CERTIFICATION OF THE 2010 1-HOUR NITROGEN DIOXIDE 

INFRASTURCTURE STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 

When EPA revises or adds a new National Ambient Air Quality Standard, section 110 ofthe 

federal Clean Air Act (42 USC§ 7410) requires the state to review its current regulations and 

make the necessary changes to ensure the state's air pollution control program can implement, 

maintain, and enforce the revised or new National Ambient Air Quality Standards. 

The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) completed a 

review of the laws and regulations for the Air Pollution Control Program as it relates to the 

implementation, maintenance, and enforcement ofthe 2010 revised nitrogen dioxide National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard. The review finds that all the necessary changes to the regulations 

have been completed and currently no state laws or rules will need to be changed to implement 

the 2010 revised nitrogen dioxide standard. DENR certifies that South Dakota is implementing 

the 2010 revised nitrogen dioxide standard and is meeting all the requirements in section 

11 O(a)(2)(A through H and J through M) of the Clean Air Act. 

All state regulation changes go through the department's public notice procedures, board 

approval and were adopted into state regulations. The following information describes the 

regulations and how DENR is implementing in South Dakota the 2010 revised nitrogen dioxide 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard. 
State of South Dakota 

Infrastructure State Implementation Plan 

2010 1-Hour Nitrogen Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

1.0 Introduction 

On January 22, 20 I 0, EPA revised the nitrogen dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

by adding a 1-hour concentration level of I 00 parts per billion (ppb) which triggered the 

submittal of an infrastructure State Implementation Plan (SIP) from each state to EPA by January 

2013. 

On January 24, 2011, the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources 

(DENR) submitted its proposed designation of attainment ofthe 1-hour nitrogen dioxide 

standard for all counties in South Dakota. On January 20,2012, EPA notified South Dakota of 

EPA's 20 I 0 1-hour nitrogen dioxide standard designations of unclassifiable/attainment for all 

areas in the state. 

This document certifies and demonstrates that South Dakota is meeting the requirements in 

section IIO(a)(l) and IIO(a)(2) ofthe Clean Air Act. Attachment A provides a list of each 

section in the Administrative Rules of South Dakota (ARSD) Article 74:36 (Air Pollution 

Control Program) that is part of South Dakota's SIP, the effective date of each section, and 

EPA's last approval of each section. 

2.0 Section 110(a)(1) 

Requirement Summary 

"Each State shall, after reasonable notice and public hearing, adopt and submit to the 

Administrator, [. . .] a plan which provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of 

such primary standard in each air quality control region (or portion thereof) with such State. " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

In accordance with South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) 1-26, after reasonable notice for public 

comment, proposed rule changes are presented to the Board of Minerals and Environment during 

a public hearing. The rules if approved by the Board are then submitted to the State's Interim 

Rules Committee for approval. Once approved by the Committee, the rules are presented to the 

Secretary of State and are final. Once the rules are final, DENR submits the changes to EPA as 

part of South Dakota's SIP with the documentation necessary to demonstrate the changes were 

approved in accordance with state procedures. 

Currently, DENR submitted the following SIP changes to EPA related to the revised 20 I 0 1-hour 

nitrogen dioxide standard: 
1. June 14, 2010- DENR submitted revisions to South Dakota's SIP which includes an air 

quality construction permit program and revisions to the rules which adopt 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations in Parts 1 to 99 as published on July 1, 2009. DENR is waiting for 

EPA to approve this SIP submittal; 

2. January 21, 2011- DENR submitted South Dakota's Regional Haze program as part of 

South Dakota's SIP. DENR submitted revisions to the program on September 19, 2011. 

On April26, 2012, EPA completed a full approval ofthe South Dakota's Regional Haze 

program in South Dakota's SIP; 

3. June 20, 2011- DENR submitted revisions to South Dakota's SIP which adopt EPA's 

greenhouse tailoring rule and revisions to the construction permit program. DENR is 

waiting for EPA to approve this SIP submittal; and 

4. July 29, 2013- DENR submitted revisions to the rules which adopt 40 Code ofFederal 

Regulations in Parts 1 to 99 as published on July 1, 2012. The rule changes adopted the 

2010 1-hour nitrogen dioxide standard. DENR is waiting for EPA to approve this SIP 

submittal. 

