EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

SIP SUBMITTAL NUMBER 2009-02 

SECTION 110(a)(l) OZONE MAINTENANCE PLAN 

2004-2014 

(Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Duval Counties) 

Introduction 

Background 

SIP Development 

Noninterference Demonstration 

Response to Public and EPA Comments 

Introduction 

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is proposing to revise Florida's "State 

Implementation Plan (SIP)" under the federal Clean Air Act to incorporate a Section 1 1 O(a)(l) 

ozone maintenance plan for the six counties once designated as nonattainment areas for the 

former 1-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. The plan 

demonstrates that these counties will continue to comply with the 1997 8-hour ozone standard 

for the ten-year period 2004-2014. 

Background 

The Jacksonville area (Duval County) was redesignated fiom nonattainment to attainment for the 

former 1-hour ozone standard by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), effective 

March 6, 1995. Likewise, the Southeast Florida area (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach 

counties) and the Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough and Pinellas counties) were redesignated to 

attainment by EPA, effective April 25, 1995, and February 5, 1996, respectively. Upon 

redesignation, all three areas became subject to EPA-approved air quality maintenance plans for 

the 1-hour standard under section 175A of the Clean Air Act. On April 30,2004, promulgated 

its "Phase I Ozone Implementation Rule" to implement the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This 

rule requires states to develop 8-hour ozone maintenance plans under section 1 1 O(a)(l) of the 

Act for all former 1-hour nonattainment areas that are complying with the 1997 8-hour standard 

(40 CFR 5 1.905(a)(4)(ii)). These plans must demonstrate continued attainment of the 8-hour 

standard for the ten year period 2004-2014. 

SIP Development 

On May 23,2007, the department gave notice of a public hearing pursuant to 40 CFR 5 1.102 to 

consider three proposed revisions to Florida's SIP, one of which was the 8-hour ozone 

maintenance plan under section 1 1 O(a)(l) of the Clean Air Act, as required pursuant to EPA's 

April 30,2004, Phase I Ozone Implementation Rule. The public notice was published in 
Executive Summary - SIP a ubmittal2009-02 

Section 1 1 O(a)(l) Ozone Maintenance Plan - 2004-20 14 

Page 2 

newspapers in each of Florida's six air quality control regions and sent to the states of Georgia, 

Alabama, and Mississippi. A pre-hearing submittal was transmitted to EPA Region 4 at least 30 

day prior to the hearing. (See "Public Hearing" section of this submittal.) 

The hearing was held June 22,2007, and the public was given the opportunity to comment on 

each of the proposed revisions. The record of the hearing was held open until the end of the day 

for receipt of written comments. The department chose not to submit the maintenance plan to 

EPA immediately following the hearing because of uncertainty surrounding the legal status of 

the Phase 1 Ozone Implementation rule at that time. 

Noninterference Demonstration 

Section 1 lO(1) of the Clean Air Act prohibits EPA from approving any proposed SIP revision 

that would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable 

further progress, or any other applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act. This proposed SIP 

revision responds directly to this provision of the Act by demonstrating that projected emissions 

of ozone precursor pollutants in the three former nonattainment areas will decline through the 

2004-20 14 maintenance period and, therefore, not interfere with any Clean Air Act requirement. 

Response to Public and EPA Comments 

No comments on the proposed SIP revision were received from the public. Written comments 

were received from EPA Region 4. They are repeated below, along with the department's 

response. 

EPA Comments 

1. The VISTAS Emissions Inventory is missing from the submittal. 

2. Attainment Inventory - July 18,2002, emissions are used as representative of a typical 

summer day, and extracted from the VISTAS dataset as such. Any use of the VISTAS 

dataset should be supported with appropriate documentation and the basis for all 

assumptions derived from such dataset should also contain supporting documentation 

DEP Response 

Enclosed with this submittal is a compact disk containing complete documentation of the 

VISTAS dataset and a series of spreadsheets showing the data extracted from the VISTAS 

dataset for use in this maintenance analysis.

methodology ratified in s. 373.42 1 1, shall be a part of this water body. Any areas within the line 

described in paragraph (a) which are neither a wetland nor surface water, as determined by the 

delineation methodology ratified in s. 373.42 1 1, shall be excluded therefrom. If the Florida 
Environmental Regulation Commission designates the waters within the boundaries an 

Outstanding Florida Water, waters outside the boundaries shall not be included as part of such 

designation unless a hearing is held pursuant to notice in each appropriate county and the 

boundaries of such lands are specifically considered and described for such designation. 

(14) "State water resource implementation rule" means the rule authorized by s. 373.036, which 

sets forth goals, objectives, and guidance for the development and review of programs, rules, and 

plans relating to water resources, based on statutory policies and directives. The waters of the 

state are among its most basic resources. Such waters should be managed to conserve and protect 

water resources and to realize the full beneficial use of these resources. 

(15) "Stormwater management program" means the institutional strategy for stormwater 

management, including urban, agricultural, and other stormwater. 

(16) "Stormwater management system" means a system which is designed and constructed or 

implemented to control discharges which are necessitated by rainfall events, incorporating 

methods to collect, convey, store, absorb, inhibit, treat, use, or reuse water to prevent or reduce 

flooding, overdrainage, environmental degradation and water pollution or otherwise affect the 

quantity and quality of discharges from the system. 

(1 7) "Stormwater utility" means the funding of a stormwater management program by assessing 

the cost of the program to the beneficiaries based on their relative contribution to its need. It is 

operated as a typical utility which bills services regularly, similar to water and wastewater 

services. 

(1 8) "Watershed" means the land area which contributes to the flow of water into a receiving 

body of water. 

(19) "Regulated air pollutant" means any pollutant regulated under the federal Clean Air Act. 

(20) "Electrical power plant" means, for purposes of this part of this chapter, any electrical 

generating facility that uses any process or fuel and that is owned or operated by an electric 

utility, as defined in s. 403.503(14), and includes any associated facility that directly supports the 

operation of the electrical power plant. 

(2 1) "Total maximum daily load" is defined as the sum of the individual wasteload allocations 

for point sources and the load allocations for nonpoint sources and natural background. Prior to 

determining individual wasteload allocations and load allocations, the maximum amount of a 

pollutant that a water body or water segment can assimilate from all sources without exceeding 

water quality standards must first be calculated.

