## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Significant progress continues to be made in reducing carbon monoxide (CO) levels across

Allegheny County, including the Central Business District (CBD). The CBD is defined as the

area enclosed by the Allegheny River, the Monongahela River, and I

- 579. Cleaner cars,

equipment and fuels have reduced CO levels despite increases in vehicle miles traveled.

The two primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for CO are 9 parts per

million (ppm) averaged over an 8

- hour period, not to be exceeded more than once per year a t

each site, and 35 ppm averaged over a 1

- hour period. The last time the 8

- hour standard was not

met in Allegheny County was in 1987 when a reading of 13.5 ppm was recorded. Exceeding t he

1

- hour average standard is not likely to occur in Allegheny County given reduction in emissions

from vehicular traffic . Air quality levels in Allegheny County have not exceeded the 1

- hour

standard since 1980, and have been below 15 ppm since 1988.

Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) submitted a State Implementa tion Plan (SIP)

revision for CO under the limited maintenance plan option 2 

## . In that analysis, each redesignation

criterion in Section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act ) is listed, along with a

short description of the guidance provided by Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) 1



## , 2 

## in

relation to that criterion, and the justification that supports the request for redesignation to

attainment. Significantly, since the area is “not classified,” and has a design value below 7.65

ppm

, or 85 percen t of the CO NAAQS , the County used EPA’s “Limited Maintenance Plan

Option” in addressing Section 107(d)(3)(E)(iv). Additionally, because the area is “not

classified,” the SIP submittal requirements of the CAA, Section 187, do not apply. The CBD

was desi gnated CO attainment status with an effective date of January 13, 2003.

ACHD is submitting a SIP revision to the EPA to revise the Carbon Monoxide Limited

Maintenance Plan in accordance with Section 107(d) of the CAA to ensure maintenance of the

NAAQS in the CBD of Allegheny County for a second ten

- year period through year 2022. This

ten

- year plan maintains existing controls and contingency provisions, and succe ed s the previous

plan approved by the EPA in 2003. CO levels are expected to remain well below the NAAQS

for the ten

- year period ending 2022.

## I. Introduction

The Central Business District (CBD) of Allegheny County was designated as CO nonattainment

area “not classified” at the time of enactment of the CAA and remained as nonattainment areas

by opera tion of law. 3 

## Based upon criteria established in the Act, the EPA delineated each

nonattainment area and classified it using air monitoring data from 1988 and 1989. 4 

## As a result

of this delineation process, in Allegheny County, the “high traffic density areas within the CBD

and certain other high traffic density areas” (of the Pittsburgh area) were designated

nonattainment

- not classifiable. The CBD is defined as the area enclosed by the Allegheny

River, the Monongahela River, and I

- 579 ; w hile “other hi gh traffic density areas” describes what

is considered the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

In keeping with federal, state and local requirements, Allegheny County Health Department

(ACHD) addresses the air quality issues within the CBD. Failure to me et the requirements of the

Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act ) can result in economic sanctions and/or civil lawsuits.

The 2001 CO Limited Maintenance Plan for the CBD of Allegheny County showed how the

region would continue to attain the standard through 2013. The continuous downward trend in

CO monitor readings in the CBD has demonstrated these improvements can be attributed to

permanent, enforceable reductions of CO emissions despite growth in vehicle miles traveled.

These reductions are largely achiev ed through more stringent federal controls on vehicles and

fuels, and state and local measures in the CO Limited Maintenance Plan.

The CAA requires that a second SIP revision be submitted within eight years of redesignation to

demonstrate that the area wi ll maintain the standard for another ten years. This update must

comply with the Act’s requirements in section 175(A) for maintenance plans, by including:

Air quality data that demonstrate the area continues to be in attainment

On

- road mobile source emis sions forecasts

Continued air monitoring to verify the attainment status of the region

Contingency emission reduction measures that decrease CO emissions, as necessary

after a trigger event

## II. Limited Maintenance Plan Option

The “Limited Maintenance Plan Option for Nonclassifiable CO Nonattainment Areas” EPA

guidance document from Joseph Paisie, Oct. 6, 1995 lists the core requirements for this plan as

follows:

Attainment Inventory

The State (County) should develop an attainment emissions inventory to identify a level of

emissions in the area which is sufficient to attain the CO NAAQS. This inventory should be

consistent with EPA’s most recent guidance on emissi ons inventories for nonattainment areas

available at the time and should represent emissions during the time period associated with the

monitoring data showing attainment. The inventory should be based on actual “typical winter

day” emissions of CO.