The SIP submittals that have not been approved by EPA are reflected in Attachment A. 

3.0 Section 110(a)(2) 

3.1 Section 110(a)(2)(A)- Emission limits and other control measures 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[. . .} include enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, 

means, or techniques (including economic incentives such as fees, marketable permits, and 

auctions of emissions rights), as well as schedules and timetables for compliance, as may be 

necessary or appropriate to meet the applicable requirements of this chapter; " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

Based on South Dakota's ambient air monitoring network, South Dakota has always attained the 

nitrogen dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards throughout the state, including the 

2010 1-hour nitrogen dioxide standard. Therefore, South Dakota has not been required to adopt 

specific rules limiting nitrogen oxide emissions from businesses in South Dakota. 

South Dakota's existing rules are sufficient to implement and maintain the 2010 1-hour nitrogen 

dioxide standard in South Dakota. The following is a list of those rules which have been 

approved in South Dakota's SIP or were submitted to EPA to be included in South Dakota's SIP 

and awaiting EPA's approval: 

1. ARSD Chapter 74:36:04 (Operating permits for minor sources); 

2. ARSD Chapter 74:36:09 (Prevention of significant deterioration); 

3. ARSD Chapter 74:36:20 (Construction permits for new sources and modifications); and 

4. ARSD Chapter 74:36:21 (Regional haze program). 

2 
In addition, the following rules which have been approved by EPA or delegated by EPA will also 

be used to implement and maintain the 20 I 0 I-hour nitrogen dioxide standard in South Dakota: 

I. ARSD Chapter 74:36:05 (Operating permits for Part 70 sources); 

2. ARSD Chapter 74:36:07 (New source performance standards); 

3. ARSD Chapter 74:36:08 (National emission standards for hazardous air pollutants); and 

4. ARSD Chapter 74:36:I6 (Acid rain program). 

South Dakota's authority to promulgate these rules is contained in SDCL 34A-I-I, 34A-I-6, 

34A-I-I8, 34A-I-I9, and 34A-I-21. 

3.2 Section 110(a)(2)(B)- Ambient air quality monitoring/data system 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[. . .} provide for establishment and operation of appropriate devices, 

methods, systems, and procedures necessary to monitor, compile, and analyze data on ambient 

air quality, and upon request, make such data available to the Administrator; " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

ARSD Chapter 74:36:02, which is part of South Dakota's SIP, defines the goals, national 

ambient air quality standards, air monitoring methods and monitoring requirements provide for 

establishment and operation of ambient air quality monitors, collecting and analyzing ambient air 

quality data and making this data available to EPA. Under these rules, DENR operates a network 

of air monitoring sites throughout South Dakota. Authority used to promulgate these rules is 

contained in SDCL 34A-l-6 and 34A-I-I5. 

The need for additional air monitoring sites to test for nitrogen dioxide levels are assessed each 

year as part of South Dakota's Annual Network Plan as required in 40 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) section 58.IO. The public is provided a 30 day period to comment on the 

proposed changes to South Dakota's ambient monitoring network before it is finalized and 

submitted to EPA for approval. The Annual Network Plan is available on DENR's website at: 

http://denr.sd.gov/des/ag/monitoring/state-mo.aspx 

The ambient data used to compare to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards in South 

Dakota is collected using EPA's designated federal reference method monitors as specified in 40 

CFR Part 50 or federal equivalent method monitors as specified in 40 CFR Part 53. DENR 

submits the ambient data to EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) database as required by 40 CFR 

Part 58. 

The nitrogen dioxide monitoring requirements in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D identifies the 

minimum number of nitrogen dioxide monitors in each state. The review ofthe requirements 

shows South Dakota is not required to have a near road site because there are no core-based 

3 
statistical areas (CBSA) with a population equal to or greater than 500,000. South Dakota is not 

required to have an area wide site because all CBSA's have a population less than 1,000,000. 

Finally EPA has not identified any regional susceptible and vulnerable populations in South 

Dakota requiring testing for nitrogen dioxide. 