403.061 Department; powers and duties.--The department shall have the power and the duty to 

control and prohibit pollution of air and water in accordance with the law and rules adopted and 

promulgated by it and, for this purpose, to: 

(1) Approve and promulgate current and long-range plans developed to provide for air and water 

quality control and pollution abatement. 
(2) Hire only such employees as may be necessary to effectuate the responsibilities of the 

department. 

(3) Utilize the facilities and personnel of other state agencies, including the Department of 

Health, and delegate to any such agency any duties and functions as the department may deem 

necessary to carry out the purposes of this act. 

(4) Secure necessary scientific, technical, research, administrative, and operational services by 

interagency agreement, by contract, or otherwise. All state agencies, upon direction of the 

department, shall make these services and facilities available. 

(5) Accept state appropriations and loans and grants from the Federal Government and from 

other sources, public or private, which loans and grants shall not be expended for other than the 

purposes of this act. 

(6) Exercise general supervision of the administration and enforcement of the laws, rules, and 

regulations pertaining to air and water pollution. 

(7) Adopt rules pursuant to ss. 120.536(1) and 120.54 to implement the provisions of this act. 

Any rule adopted pursuant to this act shall be consistent with the provisions of federal law, if 

any, relating to control of emissions from motor vehicles, effluent limitations, pretreatment 

requirements, or standards of performance. No county, municipality, or political subdivision 

shall adopt or enforce any local ordinance, special law, or local regulation requiring the 

installation of Stage 11 vapor recovery systems, as currently defined by department rule, unless 

such county, municipality, or political subdivision is or has been in the past designated by federal 

regulation as a moderate, serious, or severe ozone nonattainment area. Rules adopted pursuant to 

this act shall not require dischargers of waste into waters of the state to improve natural 

background conditions. Discharges from steam electric generating plants existing or licensed 

under this chapter on July 1, 1984, shall not be required to be treated to a greater extent than may 

be necessary to assure that the quality of nonthermal components of discharges from 

nonrecirculated cooling water systems is as high as the quality of the makeup waters; that the 

quality of nonthermal components of discharges from recirculated cooling water systems is no 

lower than is allowed for blowdown from such systems; or that the quality of noncooling system 

discharges which receive makeup water from a receiving body of water which does not meet 

applicable department water quality standards is as high as the quality of the receiving body of 

water. The department may not adopt standards more stringent than federal regulations, except as 

provided in s. 403.804. 

(8) Issue such orders as are necessary to effectuate the control of air and water pollution and 

enforce the same by all appropriate administrative and judicial proceedings. 

(9) Adopt a comprehensive program for the prevention, control, and abatement of pollution of 

the air and waters of the state, and from time to time review and modify such program as 

necessary. 

(1 0) Develop a comprehensive program for the prevention, abatement, and control of the 

pollution of the waters of the state. In order to effect this purpose, a grouping of the waters into 

classes may be made in accordance with the present and future most beneficial uses. Such 

classifications may from time to time be altered or modified. However, before any such 

classification is made, or any modification made thereto, public hearings shall be held by the 

department. 

(1 1) Establish ambient air quality and water quality standards for the state as a whole or for any 

part thereof, and also standards for the abatement of excessive and unnecessary noise. The 

department is authorized to establish reasonable zones of mixing for discharges into waters. 
(a) When a receiving body of water fails to meet a water quality standard for pollutants set forth 

in department rules, a steam electric generating plant discharge of pollutants that is existing or 

licensed under this chapter on July 1, 1984, may nevertheless be granted a mixing zone, provided 

that: 

1. The standard would not be met in the water body in the absence of the discharge; 

2. The discharge is in compliance with all applicable technology-based effluent limitations; 

3. The discharge does not cause a measurable increase in the degree of noncompliance with the 

standard at the boundary of the mixing zone; and 

4. The discharge otherwise complies with the mixing zone provisions specified in department 

rules. 

(b) No mixing zone for point source discharges shall be permitted in Outstanding Florida Waters 

except for: 

1. Sources that have received permits from the department prior to April 1, 1982, or the date of 

designation, whichever is later; 

2. Blowdown from new power plants certified pursuant to the Florida Electrical Power Plant 

Siting Act; 

3. Discharges of water necessary for water management purposes which have been approved by 

the governing board of a water management district and, if required by law, by the secretary; and 

4. The discharge of demineralization concentrate which has been determined permittable under 

s. 403.0882 and which meets the specific provisions of s. 403.0882(4)(a) and (b), if the proposed 

discharge is clearly in the public interest. 

(c) The department, by rule, shall establish water quality criteria for wetlands which criteria give 

appropriate recognition to the water quality of such wetlands in their natural state. 

Nothing in this act shall be construed to invalidate any existing department rule relating to 

mixing zones. The department shall cooperate with the Department of Highway Safety and 

Motor Vehicles in the development of regulations required by s. 3 16.272(1). 

(12)(a) Cause field studies to be made and samples to be taken out of the air and from the waters 

of the state periodically and in a logical geographic manner so as to determine the levels of air 

quality of the air and water quality of the waters of the state. 

(b) Determine the source of the pollution whenever a study is made or a sample collected which 

proves to be below the air or water quality standard set for air or water. 

(1 3) Require persons engaged in operations which may result in pollution to file reports which 

may contain information relating to locations, size of outlet, height of outlet, rate and period of 

emission, and composition and concentration of effluent and such other information as the 

department shall prescribe to be filed relative to pollution. 