Main tenance Demonstration

The maintenance demonstration requirement is considered to be satisfied if the monitoring data

show that the area is meeting the air quality criteria for limited maintenance areas (7.65 ppm or

85 percent of the CO NAAQS). There is no requirement to project emissions over the

maintenance period. The EPA believes if the area begins the maintenance period at or below 85

percent of the exceedance levels, the air quality

, along with the continued applicability of

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements, and any control measures already in

the SIP and Federal measures, should provide adequate assurance of maintenance over the initial

ten

- year maintenance period. When EPA approves a limited maintenance plan, EPA is

conclu ding that an emissions budget may be treated as essentially not constraining for the length

of the maintenance period, because it is unreasonable to expect that such an area will experience

much growth in that period that a violation of the CO NAAQS would result.

Monitoring Network and Verification of Continued Attainment

To verify the attainment status of the area over the maintenance period, the maintenance plan

should contain provisions for continued operation of an appropriate, EPA

- approved air quality

monitoring network, in accordance with 40 CFR part 58. This is particularly important for areas

using a limited maintenance plan, because there is no cap on emissions.

Contingency Plan

Section 175(A) of the CAA requires that a maintenance plan include contingency provisions, as

necessary, to promptly correct any violation of the NAAQS that occurs after redesignation of the

area. These contingency measures do not have to be fully adopted at the time of redesignation.

However, the contingency plan is considered to be an enforceable part of the SIP and should

ensure that the contingency measures are adopted expeditiously once they are triggered by a

specified event. The contingency plan s hould identify the measures to be promptly adopted and

provide a schedule and procedure for adoption and implementation of the measures. The state

also should identify specific indicators, or triggers, which will be used to determine when the

contingency measures need to be implemented. While a violation of the NAAQS is an

acceptable trigger, states may wish to choose a pre

- violation action level as a trigger, such as an

exceedance of the NAAQS. By taking early action, a state may be able to prevent any actual

### Page 8



## violation of the NAAQS, therefore eliminating any need on the part of the EPA to redesignate an

area back to nonattainment.

Conformity Determinations under the Limited Maintenance Plan

The transportation conformity rule and the general conformity r ule apply to nonattainment areas

and maintenance areas operating under the maintenance plans. Under either rule, one means of

demonstrating conformity of federal actions is to indicate that expected emissions from planned

actions are consistent with the e missions budget for the area. Emission budgets in limited

maintenance plan areas may be treated as essentially not constraining for the length of the initial

maintenance period, because it is unreasonable to expect that such an area will experience so

muc h growth in that period that a violation of the CO NAAQS would result. In other words,

EPA would be concluding that emissions need not be capped for the maintenance period.

Therefore, in areas with approved limited maintenance plans, federal actions requ iring

conformity determinations under the transportation conformity rule could be considered to

satisfy the “budget test” required in the conformity rule.

## III. Attainment Emissions Inventory and Mobile Source Control Measures

The dominant source of CO emissions is from on

- road motor vehicles. Other contributing

sources include nonroad mobile emissions, which include lawn and garden equipment and

construction equipment, as well as area and point sources such as wood burning and cement

production. Altho ugh CO emissions are also the result of point, area, and nonroad sources, the

CO inventory only includes emissions from on

- road (highway) sources, since motor vehicles are

still the primary source in the CBD. Finally, note that the data is representative of the “typical

winter day,” and was modeled with MOVES2010 5 

## . Table 1 illustrates the CO emissions for a

typical winter day in 2013 and Table 2 illustrates the CO emissions for a typical winter day in

2022.

As C O emissions have decreased over the last decade so have the monitored levels of CO. The

Maintenance Demonstration has graphical evidence of the decreasing CO levels since 1988.

### Page 11 

## IV. Maintenance Demonstration

The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) monitors ambient CO concentrations at Flag

Plaza. ACHD used to monitor the ambient CO concentration at the Gateway Center Subway

Entrance (Point), but th e monitor was remove d in May 2000 due to construction in that area.