3.3 Section 110(a)(2)(C)- Programs for enforcement, PSD, and NSR 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall [. 0 0} include a program to provide for the enforcement of the measures 

described in subparagraph (A) and regulation of the modification and construction of any 

stationary source within the areas covered by the plan as necessary to assure that national 

ambient air quality standards are achieved, including a permit program as required in parts C 

andD;" 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

SDCL 34A-I-39 through 34A-l-54 and 34A-l-62 gives DENR the authority to provide 

enforcement of South Dakota's SIP measures and the regulations that require new sources or 

modifications to existing sources to apply for and obtain an air quality permit before 

constructing. DENR reviews the application and ensures the new source or modification to an 

existing source will not cause an exceedance of a federal National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

before the air quality permit is issued. The air quality construction permit programs are identified 

below: 

I. ARSD Chapter 74:36:09 (Prevention of significant deterioration); and 

2. ARSD Chapter 74:36:20 (Construction permits for new sources and modifications). 

ARSD Chapter 74:36:09 already exists in South Dakota's SIP but certain sections have been 

revised and submitted to EPA for approval in South Dakota's SIP and are awaiting EPA's 

approval. ARSD Chapter 74:36:20 and revisions to the chapter have been submitted to EPA as 

part of South Dakota's SIP and is waiting EPA's approval. See Appendix A for the submittal 

dates and status. 

3.4 Section 110(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 

4 
(II) 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 or to protect visibility, " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

DENR recognizes the issues with the court opinion on EME Homer City Generation vs. 

Environmental Protection Agency and on how it affects Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) prongs 1 and 2. 

However, the Clean Air Act still requires the state to provide information it has addressing these 

elements in the infrastructure SIP in lieu of additional information that may affect this in the 

future. 

As stated earlier, South Dakota is attaining the 2010 1-hour nitrogen oxide standard and based on 

South Dakota's air emissions inventory, South Dakota does not contribute significantly or 

interfere with an implementation plan in another state. See Attachment B for supporting 

information. 

3.5 Section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii)- Interstate and international transport provisions 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[. .. ] insuring compliance with the applicable requirements of sections 

126 and 115 (relating to interstate and international pollution abatement); " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

South Dakota has a SIP approved PSD program which requires DENR to provide written 

notification to all nearby states and tribes treated as states of the potential impacts from the 

source for major new sources or major modification of an existing source of air pollution. This 

satisfies section 126(a) ofthe Clean Air Act. 

All of the states and tribes bordering South Dakota are attaining the 20 10 nitrogen dioxide 

standards. No source or sources in South Dakota are the subject of an active finding under 

Section 126 of the Clean Air Act with respect to any air pollutant. In addition, there are no final 

findings under Section 115 of the Clean Air Act against South Dakota with respect to any air 

pollutant. 

3.6 Section 110(a)(2)(E)(i)- Adequate personnel, funding, and authority 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[ .. .] provide: 

(i) necessary assurances that the State (or, except where the Administrator deems 

inappropriate, the general purpose local government or governments, or a regional 

agency designated by the state or general purpose local governments for such purpose) 

will have adequate personnel, funding, and authority under state (and, as appropriate, 

5 
local) law to carry out such implementation plan (and is not prohibited by any provision 

of federal or state law from carrying out such implementation plan or portion thereof)," 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

SDCL section 34A-1-4, 34A-1-7 through 34A-1-1 0 provides DENR with adequate personnel to 

carry out South Dakota's SIP and related issues. SDCL section 34A-1-57 through 34A-1-60, 

DENR's agreement with EPA for 105 grants, and associated matching state funds provides 

DENR with the funding necessary to carry out South Dakota's SIP and related issues. SDCL 

Chapter 34A-1 provides DENR with the legal authority to carry out South Dakota's SIP and 

related issues. 

3.7 Section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii)- Comply with the requirements respecting state boards 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[ .. .] provide: 

(ii) requirements that the State comply with the requirements respecting State boards under 

section 128 ofthis title," 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

SDCL section 1-40-25 (Board of Minerals and Environment-Composition-Appointment and 

terms) and 1-40-25.1 (Board ofMinerals and Environment composed in conformance with Clean 

Air Act) specifies that the board's composition must comply with the requirements of section 

128 ofthe Clean Air Act for all permits and enforcement orders initiated under SDCL 34A-l. 

