The
following
table
identifies
the
individual
areas
and
counties
comprising
those
areas
in
Illinois
that
EPA
is
designating
as
nonattainment
for
the
fine

Where
EPA
is
including
only
part
of
a
county
in
a

we
have
indicated
the
boundaries
of
the
portion
of
the
county
that
will
be
included.
Following
this

is
a

of
the

EPA
examined
and
a

of
each

and
the

Area
Discussion:

EPA
reviewed
the
nine
factors
for
the
thirteen
counties
within
the
metropolitan
area
(
including
ten
counties
in
Illinois)
as
well
as
all
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
in
order
to
determine
the
appropriate
nonattainment
area.
There
are
violating
monitors
in
Cook
County
and
in
Lake
County,
Indiana.
EPA
agrees
with
the
Illinois
EPA
to
include
Cook,
Du
Page,
Kane,
Lake,
Mc
Henry,
and
Will
counties,
Aux
Sable
and
Goose
Lake
Townships
in
Grundy
County,
and
Oswego
Township
in
Kendall
County
in
the
Chicago
nonattainment
area.
The
bulk
of
emissions
and
population
are
captured
without
including
DeKalb,
Grundy,
Kankakee
and
Kendall
Counties,
since
these
counties
have
limited
emissions
and
population.
Nevertheless,
we
support
the
recommendation
by
the
Illinois
EPA
to
include
the
three
townships
in
Grundy
and
Kendall
counties
in
the
nonattainment
area
to
maintain
consistency
with
the
ozone
designations
and
thereby
facilitate
planning.

There
are
eight
Illinois
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area,
including
Boone,
Ford,
Iroquois,
LaSalle,
Lee,
Livingston,
Ogle,
and
Winnebago
Counties.
Emissions
are
relatively
low
for
these
counties,
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
these
counties
nonattainment.
Therefore,
the
following
data

do
not

these
counties.

analysis
looks
at
physical
features
of
the
land
that
might
have
an
effect
on
the
airshed,
and
therefore,
the
distribution
of
particulate
matter
over
an
area.
The
State
of
Illinois
has
no
features
that
significantly
influenced
EPA's

of
the
following
counties:
Cook,
Du

6.5.1.2
Saint
Louis
Area
Discussion:

EPA
reviewed
the
nine
factors
for
the
counties
within
the
metropolitan
area
as
well
as
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
in
order
to
determine
the
appropriate
nonattainment
area.
There
are
violating
monitors
in
Madison
and
St.
Clair
counties
as
well
as
in
the
City
of
Saint
Louis.
EPA
agrees
with
the
Illinois
EPA
to
include
Madison,
Monroe
and
St.
Clair
counties
in
the
Illinois
portion
of
the
St.
Louis
nonattainment
area.

In
the
June
2004
letters
from
EPA
to
the
States
responding
to
their
designation
recommendations,
EPA
proposed
the
designation
of
a
number
of
counties
primarily
because
of
high
pollutant
emissions
from
power
plants.
Most
of
these
plants
were
located
in
nearby
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
(
as
defined
either
by
the
1999
or
2003
OMB
metropolitan
area
definitions).
EPA
suggested
that
a
State
could
provide
a
partial
county
boundary
that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.
6­
257
Illinois
recommended
a
designation
of
unclassified
for
a
portion
of
Randolph
County,
specifically
Baldwin
Township,
which
contains
the
Baldwin
power
plant.
EPA
is
designating
Baldwin
Township
in
Randolph
County
nonattainment
as
part
of
the
Saint
Louis
nonattainment
area.
EPA
notes
that
the
Baldwin
plant
has
recently
reduced
its
emissions
significantly.
The
Illinois
submission
did
not
indicate
whether
these
emission
reductions
are
enforceable
or
how
much
potential
exists
for
further
emission
reductions
at
this
facility
such
as
annual
operation
of
its
NOx
emission
controls.
Randolph
County
adjoins
a
county
that
is
monitoring
a
violation
of
the
standard,
and
the
most
significant
emissions
are
located
in
Baldwin
Township,
the
portion
of
the
county
closest
to
the
violation.
These
emissions
are
located
where
winds
would
commonly
blow
the
emissions
toward
the
observed
violations.
Emissions
are
moderately
high
even
after
the
recent
reductions.
EPA
concludes
that
these
emissions
are
sufficient
to
contribute
to
violations
in
the
Saint
Louis
area.