(14) Establish a permit system whereby a permit may be required for the operation, 

construction, or expansion of any installation that may be a source of air or water pollution and 

provide for the issuance and revocation of such permits and for the posting of an appropriate 

bond to operate. , (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the department may authorize, by rule, 

the Department of Transportation to perform any activity requiring a permit from the department 

covered by this chapter, upon certification by the Department of Transportation that it will meet . all requirements imposed by statute, rule, or standard for environmental control and protection as 

such statute, rule, or standard applies to a governmental program. To this end, the department 

may accept such certification of compliance for programs of the Department of Transportation, 
may conduct investigations for compliance, and, if a violation is found to exist, may take all 

necessary enforcement action pertaining thereto, including, but not limited to, the revocation of 

certification. The authorization shall be by rule of the department, shall be limited to the 

maintenance, repair, or replacement of existing structures, and shall be conditioned upon 

compliance by the Department of Transportation with specific guidelines or requirements which 

are set forth in the formal acceptance and deemed necessary by the department to assure future 

compliance with this chapter and applicable department rules. The failure of the Department of 

Transportation to comply with any provision of the written acceptance shall constitute grounds 

for its revocation by the department. 

(b) The provisions of chapter 120 shall be accorded any person when substantial interests will be 

affected by an activity proposed to be conducted by the Department of Transportation pursuant 

to its certification and the acceptance of the department. If a proceeding is conducted pursuant to 

ss. 120.569 and 120.57, the department may intervene as a party. Should an administrative law 

judge of the Division of Administrative Hearings of the Department of Management Services 

submit a recommended order pursuant to ss. 120.569 and 120.57, the department shall issue a 

final department order adopting, rejecting, or modifying the recommended order pursuant to such 

action. 

(1 5) Consult with any person proposing to construct, install, or otherwise acquire a pollution 

control device or system concerning the efficacy of such device or system, or the pollution 

problem which may be related to the source, device, or system. Nothing in any such consultation 

shall be construed to relieve any person from compliance with this act, rules and regulations of 

the department, or any other provision of law. 

(1 6) Encourage voluntary cooperation by persons and affected groups to achieve the purposes of 

this act. 

(1 7) Encourage local units of government to handle pollution problems within their respective 

jurisdictions on a cooperative basis and provide technical and consultative assistance therefor. 

(18) Encourage and conduct studies, investigations, and research relating to pollution and its 

causes, effects, prevention, abatement, and control. 

(19) Make a continuing study of the effects of the emission of air contaminants from motor 

vehicles on the quality of the outdoor atmosphere of this state and the several parts thereof and 

make recommendations to appropriate public and private bodies with respect thereto. 

(20) Collect and disseminate information and conduct educational and training programs 

relating to pollution. 

(21) Advise, consult, cooperate, and enter into agreements with other agencies of the state, the 

Federal Government, other states, interstate agencies, groups, political subdivisions, and 

industries affected by the provisions of this act, rules, or policies of the department. However, 

the secretary of the department shall not enter into any interstate agreement relating to the 

transport of ozone precursor pollutants, nor modify its rules based upon a recommendation from 

the Ozone Transport Assessment Group or any other such organization that is not an official 

subdivision of the United States Environmental Protection Agency but which studies issues 

related to the transport of ozone precursor pollutants, without prior review and specific 

legislative approval. 

(22) Adopt, modify, and repeal rules governing the specifications, construction, and 

maintenance of industrial reservoirs, dams, and containers which store or retain industrial wastes 

of a deleterious nature. 
(23) Adopt rules and regulations to ensure that no detergents are sold in Florida after December 

3 1, 1972, which are reasonably found to have a harmful or deleterious effect on human health or 

on the environment. Any regulations adopted pursuant to this subsection shall apply statewide. 

Subsequent to the promulgation of such rules and regulations, no county, municipality, or other 

local political subdivision shall adopt or enforce any local ordinance, special law, or local 

regulation governing detergents which is less stringent than state law or regulation. Regulations, 

ordinances, or special acts adopted by a county or municipality governing detergents shall be 

subject to approval by the department, except that regulations, ordinances, or special acts 

adopted by any county or municipality with a local pollution control program approved pursuant 

to s. 403.182 shall be approved as an element of the local pollution control program. 

(24)(a) Establish a permit system to provide for spoil site approval, as may be requested and 

required by local governmental agencies as defined in 1s. 403.1822(3), or mosquito control 

districts as defined in s. 388.01 1(5), to facilitate these agencies in providing spoil sites for the 

deposit of spoil from maintenance dredging of navigation channels, port harbors, turning basins, 

and harbor berths, as part of a federal project, when the agency is acting as sponsor of a 

contemplated dredge and fill operation involving an established navigation channel, harbor, 

turning basin, or harbor berth. A spoil site approval granted to the agency shall be granted for a 

period of 10 to 25 years when such site is not inconsistent with an adopted local governmental 

comprehensive plan and the requirements of this chapter. The department shall periodically 

review each permit to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit. Such 

review shall be conducted at least once every 10 years. 

(b) This subsection applies only to those maintenance dredging operations permitted after July 

1, 1980, where the United States Amy Corps of Engineers is the prime dredge and fill agent and 

the local governmental agency is acting as sponsor for the operation, and does not require the 

redesignation of currently approved spoil sites under such previous operations. 

(25) Establish and administer a program for the restoration and preservation of bodies of water 

within the state. The department shall have the power to acquire lands, to cooperate with other 

applicable state or local agencies to enhance existing public access to such bodies of water, and 

to adopt all rules necessary to accomplish this purpose. 

(26)(a) Develop standards and criteria for waters used for deepwater shipping which standards 

and criteria consider existing water quality; appropriate mixing zones and other requirements for 

maintenance dredging in previously constructed deepwater navigation channels, port harbors, 

turning basins, or harbor berths; and appropriate mixing zones for disposal of spoil material from 

dredging and, where necessary, develop a separate classification for such waters. Such 

classification, standards, and criteria shall recognize that the present dedicated use of these 

waters is for deepwater commercial navigation. 

(b) The provisions of paragraph (a) apply only to the port waters, spoil disposal sites, port 

harbors, navigation channels, turning basins, and harbor berths used for deepwater commercial 

navigation in the ports of Jacksonville, Tampa, Port Everglades, Miami, Port Canaveral, Ft. 

Pierce, Palm Beach, Port Manatee, Port St. Joe, Panama City, St. Petersburg, Port Bartow, 

Florida Power Corporation's Crystal River Canal, Boca Grande, Green Cove Springs, and 

Pensacola. 

