1.57 Introduction: State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision for Purposes of the Emissions 

Statement and Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto 

County, Mississippi. 

The purpose of this State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision is to implement Sections 

182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 7401 et seq.), with respect to the requirements for an Emissions Statement and 

an Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, 

Mississippi. 

Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires Marginal and above areas to submit an 

emissions statement within 2 years of designation as nonattainment. Specifically it 

provides that the emissions statement must: “...require that the owner or operator of each 

stationary source of oxides of nitrogen or volatile organic compounds provide the state 

with a statement, in such form as the Administrator may prescribe (or an equivalent 

alternative developed by the state), for classes or categories of sources, showing the 

actual emissions of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds from that source. 

The first such statement shall be submitted within 3 years after the date of the enactment 

of the CAA Amendments of 1990. Subsequent statements shall be submitted at least 

every year thereafter.” Appendix U contains new state regulations which will implement 

the Emissions Statement requirement for any areas designated as nonattainment for the 

National Air Quality Standard for ground-level ozone. The new regulations are 11 

Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, Regulations for Ambient Air 

Quality Nonattainment Areas. The regulations are applicable to sources in DeSoto 

County, Mississippi as well as any other areas that might be designated nonattainment in 

the future. 

CAA section 182(a)(1) requires that Marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas 

submit a base year emissions inventory for the nonattainment area 2 years after 

designation as nonattainment. The emissions are reported as tons/average summer day of 

pollutant. In accordance with the requirements of EPA’s Emissions Inventory Guidance 

for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations, November 2005, the only 

pollutants reported are Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 

and emissions are summed as tons/average summer day for the year 2011. Appendix V 

contains the Emission Inventory for DeSoto County, Mississippi.

MISSISSIPPI COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 

PUBLIC NOTICE START DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 

DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS: OCTOBER 2, 2014 

PLEASE TAKE NOTE that the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality 

(“Commission”) is considering adopting a State Implementation Plan Revision for Purposes of 

an Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi and 

adopting new air pollution control regulations for areas in Mississippi designated as 

Nonattainment for Federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The new 

proposed regulations will be entitled 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, 

“Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Nonattainment Areas” and will be applicable statewide. 

I. Substance of the proposed action: 

On July 22, 2012, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated a 

portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi to be included as a part of the Memphis, Tennessee – 

Mississippi – Arkansas (TN-MS-AR) Marginal Ozone Nonattainment Area. Therefore, the 

Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is required by the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) to implement requirements for certain air emission sources in Nonattainment Areas to 

submit an Emissions Statement annually. The Department is also required to submit an 

Emissions Inventory of sources in the nonattainment portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi. 

Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the (CAA) requires that within two (2) years of enactment of the CAA 

Amendments of 1990, states submit to EPA a SIP submittal requiring sources in their marginal 

and above ozone nonattainment areas to submit annual emissions statements. CAA section 

182(a)(1) requires that marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas submit a base year 

emission inventory of ozone precursors for the nonattainment area two(2) years after 

designation. 

The Department is proposing to adopt a State Implementation Plan Revision (SIP Revision) 

which includes adoption of new air pollution control regulations specifically for the purposes of 

implementing federal requirements for areas designated as nonattainment for National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The proposed new air pollution control regulations are entitled 

11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, “Regulations for Ambient Air Quality 

Nonattainment Areas”. The regulations will be applicable to sources in DeSoto County, 

Mississippi as well as any other areas in Mississippi that may be designated nonattainment for air 

quality in the future. The proposed SIP Revision also includes the required emissions inventory 

for DeSoto County, Mississippi. 

II. Manner By Which the Public May Comment. 

Copies of the proposed SIP Revision and proposed regulations may be obtained by calling Mr. 