There
are
11
other
Illinois
counties
adjacent
to
the
Metropolitan
Area,
namely
Bond,
Calhoun,
Fayette,
Greene,
Macoupin,
Marion,
Montgomery,
Morgan,
Pike,
Sangamon,
and
Washington
Counties.
Emissions
for
these
counties
are
relatively
low
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
the
adjacent
counties
nonattainment.
Therefore,
the
following
data
summaries
for
factors
3
through
9
do
not
address
these
counties.

Besides
Randolph
County,
Illinois
also
recommended
a
designation
of
unclassifiable
for
Jersey
County,
and
recommended
attainment
for
all
other
counties
in
the
state
that
are
not
part
of
the
recommended
Saint
Louis
or
Chicago
nonattainment
areas.
EPA
is
designating
as
attainment/
unclassifiable
all
counties
that
are
not
part
of
the

According
to
information
provided
in
Illinois'
submittal
of
September
1,
2004,
the
Baldwin
Plant
in
Baldwin
Township
represents
approximately
96%
of
the
SOX
emissions
and
86%
of
the
NOX
emissions
for
Randolph
County.
Therefore,
designating
Baldwin
Township
as
nonattainment
will
capture
the
bulk
of
emissions
from
Randolph
County.

General
Issue
of
Size
of
Nonattainment
Areas
Indiana's
recommendations
for
nonattainment
areas
included
only
counties
that
monitored
nonattainment
and
did
not
include
any
additional
counties
that
contributed
to
nonattainment.
Indiana's
submissions
noted
several
areas
where
relatively
nearby
monitors
showed
differing
concentrations,
for
example
Lake
County
monitoring
nonattainment
and
Porter
County
monitoring
attainment.
Indiana
deduces
from
this
that
the
impacts
of
emissions
within
an
area
added
to
large
"
background
concentrations"
arising
from
long
range
transport
are
very
localized.
Therefore,
Indiana
concludes,
counties
lacking
a
monitored
violation
may
be
considered
not
to
contribute
to
monitored
violations
in
other
counties.

EPA's
guidance
recommends
a
presumption
for
nonattainment
areas
that
include
entire
metropolitan
areas,
reflecting
a
presumption
that
violations
in
a
metropolitan
area
reflect
contributions
from
the
entire
area.
EPA's
guidance
recognizes
that
violations
of
the
PM2.5
standard
reflect
both
regional
scale
impacts
from
contributions
originating
outside
the
metropolitan
area
and
more
local
scale
impacts.
Indeed,
the
different
components
of
PM2.5
have
different
ranges
of
impacts,
with
some
components
showing
greatest
impacts
very
close
to
the
emissions
sources,
some
components
showing
peak
impacts
at
a
moderate
distance
from
the
emissions
(
such
as
from
rapid
photochemical
reactions),
and
some
components
showing
similar
impacts
over
distance
ranges
of
hundreds
of
kilometers.
Consequently,
the
existence
of
neighboring
counties
with
somewhat
different
concentrations,
like
Lake
County
observing
design
values
up
to
15.2
µ
g/
m3
versus
the
Porter
County
site
having
a
design
value
of
13.8
µ
g/
m3,
does
not
signify
that
emissions
in
the
county
with
lower
concentrations
fails
to
contribute
to
the
higher
concentrations
in
the
neighboring
county.

