Title: Contribrutions to PM2.5 nonattainment from SO2 and NOx emissions in DE and NJ, Combined revised
Posted Date: 2005-06-21T04:00Z

Contributions
to
PM2.5
Nonattainment
from
SO2
and
NOx
Emissions
in
Delaware
and
New
Jersey,
Combined
Below
is
a
table
listing
the
combined
contribution
of
emissions
of
SO2
and
NOx
from
Delaware
and
New
Jersey
to
annual
average
PM2.5
concentrations
in
projected
2010
nonattainment
counties
in
other
States
within
the
Eastern
United
States.
EPA
determined
the
PM2.5
contributions
listed
in
this
table
by
applying
the
same
"
zero­
out"
modeling
technique
used
in
the
CAIR
rule
to
the
projected
2010
Base
Case
SO2
and
NOx
emissions
from
New
Jersey
and
Delaware.
The
rationale
for
evaluating
the
contributions
from
Delaware
and
New
Jersey
using
the
combined
SO2
and
NOx
emissions
in
both
States
is
described
in
the
proposed
rule
entitled,
"
Inclusion
of
Delaware
and
New
Jersey
in
the
Clean
Air
Act
Interstate
Rule"
(
70
FR
25408,
May
12,
2005).
Details
on
the
PM2.5
modeling
platform,
zero­
out
modeling
technique,
and
procedures
for
calculating
interstate
contributions
are
provided
in
the
report
"
Technical
Support
Document
for
the
Final
Clean
Air
Interstate
Rule
­
Air
Quality
Modeling,"
March
2005
(

Number
OAR­
2003­
0053­
2151).
The
2010
Base
Case
emissions
in
Delaware
and
New
Jersey
and
the
procedures
for
calculating
these
emissions
can
be
found
in
the
report
"
Clean
Air
Interstate
Rule
Emissions
Inventory
Technical
Support
Document,"
March
2005
(
Docket
number
OAR­
2003­
0053­
2047).

The
table
shows
that
the
combined
contribution
of
emissions
of
SO2
and
NOx
from
Delaware
and
New
Jersey
to
annual
average
1
There
are
three
counties
in
Pennsylvania
for
which
the
Delaware­
New
Jersey
contributions
are
projected
to
be
close
to
the
0.2

g/
m3
air
quality
factor
level.
These
are
Lancaster
and
Philadelphia
Counties
(
at
0.18

g/
m3),
and
Delaware
County
(
at
0.19

g/
m3).
PM2.5
concentrations
in
New
York
County,
New
York
is
projected
to
be
0.23

g/
m3,
which
is
above
the
0.2

g/
m3
used
in
the
CAIR
as
the
air
quality
factor
for
assessing
significance
of
contribution
to
downwind
States'
nonattainment1.