(27) Establish rules which provide for a special category of water bodies within the state, to be 

referred to as "Outstanding Florida Waters," which water bodies shall be worthy of special 

protection because of their natural attributes. Nothing in this subsection shall affect any existing 

rule of the department. 
(28) Perform any other act necessary to control and prohibit air and water pollution, and to 

delegate any of its responsibilities, authority, and powers, other than rulemaking powers, to any 

state agency now or hereinafter established. 

(29) Adopt by rule special criteria to protect Class I1 shellfish harvesting waters. Rules 

previously adopted by the department in 2rule 17-4.28(8)(a), Florida Administrative Code, are 

hereby ratified and determined to be a valid exercise of delegated legislative authority and shall 

remain in effect unless amended by the Environmental Regulation Commission. 

(30) Establish requirements by rule that reasonably protect the public health and welfare from 

electric and magnetic fields associated with existing 230 kV or greater electrical transmission 

lines, new 230 kV and greater electrical transmission lines for which an application for 

certification under the Florida Electric Transmission Line Siting Act, ss. 403.52-403.5365, is not 

filed, new or existing electrical transmission or distribution lines with voltage less than 230 kV, 

and substation facilities. Notwithstanding any other provision in this chapter or any other law of 

this state or political subdivision thereof, the department shall have exclusive jurisdiction in the 

regulation of electric and magnetic fields associated with all electrical transmission and 

distribution lines and substation facilities. However, nothing herein shall be construed as 

superseding or repealing the provisions of s. 403.523(1) and (10). 

(3 1) Adopt rules necessary to obtain approval from the United States Environmental Protection 

Agency to administer the Federal National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

permitting program in Florida under ss. 3 18,402, and 405 of the Federal Clean Water Act, Pub. 

L. No. 92-500, as amended. This authority shall be implemented consistent with the provisions 

of part 11, which shall be applicable to facilities certified thereunder. The department shall 

establish all rules, standards, and requirements that regulate the discharge of pollutants into 

waters of the United States as defined by and in a manner consistent with federal regulations; 

provided, however, that the department may adopt a standard that is stricter or more stringent 

than one set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency if approved by the Governor 

and Cabinet in accordance with the procedures of s. 403.804(2). 

(32) Coordinate the state's stormwater program.

Executive Summary 

This plan is developed in response to section 110(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act and U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations at 40 CFR 5 1.905(a)(4)(ii). These 

regulations require that a 10-year air quality maintenance plan be developed in support of 

the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) promulgated by EPA 

in 1997. This requirement applies to areas that have a section 175A maintenance plan 

under the former 1-hour ozone air quality standard and are currently in attainment with 

the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. In Florida, the Southeast Florida area comprising 

Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, the Tampa Bay area comprising 

Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, and the Northeast Florida area comprising Duval 

County are all subject to the new section 110(a)(l) maintenance plan requirement. 

As stated, each of these areas currently has an EPA-approved section 175A ozone air 

quality maintenance plan incorporated into the Florida State Implementation Plan (SIP). 

These plans support the now revoked 1-hour ozone NAAQS. This plan, which covers all 

three areas, is intended to satisfy the section I 10(a)(l) maintenance plan requirement for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. Elements of the section 175A maintenance plans that 

are required to be continued to fulfill the no-backsliding provisions have been 

incorporated into this section I lO(aX1) ozone maintenance plan. 

The 8-hour ozone 1 lO(a)( 1) maintenance plan constitutes a SIP revision and must provide 

for continued maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the area for 10 years 

from the effective date of the area's designation as attainment for this standard. The plan 

must include the five following components, as described in EPA guidance': 

An attainment inventory

Continued ambient air quality monitoring 

A contingency plan 

Verification of continued attainment 

The core of this 8-hour ozone 110(a)(l) maintenance plan is a statement of commitments 

by the department. In accordance with these commitments, the department will track 

compliance with the standard and expeditiously respond to any potential future violations 

of fhe standard. Further, the department will retain certain rules in effect to reduce ozone 

precursor emissions. The statement of commitments also provides the triggers for 

department action to respond in a timely manner to any potential future air quality 

degradation.

Department of Environmental Protection 3 Division of Air Resource Management 
The rest of the maintenance plan provides the current status of ozone air quality in each 

of the three maintenance areas in Florida, an attainment-year (2002) emission inventory, 

projections of emissions, and a demonstration that, given these projections, each of the 

three areas are expected to remain in compliance with the 1997 8-hour ozone air quality 

standard through at least 2014. 

Department of Environmental Protection 4 Division of Air Resource Management 
I. Statement of Commitments 

1. Throughout the period of this maintenance plan, the Department of Environmental 

Protection will retain and enforce the following rules, originally developed to support 

the previous nonattainment status of these areas for the 1 -hour ozone standard; 

provided, however, that the department may revise its rules in accordance with the 

noninterference provisions of section 110(1) of the Clean Air Act and the provisions 

of 40 CFR 51.905(a)(4)(i). These rules include the stationary source "'reasonably 

available control technology (RACT)" emission standards contained in Chapter 62- 

296, F.A.C., and the gasoline vapor control regulations contained in Chapter 62-252, 

F.A.C., with the exceptionof Rule 62-252.400, F.A.C. (stage 2 vapor recovery). To 

the extent that the department has relied on the local air pollution control agencies in 

Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Duval counties to 

enforce such rules in the past. the department will continue to do so. 

2. The department will continue to rely on the local air pollution control agencies in 

Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Duval counties to 

conduct ambient air quality monitoring programs for ozone in their respective 

counties in accordance with all applicable EPA monitoring requirements contained in 

40 CFR Part 58. 

3. The department, with the assistance, as necessary, of the local air pollution control 

agencies, the local Metropolitan Planning Organizations and the Florida Department 

of Transportation, will develop periodic ozone precursor emission inventory updates 

for the Florida maintenance areas. Emissions inventory updates for 2008,20 11, and 

2014 will be completed by 18 months followingthe end of the inventory year. The 

department will follow EPA procedures and guidelines in completing the emissions 

inventory updates. 

4. The department commits to propose adoption of appropriate control strategies in the 

event that ambient monitors in the area show a violation of the 1997 8-hour NAAQS 

for ozone, or if emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) or total oxides of 

nitrogen (NOx) increase to levels above those estimated in the attainment year (2002) 

in conjunction with ambient levels above a specified ozone design value. In the event 

that one of these transgressions occurs, the department will take action in accordance 

with the following schedule. 