Further
considerations
apply
to
mobile
sources.
By
definition,
these
sources
can
be
associated
with
a
residence
or
business
in
one
county
but
emit
PM2.5
and
its
precursors
in
another
county.
Some
of
the
relevant
control
measures
address
the
"
home"
of
these
vehicles.
This
consideration
supports
including
counties
that
are
the
origin
of
sizable
numbers
of
vehicles
in
the
nonattainment
area.

Indiana
has
not
provided
convincing
evidence
to
rebut
EPA's
general
presumption
or
the
underlying
view
of
the
typical
characteristics
of
the
PM2.5
problem,
nor
has
Indiana
demonstrated
that
the
presumption
does
not
apply
in
any
Indiana
areas.
Therefore,
EPA
is
including
the
additional
counties
that
it
believes
contribute
to
the
observed
violations
in
the
nonattainment
areas
it
is
promulgating.

6.5.2.1
Chicago­
Northwest
Indiana
Area
Discussion
The
following
is
the
nine­
factor
analysis
for
the
Indiana
portion
of
the
Chicago­
Northwest
Indiana
area
including
adjacent
counties
in
Indiana.
The
Chicago­
Gary­
Kenosha
Metropolitan
Area
includes
10
counties
in
Illinois,
two
in
Indiana
and
one
in
Wisconsin.
Indiana
recommended
that
Lake
County,
which
has
a
violating
monitor,
be
designated
as
nonattainment
for
PM2.5,
and
that
Porter
County,
which
has
a
monitor
showing
attainment,
be
designated
as
attainment/
unclassified.
However,
EPA
is
designating
both
Lake
and
Porter
Counties
as
nonattainment.

Lake
and
Porter
Counties
both
have
high
composite
emissions
scores.
Although
Porter
County
has
a
monitor
which
shows
attainment,
its
emissions
contribute
to
over
9%
of
the
Chicago
area
composite
emissions
score
largely
as
a
result
of
significant
power
plant
coal
combustion
and
steel
mill
emissions
as
well
as
some
emissions
from
mobile
sources
and
other
sources.
The
composite
emissions
scores
from
the
adjacent
counties
are
all
modest.
La
Porte
County,
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area,
is
monitoring
attainment
of
the
annual
PM2.5
standard
and
is
judged
not
to
contribute
to
nonattainment
in
the
Chicago­
Northwest
Indiana
area.

In
addition,
Porter
has
a
sizeable
population
with
over
150,000
residents,
and
over
21,000
workers
travel
into
Lake
County
on
a
daily
basis,
thereby
contributing
to
Lake
County
monitored
PM
levels.
There
is
limited
commuting
from
Jasper,
La
Porte,
and
Newton
Counties
into
the
metropolitan
area.
Lake
County
experienced
very
little
growth
from
1990
to
2000.
During
this
time,
Porter
County
added
nearly
18,000
people.
Jasper
County
growth
rate
was
high,
but
even
with
the
increase
of
5,000
people,
its
population
is
still
quite
small
for
the
area.

EPA
considered
the
emissions,
population,
and
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
from
Newton,
Jasper,
and
La
Porte
Counties,
which
are
adjacent
to
Lake
and
Porter
Counties.
Based
upon
the
emissions,
populations,
and
VMT,
EPA
is
designating
these
three
counties
as
attainment/
unclassified.

Other
factors
EPA
reviewed
are
meteorology,
geography,
jurisdictional
boundaries,
and
emission
controls.
The
wind
data
presented
below
shows
no
dominant
wind
direction
for
Northwest
Indiana.
There
are
no
geographical
features
in
this
area
that
would
effect
the
distribution
of
PM2.5.
Lake
and
Porter
Counties
are
both
included
in
the
Chicago
ozone
nonattainment
area.
La
Porte
County
is
in
a
separate
ozone
nonattainment
area.
All
three
counties
make
up
the
area's
metropolitan
planning
organization.
The
state
has
not
submitted
any
information
on
emission
controls
in
Northwest
Indiana.

