# Final Revision to Delaware ’s 2008 State Implementation Plan For Attainment of the PM 2.5 

# Annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard
- Attainment Demonstration

February 11, 2012

### Section 1. Introduction In Ap ril, 2008 Delaware submitted to the EPA its “ State Implementation Plan for Attainment of the PM 2.5 

### Annual National Ambient Air Quality Standard

- Attainment Demonstration ” (the “2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP”). 1 

### The 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP set out to accomplish four primary goals:

• Demonstrate that with all existing and proposed controls, all of Delaware’s PM 2.5 

### monitors will show attainment in 2009.

• Demonstrate that the entire Philadelphia

- Wilmington, PA

- NJ

- DE non

- attainment area will attain the annual PM 2.5 

### NAAQS in 2009.

• Establish Delaware’s 2009 mob ile source budgets for transportation conformity determinations under Regulation No. 1132, Transportation Conformity.

• Treat emission reduction credits (ERCs) banked under 7 DE Admin. Code 11 34, Emissions Banking and Trading Program, as “emitted.” As such , the future use of these credits is consistent with, and will not interfere with any calculation or provision of this SIP.
This SIP revision is related to the PM 2.5 

### and NOx on

- road mobile source budgets that were established in the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP . Th o se SIP budgets were established using EPA’s MOBILE6.2 model. 2 

### However, e ffective March 2012 3 

### a new on
- road mob i le emission s model

– Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator ( MOVES )

– is required to be used in all planning and transportation conformity determinations.
Th e purpose of th is SIP revision is to 1) re pl ace the on
- road mobile emissions budget in the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP with a budget that is based on the MOVES model , 2) demonstrat e that the MOVES base d mobile source b udget is c onsistent with attainment of the PM 2.5 

### NAAQS by 2010, and 3) demonstrate that the contingency requirements of the Clean Air Act ( CAA ) are met

. No other changes or revisions to the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP are proposed.
Note that t his SIP revision impacts only PM 2.5 

### and NOx emissions and calculations

. While sulfur dioxide ( SO 2 

### ) is a pollutant of concern relative to PM 2.5 

### it is not a pollutant of concern for mobile budgets, and therefore no SO 2 

### changes are proposed as part of this SIP revi sion . The treatment of SO 2 

### emissions in the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP is unchanged. Questions or comments regarding this SIP revision should be addressed to Phil Wheeler, M.S. Project Leader for Transportation Conformit y, Planning Branch, Division of Air Quality, D elaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, at philip.wheeler@state.de.us

.

1 http://www.awm.delaware.gov/Info/Regs/Documents/DE_PM25_SIP_AD_fnl.pdf 2 Details of the MOBILE6 budget calculations are included in Section 8.2 of the 2008 PM 2.5 SIP. 3 EPA has proposed to extend this date by one year; to March 2013.

### Section 2
. Revised On
- Road Mobile Source Budget s T his SIP revision establishes on

- road mobile emissions budget for New Castle County for PM 2.5 

### and NOx. When approved by the EPA, all subsequent PM 2.5 

### conformity analyses will test future
on
- road mobile emissions calculated for transportation pla ns in New Castle County with this new budget.
2 .1 EPA’s MOVES mod el was used to quantify PM 2.5 

### and NOx emission from on

- road mobile sources. These emissions are shown in Table 2

- 1 below. The associated 2012 MOVES input and output files are included in Appendix A of this SIP revision.