Trigger 1: A violation of the 1997 8-hour ozone ambient air quality standard at any 

monitor 

Action Schedule: 

(1) The department, with the assistance of the local air pollution control agencies in the 

violating tnonitor's jurisdiction, will accelerate, to the greatest extent possible, the 

verification process of the data and the determination that the violation is not the 

result of a natural event or a curable violation of an existing SIP control measure. 

Department of Environmental Protection 5 Division of Air Resource Management 
(2) Upon verification of the violation and determination that the violation calls for new 

or revised control measures, the department will begin the state rulemaking 

process, proceeding according to the following schedule: 

a. Initiate rulemaking and hold a workshop within six (6) months proposing a 

new or revised control strategy for reducing emissions of VOC or NOx. 

b. Publish a notice of proposed rulemaking within twelve (12) months. 

c. Assuming approval by the department Secretary or Environmental 

Regulation Commission and no administrative rule challenge, file rule with 

the Florida Secretary of State for adoption no later than 90 days after the date 

of proposal. 

d. Within 60 days of adoption, submit the rule to the EPA as a proposed SIP 

revision in accordance with CFR 51.104. 

Trigger 2: The ozone precursor emissions inventory update of 2008,201 1, or 2014 

shows emissions of VOC or NOx have increased by five percent (5%) or more above ihe 

2002 level, and the ozone design value for that update year is greater than or equal to 

0.081 ppm. but no violation of the 1997 NAAQS for ozone has occurred,. 

Action schedule: 

(1) The department will complete an evaluation of ozone concentrations at all 

monitors in the maintenance area having the increased emissions to determine if 

an upward trend in ambient ozone concentrations is occurring. The trend will be 

determined for the most recent five-year period using an appropriate statistical 

technique. Hypothesis testing will be used to identify which monitors exhibit a 

trend for the annual fourth highest &hour ozone concentration at a significance 

level of alpha equals 0.05. Any monitor having a significant upward trend in the 

maintenance area is deemed to trigger action schedule item (2). If there is no 

trend or a downward trend, then no immediate action is necessary. Annual 

evaluation of the ozone concentration trend will continue. 

(2) Ifan upward trend is determined, the department will complete an evaluation 

within six (6) months to determine the most cost-effective means for lowering 

VOC or NOx emissions to the 2002 level, or lower. 

(3) Upon completion of the evaluation, the department, as appropriate, will begin the 

state rulemaking process, proceeding according to the Trigger 1 schedule. 

Department of Environmental Protection 6 Division of Air Resource Management 
/I. Attainment lnventory 

In accordance with EPA's Maintenance Plan Guidance Document, the state may use as 

its attainment year one of any of the three years on which the 19W 8-hour attainment 

designation was based fi.e., 2001, 2002, or 2003). Because areas are already required to 

develop an inventory for 2002 under EPA's Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule 

(CERR), EPA recommends the use of that year as the attainment emission inventory base 

year for the section 110(a)(l) maintenance plan. For all three maintenance areas in 

Florida, the year 2002 will be used. While the year 2002 is being used to establish the 

base year, it should be noted that the actual year in which each of these areas attainedthe 

8-hour NAAQS occurred prior to 2002 and is different for each area. For the Southeast 

Florida area, no monitor has ever had a design value exceeding the 1997 8-hour NAAQS, 

with monitoring going back to the late 1970's. The closest any monitor came was a 

design value of 0.084 ppm in 1986. For the Tampa Bay area, the most recent year in 

which a monitored 8-how design value exceeded the 1997 NAAQS was year 2000. For 

the Northeast Florida area, the most recent year was 1989. (See Section 111, Maintenance 

Demonstration.) 

The 2002 emissions inventory used for this SIP revision was compiled by contractors for 

the Southeast consortium of states developing the regional haze SIP (VISTAS - Visibility 

Improvement State and Tribal Association of the Southeast). This inventory has been 

reviewed by the state, and the detailed description of methodologies and procedures are 

provided in the VISTAS emissions inventory documentation. EPA guidance generally 

requires that the typical summer day data be used for ozone planning purposes. For this 

purpose, the July 18,2002, daily emissions were extracted as representative of a typical 

summer day2. As shown in Table 1, emissions are classified in the traditional categories 

used for summarizing these data: point sources, area sources, on-road motor vehicles, and 

non-road mobile sowces. More detailed breakdowns of these categories can be obtained 

fiom the VISTAS documentation. 

The VISTAS inventory was developed for an air quality modelmg apphcabon using the SMOKE 

emlsslons modelm tool. Thls modelmg Inventory included the dally and seasonal emlsslons that vary wth 

meteorological or iperahonal conditions. The sp;cdc date, July 18,2002, was selected simply because it 

was available from the VISTAS dataset. \TSTAS hnd randomly selected and extracted the data for hs day 

to perform qualrty assurance checks

111. Maintenance Demonstration 

The maintem~ce plan must show continued compliance for at least a ten-year period (i.e., 

2004 through 2014). A demonstration of compliance can be assumed if emissions of the 

precursors to ozone formation, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides 

(NOx), are shown to remain at or below the emissions occurring in the attainment year. 

The attainment year is the year in which the area came into compliance with the standard 

and has remained in attainment since that time. For purposes of this plan, the year 2002 

is being used as the attainment year. This is a conservative assumption since, as stated 

previously, all of the Florida areas had ambient ozone measurements that would have 

been in compliance prior to 2002, and emissions of both ozone precursors have been 

decreasing during that time. Appendix A contains detailed historic &hour ozone levels 

(design values) for each of the areas. Table 2, below, provides a summary of the 

maximum 8-hour ozone design values determined for each area All three areas have 

been in compliance with the 8-hour ozone ambient standard since (and including) 2002.