6.5.2.2
Cincinnati
Area
Discussion
The
Cincinnati
Metropolitan
Area
includes
five
Ohio
counties,
six
Kentucky
counties,
and
two
Indiana
counties:
Dearborn
and
Ohio.
Indiana
did
not
recommend
either
of
their
counties
for
nonattainment
in
the
Cincinnati
area.
After
considering
all
nine
factors
for
both
counties,
EPA
is
designating
Lawrenceburg
Township
in
Dearborn
County
as
nonattainment.
All
other
Dearborn
County
townships
are
being
designated
as
attainment/
unclassified.

In
the
June
2004
letters
from
EPA
to
the
States
responding
to
their
designation
recommendations,
EPA
proposed
the
designation
of
a
number
of
counties
primarily
because
of
high
pollutant
emissions
from
power
plants.
Most
of
these
plants
were
located
in
nearby
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
(
as
defined
either
by
the
1999
or
2003
OMB
metropolitan
area
definitions).
EPA
suggested
that
a
State
could
provide
a
partial
county
boundary
that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.
6­
269
Data
are
provided
for
full
counties
only.
Dearborn
County's
main
emissions
sources
including
the
Tanners
Creek
power
plant
are
found
in
Lawrenceburg
Township.

Dearborn
County
has
significant
emissions
yielding
a
composite
emissions
score
of
11.4.
This
score
ranks
third
in
the
three
State,
13
county
metropolitan
area.
The
wind,
with
a
westerly
component
63%
of
the
time,
commonly
transports
Dearborn
County
emissions
east
into
the
rest
of
the
Cincinnati
area.

Considering
its
modest
population,
a
significant
number
of
Dearborn
County
workers
commute
into
the
Ohio
and
Kentucky
portions
of
the
area.
This
shows
that
it
is
an
integral
part
of
the
area.
Dearborn
County's
Lawrenceburg
Township
is
also
included
as
a
partial
county
in
the
Cincinnati
ozone
nonattainment
area.
The
county
is
in
Cincinnati's
metropolitan
planning
organization
as
well.

Because
emissions
are
relatively
low
for
the
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area,
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
these
counties
nonattainment,
the
following
data
summaries
for
factors
3
through
9
do
not
display
these
counties.

Indiana
noted
some
further
emission
reductions
at
the
Tanners
Creek
power
plant
in
Lawrenceburg
Township
of
Dearborn
County.
However,
EPA
determined
that
these
reductions
reduced
the
composite
emission
score
only
from
11.4
to
10.2.
EPA
thus
continues
to
believe
that
Lawrenceburg
Township
of
Dearborn
County
contributes
to
violations
in
the
Cincinnati
area.

6.5.2.3
Elkhart
Area
Discussion
The
Elkhart,
Indiana
Metropolitan
Area
consists
solely
of
Elkhart
County,
which
has
a
violating
monitor.
As
a
result
of
the
violating
monitor,
Indiana
recommended
that
it
be
designated
as
nonattainment.
EPA
also
considered
the
impact
of
the
surrounding
seven
counties.
These
counties
in
Indiana
include
Saint
Joseph,
Kosciusko,
Marshall,
Noble,
Lagrange
Counties,
which
Indiana
recommended
be
designated
as
attainment
for
PM2.5
and
in
Michigan
include
Saint
Joseph
and
Cass
Counties.
Of
the
surrounding
counties,
EPA
is
designating
Saint
Joseph
County,
Indiana,
as
nonattainment
and
the
remaining
six
counties
as
attainment/
unclassified.