3.8 Section 110(a)(2)(E)(iii)- State responsibility for ensuring adequate implementation 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[ .. .} provide: 

(iii) necessary assurances that, where the State has relied on a local or regional government, 

agency, or instrumentality for the implementation of any plan provision, the State has 

responsibility for ensuring adequate implementation of such plan provision; 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

The authority in SDCL section 34A-1-36 (Municipal and county programs approved by board) 

and 34A-1-37 (Municipal and county cooperation with other agencies) provide for the authority 

of the board to allow a municipal or county government to implement portions or the entire air 

pollution control program in its respective municipality or county. The authority in SDCL 

section 34A-1-38 (Control of air contaminant sources beyond capability oflocal authority) 

provides that if the board finds that any part of the local program is beyond the reasonable 

capability of implementing the air pollution control program, the department may assume and 

retain jurisdiction ofthe air pollution control program. 

6 
3.9 Section 110(a)(2)(F)- Stationary source monitoring and reporting 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall [. . .} require, as may be prescribed by the Administrator-

(i) the installation, maintenance, and replacement of equipment, and the implementation of 

other necessary steps, by owners or operators of stationary sources to monitor emissions 

from such sources, 

(ii) periodic reports on the nature and amounts of emissions and emissions-related data from 

such sources, and 

(iii)correlation of such reports by the State agency with any emission limitations or 

standards established pursuant to this Act, which reports shall be available at reasonable 

times for public inspection; " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

The following rules approved in South Dakota's SIP require sources to monitor and periodically 

report to ensure compliance with its air quality permit: 

I. ARSD section 74:36:04:15 -Contents of operating permit; 

2. ARSD Chapter 74:36:09- Prevention of significant deterioration program; 

3. ARSD Chapter 74:36:11- Performance testing; 

4. ARSD Chapter 74:36:13 -Continuous emission monitoring systems; and 

5. ARSD Chapter 74:36:20:15- Contents of construction permit. 

In addition, the following rules have been approved by EPA or delegated by EPA and identify 

monitoring and periodic reporting requirements for sources applicable to these standards. 

1. ARSD section 74:36:05:16.01- Operating permit requirements; 

2. ARSD Chapter 74:36:07- New Source Performance Standards; and 

3. ARSD Chapter 74:36:08- National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. 

3.10 Section 110(a)(2)(G)- Emergency episodes 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[. .. } provide for authority comparable to that in section 303 of this title 

and adequate contingency plans to implement such authority; " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

SDCL section 34A-1-45 (Emergency order for immediate reduction or discontinuance of 

emissions) is comparable to Section 303 ofthe Clean Air Act and provides that "if the Secretary 

of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources finds that any person is causing or 

contributing to air pollution and that such pollution creates an emergency by causing imminent 

7 
danger to human health or safety and requires immediate action to protect human health or 

safety, the Secretary shall order such person or persons to reduce or discontinue immediately the 

emissions of air contaminants. " 

ARSD section 74:36:03:01 (Air pollution emergency episode) provides the basis for the 

Secretary to take action to prevent air pollutant concentrations from reaching levels which could 

endanger the public health or to abate such concentrations should they occur. The Secretary may 

proclaim an air pollution emergency episode and its extent on the criteria specified in 40 CFR § 

51.151 and Appendix L to Part 51. 

3.11 Section 110(a)(2)(H)- Future SIP Revisions 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[ .. .} provide for revision of such plan-

(i) from time to time as may be necessary to take account of revisions of such national 

primary or secondary ambient air quality standard or the availability of improved or more 

expeditious methods of attaining such standard, and 

(ii) except as provided in paragraph (3)(C), whenever the Administrator finds on the basis of 

information available to the Administrator that the plan is substantially inadequate to attain 

the national ambient air quality standard which it implements, or to otherwise comply with 

any additional requirements established under this chapter; " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

SDCL section 34A-l-6 provides the South Dakota Department ofEnvironment and Natural 

Resources with the authority to revise South Dakota's SIP in response to changes to the federal 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards, availability of improved methods for attaining the 

federal standards, or in response to an EPA finding that South Dakota's SIP is substantially 

inadequate. 

