Dear~~ On February 4, 1993, Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Chuck 

Clarke submitted changes to Vennont' s SIP to meet requirements of the Clean Air Act 

Amendments of 1990. The submittal included regulations which had already been adopted 

at the state level and which had been through public hearing previously but not incorporated 

into the SIP, as well as newly proposed regulations and SIP Narrative changes to meet other 

requirements of the amended Act. On March 17, 1993, EPA submitted comments for the 

public hearing record on those portions of the submittal which dealt with regulatory changes 

and SIP Narrative changes being proposed by Vennont and for which a public hearing was 

scheduled on March 10~ 1993 with comment period extending until March 17, 1993. On 

May 21, 1993, the Agency forwarded a detailed response to EPA's comments describing 

the way in which the state intended to address each one. 

At the time of the submittal in February, we had requested that the proposed rules 

be parallel processed, which due to the nature of the deficiencies identified in EPA's 

comments, EPA declined to initiate. The materials enclosed are the proposed rules which 

were subsequently amended to address public· comment. ·These have completed the state 

adoption process and will become effective regulations on August 13, 1993. The SIP 

Narrative enclosed has been through public hearing on March 10, 1993 and has had changes 

incorporated in response to EPA's comments on March 17, 1993. Together these materials 

address the deficiencies identified in EPA's comments and should be considered along with 

the other adopted regulations previously submitted on February 4 as the complete SIP 

submittal to address Clean Air Act requirements related to emission statements, control of 

volatile organic compounds (VOCs), control of nitrogen oxide (NOJ emissions, and review

Background Discussion: 

The public involvement process related to the adopted rules being submitted with this SIP 

revision package included a public hearing held on March 10, 1993. Comments received 

through March 17, 1993 were fully considered in developing these adopted rules. The hearing 

was for rules related to the control of sources of volatile organic compounds, the control of 

nitrogen oxides, and revised rules for the review of major stationary sources and major 

modifications. An earlier SIP revision package submitted under cover letter dated February 4, 

1993, had requested that the rules being submitted now be parallel processed and had included 

proposed versions of them. That request was denied and this package now submits the adopted 

version of the rules which were amended from their proposed version in response to the public 

hearing and comment process at the state level. The earlier SIP package also had contained 

a set of previously adopted rules to meet other RACT .and CTG requirements as well as 

requirements for "Emission Statements". This submittal does not change or alter the adopted 

rules which had been submitted on February 4, 1993. 

Public involvement on the SIP Narrative changes being submitted with this SIP revision 

package has also been obtained through a public hearing held on March 10, 1993, and through 

comments received from EPA on March 17, 1993.

FOURTEEN THE TIMES ARGUS, BARRE-MONTPELIE.a 

. . PROPOSED CHANGES TO VERMONT STATE 

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 

FOR AIR QUALITY 

AIR POLLUTION 

AGENCY:.NATURAL RESOURCES 

CONCISE SUMMARY: On November 15, 1990 the federal Clean Air Act was 

amended to require further action by states, including Vermont, to attain national 

air quality standards for ozone.AlthouQh Vermont does not have violations of any 

national ambient air quality standard at the present time, the Clean Air Act 

Amendments require regionally consistent programs to address the non-attain· • ment .status for ozone which does exist in most major urban areas of the 

northeast. The Act established the Northeast Ozone Transport Region which 

includes all of the New England states as well as New York, New Jersey, · Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. It mandates certain uniform application 

: of control strategies in this Region; regardless of the actual designated status of 

any particular state. A number of the regulatory changes required of Vermont 

were proposed on July 23, 1992 and adopted after public hearing held on August 

25, 1992. Additional regulatory changes are being proposed today through public 

notice appearing elsewhere in this newspaper. The hearing for those additional 

· regulatory changes is discussed in that public notice. In addition to the regula-

' tions being proposed for hearing, changes to thfl narrative portion of the State 

. Implementation Plan are also being proposed today. 

The State Implementation Plan is comprised of the set of federally enforceable 

• state regulations which are. included in it, as well as the narrative discussion of 

how these regulations will be implemented. This notice serves to announce the 

availability of the proposed narrative.language changes which are necessary for 

compliance with requirements of the federal Clean Air Act· Amendments of 1990. . In summary, the particular narrative changes being proposed at this time 

· include discussion of the following: · 

. . 1. The way that Vermont's plan will address the requirement for major station-

, ary sources of .volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides to submit annual "emission statements•. The emission statement requirement is proposed to be 

• met through the already adopted regulation which requires a stationary source of • any air contaminant in Vermont to register annually if it emits more than 5 tons 

. annually .of all air contaminants in total. 

2. How the plan will interpret and implement the requirements for emission offsets from newly proposed very large(> 100 tons per year) sources of nitrogen 

oxides. · 

3. How the plan will implement a program to apply reasonably available control 

technology (RACT) to existing large ( > 50 tons per year) sources of volatile organic compounds and to existing large ( > 100 tons per year) sources of nitrogen 

oxides. · 

4. Updated ambient air quality data collected for the five criteria air pollutants 

covered by programs implemented under the federal Clean Air Act. 

5. ·Draft" mobile so..irce emission inventories developed for the year 1990 

which will serve as a major portion of the ·baseyear" ozone-related pollutant 

emissions inventories. A baseyear (1990) emission inventory covering all categoi ries of sources of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, and carbon 

' monoxide is being developed for use in regional air quality modeling to be con- • ducted for purposes of attainment demonstrations in other parts of the Northeasl 

Ozone Transport Region. This draft·mobile source portiQn of the inventory will be · further refined during the next few months and eventually Incorporated with •sta-

. tionary point source· and ·general area source~inventory data to comprise a formal revision of the plan narrative to be submitted to EPA prior to November 15, . .. 1993. 

AVAILABILITY FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION: The proposed changes to the State

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REGULATIONS 

CHAPTER 5 

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL 

Subchapter I. Definitions 

§5-101 

"Emission Reduction Credit" or "ERC" means the certified guantity of an emission reduction 

from a source that may be stored or used as described in Section 5-502. 

"Federally Enforceable" means all limitations and conditions which are enforceable by the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. whether contained in federal regulations. a state 

implementation plan. or con~tru tion or operating permits. 

"Most Stringent Emission Rate CMSER)" means a rate of emissions which the Secretary. on a 

case-by-case basis. determines is achievable for a source based on the lowest emission rate 

achieved in practice by such category of source. unless the source demonstrates it cannot 

achieve such a rate due to economic impacts and costs. Costs of achievement of MSER will 

be accorded less weight for sources or modifications locating in non-attainment areas than for 

sources or modifications locating in attainment areas for the applicable air contaminant. . In 

no event shall application of MSER result in emissions of any contaminants in excess of any 

Federal emission standard or any emission standard contained in these regulations. 

If the Secretary determines that imposition of an emission standard is infeasible. a design. 

equipment. work practice or operational standard. or combination thereof. may be prescribed 

instead as constituting MSER. 

"Permanent". in reference to emission re<luctions. means that the emission reduction is 

assured for the life of the corresponding emission increase. The permanence of the subject 

reduction shall be guaranteed through an enforceable permit limitation confirming the amount 

and duration of the decrease. or other enforceable mechanism (e.g .. permanently dismantling 

and removing the emissions source. surrendering the permit. etc.). 

"Quantifiable". in reference to emission reductions. means that the amount. rate and 

characteristics of the emission reduction can be determined through an accurate and reliable 

method (e.g .. through emissions tests. continuous emissions monitoring. material balance. 

etc.)