Over
half
of
the
composite
emissions
score
for
the
eight
counties
is
from
Elkhart
and
Saint
Joseph
(
Ind.)
Counties.
In
fact,
Saint
Joseph
County
has
the
highest
emissions
score
with
emissions
comparable
to
Elkhart
County.
In
addition,
Saint
Joseph
County
has
a
large
population
with
Elkhart
County's
population
being
slightly
less.
The
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
was
significant
in
both
counties.
There
are
a
large
number
of
Elkhart
County
workers
commuting
from
Saint
Joseph
County.
Although
Saint
Joseph
6­
273
County
has
a
monitor
showing
attainment,
the
particulate
matter
emissions
from
Saint
Joseph
County
would
reasonably
be
expected
to
contribute
to
concentrations
in
Elkhart
County.
This
is
because
Saint
Joseph
County
is
directly
west
of
Elkhart
County
and
the
winds
are
from
the
northwest
or
southwest
64%
of
the
time.
Elkhart
and
Saint
Joseph
Counties
are
designated
as
a
single
nonattainment
for
the
ozone
standard.
Also,
both
counties
are
in
the
same
metropolitan
planning
organization,
the
Michiana
Area
Council
of
Government.
EPA
is
designating
the
remaining
six
counties
as
attainment/
unclassified
because
they
have
much
lower
emissions,
population,
and
VMT
than
Elkhart
and
Saint
Joseph
Counties.

Southwest
Indiana
(

Discussion:

The
Evansville
Metropolitan
Area
includes
Warrick,
Posey,
and
Vanderburgh
Counties
in
Indiana
and
Henderson
County
in
Kentucky.
Dubois
County
is
not
part
of
a

according
to
1999
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
metropolitan

definitions.
EPA
also
considered
numerous
other
adjacent
counties,
particularly
Gibson,
Pike,
and
Spencer
Counties.
Both
Vanderburgh
and
Dubois
Counties
have
violating
monitors
and
were
recommended
by
Indiana
to
be
designated
as

For
the

that
includes
Dubois,
Vanderburgh,

in
nearby
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
(
as
defined
either
by
the
1999
or
2003
OMB
metropolitan
area
definitions).
EPA
suggested
that
a
State
could
provide
a
partial
county
boundary
that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.

A
number
of
states
responded
to
this
suggestion
with
a
series
of
connected
townships
or
other
unique
boundaries.
Some
states
also
suggested
an
alternative
approach
in
which
partial
county
areas
for
power
plants
in
some
cases
could
be
small
"
free­
standing"
boundaries
that
are
considered
part
of
the
nearby
nonattainment
area.
In
this
way,
it
would
not
be
necessary
to
include
additional
townships
or
other
minor
civil
divisions
comprising
an
odd­
shaped
"
land
connector"
extending
from
the
main
part
of
the
nonattainment
area
to
the
power
plant.

After
considering
these
comments
from
the
States,
EPA
agrees
that
such
an
approach
is
preferable
in
cases
where
a
partial
county
nonattainment
boundary
has
not
already
been
established
for
that
source
(
e.
g.
partial
county
boundaries
recently
established
for
8­
hour
ozone
nonattainment
areas).
For
purposes
of
consistency,
EPA
has
decided
that
freestanding
portions
of
nonattainment
areas
should
be
based
on
a
pre­
existing
boundary
for
a
minor
civil
division
(
such
as
a
township
or
tax
district)
or
other
boundary
defined
for
governmental
use
(
such
as
a
census
block
group
or
census
tract).
Accordingly,
this
kind
of
partial
county
boundary
should
not
be
defined
simply
as
the
boundary
of
the
facility.
Therefore,
Montgomery
Township
in
Gibson
County,
Washington
Township
in
Pike
County,
and
Ohio
Township
in
Spencer
County
are
partial
county
areas
included
in
the
Evansville
nonattainment
area.
6­
276
Gibson,
Spencer,
Pike,
and
Warrick
Counties
have
the
highest
emission
levels
in
Southwest
Indiana.
Emissions
of
both
direct
PM2.5
and
precursors
are
high
for
these
counties,
resulting
in
their
high
composite
emission
scores.
Dubois
and
Vanderburgh
Counties
have
design
values
exceeding
the
PM2.5
standard
of
15.0
µ
g/
m3,
despite
their
more
modest
emissions.
Spencer
County,
Indiana,
and
Daviess
County,
Kentucky
are
monitoring
below
the
standard
while
the
rest
of
the
area
including
the
adjacent
counties
have
no
monitors.