Department of Environmental Protection 9 Division of Air Resource Management 
Projections ofthe ozone precursor emissions VOC and NOx were developed by VISTAS 

for the years 2009 and 2018. These projections, along with the actual 2002 inventory. 

also developed by VISTAS, are used to demonstrate expected ten-year compliance with 

the 1997 &hour ambient air quality ozone standard. As developed for the actual 2002 

emissions inventory, the projections are determined for a typical summer day based on 

the data extracted for July 18,2002. Projected emissions from electric generating units 

and fires are reflective of typical conditions since year-to-year variability cannot be 

accurately forecast for these sources. Intermediate years are determined by linear 

interpolation. This is an appropriate assumption, given thz generally smoothly varying 

nature of growth (e.g., population, vehicle miles travzlad, state gross product, etc.). Step 

changes can occur, usually associated with new large stationary sources going on-line or 

with large emission reductions at stationary sources due to the addition of emission 

control devices or procedures. However, because large new sources are subject to strict 

control, any emissions increases from these sources that may occur are not likely to be as 

large as the emissions decreases that occur with the shut-down of an older, dirtier plant or 

when a control device is installed on an older plant. Consequently, the net effect is to 

reduce emissions ~n time, and over the relatively large and populated areas covering these 

maintenance areas, considering all the other source categories, not produce signiiicant 

spikes in emissions. 

The projected emissions of VOC and NOx for 2009 and 2018, as derived from VISTAS, 

are provided in the Tables 3 and 4. Emissions are parsed according to stationary point 

sources, stationary area sources, on-road motor vehicles, and non-road mobile sources. 

Table 5 summarizes these dara over each of the three areas for the intermediate years 

appropriate for this maintenance plan. As shown in the table, for each of the three 

maintenance areas, anthropogenic emissions of both VOC and NOx are projected to be 

less 2002 actual emissions throughout the maintenance period. Biogenic emissions are 

not included here, but would be treated as constant and. thus, would not affect the trend.

verify maintenance of the 1997 &hour ozone standard in each respective area. Any 

modifications to these networks will be made in consultation with the EPA regional 

ofice and will be accompanied by appropriate technical and statistical analysis 

supporting the modification.

V. Contingency Plan 

The contingency plan is provided to assure that any violations ofthe 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard in any of the maintenance areas are promptly corrected. The basis of the 

contingency plan is the commitment by the department to respond in a timely manner to 

reduce ozone precursor emissions when the need for action is triggered. Two triggers for 

action are stated in section I of this document (Statement of Commitment No. 4): 1) a 

violation of the 1997 8-hour ozone standard and 2) an increase in ozone precursor 

emissions such that emissions of either VOC or NOx exceed the attainment year 

emissions level. 

A number of control measures could potentially be adopted to further reduce either VOC 

or NOx emissions. Some of these measures are listed below, in no particular order. 

These control strategy options would be considered, as necessary, to either correct for a 

violation or to prevent an imminent violation from occurring. 

a Reinstate nonattainment new source review 

b. Mandate less volatile gasoline 

c. Add or revise VOC or NOx RACT rules 

d. Expand VOC or NOx control strategies to other counties affecting the 

maintenance area 

e. Expand control strategies to new control technique guideline (CTG) categories 

f. Implement mobile source transportation control measures 

The department would expect to propose one or more of the above emission reduction 

strategies, taking into consideration the severity of the violation and the cost effectiveness 

of the various control strategy options. The department reserves the right, however, to 

choose another strategy, which may not be known at this time, but aEords a more 

efflcient and cost-effective emissions reduction. 

V1. Verification of Continued Attainment 

The department will continue to verify the attainment status for each of the maintenance 

areas through its ozone monitoring network (Statement of Commitment No. 2). It will 

also continue to track emissions of ozone precursors by developing periodic emissions 

inventories (Statement of Commitment No. 3).

Executive Summary 

This plan is developed in response to section 1 lO(aX1) of the Clean Air Act and U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations at 40 CFR 51.905. These 

regulations require that an air quality maintenance plan be developed in support of the 8- 

hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) promulgated by EPA in 

1997. This requirement applies to areas that have a section 175A maintenance plan under 

the former 1-hour ozone standard and are currently in attainment with the 8-hour ozone 

standard. In Florida, the Southeast Florida area comprising Miami-Dade, Broward, and 

Palm Eleach counties, the Tampa Bay area comprising Hillsborough and Pinellas 

counties, and the Northeast Florida area comprising Duval county are all subject to the 

new section 1 10(a)(l) maintenance plan requirement. 

As stated, each of these areas currently has an EPA-approved section 175A maintenance 

plan incorporated into the Florida SIP. These plans support the now revoked 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS. This plan, which covers all three areas, is intended to satisfy the section 

110(a)(l) maintenance plan requirement and replace the existing section 175A plans. 

Elements of the section 175A maintenance plans for the 1-hour standard that are required 

to be continued to fulfill the no-backsliding provisions have been incorporated into this 

section 110(a)(l) 8-hour ozone maintenance plan. 

The %hour ozone 1 lO(aX1) maintenance plan constitutes a SIP revision and must provide 

for continued maintenance of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the area for 10 years from the 

effective date of the area's designation as attainment for this standard. The plan must 

include the five following components, as described in EPA guidance1: 

An attainment inventory 

A maintenance demonstration 

Continued ambient air quality monitoring 

A contingency plan 

Verification of continued attainment 

The core of this 8-hour ozone 110(a)(l) maintenance plan is a statement of commitments 

by the department. In accordance with these commitments, the department will track 

compliance with the standard and expeditiously respond to any potential future violations 

of the standard. Further, the department will retain certain rules in effect to reduce ozone 

precursors. The statement of commitments also provides the triggers for department 

action to respond in a timely manner to any potential future air quality degradation. 

The rest of the maintenance plan provides the current status of ozone air quality in each 

of the three maintenance areas in Florida, an attainment year (2002) emission inventory, 

' U S. Env~ronmental Protectm Agency memo "Maintenance Plan Gutdance Document for Certam 8-Hour 

Ozone Areas Under Sectlon 110(a)(l) of Clean Au Act" from Lydm Wegman, May 20,2005 

Department of Environmental Protection 3 Division of Air Resource Management 

I. Statement of Commitments 

1. Throughout the period of this maintenance plan, the Department of Environmental 

Protection will retain and enforce the following rules, originally developed to support the 

previous nonattainment status ofthese areas for the 1-hour ozone standard, provided, 

however, that the department may revise its rules in accordance with the noninterference 

provisions of section 1 lO(1) of the Clean Air Act and the provisions of 40 CFR 

51.905(a)(4Xi). These rules include stationary source emission standards (RACT) 

contained in Chapter 62-296, F.A.C., and gasoline vapor control regulations oontained in 

Chapter 62-252, F.A.C., with the exception of Rule 62-252.400, F.A.C. (stage 2 vapor 

recovery). To the extent that the department has relied on the local air pollution control 

agencies in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Duval 

counties to enforce such rules in the past, the department will continue to do so. 