- Road M obile S ource Emissions are Co nsistent with A ttainment of the PM 2.5 

### NAAQS by 2010
Delaware demonstrated attainment of the annual PM 2.5 

### NAAQS in its 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP by showing that Projected 2009 Emissions (i.e., the 2009 emission levels after the implementation of all state and federal control requirements) were less than the Attainment T argets (i.e., the emission levels needed for attainment based on modeling)

. This same methodology is used below to demonstrate that the MOVES based mobile budgets presented in Section 2 above are consistent with attainment of the PM 2.5 

### NAAQS.
3 .1 Community Multi

- scale Air Quality Model ( CMAQ ) modeling was conducted in the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP to demonstrate that Delaware and the entire Philadelphia based non

attainment area would attain the PM 2.5 

### NAAQS in 2010 4 

### . CMAQ modeling demonstrated that the Delaware emission levels shown in Table 3

- 1 are the levels that are necessary for, and consistent with attainment of the annual PM 2.5 

### NAAQS . These emission levels reflect the level of emissions needed for attainment, and are therefore referred to as the “ 2009 Attainment Target. ” 5 , 6

4 A detailed discussi on of the CMAQ modeling and modeling results can be found in Section 6 of the 2008 PM 2.5 SIP. 5 Although New Castle County is the only nonattainment county, emission levels of all three counties are used in the attainment demonstration. This is discusse d in Sections 3 and 4 of this SIP revision.

3 .2 Attainment year (i.e., 2009 ) emission levels were projected in the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP based on final and enforceable State and Federal emission control requirements. 7 

### These projected 2009 emission levels, which are referred to as the “ Delaware Projected 2009 Emissions, ” are shown in Table 3

- 4 , and is refe r red to as the “ Revised Delaware Projected 2009 Emissions .”

6 A detailed discuss ion of the emission inventories associated with the Attainment Target can be found in Section 5 of the 2008 PM 2.5 SIP. 7 A deta iled discussion of Delaware’s projected 2009 emission levels can be found in Section 4 of the 2008 PM 2.5 SIP.

3.5 The “Revised Delaware Projected 2009 Emissions” (i.e., Table 3

This comparison shows that there is a 64 tpy PM 2.5 

### surplus in New Castle County, and a 2,303 tpy NOx shortfall for New Castle County. This demonstrates that, relative to dir e ct PM 2.5 

### , the MOVES based mob i le budgets are consistent with attainment. These results also indicate that NOx requires further analysis.
3.6 Because of the regional nature of secondarily

- formed sulfate and nitrate, and the broad mode ling domain of the CMAQ modeling, which included all of Delaware, emission reductions from Kent and Sussex counties will contribute to attainment within New Castle County and the Philadelphia based non

- attainment area. Kent and Sussex counties are within the State of Delaware, contiguous to New Castle County, and are less than 200 kilometers away. EPA’s PM 2.5 

### Implementation Rule specifically provides for the consideration of in

- state NO X 

### and SO 2 

### reductions in their SIPs from sources up to 200 kilometers a way from the non

- attainment area boundaries

. 8 

### Consistent with this EPA rule, emissions from Kent and Sussex Counties were analyzed. Using the same methodology as above , statewide em issions are calculated and presented i n Table 3

- 5. These results indicate that while there is a 2 009 NOx shortfall of 2,303 tpy

8 PM2.5 Implementation Rule, April 25, 2007 (72 FR 20586 at 20636 )

### in New Castle County, there is a statewide NOx surplus of 1,239 tpy

. The analysis demonst rates that the 2009 MOVES based emission shown in Table 3

- 3 do not impair Delaware’s ability to meet its SIP emissions targets or meeting EPA’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards f or particulate matter. 9



### Section 4
. Demonstration that the Contingency Measure Requirement s of the CAA are Met
C ontingency measures are additional control measures to be implemented in the event that an area fails to either meet “reasonable further progress” or attain the standards by its attainment date. The quantity of emission reductions needed to satisfy contingency requirements is an amount equal to one year’s worth of required reductions. Delaware demonstrated that the contingency requirements of the CAA were met in Section 9 of its 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP by showing that the Delaware control measures have reduced NOx and primary PM 2.5 

### by more than is necessary to attain c ompliance with the PM 2.5 

### NAAQS

. This same methodology is used below to demonstrate that the “ Revised Delaware Projected 2009 Emissions ” in Table 3

- 4 are low enough to satisfy contingency requirements.
4 .1 Quantification of the c ontingency r equirement is discussed in detail in Section 9.1 of the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP. The contingency requirement for NOx and PM 2.5 