Vanderburgh
County
is
home
to
a
majority
of
the
Evansville
area
population.
Commuting
patterns
show
a
connection
between
Vanderburgh
and
Warrick
Counties.
Population
growth
was
modest
for
all
counties
being
considered.

Gibson
and
Pike
Counties
are
located
north
of
Vanderburgh
County
and
west
of
Dubois
County.
Spencer
and
Warrick
Counties
are
east
of
Vanderburgh
County
and
south
of
Dubois
County.
The
meteorological
data
presented
under
Factor
6
indicates
no
prevailing
wind
direction.
The
location
of
the
area
counties
and
the
varied
wind
directions
mean
that
Vanderburgh
County
or
Dubois
County
will
commonly
be
downwind
from
at
least
some
of
the
high
emissions
sources
in
these
counties.

EPA
believes
that
the
high
emissions
in
several
counties
in
the
area
contribute
to
the
violations
recorded
in
Vanderburgh
and
Dubois
Counties.
Gibson,
Pike,
Spencer,
and
Warrick
Counties
all
contain
power
plants
with
significant
emissions
that
contribute
to
the
violations
in
Dubois
and
Vanderburgh
Counties.
The
townships
identified

6.5.2.5
Indianapolis
Area
Discussion
The
Indianapolis
Metropolitan
Area
includes
nine
Indiana
counties:
Boone,
Hamilton,
Hancock,
Hendricks,
Johnson,
Madison,
Marion,
Morgan,
and
Shelby.
Indiana
recommended
designating
Marion
County
as
nonattainment
of
the
PM2.5
standard.

The
monitors
in
Marion
County
are
showing
a
violation
of
the
standard.
Madison
County's
monitor
indicates
concentrations
below
the
annual
PM2.5
standard
of
15.0
µ
g/
m3.
No
other
area
counties
have
monitored
air
quality
data.
The
Indianapolis
area
has
one
central
county,
Marion
County,
ringed
by
the
other
eight
counties.
The
eight
outlying
counties
are
all
a
similar
distance
from
the
central
county
with
no
intermediate
counties.
This
configuration
allows
the
EPA
to
consider
a
combination
of
emissions
and
wind
data
to
estimate
each
county's
potential
contributions
to
violation
of
the
annual
PM2.5
standard
in
Marion
County.
A
description
of
the
methods
for
assessing
this
information
is
given
along
with
the
Indianapolis
area
emissions
data
below.
EPA
believes
that
this
approach
provides
a
fine
tuned
comparison
of
the
potential
of
each
of
the
counties
surrounding
Marion
County
to
contribute
to
the
violations
recorded
in
Marion
County.

Marion
County
contributes
about
50
percent
of
the
emissions
of
the
metropolitan
area
on
a
composite
emissions
basis.
Consistent
with
its
intended
designations
elsewhere,
EPA
believes
that
this
indicates
that
more
than
just
Marion
County
contributes
to
the
violations,
and
that
the
planning
area
for
evaluating
strategies
must
include
a
greater
fraction
of
emissions
in
the
area.

The
wind­
weighted
emissions
information
suggests
that
Hamilton,
Hendricks,
Johnson,
Madison,
Morgan
and
Shelby
Counties
have
significant
potential
to
contribute
to
violations
in
Marion
County.
Conversely,
this
information
suggests
that
Boone
and
Hancock
have
somewhat
limited
potential
to
contribute
to
violations
in
Marion
County.