The 1

- hour NAAQS for CO is 35 ppm . The NAAQS has not been violated in the C BD since

1980, and has been below 15 ppm since 1988. The 8

- hour NAAQS for CO is currently set at 9

ppm, not to be exceeded more th an once per year at each site. Observation of the second highest

8

- hour concentration is an indicator of the region’s proximity to violating the standard. The data

presented in Figures 1

- 3 include the maximum and second highest non

- overlapping 8

- hour

ave rages for the monitor stations from 1988 through 2009 in the CBD. The highest 8

- hour

average CO concentration measured was 8.6 ppm at the Oakland monitor in 1988. The highest

8

- hour average CO concentration measured since 2000 was 3.7 ppm at the F orbes A venue at

Grant Street (Courthouse) in 2007. The 8

- hour standard was last violated in 1987 and no 8

- hour

average CO concentration above the 85 percent of the NAAQS or 7.65 ppm has been recorded at

any monitoring station since 1994.

ACHD operates and maintains a CO monitoring network which me e t s the requirements of 40

CFR Parts 53 and 58.

Name AIRS Monitor ID Site ID

F orbes Avenue at Grant Street (Courthouse) 420030038421011 0038

Air quality measurements used in this analysis were performed in accordance with the

appropriate regulations and guidance documents including adherence to EPA quality assuran ce

requirements. Monitoring procedures were determined in accordance with 40 CFR Part 58. The

CO monitoring instruments send the information to the Allegheny County Health Department’s

computer system at the Air Quality Program building at 301 39th Stree t.

The CO monitor at the Oakland 4 site was terminated in October 1997. The CO monitor at the

Gateway Center Subway Entrance (Point) was taken out of service by the ACHD in May 2000 to

accommodate local construction work. With permission of EPA, ACHD ha s since decided to

permanently remove the monitor from this location and relocate at Flag Plaza near the Civic

Arena. In this location it will function as a population based CO monitor. However, in keeping

with SIP requirements, ACHD will continue to ope rate the CO monitor at Forbes Avenue and

Grant Street. The monitor will be operated in accordance with 40 CFR Part 58 to verify

attainment status of the area and to indicate the need to establish contingency measures as

described in the contingency plan i ncluded as a part of this submittal.

Ambient CO concentrations continue to be low, currently at a third of the 8

- hour CO NAAQS.

With the emphasis on monitoring CO levels to indicate trigger events, the network provides data

representative of concentrat ions of CO in the ambient air and tracks maximum expected

concentrations.

### Page 15 

## VI. Contingency Plan

The contingency plan provides a procedure to prevent future violations and promptly correct any

violation of the CO NAAQS that occurs after the renewal of th e CO Limited Maintenance Plan

for another ten years. The contingency plan is considered to be a federally enforceable part of

the SIP. This contingency plan ensures that appropriate measures are implemented expeditiously

once they are triggered by a spec ific event. An event triggering the contingency plan is specified

at the CO NAAQS or 9.0 ppm to ensure that additional control measures are implemented before

a violation of the standard occurs or is imminent. This contingency plan identifies measures th at

can be promptly adopted and implemented by following the procedures specified below

.

Triggering Indicator

The following process is used to define the trigger indicator and to evaluate the need for

contingency measures to avoid any CO NAAQS violations. Allegheny County Health

Department will rely on quality assured air monitoring data in the CBD to track future

compliance and determine the need to establish then implement contingency measures. A

verified ambient CO level over the CO NAAQS or 9.0 ppm fo r an 8

- hour period must be

recorded at least twice at one monitor station during the CO season, November through

February, to be considered a triggering indicator. Using all the data available, ACHD staff will

make a determination and recommendation to im plement contingency measures to assure that the

CO NAAQS will not be violated.

Contingency Measures

In the event that a violation of the CO standard occurs at the Forbes Avenue and Grant Street

(Courthouse) monitor, a “vehicle idling restriction” will be implemented. This restriction will

limit the amount of time that a gasoline engine will be permitted to idle to five (5) minutes, with

appropriate exceptions (such as the need for heating and powering of refrigeration systems on

trucks, operation of emerg ency vehicles and vehicles that are motionless due to traffic conditions

beyond the operator’s control). The restriction on idling will be limited to the winter season,

November through February.

Such a measure will be implemented on the following schedu le once notification is received

from EPA that a contingency measure must be implemented, or three months after a recorded

violation:

a) Applicable “vehicle idling restriction” regulation to be adopted within 12 months.

b) Applicable regulation to be implement ed within 8 months after adoption.