3.12 Section 110(a)(2)(I)- Plans for nonattainment areas 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[ .. .} in the case of a plan or plan revision for an area designated as a 

nonattainment area, meet the applicable requirements of part D of this subchapter (relating to 

nonattainment areas);" 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

South Dakota is in attainment for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Therefore, this 

section is not applicable. 

8 
3.13 Section 110(a)(2)(J)- Consultation with government officials 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall [ .. .} meet the applicable requirements of section 121 of this title (relating 

to consultation), section 127 of this title (relating to public notification), and part C of this 

subchapter (relating to prevention of significant deterioration of air quality and visibility 

protection); " 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

SDCL section 34A-1-1 and 34A-1-10 provides the South Dakota Department ofEnvironment 

and Natural Resources with the authority to meet the applicable requirements of section 121 of 

the Clean Air Act. SDCL section 34A-1-10 requires the department to advise, consult, and 

cooperate with agencies ofthe state, local governments, industries, other states, interstate or 

interlocal agencies, and the federal government, and with interested persons or groups. 

SDCL section 1-40-31 provides full public inspection and disclosure of all nonconfidential 

public records relating to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and those 

activities within its jurisdiction. SDCL section 34A-1-9 provides the department with the 

authority to collect and disseminate information to the public. The department implements this 

by notifying the public of any concentrations that exceed the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards through the department's website that contains the daily concentrations updated hourly 

from 10 sites covering 33 parameters from continuous analyzers and monitors located throughout 

the state. The following is the department's website location: 

http://denr.sd.gov/des/ag/aarealtime.aspx 

ARSD Chapter 74:36:09 (Prevention of significant deterioration) adopts by reference federal 

regulations under 40 CFR Part 51 and 52 and provides DENR with regulations necessary to meet 

the applicable requirements of part C ofthe federal Clean Air Act related to prevention of 

significant deterioration and visibility protection. 

3.14 Section 110(a)(2)(K)- Air quality modeling/data 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[. .. } provide for: 

(i) the performance of such air quality modeling as the Administrator may prescribe for the 

purpose of predicting the effect on ambient air quality of any emissions of any air pollutant 

for which the Administrator has established a national ambient air quality standard, and 

(ii) the submission, upon request, of data related to such air quality modeling to the 

Administrator; " 

9 
South Dakota's Infrastructure 

ARSD Chapter 74:36:09 (Prevention of significant deterioration) and 74:36:20 (Construction 

permits for new sources and modifications) provide the South Dakota Department of 

Environment and Natural Resources with the ability to perform air quality modeling for 

predicting the new source or modification to an existing source impacts on the ambient air 

quality to ensure the National Ambient Air Quality Standard will not be exceeded. 

As stated earlier, SDCL section 34A-1-1, 34A-1-1 0, and 1-40-31 provides the department with 

the authority to advice, consult, and cooperate with EPA and provide EPA with public records 

such as air quality modeling. 

3.15 Section 110(a)(2)(L)- Permitting fees 

Requirement Summary 

"Each such plan shall[. .. } require the owner or operator of each major stationary source to 

pay to the permitting authority, as a condition of any permit required under this Act, a fee 

sufficient to cover-

(i) the reasonable costs of reviewing and acting upon any application for such a permit, and 

(ii) if the owner or operator receives a permit for such source, the reasonable costs of 

implementing and enforcing the terms and conditions of any such permit (not including any 

court costs or other costs associated with any enforcement action), until such fee requirement 

is superseded with respect to such sources by the Administrator's approval of a fee program 

under title V; 

South Dakota's Infrastructure 

DENR has an EPA approved Title V air quality operating permit program that requires major 

stationary sources to pay permitting fees (ARSD 74:37:01- Air Emission Fees) to cover the cost 

of reviewing, approving, implementing and enforcing the Title V air quality operating permit. 

Therefore, Section 11 O(a)(2)(L), is not applicable.