Keith Head at 601-961-5577 or writing to Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Air 

Division, P.O. Box 2261, Jackson, Mississippi 39201. For persons with internet access, the 

proposed SIP Revision and proposed regulations may be found on the Mississippi Department of 

Environmental Quality’s website at http://www.deq.state.ms.us under Programs/Air Quality/New

2011 POINT SOURCE INVENTORY

The development of the point source inventory by the Department began with the collection of 

actual 2011 process data and emission estimates from all Title V stationary sources that are 

required to submit inventory data according to the Air Emissions Reporting Rule (AERR). Each 

2011 inventory received was reviewed by the Department’s staff to ensure that correct 

procedures were followed and appropriate emission factors, such as stack testing or AP-42 

emission factors, were used in developing the inventory. The Department submitted the 2011 

point data to the EPA as part of the 2011 NEI effort. The EPA did make some amendments to 

the Department’s data, but primarily to “gap fill” pollutants or sources not provided by agencies. 

To estimate the average summer day emissions for industrial point sources, the MDEQ used 

monthly throughput percentages provided by the facilities. The airport point source inventory 

was developed from data provided by the EPA. It was assumed that these sources operated at a 

constant rate throughout all months of the year (8.333% activity for each month). If each month 

of the year contributed 8.333% of the activity, the percent of activity for the 5 ozone season 

months would be 41.66%. Since there are 153 days in the 2011 ozone season, the 41.66% can be 

divided by 153 to get an estimate of activity for an average ozone season day. This gives a result 

of 0.272% activity for each day. The estimated ratio of 0.00272 was multiplied by the annual 

emissions to estimate the average summer day emissions. The data was reviewed by the 

Department’s staff and updated as necessary.

2011 NONPOINT EMISSION INVENTORY 

Nonpoint sources include emissions estimates from sources that are either too small or too 

numerous to be considered point sources which are calculated and recorded on the county-level. 

Major categories for nonpoint sources include: Solvent use such as small surface coating 

operations, light industrial/commercial sources such as commercial bakeries, product storage and 

transport distribution such as gasoline, stationary source fuel combustion such as residential fuel 

combustion, waste management such as landfills, agriculture such as feedlots and crop burning, 

and miscellaneous area sources such as unpaved roads. 

Emissions from nonpoint sources are calculated using established emissions factors provided by 

EPA. Activity data adjustments are made to address some issues when estimating emissions. 

These issues include coal data, nonroad mobile source consumption, non-fuel use, and point 

source adjustment. These adjustments are made to prevent emissions from being double 

counted. Average summer day emissions were calculated by summing the monthly emissions

2011 NONROAD MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS 

Non-road sources are vehicles that normally operate off-road/off-highway and not on-road/onhighway. Non-road emissions source category include: agricultural equipment, construction and 

mining equipment, lawn and garden equipment, off-road recreational equipment, and drilling 

rigs. The nonroad mobile emissions are derived from the 2011 National Emissions Inventory 

(NEI). 

Aircraft engine emissions occurring during landing & takeoff operations and the ground support 

equipment & auxiliary power units (APU) associated with the aircraft are included in the point 

source category at individual airports. In-flight aircraft emissions, locomotive emissions outside 

of the rail yards, and commercial marine vessel emissions (both underway and port emissions) 

are included in the Non-Point source category. 

The NEI Onroad and Nonroad source categories contain mobile sources which are estimated by 

EPA for the 2011 NEI by the MOVES2010b and NONROAD models, respectively. 

NONROAD model was run within the National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM). Locomotives 

and commercial marine vessels are estimated for the 2011 NEI by the NONROAD model even 

though the emission sources are not included in the Non-road source category. Average summer 

day emissions were calculated by summing the monthly emissions for the five summer months 

(May, June, July, August and September) and dividing the sum by the number of 2011 summer 

days (153 days).

2011 ONROAD MOBILE EMISSIONS 

The following section contains onroad mobile inventory documentation for the portion of 

DeSoto County that is within Memphis Ozone Nonattainment Area. The inventory data is for 

calendar year 2011. The DeSoto County emissions inventory was developed by the Memphis 

Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), with input from MDEQ and others, as 

part of the 2040 Desoto County Nonattainment Area Moves Air Quality Conformity 

Demonstration (March 2013). To calculate the average summer day emissions, the MPO 

modeled weekday emissions in July. 