2. The department will continue to rely on the local air pollution control agencies in 

Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Duval countie~ to 

conduct ambient air quality monitoring programs for ozone in their respective counties in 

accordance with all applicable EPA monitoring requirements contained in 40 CFR Part 

58. 

3. The department, with the assistance, as necessary, of the local air pollution control 

agencies, the local Metropolitan Planning Organizations and the Florida Department of 

Transportation, will develop periodic ozone precursor emission inventory updates for the 

Florida maintenance area. Emissions inventory updates for 2008,201 1, and 2014 will 

be completed by 18 months following the end of the inventory year. The department will 

follow EPA procedures and guidelines in completing the emissions inventory updates. 

4. The department commits to propose adoption of appropriate control strategies in the 

event that ambient monitors in the area show a violation of the 8-hour average NAAQS 

for ozone, or emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) or total oxides of nitrogen 

@Ox) increase to levels above those estimated in the attainment year (2002) in 

conjunction with ambient levels above a specified ozone design value. In the event that 

one of these transgressions occurs, the department will take action in accordance with the 

following schedule. 

Trigger 1 : A violation of the &hour ozone ambient air quality standard at any monitor 

Action Schedule: 

(1) The department, with the assistance of the local air pollution control agencies 

in the violating monitor's jurisdiction, will accelerate, to the greatest extent possible, 

the verification process of the data and the determination that the violation is not the 

result of a natural event or a curable violation of an existing SIP control measure. 

(2) Upon verification of the violation and determination that the violation calls for 

new or revised control measures, the department will begin the state rulemaking 

process, proceeding according to the following schedule: 

a. Initiate rulemaking and hold a workshop within six (6) months proposing a new 

or revised control strategy for reducing emissions of VOC or NOx. 

Department of Environmental Protection 5 Division of Air Resource Management 
b. Publish a notice of proposed rulemaking within twelve (12) months. 

c. Assuming approval by the department Secretary or Enviromental Regulation 

Commission and no administrative rule challenge, file rule with the Florida Secretary 

of State for adoption no later than 90 days after the date of proposal. 

d. Within 60 days of adoption, submit the rule to the EPA as a proposed SIP 

revision in accordance with CFR 51.104. 

Trigger 2: The ozone precursor emissions inventory update of 2008,20 11, or 2014 

shows emissions of VOC or NOx have increased by five percent (5%) or more above the 

2002 level and the ozone design value for that update year is greater than or equal to 

0.081 ppm, but no violation of the NAAQS for ozone has occurred,. 

Action schedule: 

(1) The department will complete an evaluation of ozone concentrations at all 

monitors in the maintenance area having the increased emissions to determine if 

an upward trend in ambient ozone concentrations is occuning. The trend will be 

determined for the most recent five-year period using an appropriate statistical 

technique. Hypothesis testing will be used to identify which monitors exhibit a 

trend for the annual fourth highest 8-hour ozone concentration at a significance 

level of alpha equals 0.05. Any monitor havinga significant upward trend in the 

maintenance area is deemed to trigger action schedule item (2). Ifthere is no 

trend or a downward trend, then no immediate action is necessary. Annual 

evaluation of the ozone concentration trend will continue. 

(2) If an upward trend is determined, the department will complete an 

evaluation within six (6) months to determine the most cost-effective means for 

lowering VOC or NOx emissions to the 2002 level, or lower. 

(3) Upon completion of the evaluation, the department, as appropriate, will 

begin the state rulemaking process, proceeding according to the Trigger 1 

schedule. 
11. Attainment Inventory 

In accordance with EPA's Maintenance Plan Guidance Document the state mav use as 

its attainment year one of any of the three years on which the 8-hour attainment 

designation was based (i.e., 2001,2002, and 2003). Because areas are already required to 

develop an inventory for 2002 under EPA's Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule 

(CERR), EPA recommends the use of that year as the attainment emission inventory base 

year for the section 110(a)(l) maintenance plan. For all three maintenance areas in 

Florida, the year 2002 will be used. While the year 2002 is being used here to establish 

the base year, it should be noted that the actual year in which each of these areas attained 

the 8-hour NAAQS occurred prior to 2002 and is different for each area. For the 

Southeast Florida area, no monitor has ever had a design value exceeding the 8-hour 

NAAQS, with monitoring going back to the late 1970's. The closest any monitor came 

was a design value of 0.084 ppm in 1986. For the Tampa Bay area, the most recent year 

in which a monitoring 8-how design value exceeded the NAAQS was year 2000. For the 

Northeast Florida area, the most recent year was 1989. (See Section 111, Maintenance 

Demonstration.) 

The 2002 emissions inventory used for this SIP revision was compiled by contractors for 

the Southeast consortium of states developing the regional haze SIP (VISTAS - Visibility 

Improvement State and Tribal Association of the Southeast). This inventory has been 

reviewed by the state, and the detailed description of methodologies and procedures are 

provided in the VISTAS emissions inventory documentation, included as Appendix A of 

this plan. EPA guidance generally requires that the typical summer day data be used for 

ozone planning purposes. For this purpose, the July 18, 2002, daily emissions were 

extracted as representative of a typical summer day2. Emissions are classified in the 

traditional cat&ofies used for summarizing these data: point sources, area sources, onroad motor vehicles, and non-road mobile sources. More detailed breakdowns of these 

categories can be obtained from the VISTAS documentation. 

