annual and 200 6 24

- hour PM 2.5 NAAQS after redesignation of the Area

. These measures are intended to expeditiously bring the A rea back in to attainment of the NAAQS

. X

9. Special economic and technological justifications required by any applicable EPA policies. (If a policy is not appropriate, explain why.) 9. Not applicable.

10. A Section 107 request must be accompanied by a maintenance plan demonstrating maintenance to the relevant NAAQS for at least 10 years after redesignation. 10. The redesignation req uest was accompanied by a

Maintenance Plan that w as received from PADEP on

December 23 , 2014 , which shows maintenance of the 1997

annual and the 2006 24

- hour PM 2.5 NAAQS for 10 years after redesignation (through 2025). X
