INTRODUCTION

This, The Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air

Pollution Control hereinafter referred to as the "Plan", was

developed by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and

Ecology, subsequently adopted by the Commission on Pollution

Control and Ecology and approved by the Honorable Dale Bumpers,

Governor of the State of Arkansas.

The Plan,which was developed pursuant to and in

accordance with the Clean Air Act, as amended, and Federal

regulations promulgated thereto, is based upon the knowledge

of the State's air pollution problems and experience in

preventing and controlling these problems acquired by the

Department of Pollution Control and Ecology during the past

six years. Special care was taken during the development of

this Plan to assure the attainment and maintenance of the

national ambient air quality standards without a concomitant

abrogation of the State's authority and responsibility.

The adequacy of the Plan has been demonstrated using

computer modeling techniques acceptable to the Environmental

Protection Agency. The modeling efforts were based upon

selected applications of the provisions of the Arkansas

Air Pollution Control Code to the most populated and

industrialized area of the State. Based upon the efforts it

was demonstrated and is herein described, that the Arkansas

Air Pollution Control Code will provide those controls necessary

to achieve acceptable air quality throughout the State with

adequate margins of safety to accomodate expected future

growth within the State.

The Department appreciates the assistance extended by

the Environmental Protection Agency representatives in

developing this Plan. Advice and criticisms by these

representatives contributed to overall improvements in the

Plan. The Department also appreciates technical assistance

provided by the Environmental Protection Agency contractor, the

Radian Corporation.

In order to facilitate research and reference efforts,

the format of the Plan closely parallels the format of

Part 420, Chapter IV, Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations.
PART A

SECTION 420.1 DEFINITIONS.

Terminology generally used in this Plan conforms with

definitions used in Section 42 C.F.R. 420.1. As used in this

Plan:

(a) "The State" means the State of Arkansas:

(b) "Commission" means the Commission on Pollution Control

& Ecology:

(c) "Department" means the Department of Pollution Control

& Ecology:

(d) "Air Code" means the Arkansas Air Pollution Control Code,

as amended:

(e) "Effective Dates of the Air Code" means the "legally

enforceable compliance schedules" referenced in paragraph

(A) (1) of 42 C.F.R. 420.15. Other usages of the words

"Compliance Schedules" shall refer to periods of time given

a violator of the provisions of the Air Code to gain

compliance once any of the various enforcement techniques

of the Department are initiated.

SECTION 420.2 STIPULATIONS.

Stipulations as contained in 42 C.F.R. 420.2 have been

thoroughly considered in the development of this Plan. The

results of these considerations are indicated by the Plan itself.

SECTION 420.3 CLASSIFICATION OF REGIONS.

On the following pages the boundaries and the priorities

of Arkansas air quality control regions are illustrated.

It is noted that the delineation of the regions resulted

from designation by the National Air Pollution Control

Administration, now the Environmental Protection Agency

(E.P.A.). Priorities have been established by E.P.A. after

consultation with the Department and after review of existing

ambient air quality data.

The Plan was developed irrespective of regional delineations

or priorities since it is the policy of the Department to

provide all people of the State with the same degree of protection.

The maintenance of this policy was assured by the evaluation

of the control strategy using computer modeling techniques

for the most populated and indu~trialized area of the State.

This strategy, based upon timely selected application of the

authorities contained within the Arkansas Air Pollution Control

Code, was shown to be capable of attaining the national ambient

air quality standards within three years in said area. Thus

the attainment in the remaining areas of the State is assured.

420.16 PREVENTION OF AIR PO~LUTION E~mRGENCY EPISODES

In accordance with the provisions of Section 42 C.F.R.

420.16 (f), the Department considers, and so submits, the

applicable provisions of this section as interim actions

which will be taken during episode conditions. It will,

prior to August 30, 1972, further evaluate these procedures

with respect to need and effectiveness. Revisions shown

to be necessary through this review or through consultations

with EPA officials shall be accomplished and submitted to

EPA prior to January 30, 1973.

