### MS. OLSON: My name is Dana L. Olson. 0-L-S-0-N. I'm here 8 today as an expert witness and I am regarded

-- given testimony 9 at· the college level. What I am concerned about is that DEC has 10 

### never quite comprehended the biological aspect of air quality. 11 And one of the things that was lectured at college level is that 12 even the dandelion seed capsule goes high up in the atmosphere. 13 And if 

### dandelion seeds can be up there with other par-ticular matters, the activities on land cannot be totally disregarded 15 under some series of economic prosperity for ·the State. 16 There are Federal Home Stats and there are other land rights out 17 there that can not .be ignored. 18 Today I would like to talk a little bit about the fact that 19 Carbon Dioxide is quite often thought of as beneficial to 20 

### plants. However I gave expert witness testi'mony in my lecture 21 to say that I am so an expert and I claim that bacteria works 22 with the soil fungus called Mikoriza. It enhances Mikoriza**~-** 

### 23 that quite often that plants are seen to be thriving. It is not 24 because of the carbon dioxide. It is because of the inner 25 relations of the soils. Now. what happens is air emissions do

I<HON ASH()CINt'8S ll.l3 N.**l''in~weed** Lw1c,**,<;uitr.:~** ;::oo At\chorage, Alcwka 99503 (907) 2'16··)55<15 l 

### reach ground and they are detrimental upon living organisms. 2 

### For example, a recent health book that I read, claimed 3 that exposure to lead or emissions of lead, could actually 4 create obesity. So air emissions do strange things to bodies
s just like they do to the soil world. One -of the things I am 6 concerned about is that DEC has no Biologist. In fact, the only 7 

### thing it could rely on is the University. And in the class that 

### B I lectured, the Professor came in and told me that she was 9 interested in having her students address some of my topics that 10 I lectured on. 11 So I don't think simply writing a plan and writing an 12 Administrative Code is going to address Global Warming. For 13 example, I have a standing to say that the Global Warming is 14 

### based on a mathematical formula. And when I lectured at the 15 college level, I said that science is quite often
-- is so busy 16 

### with the reasoning that they don't actually stop to use visual 1'7 capacity and that quite often the fallacy is that you don't 18 understand what your premises

-- and what your arguments are. 19 I have worked with soils and I have been recognized up at 20 the Supreme Court and I have lectured at college level. I've 21 lectured before business industry and what not. ·One of the 22 things I would like to remind DEC of is that the oil industry 23 went in and recognized that air emissions interfered with the 24 pollination of grasses. And they have never come back and 25 disclaimed that fact.

HEIL: Whoever put their phone on hold, take their 3 phone off hold. Otherwise I am going to have to disconnect this 4 phone call so that this witness can finish testifying. There 5 you go, go ahead. 6 MS. OLSON: Sorry. One of the things I would like to 7 address is the fact that we have emissions that are 8 traditionally around the coast. And when Congress went in and 9 said that they found commerce a Federal issue, it couldn't very 10 well be part of the Global Warming. Because in the class that I 11 am taking at the University

-- is an academic report on Global 12 Warming that I had to type. And it talks about the fact that by 13 1850 the glaciers had receded in Alaska and when Congress went in and used its commerce for Federal home stats for agriculture, 15 it couldn't be-- very well be expected to be arguing about 16 mining if it's promoting fertile soil. 17 So that affects a lot of things, such as right of-ways and 18 a whole bunch of interesting land use issues. So I would say 19 that being both a Montana soil expert and an Alaska soil expert,· 20 I wouldn't think that an Administrative Agency could prove any 21 corridors between countries or states or anything else till they 22 come to some consistency with their understanding of soil life 23 and how air is very necessary. For example, air is necessary to 24 lower a person's blood pressure and I have had to come under 25 parameter of blood pressure monitoring and what not. And I just

### 1 can't justify all that Mat-su Borough growth out there. 2 I can't justify infrastructure before we decide how much 3 development we are going to have along the coast. I can't 4 support an administration that won't take the stand to limit 5 growth, I mean, how can we go in and argue Global Warming when 6 Alaska won't even limit its growth along the Mat-Su corridor? 7 