### is presented in Table 9

- 3 of the 2008 PM 2.5 

### SIP, and shown below in Table 4

- 1.
Table 4

- 1 Contingency Requirement (tpy) County NO X 

### PM 2.5 

### New Castle 1,100 26

4 .2 Demonstration that c ontingency r equirement is met is shown if the “ Revised Delaware Projected 2009 Emissions ” shown in Table 3

- 4 are lower than the “ Attainment Target ” shown in Table 3

- 1 by at least the amount of the amount of the contingency requirement shown in Table 4

- 1. Table 3

- 5 shows this calculation.
Table 3

- 5 shows that a 6 4 tpy reduction of PM 2.5 

### emissions are above and beyond that necessary for attainment. Since 64 tpy is g reater than the contingency requirement of 2 6 tpy PM 2.5 

### , the c ontingency requirement is demonstrated relative to the pollutant primary PM 2.5. 

### Table 3

- 5 also indicates that NOx requires further analysis

. 4.3 Because of the regional nature of secondarily

- formed sulfate and nitrate, and the broad mode ling domain of the CMAQ modeling, which included all of Delaware, emission reductions from Kent and Sussex counties will contribute to attainment within New Castle County and the Philadelphia based non
- attainment area. Kent and Sussex counties are within the State of Delaware, contiguous to New Castle County, and are less than 200

. See Section 5 (page 65) of the 2008 PM 2.5 S IP

.

### kilometers away. EPA’s PM 2.5 

### Implementation Rule specifically provides for the consideration of in

- state NO X 

### and SO 2 

### re ductions in their SIPs from sources up to 200 kilometers away from the non

- attainment area boundaries

. Consistent with this EPA rule, emissions from Kent and Sussex Counties were analyzed. Using the same methodology as above , statewide em issions are calc ulated and presented i n Table 3

- 5. This indicates that while there is a 2009 NOx shortfall of 2,303 tpy in New Castle County, there is a statewide NOx surplus of 1,239 tpy. Since 1,239 tpy is greater than the contingency requirement of 1,100 tpy NOx, the c ontingency requirement is demonstrated as met relative to the pollutant NOx

. 

### Section 5
. Summary The analysis in Section 3 and Section 4 above demonstrate s that 2009 MOVES based emission levels in table 3

- 3 are consistent with attainment and the contingency requirements of the CAA

. This SIP revision is anticipated to be approved by th e EPA in 2012. Because the 2012 based mobile budgets established in Section 2 of this SIP revision are less than the 2009 MOVES based emission levels shown in Tabl e 3

- 3, Section 3 and Section 4 above also demonstrate that mobile budgets established in Section 2 are consistent with attainment and contingency requirements of the CAA.