The VISTAS mentory was used to develop an au quality modehg inventory uslng the SMOKE 

emissions modelmng tool. T~E rnodehg Inventory lncluded the dally and seasonal emlssrons that vary wlth 

meteorologcal or operaUona1 cond~tions The specific dete, July 18,2002, was selected sunply because it 

was available from the VISTAS dataset. VISTAS had randomly selected and extracted the data for this day 

to perfonn qual~ty assurance checks.

111. Maintenance Demonstration 

The maintenance plan must show continued compliance for at least a ten-year period (i.e., 

through 20 14). A demonstration of this compliance can be assumed if emissions of the 

primary precursors to ozone formation, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen 

oxides (NOx), are shown to remain at or below the emissions occurring in the attainment 

year. The attainment year is the year in which the area came into compliance with the 

standard and has remained in attainment since that time. For the purpose of this plan, the 

year 2002 (see Table 1 above) is being used as the attainment year. This is a conm-vative 

assumption since, as stated previously, all of the Florida areas were showing ambient 

ozone measurements that would have been in compliance prior to 2002, and emissions of 

both ozone precursors have been decreasing during that time. Appendix B contains the 

historic 8-hour ozone levels (design values) for each of the areas. Table 2, below, 

provides a summary of the maximum &hour ozone design values determined for each 

area All of the three areas have been in compliance with the 8-hour ozone ambient 

standard since (and including) 2002.

Projections of the ozone precursor emissions VOC and NOx were developed by VISTAS 

for the years 2009 and 2018. These projections, along with the actual 2002 inventory 

also developed by VISTAS, are used to demonstrate expected ten-year compliance with 

the 8-hour ambient air quality ozone standard. As developed for the actual 2002 

emissions inventory, the projections are determined for a typical summer day based on 

the data extracted for July 18. Projected emissions from electric generating units and 

fires are reflective of typical conditions since year-to-year variability cannot be 

accurately forecast for these sources. Intermediate years are determined by linear 

interpolation. This is an appropriate assumption, given the generally smoothly varying 

nature of growth (e.g., population, vehicle miles traveled, stafe gross product, etc.). Step 

changes can occur, usually associated with new large stationary sources going on-line or 

with large emission reductions at stationary sources due to the addition of emission 

control devices or procedures. However, because large new sources are subject to strict 

control, any emissions increases from these sources that may occur are not likely to be as 

large as the emissions decreases that occur with the shut-down of an older, dirtier plant or 

when a control device is installed on an older plant Consequently, the net effect is to 

reduce emissions in time, and over the relatively large and populated areas covering these 

maintenance areas, considering all the other source categories, not produce significant 

spikes in emissions. 

The projected emissions of VOC and NOx for 2009 and 2018, as derived from VISTAS, 

are provided in the following tables. Emissions are parsed according to stationary point 

sources, stationary area sources, on-road motor vehicles. and non-road mobile sources.

Table 5 summarizes these data over each of the three areas for the intermediate years 

appropriate for this maintenance plan. 

Table 5 - Projections of Anthropogenic VOC and N0x Emissions. 

fi I VOC 

For each of the three maintenance areas, arrthropogenic emissions of both VOC and NOx 

are projected to be less 2002 actual emissions. Biogenic emissions are not included here, 

but would be treated as constant and, thus, would not affect the trend.

The monitoring networks are operated by the approved local programs within each 

county. These ozone monitors will continue to operate in accordance with 40 CFR 58 to 

verify maintenance of the 8-hour ozone standard in each respective area. Any 

modifications to these networks will be made in consultation with the EPA regional 

office and will be accompanied by appropriate technical and statistical analysis 

supporting the modification. 

Department of Environmental Protection 13 Division of Air Resource Management 
V. Contingency Plan 

The contingency plan is provided to assure that any violations of an 8-hour ozone 

standard in any of the maintenance areas are promptly corrected. The basis of the 

contingency plan is the commitment by the department to respond in a timely manner to 

reduce ozone precursor emissions when the need for action is triggered. Two triggers for 

action are stated in section I of this document (Statement of Commitment No. 4): 1) a 

violation of the 8-hour ozone standard and 2) an increase in ozone precursor emissions 

such that emissions of either VOC or NOx exceed the attainment year emissions level. 

A number of control measures could potentially be adopted to further reduce either VOC 

or NOx emissions. Some of these measures are listed below, in no particular order. 

These control strategy options would be considered, as necessary, to either correct for a 

violation or to prevent an imminent violation from occumng. 

a. Reinstate nonattainment new source review 

h. Mandate less volatile gasoline 

c. Add or revise VOC or NOx RACT rules 

d. Expand VOC or NOx control strategies to other counties affecting the 

maintenance area 

e. Expand control strategies to new control technique guideline (CTG) categories 

f. Implement mobile source transportation control 

The department would expect to propose one or more of the above emission reduction 

strategies. taking into consideration the severity of the violation and the cost effectiveness 

of the various control strategy options. The department reserves the right, however, to 

choose another strategy, which may not be known at this time, but affords a more 

efficient and cost-effective emissions reduction. 

VI. Verification of Continued A ftainment 

The department will continue to verifj, the attainment status for each of the maintenance 

areas through its ozone monitoring network (Statement of Commitment No. 2). It will 

also continue to track emissions of ozone precursors by developing periodic emissions 

inventories (Statement of Commitment No. 3).

1. The VIS1'AS Emissions inventory (Appndix A) is missing fmm the submittal. 

2. Attainment Inventory. - July 18, 2002. daily emissions are used as rcprescntative of a typical 

summer day. and was cxtractcd fmm the VISTAS dataset as such. Any use of the VISTAS 

dataset should be supponcd with appropriate ducumcntation and the basis for all assumptio~is 

derived from such dataset should also conlain supporting documentation. 

New Source Keview Update 

1. 'The Statc did not revise the definition for major modification (62-21 0.200(161)(b) to include 

that any significant emissions increase from any emissions unit or net emissions increa~e at a 

major stationary source that is significant for volatile organic compounds or NOx shall be 

consid~r significant for ozone, as included in 40 CFR 5221(b)(2)(ii). 

2. The State did not make changes to its non-attainment NSR rule. This is currently not an issue, 

sincc thcrc are no non-attainment arcas in Florida, but is worth addressing in anticipation of 

possiMc fi~turevents.