Onroad mobile sources are sources of pollution caused by vehicles transporting goods or people 

on public roadways. This includes passenger cars, motorcycles, minivans, sport-utility vehicles, 

light-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and buses. The sectors include emissions from parking 

areas as well as emissions while the vehicles are moving.

DISCUSSION:

The purpose of this State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision is to implement Sections 

182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 7401 et seq.), with respect to the requirements for an Emissions Statement and an 

Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi. 

PURPOSE OF THE REVISION:

The purpose of this State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision is to implement Sections 

182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 7401 et seq.), with respect to the requirements for an Emissions Statement and an 

Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi. 

Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires Marginal and above areas to submit an emissions 

statement within 2 years of designation as nonattainment. Specifically it provides that the 

emissions statement must: “...require that the owner or operator of each stationary source of 

oxides of nitrogen or volatile organic compounds provide the state with a statement, in such 

form as the Administrator may prescribe (or an equivalent alternative developed by the 

state), for classes or categories of sources, showing the actual emissions of oxides of 

nitrogen and volatile organic compounds from that source. The first such statement shall be 

submitted within 3 years after the date of the enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990. 

Subsequent statements shall be submitted at least every year thereafter.” Appendix U 

contains new state regulations which will implement the Emissions Statement requirement 

for any areas designated as nonattainment for the National Air Quality Standard for groundlevel ozone. The new regulations are 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 

11, Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Nonattainment Areas. The regulations are 

applicable to sources in DeSoto County, Mississippi as well as any other areas that might be 

designated nonattainment in the future. 

CAA section 182(a)(1) requires that Marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas submit a 

base year emissions inventory for the nonattainment area 2 years after designation as 

nonattainment. The emissions are reported as tons/average summer day of pollutant. In 

accordance with the requirements of EPA’s Emissions Inventory Guidance for 

Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations, November 2005, the only pollutants reported are 

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and emissions are summed 

as tons/average summer day for the year 2011. Appendix V contains the Emission Inventory 

for DeSoto County, Mississippi. 

SOURCES AFFECTED BY THE REVISION:

This SIP revision potentially affects all sources and practices subject to air pollution control 

regulations in Mississippi.

Nonattainment for Federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The new 

proposed regulations will be entitled 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, 

“Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Non-Attainment Areas” and will be applicable statewide. 

I. Substance of the proposed action: 

On July 22, 2012, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated 

a portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi to be included as a part of the Memphis, 

Tennessee – Mississippi – Arkansas (TN-MS-AR) Marginal Ozone Non-Attainment 

Area. Therefore, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is 

required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) to implement requirements for certain air emission 

sources in Non-Attainment Areas to submit an Emissions Statement annually. The 

Department is also required to submit an Emissions Inventory of sources in the nonattainment portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi. Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the (CAA) 

requires that within two (2) years of enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990, states 

submit to EPA a SIP submittal requiring sources in their marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas to submit annual emissions statements. CAA section 182(a)(1) requires 

that marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas submit a base year emission 

inventory of ozone precursors for the nonattainment area two(2) years after designation. 

The Department is proposing to adopt a State Implementation Plan Revision (SIP 

Revision) which includes adoption of new air pollution control regulations specifically 

for the purposes of implementing federal requirements for areas designated as nonattainment for National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The proposed new air 

pollution control regulations are entitled 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, 

Chapter 11, “Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Non-Attainment Areas”. The 

regulations will be applicable to sources in DeSoto County, Mississippi as well as any 

other areas in Mississippi that may be designated non-attainment for air quality in the 

future. The proposed SIP Revision also includes the required emissions inventory for 

DeSoto County, Mississippi. 

II. Manner By Which the Public May Comment.