### In fact, it wants to create more highways for more air emissions 8 and what not and more factories and more uses and what not. 9 Technically, unless we can come up with a way to address 10 that, the fact that in Montana there are understandings through 11 a State NEPA program and then in Alaska we use the courts to 12 make State NEPA's. I don't see how Alaska can be participating 13 with any project that EPA may have. Because EPA itself cannot 14

### MS. HEIL: Okay, thank you very much for your comments. 18 

### MS. OLSON: Well yes, but let me get my closing statement. 19 

### MS. HEIL: Okay. 20 

### MS. OLSON: But anyway -- what I would like DEC to do is 21 give me a -- what do you call it? A reviewability of their 22 Administrative Code, their milestones and how they have reduced 23 air emissions and what the effects were. Because until they do 24 that, they really haven't done anything. And I have left my 25 email address. And if DEC can provide me with that, where they**!~RON** ASSOCir\'I'Ef.:i 1113 w.

### MS. OLSON: Sorry, I have been up all night. And when I 11

### while that issue of Arctic oil and gas is up at the UN, 

### I just 15 wanted to say that the UN recognizes the right of the individual 16 not just the right of the States and that means countries. 17 And that my Grandmother's succession to the crown of 18 Denmark and she married a Canadian Indian. And I own my own oil 19 and gas rights in Alaska. 

### And that Alaska Supreme Court 20 actually denied a former DNR employee when he tried to claim it. 21 And so I have met people who are actually out on ships using 22 sonar to measure it. So I wanted to say that DEC's adoption of 23 the Administrative Code would be a violation of the 14'" 24 Amendment unless they have a standard of which they would review 25 their interest with mine.

Amendments to State Air Quality Control Plan, Volume 

### II, Section III.D. Particulate Matter Subpart D.l Overview, a new section to be inserted after section D.l.V: VI. PROVISIONS PROHIBITING REGIONAL TRANSPORT OF AIRPOLLUTANTS Pursuant to the requirements ofthe 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments, Sections l!O(a)(2)(D)(i) (I)&(II), Alaska's State Implementation Plan (SIP)musi"contain adequate provision prohibiting
...any source or other type ofemissions activity within the State from emitting any airpollutant in amounts which willI. contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by, any other

State with**r~spect** to any such national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard; or II. interfere with measures required to be included in the applicable implementation plan for any other State
... to prevent significant deterioration ofair quality or to protectvisibility. Alaska meets the requirements ofCAA Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)&(II) as follows: I.A. Alaska does not contribute to nonattainment in any other State with respect to the 2006 24-hour and annual PM-2.5 and 2008 8-hom· ozone primary or secondary national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). This statement is based on the following information:
• Alaska is not subject to the "Rule to Reduce Interstate Transport ofFine Particulate

Matter and Ozone" (Interstate Air QualityRule); see 69 FR4566, January 30, 2004;
• Anthropogenic emissions ofmost air pollutants in Alaska are relatively small compared

to non-anthropogenic emissions (natural wildfires). Table 1, below, presents Alaska's total airpollutant emissions (tons/year) by source sector and pollutant for the calendar year 2002. Thepercentage ofanthropogenic emissions, defined as emissions from all sectors except natural fires divided by total emissions, is also shown at the bottom of each column. As shown in Table 1, the predominant source ofmost air pollutants 

### in Alaska is natural wildfires. Anthropogenic sources ofPM-2.5 comprised only 6.6% of the total, statewide fine particulate emissions. With regards to PM-2.5 and ozone precursors, anthropogenic sources ofNOx comprised47.9% ofthe total, statewide NOx emissions; while anthropogenic sources ofSOx comprised 29.5% ofthe total, statewide SOx emissions in 2002. Excluding natunil wildfires, area sources are the dominant source ofPM-2.5, PM-10 and hydrocarbons; while point sources are the dominant source ofNOx, SOx and ammonia in Alaska.Adopted February 11

Alaska does notinterfere with measures required to be included in the applicable implementationplan for any other State
... to prevent significant deterioration ofair quality. This statement is based on the following information:

•Alaska has a f11lly approved PSD/NSRprogram originally approved on February 16,

1995 (60 FR 8943), and mostrecently approved on August 14,2007 (72 FR45378).