### Page 16



## Alternative Contingency Measure

The Allegheny County Health Department reserves the right to petition the EPA , at any time, for

approval to establish an alternative contingency measure, or combination of measures, to t hat of

the “vehicle idling restriction,” subject to demonstrating to the satisfaction of the EP A that the

alternative measure(s) being proposed would provide an air quality and public health benefit

equal to or greater than that resulting from the implemen tation of the idling restriction described

above.

This contingency plan is consistent with that approved for the first ten

- year CO Limited

Maintenance Plan.

### Page 17 

## VII. Conformity Determination under the Limited Maintenance Plan

Under a limited maintenance pla n, continued timely implementation of transportation control

measures, consultation and maintenance of CO emissions below the NAAQS is required. With

an approved limited maintenance plan, it is presumed that ACHD has demonstrated that it would

be unreason able to expect a violation of the CO NAAQS from growth in vehicle emissions for

that period.

Evaluation of transportation conformity for transportation projects in Allegheny County is

performed by the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission and other agencie s. Such projects in

the county are eligible to take advantage of the reduced requirements under the limited

maintenance plan option for nonclassifiable CO nonattainment areas.

# INTRODUCTION

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) originally designated a portion of Allegheny

County as a carbon monoxide (CO) nonattainment area. The area is defined as the Pittsburgh central

business district (CBD) triangle bounded by the Allegheny River, the Monongahela River and I

- 579. In

addition, the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh was include d under the category of “other high traffic

density areas”.

Effective January 13, 2003, EPA approved the Allegheny County and Pennsylvania Department of

Environmental Protection (DEP) request and maintenance plan to redesignate the nonattainment area to

attainment of the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The maintenance plan provides

a county

- level emissions inventory for the 1990 and 1999 analysis years.

Per section 175A(b) of the Clean Air Act, eight years after the redesignation, a revised maintenance plan

must be submitted to EPA that demonstrates attainment for the 10 years following the initial 10

- year

period. This inventory supports that requirement and provides a CO emissions inventory for Allegheny

County for the 2013 and 20 22 analysis years.



# TOOLS AND METHODOLOGY

The CO emissions inventory for Allegheny County has been prepared using county

- specific weather,

vehicle fleet, fuel and traffic data. On March 2, 2010, EPA officially approved the MOVES2010

(referred herein as M OVES) emission model for use in the development of state implementation plans

(SIPs) and transportation conformity analyses. MOVES, which stands for Mo tor V ehicle E missions

S imulator, is the latest generation of highway vehicle emissions inventory models. It provides emission

factors based on local

- specific inputs. Per EPA’s Policy Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for State

Implementation Plan Development, Transportation Conformity, and Other Purposes, EPA

- 420

- B

- 09

- 046,

December 2009, EPA recommends that MOVES be used for SIP development as expeditiously as

possible. As a result, the MOVES emissions model has been used to produce the Allegheny CO mobile

source emissions inventory.

The Allegheny CO inventory utilizes the latest available planning assumpt ions and follows the same

analysis approach as used for other SIP inventories across the state, with the exception of the integration

of the MOVES emission model. This includes using a custom post processing software (PPSUITE) to

assist in processing Penn sylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) roadway traffic data and

applying the results produced by MOVES. PPSUITE has been used throughout Pennsylvania and other

states and has been updated to provide full integration capabilities with MOVES. In a ddition, the

CENTRAL software system is used as the process controller providing interactive menus and features to

execute the MOVES model in batch mode. MOVES is executed using run specification (MRS) files,

which facilitates running the model for multip le analysis years. Exhibit 1 summarizes the analysis tools

used for developing the inventory.

### Page 21 

## Exhibit 1 : Summary of Inventory Analysis Tools

Tool Purpose

MOVES2010 Produces emission factors for CO; apply emission

factors to VMT; produce emission quantities

PPSUITE Processes the highway data; calculates hourly

congested speeds for each state roadway segment;

prepares MOVES traffic

- related input files; processes

MOVES output files and prepares summary report

CENTRAL Provides framework to manage work tasks and

provide QA/QC features. Builds MOVES MRS files

based on user inputs and selections and executes

emission calculation process.