This Section of the Plan contains a description of the

procedures which will be utilized by the Department to prevent

ambient pollutant concentrations in any area of the State from

reaching levels which would constitute imminent and substantial

endangerment to persons located in such areas. Such levels

could occur as a result of (1) one or more uncontrolled sources

irrespective of meteorological conditions, (2) industrial or

transportation accidents, and (3) meteorological conditions

Which, from time to time, cause pollutants to be concentrated

in the lower levels of the atmosphere rather than being dispersed

and/or diluted as under "normal conditions." Procedures applicable

to the first two situations are described in Part I of this

Section. Procedures applicable to the third situation are

described in Part II.

PART I

Generally, emergency episode procedures (EEP) are directed

to the control of adverse conditions existing throughout an

area rather than conditions of a localized nature which are

caused by uncontrolled sources of a limited number. Procedures

for the prevention and control of these localized conditions

will not be specifically defined in this Section, since procedures

outlined in other sections of the Plan are directly applicable

to this problem.

Although the EEP are primarily directed to the control

and prevention of area-wide air pollution episodes which result

from a mUltiplicity of factors (emission densities, source

strenghts, topography, meteorolog:', for example), the Department

intends to use the basic mechanisms as described in Part II

of this Section in cases of air pollution, \1hether localized

or area-wide, which result from transportation accidents or

on-site industrial accidents. Department activities, as they

relate to air pollution resulting from such accidents, are

described below:

The Department has established communication procedures

with the Arkansas State Police (ASP) and the Arkansas Civil

Defense Emergency operations Center (CDEOC) at Conway by which
-2-

Department personnel will be promptly notified in case of accidents

involving the transportation (air, water, rails, highways,

and pipelines) of materials which by the nature of such accident

could cause the release of air contaminants into the atmosphere.

The Department would also be notified in the event of industrial

accidents of similar nature. Exnerience has demonstrated the

necessity of receiving the notification as quickly as possible.

Even if the information is preliminary or inconclusive, the

advanced notice serves to alert the appropriate staff members.

Subsequent information may deactivate the alert or may justify

further Departmental interest. In such cases, staff members

may be dispatched to the site of the accident to accruire more

detailed information relative to the quantity and nature of

materials which are being released to the atmosphere or which

may be reasonably expected to be so released. In some cases

short term sampling may be indicated.

~e Department's role in such activities is conceived

to be that of providing technical assistance to the person

in charge at the site of the accident and to insure that environmental effects resulting from such accidents are minimized.

Communications from the Department to the public during such

episodes would be thorough procedures established and maintained

by the CDEOC. Normally, there is no need for such comminications

since, under these conditions, the Department's communications

would be limited to exchange of technical information by appropriate

personnel of the Department and the ASP, CDEOC or owners or

operators of the equipment which is involved in the accident.

This information may relate to (1) quantity and nature of materials

involved in the accident, (2) immediate and secondary hazards,

(3) projected downwind ambient concentrations derived through

dispersion analyses, and (4) clean-up procedures.

Bcesently, the Department's activities relative to accident

related air pollution episodes are rather informal. These

procedures will become more definitive and effective in the

near future because of the acquistion of (1) mobile radios,

(2) more detailed information relative to the materials being

manufactured, processed, or transported in the State and (3)

dispersion models, using computer techniques, which will be

used for purposes of developing specific intradepartmental guidelines.

PART II

Part I of this Section contains brief descriptions of the

procedures used by the Department to prevent detrimental effects

of air pollution resulting from industrial and transportation

accidents. Reference was also made therein to other portions of

the Plan which describe the application of the necessary controls

in situations where significant deteriorations of air quality

can occur in the immediate vicinity of an uncontrolled or

inadequately controlled source. Procedures described in this

part are therefore directed to the prevention of air pOllution

episodes which are caused by meterological conditions which

tend to prevent normal dispersion of air contaminants.
-3-

1·leteorological conditions which create an episode in one

area of the State could have little, if any, effect in other

less industrial and populated areas. As more sources come

into compliance, the probability of such episode occurrences,

even in the most industrialized areas, will approach a minimum.

