RE: Infrastructure SIPs for the 2008 Ozone Standard and the 2011 N02 Standard 

Dear Mr. Daly: 

DAQP-047-12 

The attached documents summarize Utah's existing infrastructure State Implementation Plan (i-SIP), and 

demonstrate that all required elements are in place for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard (NAAQS) and the 2011 nitrogen dioxide (N02) NAAQS as required by section 110(a) of the 

Clean Air Act. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not yet developed guidance (either draft 

or final) to delineate what is required in the i-SIPs for ozone and N02 despite the fact that the ozone i-SIP 

was due in March 2011, and the N02 i-SIP is due in January 2013. 

The Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) waited as long as possible before developing this summary of 

existing requirements because EPA had indicated that guidance was under development. On October l2, 

2012, the United States District Court, Northern District of California ordered EPA to issue a finding of 

failure to submit i-SIPs for the 2008 Ozone Standard by January 4, 2013. On a recent national phone call, 

EPA notified the states of this court-ordered deadline, which has forced UDAQ to accelerate review of 

Utah's existing i-SIP. The attached reviews are based on EPA's most recent guidance that was developed 

for the lead NAAQS. 

All of the identified elements in Utah's i-SIP have gone through rulemaking, including an opportunity for 

public comment and public hearings, at both the State and Federal level. This rigorous process meets the 

requirement in section 11 O(a)(l) of the Clean Air Act that "each State shall, after reasonable notice and 

public hearings, adopt and submit to the Administrator, within 3 years (or such shorter period as the 

Administrator may prescribe) after the promulgation of a 

National Primary Ambient Air Quality Standard (or any revision thereof) under section 109 for any air 

pollutant, a plan which provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of such primary 

standard in each air quality control region (or portion thereof) within such State." A further public

comment period is not required by the Clean Air Act for a letter summarizing what is already in place. 

Nevertheless, the Utah Division of Air Quality (UDAQ) will provide public notice that these summaries of 

existing requirements are available for review from December 18, 2012, to January 18, 2013. 

This letter summarizing the existing i-SIP provisions already approved by EPA satisfies Utah's obligation 

under section llO(a) of the NAAQS for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Therefore, EPA should remove Utah 

from the list of states that will receive a finding of failure to submit an i-SIP for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at (801) 536-4064 or Colleen Delaney at 

(801) 536-4248.

Clean Air Act and applies to all air pollutants regulated under the CAA. SIP Section VIII was 

codified at R307-110-9 and R307-405, and EPA approved it most recently on July 15,2011 at 76 

FR 41712. On April14, 2011 Utah submitted revisions to R307-405 to incorporate the federal 

Tailoring Rule provisions that were promulgated on June 3, 2010. EPA has not yet acted upon 

this submittal. 

Utah's permitting rules require sources to install best available control technology (BACT) for all 

pollutants, including ozone precursors. 

Section 11 O(a)(2)(D)(i): Interstate Transport Provisions 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall ... contain adequate provisions: prohibiting, consistent with the provisions 

of this subchapter, any source or other type of emissions activity within the state from emitting 

any air pollutant in amounts which will contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere 

with maintenance by, any other state with respect to any such national primary or secondary 

ambient air quality standard, or interfere with measures required to be included in the 

applicable implementation plan for any other state under part C of this subchapter to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality to protect visibility. " 

Utah's Infrastructure 

SIP Section VIII (PSD) and Utah Air Quality Rule R307-405 hold new major sources and major 

source modifications subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program outlined at 

40 CFR 51.166. SIP Section VIII was codified at R307 -110-9, and EPA approved it and the rule 

most recently on July 15, 2011 at 76 FR 41712. On April14, 2011, Utah submitted revisions to 

R307-405 to incorporate the federal Tailoring Rule provisions that were promulgated on June 3, 

2010. EPA has not yet acted upon this submittal. 

On November 19,2012, EPA Assistant Administrator Gina McCarthy issued a memorandum 

titled Next Steps for Pending Redesignation Requests and State Implementation Plan Actions 

Affected by the Recent Court Decision Vacating the 2011 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. This 

memorandum outlined EPA's intention to abide by the Court decision that a SIP cannot be 

deemed deficient for failing to meet the good neighbor obligation in Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of 

the CAA before the EPA quantifies that obligation. EPA has not yet quantified Utah's good 

neighbor obligation under the 2008 ozone standard; and therefore, Utah's infrastructure SIP is 

adequate.

Section 11 O(a)(2)(D)(ii): Interstate and International Transport Provisions 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall . .. contain adequate provisions insuring compliance with the applicable 

requirements of sections 115 or 126 (b) that involve ozone emissions (relating to interstate and 

international pollution abatement)." 

Utah's Infrastructure 

EPA has not identified any sources of ozone precursors in Utah that endanger public health or 

the welfare of a foreign country. Therefore, Utah is not subject to Section 115 ofthe Clean Air 

Act. 

SIP Section VIII (Prevention of Significant Deterioration) was established as required by the 

Clean Air Act and applies to all air pollutants regulated under the CAA. In accordance with 40 

CFR 51.166( q)(2)(iv), SIP Section VIII requires the Director to notify neighboring states of 

potential impacts from new major sources or major modifications of ozone precursors. SIP 

Section VIII was codified at R307-110-9 and R307-405, and EPA approved it most recently on 

July 15,2011 at 76 FR 41712. On April14, 2011 Utah submitted revisions to R307-405 to 

incorporate the federal Tailoring Rule provisions that were promulgated on June 3, 2010. EPA 

has not yet acted upon these revisions. The PSD SIP and R307-405 contain adequate provisions 

to be in compliance with Section 126 of the Clean Air Act. 

SIP Section XX (Regional Haze) determined that sources in Utah do not interfere with visibility 

plans developed by other states. Utah consulted with other states in the Western Regional Air 

Partnership and reductions in emissions from Utah were included in the regional visibility 

modeling. Authority for this section is located in Section 19-2-104, UCA. SIP Section XX was 

codified at R307-110-28. EPA signed a notice to approve the majority ofUtah's Regional Haze 

plan in December 2012, but has not yet published this final action in the FR. In the same action, 

EPA disapproved the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) determinations for NOx and 

PM for fo.ur subject to BART Electric Generating Units (EGUs). UDAQ is currently preparing a 

new 5-Factor BART analysis for these four EGUs to address the deficiencies identified in EPA 

disapproval.