As represented in the tables, the largest emission source for nitrogen oxides is Big Stone I 

which is operated by Otter Tail Power Company in Grant County on the northeastern 

edge ofthe state. Ofthe 14,070 tons of nitrogen oxide statewide, Big Stone I is the major 

emitter at 9,825 tons. In June 2012, Otter Tail Power Company commenced construction 

of the air pollution control equipment required to meet the best available retrofit 

technology under South Dakota's Regional Haze program. The project consists of 

installing an upgraded baghouse, a dry flue gas desulfurization system, and a selective 

catalytic reduction system. Once completed, Otter Tail Power Company will reduce its 

B-5 
emissions of nitrogen oxides from 9,825 tons per year to approximately 2,400 tons per 

year which is approximately a 76% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions. 

Another reduction in emissions has come from Black Hills Power's Ben Fench facility in 

Rapid City which had the third highest emission level of nitrogen oxide. Black Hills 

Power's Ben French facility is located in the western side ofthe state and they shutdown 

the coal fired boiler at the facility in August 2012. This change will decrease emission 

levels down to around 20 tons of nitrogen oxide per year from the Ben French facility. 

B.3 South Dakota SIP Approved Programs 

South Dakota has a SIP approved PSD program and has successfully implemented this 

program for many years. After a 30 day public comment period, a public hearing on 

February 17, 2011, and Interim Rules Committee review on March 29, 2011, the federal 

Tailoring Rule provisions promulgated by EPA on June, 3, 2010 were incorporated in 

South Dakota's Prevention of Significant Deterioration program in ARSD Chapter 

74:36:09. The change became effective on April 20, 2011. The Tailoring Rule changes 

were submitted to EPA for approval on June 20, 2011 and EPA has not yet acted on this 

submittal. ARSD Chapter 74:36:09 was revised on June 25, 2013 and submitted to EPA 

for SIP approval on July 29, 2013. EPA has not yet acted on this submittal. 

South Dakota has a SIP approved Regional Haze Program which was revised on June 25, 

2013. DENR submitted the revised Regional Haze Program to EPA for approval on July 

29, 2013. EPA has not yet acted on this submittal. 

As stated earlier, DENR is waiting on EPA to approve the original submittal for South 

Dakota's air quality construction permit program and subsequent revisions in the State 

Implementation Plan. DENR submitted the latest revision to EPA for approval on July 

29,2013. 

B.4 South Dakota Meterology 

South Dakota's predominate wind direction is form the northwest and southeast during 

most of the year. Major weather systems move mainly from west to east through the 

state. 

B.5 · Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas in Neighboring States 

On January 24, 2011, DENR submitted the proposed designations for the 2010 1-hour 

nitrogen dioxide standard to EPA. In a response letter from EPA to Governor Dennis 

Daugaard, dated January 20, 2012, EPA designated all areas ofthe nation as 

unclassifiable/attainment for the 2010 standard. Although EPA designated all of South 

Dakota as unclassifiable/attainment; South Daktoa is attaining the 2010 1-hour nitorgen 

dioxide standard. 

B-6 
' ' 

There are no states bordering South Dakota that have a nonattainment or maintenance 

area for the 20 I 0 1-hour nitrogen dioxide standard. The only maintenance area in the 

nation is Los Angles, California which is hundreds of miles southwest of South Dakota. 

B.6 Conclusions 

The 20 I 0 1-hour nitrogen dioxide standard is being attained throughout South Dakota. 

One of the main reasons South Dakota is attaining the standard is its population and air 

emissions are relatively small. 

The 20 I 0 1-hour nitrogen dioxide standard is being met by all areas of the nation, except 

for one area in Los Angles, Californai. Predominate wind direction during the year keeps 

air pollutants on both sides of the state from being blown to California. Even if the wind 

blew in this directions, the distance to the maintenance areas, crossing several mountain 

ranges and dilution of the air pollution, it would have minimal impact and would not be 

identifiable from other sources between Califoria and South Dakota. 

The information above clearly shows South Dakota is not significantly impacting 

nonattainment or maintenance areas in other states. As South Dakota's Regional Haze 

Program is implemented, impacts, if any, will be even less from South Dakota. DENR 

believes its Regional Haze program in combination with its PSD program and air quality 

construction permit program ensures South Dakota is able to regulate any new source or 

modification to existing sources to prevent it from causing a nonattainment area in South 

Dakota or significantly impacting a nonattainment area or maintenance area in other 

states.