Thereafter, as these areas become more populated and as the

areas undergo more industrialization (even though well-controlled),

the probability of episodes due to meteorological conditions

will increase. At such time the Department may wish to alter

the basic control strategies and/or EEP as described herein.

Since the objective of the EEP is to prevent concentrations

of pollutants from reaching levels which wduld constitute imminent

and substantial danger to persons located in areas so affected,

control actions must be based upon atmospheric conditions and/or

upon measured ambient air concentrations. Exhibit 420.16-

1 describes four stages of episode criteria: Forecast, Alert,

Warning and Emergency. Departmental activities will be based

upon these stages and are described below.

ABATEMENT STRATEGIES

General abatement strategies are described below. Because of

the general nature of these strategies, there would be some

application to the procedures in Part I of this Section. More

specific abatement strategies are contained and described in

Exhibit 420.16-5. Any of the activities for which curtailment

is required and which do not complv herewith are subject to

immediate enforcement under authority of Section 82 Ark.Stats.

1906(c).

with respect to Departmental actions related to Parts I and

II of this Section, it shall be the responsibility of the

Director, upon finding that any of the EEP criteria have been

met, to declare such findings and to initiate appropriate

actions which will cause the implementation of any of the

control strategies. This responsibility may be delegated to

another staff member by the Director, with concurrence of the

Commission.

The provisions of 42 C.F.R. 420.16 (c) require

the submittal of specific abatement strategies for sources

emitting over 100 tons/year in Priority I regions. Crittenden

County, the only Priority I region in the State, has three

such sources according to emission inventories. Since this

data was derived through estimating techniques and since the

estimated source strengths do not correspond to visual observations,

stack sampling will be accomplished to verify these results.

If the sampling data indicates emissions in excess of 100 tons/day

for these sources, the Department shall develop abatement

strategies which will be in effect and submitted to EPA prior

to January 30, 1973. In the interim, these sources will be

contacted for purposes of operations curtailment commensurate with
-4-

•

EEP stage, should such stage occur. Although not required by

Federal regulations, the Department will, as it deems necessary,

develop and place into effect EEP abatement strategies which would

be applicable to those sources in the State.

Forecast: Upon receipt of an Air Stagnation Advisory

(ASA), operators of the monitoring stations will be advised

to conduct specified sampling. Such sampling directives

shall be commensurate with the information contained within

the ASA. Sampling will continue until the conditions precipitating the ASA have dissipated. Provisions are in effect

to assure prompt analysis and evaluation of sampling data, to

update ASA information at least every 12 hoprs, and to provide

for concentrated source inspections during all stages of

emergency episodes. Additionally, air pollution control

agencies in States adjoining any area under forecast conditions

will be advised.

Alert: Upon finding that concentrations of pollutants

have reached the alert stage as prescribed in the episode

criteria (Exhibit 420.16-1), all personnel of the Division

of Air Pollution Control I~ill be placed upon a 24-hour

operational status for purposes of concentrated sampling in

the affected area(s) and increased enforcement activities.

The Director, in accordance with the provisions of Subsection

5(d) (2) and Section 17 of the Air Code, will make public

announcement noting the area in which concentrations of pollutants

have reached the Alert Stage and that open burning operations

exempted by Subsections 5(c) (2), (3), (5), (7), & (8) of the Air Code

will be prohibited until the termination of the episode. This

message will be transmitted through the CD-EOC to HAWAS Warning

Points for distribution to affected local political jurisdictions.

After a one-hour delay, the message will also be distributed to the

news media by Department personnel.

Warning: Upon findings that concentrations of pollutants

have reached the Warning Stage as prescribed in The Episode

Criteria (Exhibit 420.16-1), the Director shall make a public

announcement noting the area in which such levels have been reached.

