### Notice of Public Hearings - Please Confirm Receipt MARYLAND DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT AIR & RADIATION MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATION NOTICE OF PUBUC HEARINGS In March, 2010, the Air and Radiation Management Adm nistration will hold public hearings concerning proposed amendments to air quality regulations and submiss1on of regulations to the Environmental Protectlon Agency (EPA) for approval as part of Maryland's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The actions are brieny described below: 1. Opacity Requirements for Fuel Burning Equipment that Demonstrate Compliance with COM Data Adopt amendments 

### to Regulation .01 and .05, repeat existing Regulat ions .10 and .11 and adopt new Regulations .10 and .11 under COMAR 26.11.01 General Admin istrative Provi sions; and (2) Amend Regulations .01 and .05 under COMAR 26.11.09 Control of Fuel-Burn i ng Equipment, Stationary Internal Combustion Engines, and Certain Fuel-Burning Installations. This action will adopt new requirements to demonstrate compliance with vis1ble emi ss ion li mitations through the use of continuous opacity monitors (COMs). To determine the effect of a variety of exceedance times and levels that might occur under realistic operating conditions at a facility in Maryland, the Department performed an air quality impact modeling analysis. The purpose of this air quality impact analysis was to support this proposal to set standards for sources that have installed COMs. This air quality modeling analysis demonstrated that under the conditions allowed in this regulation revision, there will be no interference in meeting and maintaining the PM10 24-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The proposed standards will affect power plants and other facilities that measure opacity through use of a COM. The mass emission limits will remain in effect for all facilities that have installed a COM. The use of Techn ical Memorandum 90-01 "Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) Policies and Procedures" for the fuel burning equipment will be discontinued except for Part II "Quality Assurance Requirements for Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems". This Techn ical Memorandum 90·01 is incorporated by reference under COMAR 26.11.01.11. 2. Proposal to Submit COMAR 26.11.08.07 and .08 COMAR 26.11.14.05 to EPA for Approval.

Th i s action will continue the NOx emission requirements for i nternal combustion engines located at natural gas pipeline compression stations and NOx requirements for cement kilns located at Portland cement manufac:tunng plants that were included in the NOx Reduction and Trading Program (NOx SIP call) under COMAR 26.11.29 and .30. The action will make the NOx emi ssi on requ i rements for those cement kilns more strict than the existing requirements beginnmg in April 2011. 5.

Opadty Requirements for Fuel Burning Equipment that Demonstrate Compliance with COM Data Amendments to Regulation .01 and .05, repeal exi sting Regulations .10 and .11 and adopt new Regulations .10 and .11 under COMAR 26.11.01 General Administrative Provisions; and (2) Amend Regulations .01 and .05 under COMAR 26.11.09 Control of FuelBurning Equipment, Stationary Internal CombuStion Engi nes, and Certai n Fuel-Burni ng Installations. This action will adopt new requ irements to demonstrate compliance with visible emission limitations through the use of continuous opadty monitors (COMs). To determ i ne the effect of a variety of exceedance times and levels that might occur under realistic operating conditions at a fadlity In Maryland, the Department performed an air quality impact modeling analysis. The purpose of this ai r quality impact analysis was 

### to support this proposal 

### to set standards for sources that have installed COMs. This air quality modeling analysis demonstrated that under the conditions allowed in this regulation revision, there will be no interference in meeting and maintain i ng the PM10 24-hour National Amb ient Air Quality Standard (NMQS). The proposed standards will affect power plants and other facilities that measure opadty through use of a COM. The mass emission limits will remain in effect for all faolities that have installed a COM. The use of Technical Memorandum 90-01 "Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) Policies and Procedures" for the fuel burning equipment will be discontinued except for Part II "Quality Assurance Requirements for Continuous Opadtv Monitoring Systems". This Technical Memorandum 90·011s .ncorporated by reference under COMAR 26.11.01.11. 2. Proposal to Submit COMAR 26.11.08.07 and .08 COMAR 26.11.14.05

## can) under COMAR 26.11.29 and .30. The action will make the NOx**em SSion**  requirements for those cement kilns more strict than the exiSting requirements beginning i n April 2011.
