methodology used in determining sulfur dioxide (S02) and nitrogen oxide CNOx) emission 

allowance allocations to replace the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) allowance 

allocation for the 2016 control period as established under the Federal Cross State Air Pollution 

Rule (CSAPR). 

WHEREAS, no requests for a public hearing were received and therefore no public 

hearing was held; and 

WHEREAS, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management has reviewed the 

written submissions from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introduced into the 

record, and has prepared a concise statement of the response to comments received; and 

WHEREAS, the EPA was the only commenter for this proposal; and 

WHEREAS, minor changes were made to the proposed documents pursuant to comments 

from the EPA. 

NOW THEREFORE, as Director of the Department, I hereby adopt the proposed revision

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

REGARDING THE 

ALABAMA STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP) 

Notice is hereby given that the Alabama Department of Environmental Management is providing the 

opportunity for interested persons to comment on Alabama's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) 

Allocation Methodology. Interested parties may request that a public hearing be held. 

If a hearing is held, it will be held on March 20, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. in the Main Hearing Room at 

the ADEM - Central Office location at 1400 Coliseum Blvd. 

Those requesting a hearing should call (334) 271-7909. The deadline to submit a request for a hearing is 

5:00 p.m. on March 18, 2015. If no hearing is to be held, a Notice of Cancellation of the hearing will be posted on 

March 19, 2015, on the Department's website located at www.adem.state.ai.us/PubHearinqs/PubHearinqs.htm. 

Interested persons may also call (334) 271-7909 to determine if a public hearing will be held. 

Effective January 1, 2015, EPA replaced the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) with the Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule (CSAPR) to reduce transported pollution that significantly affects downwind nonattainment and 

maintenance problems. CSAPR requires reduction of sulfur dioxide (S0 2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from 

power plants in the eastern half of the United States. 

Under CSAPR, EPA has the authority to decide on 502 and NOx emission allowance allocations for 2015. 

EPA has communicated the 2015 allocations to the affected sources. I n addition, EPA has given Alabama the 

opportunity to develop and submit 2016 allowance allocations for affected sources in the State. ADEM is giving the 

public the opportunity to comment on the methodology to be used in determining the allocations for the affected 

sources . 

Copies of the proposed methodology are available at a cost of 30 cents per page at each of the ADEM office 

locations listed below or on the Internet at www.adem.state.ai.us/PubHearinqs/PubHearinqs.htm at no cost.

Reconciliation Statements 
Reconciliation of Comments Received on the Alabama Department of 

Environmental Management's CSAPR Trading Program 2016 

Allowance Allocation SIP Revision 

The USEP A was the only commenter. A summary of their comments follows. 

EPA Comm ent #1: 

Pursuant to the CSAPR, the 2016 state-determined allowances for each trading program 

can only be allocated to existing units that conunenced operation before January 1, 2010. 

Accord ing to the CAMD emissions database, the Mcintosh Plant (7063) units**4 and 

**5 commenced operation after January 1, 2010, and therefore are not identified as 

"existing units" subject to 20 16 state-determined allowance allocations. 

ADEM Response: ADE.M has verified the dates that the Mcintosh Plant (7063) 

units **4 and **5 commenced operation, and these units have been removed from 

the 2016 allocations. 

EPA Comment #2: 

When transmitting the final SIP reviSIOn to the EPA, please clarify that the State is 

submitting this revision for incorporation into the Alabama SIP and include a request that 

the 2 016 state-determined allowance allocations also be incorporated into the SIP. 

ADEA1 Response: ADEM will include a letter, when transmifling the final SIP 

revision to EPA, which will include a request to incorporate the 2016 statedetermined allowance allocations into the SIP. 

No revisions were made to the 2016 SIP revision as a result of this comment. 

EPA Comment #3: 

I. The CSAPR provided for a narrow SIP revision procedure to allow states the 

flexibility to allocate allowances for the 2013 (tolled to 2016) compliance 

period only . Please elaborate on the use of a 2-year allocation cycle. 

A DEM Response: ADEM plans to employ a 2-year allocation cycle beginning 

with the 2017 allocation cycle which will be included in our Transport Rule SIP. 

No changes were made to the 2016 SIP result ofthis comment.

Final 2016 Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) Allocation Methodology and StateDetermined Allowance Allocations 

Alabama Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

Allocation Methodology 

• Effective January 1, 20 15, CSAPR took the place of CAJR. EPA has sole authority to 

decide on 2015's allocations, and has communi cated 201 5 allocations to the affected 

sources. EPA has given the states the opportunity to submit 2016 allocations, which are 

due to EPA by April I, 2015. 

• The proposed methodology: 

o Voluntary installation and use of control equipment is rewarded, but the 

reward is phased out gradually in future re-allocations. 

o A 2-year allocation cycle will be used. 

o This approach is based on each unit's share of the statewide total of the 

average 3 highest years of heat input using the years 2009-2013; with each 

unit's allocations being capped at the highest histo.-ic emission using the 

years 2006-2013. An additional cap is applied for an enforcement 

action/permit limit. The look back period moves with the 2 year cycle. 

o The 2016 and 2017 allocations will be based on heat input year·s 2009-2013. 

o If any allowances remain after the initial allocation, a llowances will be 

dispensed pro rata to all units, except those with an enforcement action in 

place, or· those that r·eceived allocations up to their historic emissions ca p.