Exhibit 2 illustrates the analysis framework used for the inventory. PPSUITE is used to pr ocess

PennDOT traffic count data forecasted to future analysis years. The software calculates hourly congested

speeds for each roadway segment and prepares the key traffic

- related inputs to MOVES. Other MOVES

input data is prepared manually. This includ es inspection maintenance parameters, fuel characteristics,

vehicle age distributions, and meteorology data.

The MOVES model is executed in two steps. The first step imports the county

- specific data into the

MOVES MySQL databases. MySQL is a rel ational database system used by MOVES. The second step

executes MOVES to estimate and apply emission factors. MOVES was run in the “inventory” mode as

described in EPA’s Technical Guidance on the Use of MOVES2010 for Emission Inventory Preparation

( http://www.epa.gov/otaq/models/moves/index.htm 

## ). The inventory mode requires input vehicle miles of

travel (VMT) and vehicle population (e.g. number of vehicles in county), which the model uses to

calculate total emission quantities for the county.

MOVES produces emissions for defined road types internal to the model. These include:

Off

- Network

Rural Restri cted Access (e.g. freeway)

Rural Un

- Restricted Access (e.g. non

- freeway)

Urban Restricted Access

Urban Un

- Restricted Access

The off

- network category includes emissions not associated with the travel of the vehicle. This includes

engine start emissions, resting evaporative emissions and soak emissions when a vehicle is parked. The

remaining road type categories represent the emissions associated with vehicle operation on different road

classes based on the input speeds. These emissions include running e xhaust and crankcase running

exhaust emissions.

The PPSUITE software extracts the emission quantities from the MySQL databases and prepares

emission report files that can be used for tabulations.

# DATA ASSUMPTIONS

This section summarizes the key data sources and parameters used to produce the Allegheny County CO

emissions inventory for the 2013 and 2022 analysis years. The methodologies used to produce the

emission results conform to the recommendations provided in the EPA MOVES policy and technical

guidance documents referenced in the previous section. A mix of local data and national default (internal

to MOVES) data has been used for this submission. Loc al data has been used for the primary data items

that have a significant impact on emissions. These include:

VMT and speeds

Vehicle type mixes

Vehicle age distributions

Temperatures/humidity

Inspection/maintenance parameters

Fuel program characteristi cs



# Traffic Data

The PennDOT Roadway Management System (RMS) data serves as the primary highway data source for

the county and functional class VMT estimates. The data source is used to provide a “snapshot” of the

regional roadway system and volumes i n 2008. The data includes the average annual daily traffic

(AADT) volumes for all state roadways in Pennsylvania. The portion of travel on freeway ramps is

assumed to be 8% of the total freeway VMT, which is the internal MOVES national default value. To

account for additional local roadway VMT and to ensure consistency with reported HPMS totals, the

2008 VMT has been reconciled with the Allegheny County 2008 HPMS VMT totals reported to the

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

PPSUITE calculates congested speeds by hour of the day for each roadway segment and provides the

information as input to the MOVES software. To disaggregate the daily RMS volumes to hourly

volumes, auto and truck hourly pattern data from PennDOT’s 2008 Pennsylvania Traffic Data report are

used to determine the temporal variations of future year traffic volumes.

The Allegheny CO inventory is calculated for a typical January weekday. The daily and monthly

seasonal factors , used to adjust the AADT traffic volumes, are developed from data contained in the

document, 2008 Pennsylvania Traffic Data , as prepared by PennDOT’s Bureau of Planning and

Research. The seasonal and daily factors provided in this document are based on s tatistical analyses of

2008 traffic counts taken at permanent and in

- pavement automatic traffic recorder locations throughout

the state. The factors are used to adjust AADT volumes to an average January weekday, and the

PPSUITE software calculates unique congested speeds for each roadway segment.

Vehicle mix patterns are percentages used to split the total traffic volume into each of the vehicle types

required by the MOVES emission model. This input is important since the MOVES emission rates vary

sign ificantly by vehicle type. The vehicle mix percentages were calculated for each functional class

grouping in Allegheny County utilizing a combination of sources as illustrated in Exhibit 3

.