The message shall warn citizens in the area to minimize strenuous

outdoor activities and, if possible, to stay indoors. Owners

and operators of sources which, in the opinion of the Department,

are substantial contributors to the problem will be asked to defer

operations which are not absolutely ~ecessary. Non-complying

equipment shall be shut dOlffl or otherwise come into immediate compliance. Owners and operators of fuel burning equipment shall

use natural gas or No.2 fuel oil where possible. Citizens shall

be asked to minimize energy consumption in every possible manner.

All incineration, except that necessary for disposal of explosive

or pathological waste, shall be curtailed until the episode condition passes.
-5-

Emergency: Once concentrations have exceeded this

level, the Director shall make a public announcement advising

that a condition of imminent and substantial endangerment to

health exists and that all activities should be limited or

curtailed to every possible extent. Where possible hydro-electric

or nuclear power shall be used in place of power generated through

use of fossil-fuels. This will be a more definite possibility

after 1975. Use of motor vehicles, except for emergencies,

shall be curtailed. Should this condition persist for twelve

hours and appear to continue to persist for an additional twelve

hours or more the Governor will be asked to declare a state

of emergency. Such declaration shall bring to bear all the

emergency powers of the State to assure the protection of

the people.

Termination: Once declared, any status reached by application of the criteria of Exhibit 420.16-1 shall remain

in effect until the criteria for that level are no longer met.

At such time, the next lower status shall be assumed.

Note: Specific abatement strategies will be developed and

submitted to EPA as amendments to the Plan pursuant to the

provisions of 42 C.F.R. 420.16(c)(2).

RESPONSIBILITIES M~D AUTHORITY

An emergency episode requires two interrelated group

actions. One is concerned with activities within the

Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology, while

the second relates to the interactions between the DPCE

and others such as the State Civil Defense Emergency Operating Center (EOC), other governmental agencies, sources of

pollution, the public and the news media. To correlate

these elements, it is the responsibility and authority of

DPCE to:

A.

B.

C.

D.

Determine the boundaries of the affected area,

Establish the lines of communication to inform

individuals and organizations required to take

action,

Assemble the available emission source information

to define the situation,

Provide for news releases for public notification.

COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

The ability to initiate and coordinate actions during an

Emergency Episode is of prime im~ortance. Communication links

and procedures are the elements necessary to implement:

1. The coordination and actions in the operational

aspects of the EEP plan,

2. The transmission of status reports and control

actions to the public, PUblic-officials, major

emission sources, appropriate governmental

agencies, and the news media.
-6-

A. During an Air Pollution Episode, DPCE will

establish by telephone or by special messenger,

if required, communication links to State and

Local Officials. See Exhibit 420.16-2 for List

For Notification of Emergency Air Pollution

Episode. A telephonic link will be established

with the State civil Defense EOC in Conway, and

with the news media. Routine and special meteorological data will be obtained by telephone or messenger

from the National Weather Station at Adams Field

(Little Rock).

B. The State civil Defense Emergency Operating

Center (CD-EOC) in Conway is the prime communications

link for dissemination of air pollution emergency

information. The CD-EOC commuhication. system with

dedicated telephone lines and teletype to their

NAWAS warning Points will be utilized. The CD-EOC

will send keyed messages, upon notification by DPCE,

to the designated Warning Points. DPCE will

formulate the appropriate message as applicable

to the episode. The NAWAS Warning Point will send the

identified keyed message to the single point contacts

in the local political jurisdictions, i.e., counties,

by telephone or radio. Exhibit 420.16-3 is a map of

the message fan-out scheme. The political

jurisdictions as identified in Exhibit 420.16-2 will

have copies of this Plan and/or the standard

messages prepositioned at their communication

receiving point. DPCE communication to agencies

and personnel actively participating in the

emergency will be conducted over standard telephone

lines.

Exhibit 420.16-4 contains a list of persons and/or agencies

which are to receive keyed messages. This list will be kept

accurate and current and will be released upon request--minus

telephone numbers (some numbers so listed in this Exhibit are

"unlisted numbers"). Exhibit 420.16-5 contains keyed

messages and explains the addresses for receipt of the messages.

This Section including all Exhibits will be distributed to all

appropriate persons prior to April 1, 1972.