# qta/December 

# l, 20ll Delaware Register 

### of Regulations, artd 

### held 

### a public hearing on

December 

### 28,2011. 

## It should

### that no 

### public comment was received 

### by the Department 

### with regard 

### to this proposed promulgation, and 

### no members 

### of the public

attended the hearing held by the Department in this matter.
On March 

### 2,2010,the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

### ("EPA") published



### a notice 

### in the Federal Register concerning 

### the approval 

### of utilization 

### of the Motor
Vehicle Emissions 

### Simulator 

### ("MOVES") model as 

### a 

### tool 

### for calculation 

### of on-road


### emissions. That 

### EPA notice also established the beginning 

### of a two-year transportation 

### conformity grzceperiod, which is scheduled to end on March 

### 2,2012. Subsequent to that 

### date, 

### MOVES 

## is required 

## to be used 

## for new regional emissions analyses 

### for
transportation 

### conformity. In consideration 

### of the aforementioned 

### MOVES requirement
(and, due to the 

### ability of the 

### MOVES model to predict more accurate mobile emissions),

the Department proposes 

### to amend 

### its current State Implementation Plan 

### with a revised

on-road 

### mobile emissions budget 

### which utilizes the 

### MOVES 

### model. With the adoption


### of this amended 

### SIp, the Department 

### will be able 

### to more accurately calculate 

### the onroad sector's portion of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen emissions in New Castle 

### County. This proposed 

### action 

## will also address 

### the compatibility issue 

### with future
regional emissions analyses for transportation 

### conformity for the annual PMz.s standard

# I. Backsround:
A public hearing was held on Wednesday, December 

### 28,2011, at 6:00 p.m. at the 

### Deparhnent 

# of Natural Resources 

## and. Environmental 

## Control C'DNREC", 

### "Departnent'), 89 

### Kings Highway, Dover, Delaware 

### to receive comment 

### on proposed
amendments to the Delaware 2008 State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

### for Attainment of the PN{z.s 

### Annual National Ambient 

## Air Quality Standard. The purpose 

### of this proposed
revision is to (1) replace the on-road mobile emissions budget 

### in the 2008 PN{2.s SIP 

### with

a budget 

### that 

### is based 

### on the 

### MOVES model;

### (CAA) are met.
On March 

### 2,2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

### (*EPA') published



### a notice 

### in the Federal Register concerning 

### the approval 

## of utilization 

### of the Motor 

### Vehicle Emissions 

### Simulator 

### ("MOVES") model as 

### a 

### tool 

### for calculation 

### of on-road 

### emissions. That 

### EPA notice also established the beginning 

### of a two-year transportation

### conformity grace 

### period, 

### which 

### is scheduled 

### to end 

### on March 

### 2,2012. Subsequent 

### to

March 

### 2,2012, MOVES2OIO is required to be used 

### for new regional emissions analyses 

## for transportation 

## conformity. 

## In consideration 

## of the aforementioned MOVES requirement 

### (and, due 

### to the 

### ability 

### of the MOVES model 

### to predict 

### more accurate 

### mobile emissions), 

### the Deparbnent proposes 

### to amend 

### its current State trmplementation
Plan 

### with a revised on-road 

### mobile emissions budget 

### which utilizes the 

### MOVES model. 

### With the adoption 

### of this amended SIP, the Departrnent 

### will be able 

### to more accurately


### calculate 

### the on-road sector's 

### portion 

## of particulate 

### matter and oxides 

## of nitogen
emissions 

## in New Castle 

## County. This proposed 

### action 

## will also address the 

### compatibility issue 

### with future regional emissions analyses 

### for transportation 

### conformity
for the annual PN{z.s standard.
As noted above, the Departrrent held a 

### public hearing to receive comment on 

### this proposed promulgation on Wednesday, December 

### 28,2011. It should be noted that there

were 

### no comments were received

1. TITLE OF THE REGULAT IONS: P roposed Amendment to the April, 2008 Delaware State Implementation Plan For Attainment of the PM 2.5 A nnual National Ambient Air Quality Standard

2. BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE SUBJECT, SUBSTANCE AND ISSUES: On March 2, 2010 the USEPA published a notice in the Federal Register of the approval of using the Motor Vehicle Emission s Simulator (MOVES) model as a tool for calculating on

- road mobile emissions. The agency also stated in the notice that “ today's approval also starts a two

- year transportation conformity grace period which ends on March 2, 2012, after which MOVES2010 is required to be used for new regional emissions analyses for transportation conformity”. In consideration of the MOVES requirement for regional emissions analysis and that the MOVES model predicts more accurate mobile emissions; the Department is proposing to amend its currently adopted State Implementation Plan with a revised on

- road mobile emi ssions budget using the MOVES model. This action will more accurately calculate the on

- road sector’s portion of particulate matter and oxides of nitrogen emissions in New Castle County. The action will also address the compatibility issue with future reg ional emissions analyses for transportation conformity for the annual PM 2.5 standard.

3. POSSIBLE TERMS OF THE AGENCY ACTION: This action is not a regulation and does not have a sunset date

.

4. STATUTORY BASIS OR LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ACT: 7 Del. C. , Chapter 60, Environmental Control

5. OTHER REGULATIONS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PROPOSAL: None