### Page 24



## MOVES calculates emission factors for 13 separate vehicle ca tegories, referred to as source types:

Motorcycle

Passenger Car

Passenger Truck

Light Commercial Truck

Intercity Bus

Transit Bus

School Bus

Refuse Truck

Single Unit Short Haul Truck

Single Unit Long Haul Truck

Motor Home

Combination Unit Short Haul Truck

Combination Long Haul Truck

The EPA MOVES technical guidance was followed to split traffic volumes into the 13 MOVES source

types based on available data sources. Appendix A.2 of the MOVES technical guidance provides a

methodology to map the 28 MOBILE6. 2 vehicle types to the 13 MOVES source type definitions.

# Traffic Growth Assumptions

The base year 2008 RMS traffic volumes and VMT were factored to the 2013 and 2022 forecast analysis

years. For this inventory, the growth rates were based on the VMT growth rate projection methodology

developed by PennDOT as documented in the report “ Stat istical Evaluation of Projected Traffic Growth,

Traffic Growth Forecasting System: Final Report, March 14, 2005 ”. As part of that study, a statewide

traffic growth forecasting system was developed that incorporates traffic data from PennDOT’s Traffic

Info rmation System and available socioeconomic forecasts. The study methodology has been shared

among PennDOT, DEP, and other interagency consultation group members, including the Pennsylvania

Air Quality Work Group (which includes EPA, FHWA, and representati ves from larger PA Metropolitan

Planning Organizations (MPOs).

The data inputs to the traffic growth forecasting system are periodically updated to produce revised

forecast growth factors for each county in the state. The frequency of this update is at least every 5 years.

The most recent available forecasts, used in the development of this inventory, include historic HPMS

VMT through 2008 and use of the 2008 State Profile , developed by Woods & Poole Economics. The

2008 State Profile includes historical demographic data and forecasts by year from 1969 through 2030 for

every county and Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in Pennsylvania. The county VMT forecast

growth rates are developed for four types of functional roadway classifications in each county : urban

interstate, urban non

- interstate, rural interstate and rural non

- interstate.

# Vehicle Population

The MOVES emission model requires input vehicle population (the number of vehicles in the region) to

calculate the vehicle start and evaporative emissions. In MOBILE6.2, start and evaporative emissions

were related to VMT. The EPA MOVES tec hnical guidance provides several options for developing this

data. One option includes the use of state vehicle registration data; however, some further research is

needed to determine the accuracy of this data for heavy

- duty vehicle types and for applica tion within

MOVES. Many large trucks that travel in Pennsylvania may not be registered in the state or county since

many of these trucks are based out

- of

- state or travel farther than 500 miles per trip. In addition, many

registered vehicles may not opera te on particular days of the year (in this case a January weekday). For

### Page 26



## example, registered motor homes, classic cars, and specialized trucks may only operate on certain days or

seasons.

For this Allegheny CO inventory, vehicle population numbers were estimated using an alternative

approach provided in the MOVES technical guidance. A default national MOVES run was conducted to

determine the typical daily miles per vehicle for each MOVES vehicle type (e.g. a typical passenger car

travels on average abou t 35 miles per day). These values were used to convert Allegheny County VMT

by vehicle type to an estimate of vehicle population as follows:

Vehicle Population By Vehicle Type 

## = (VMT By Vehicle Type 

## / Avg Daily Miles Per Vehicle By Vehicle Type 

## )

Exhibit 5 summarizes the resulting estimate of vehicle population for each analysis year. A comparison

was made to the 2008 Allegheny County vehicle registration data obtained from PennDOT’s Department

of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to ensure calculated values are reasonable.

# Fleet Age Data

Vehicle age distribution files are developed for MOVES model runs based on registered vehicles that

reflect July 1 summer conditions. These distributions reflect the percentage of vehicles in the fleet up to

30 years old.

For this inventory, 2008 vehicle age distributions (in MOBILE6.2 format) have been compiled for

Allegheny County based on data obtained from the PennDOT DMV vehicles registration database. Due

to insufficient registration data available for heavy

- duty vehicles, as discussed above, only data for light

duty vehicles are used as local inputs. The heavy

- duty vehicles use the internal MOBILE6.2 defaults.

Using EXCEL spreadsheet convertors developed by EPA ( http://www.epa.gov/otaq/models/moves/tools.htm 

## ),

the MOBILE6.2 formatted age distributions were converted to files compatible with MOVES. The

vehicle age distributions by vehicle type are summarized in Exhibit 6

.

# I/M Parameters

The inspection maintenance (I/M) program inputs to MOVES are based on the current program that

covers Allegheny County. The Commonwealth’s I/M program was upgraded and expanded throughout

the state with a phase

# Weather Data

Historical weather information has been purchased by PennDOT from WeatherBank, Inc.

( http://www.weatherbank.com/ ). WeatherBank compiles detailed temperature data from airports and

other sources. Allegheny County hourly temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) and relative humidity (in

percent

– 0 to 100 scale) inputs from WeatherBank were use d for input to the MOVES model. The data

for January represents the 10

- year average of hourly temperatures and humidity. The data was originally

prepared for input to MOBILE6.2 as daily average minimum and maximum temperatures and absolute

humidity. The data was converted to the hourly MOVES formats using EPA’s EXCEL temperature

convertor obtained from EPA’s website (http://www.epa.gov/otaq/models/moves/tools.htm). Exhibit 9

# Vehicle Technology

The federal vehicle emissions control and fuel programs are incorporated into the MOVES software. The

programs include:

The Federal Motor Vehicle Control Program (FMVCP) including the National Low Emission

Vehicle Program (NLEV) and federal Tier II / Low Sulfur Fuel Program;

Emissions standar ds for medium and heavy duty vehicles in 2002, 2004, 2007, and 2011;

Stage II and Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR).

Note: Pennsylvania considers emissions from refueling operations an area source category. While MOVES

can be used to calculate emissi ons factors for that source category, refueling emissions are not included in

highway vehicle emissions estimations.



## Several state

- specific vehicle technology programs are also reflected in the MOVES modeling for

Allegheny County.

Within the Ozone Transp ortation Commission (OTC) area, which includes Pennsylvania, the NLEV

program began in 1999. The default emissions database that is included with MOVES includes the

effects of the nationwide NLEV standards beginning with the 2001 model year.

The Pennsyl vania Clean Vehicles (PCV) Program, ( PaCode

, Title 25, Chapter 126) adopted in 1998,

incorporated the California Low Emission Vehicle Program (CA LEV II) by reference although it allowed

automakers to comply with the NLEV program as an alternative to this Pennsylvania program until MY

2006. Beginning with MY 2008, “new” passenger cars and light

- duty trucks with a gross vehicle weight

rating (GVWR) of 8,500 pounds or less that are sold or leased and titled in Pennsylvania must be certified

by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) or be certified for sale in all 50 states. The impacts of

this program are modeled for all analysis years beyond 2008. MOVES does not include the impacts of

the PCV in the default emissions database.

To address the OTC NLEV e arly phase

- in and the effects of the PCV program within MOVES, two

separate emission databases reflecting each of the programs have been provided by EPA and documented

in the report Instructions for Using LEV and NLEV Inputs to MOVES, EPA

- 420

- B

- 10

- 003, Jan uary 2010

. The early NLEV database includes 1999 and 2000 model year rates. This file was used directly as input

to the MOVES software. For the PCV program, the MOVES CALEV file that includes updated rates

from 1994

- 2050 was modified to only use the rates for model years 2008 beyond as consistent with the

PCV program start date.

Summary of Change

Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) s ubmitted a State Implementation Plan ( SIP )

revision for CO under the limited maintenance plan option. In that analysis, each redesignation

criterion in Section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act ) is listed, along with a

short description of the guidance provided by EPA in relation to that criterion, and the

justification that supports the request for redesignation to attainment. Significantly, since the

area is “not classified,” and has a design value below 7.65 ppm, the County used EPA’s

“Limited Maintenance Plan Option” in addressing Section 107(d)(3)(E)(iv). Additionally,

because the area is “not classified,” the SIP submittal requirements of the CAA, Section 187, do

not apply. The CBD was designated CO attainment status with an effect ive date of January 13,

2003.

ACHD is submitting a SIP revision to the EPA to revise the Carbon Monoxide Limited

Maintenance Plan in accordance with Section 107(d) of the CAA to ensure maintenance of the

NAAQS in the CBD of Allegheny County for a second t en

- year period through year 2022. This

ten

- year plan maintains existing controls and contingency provisions, and succe ed s the previous

plan approved by the EPA in 2003. CO levels are expected to remain well below the NAAQS

for the ten

- year period ending 2022.

The re vision to the Carbon Monoxide Limited Maintenance Plan constitute s a change to the

Allegheny County portion of the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan.