EPA
further
examined
the
proximity
of
the
emissions
in
the
surrounding
to
the
violations
in
Marion
County
and
commuting
and
growth
information.
None
of
the
Indianapolis
urbanized
area
as
defined
by
the
U.
S.
Census
Bureau
is
in
Madison
or
Shelby
Counties.
As
a
result,
Madison
and
Shelby
Counties
have
less
growth
and
less
commuting
into
Marion
County
than
other
counties
that
are
more
integrally
part
of
the
Indianapolis
area.
Much
of
the
population
and
emissions
in
Madison
and
Shelby
Counties
are
in
Anderson
and
Shelbyville,
respectively.
Thus,
these
emissions
are
at
a
greater
distance
from
the
violations
in
Marion
County
than
the
other
counties,
for
which
population
and
emissions
tend
to
be
concentrated
at
the
edge
of
Marion
County.

Indiana
stated
that
significant
emission
reductions
have
occurred
in
Hamilton
County
due
to
conversion
of
the
Noblesville
power
plant
to
natural
gas.
However,
EPA
finds
that
6­
281
even
were
this
plant's
emissions
to
be
eliminated,
the
remaining
emissions
in
Hamilton
County
would
still
be
sufficient
to
be
considered
to
be
contributing
to
violations
in
Marion
County.

For
these
reasons,
EPA
believes
that
Hamilton,
Hendricks,
Johnson,
Marion,
and
Morgan
Counties
contribute
to
the
violations
in
Marion
County.
This
is
why
EPA
is
designating
them
as
nonattainment.
EPA
believes
that
Boone,
Hancock,
Madison,
and
Shelby
Counties
do
not
contribute
and
were
designated
attainment/
unclassified.
EPA
also
concluded
that
none
of
the
numerous
counties
that
are
outside
but
adjacent
to
the
Indianapolis
Metropolitan
Area
should
be
considered
to
contribute
to
the
violations
in
Marion
County.

Factor
1:
Emissions
Given
the
unique
geography
of
the
Indianapolis
area,
EPA
calculated
a
wind­
weighted
emissions
score
as
well
as
a
composite
emissions
score
for
the
Indianapolis
area.
The
wind
data
used
in
calculating
the
wind­
weighted
score
reflect
the
frequency
of
winds
in
the
Indianapolis
area
from
each
of
16
directions.
This
data
is
provided
under
factor
6
below.

The
wind­
weighted
score
is
calculated
as
follows:
for
each
of
the
eight
counties
surrounding
Marion
County,
EPA
identified
the
direction
for
which
the
winds
would
blow
most
directly
over
Marion
County,
and
tabulated
the
sum
of
the
frequency
of
winds
for
that
direction
and
the
two
adjacent
directions
among
the
set
of
16
directions.
This
frequency
of
being
upwind
was
multiplied
times
the
composite
score
to
obtain
a
preliminary
wind­
weighted
composite
emissions
score.
These
eight
preliminary
scores
added
up
to
8.7.
For
Marion
County,
EPA
retained
the
unweighted
composite
emissions
score
of
50.6.
EPA
then
normalized
the
scores
of
the
surrounding
scores
to
add
up
to
49.4.
Each
county
score
was
multiplied
by
49.4/
8.7,
yielding
the
wind­
weighted
emissions
score.
The
total
of
the
wind­
weighted
emissions
scores
for
all
9
counties
is
100.

The
EPA
derived
wind­
weighted
emissions
scores
reflect
the
variability
of
frequency
of
winds
from
different
directions.
This
process
seeks
to
assess
more
precisely
the
relative
potential
impacts
of
the
counties
in
the
Indianapolis
area.
The
following
table
has
the
SO2,

composite
emissions
scores,

6.5.2.6
Louisville
Area
Discussion
The
Louisville
Metropolitan
Area
includes
three
Kentucky
counties
and
Clark,
Floyd,
Harrison,
and
Scott
Counties
in
Indiana.
Several
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
were
evaluated,
especially
Jefferson
County,
Indiana.
Indiana
recommended
designating
Clark
County
as
nonattainment
of
the
PM2.5
standard.
EPA
is
designating
Clark
and
Floyd
Counties
and
Madison
Township
in
Jefferson
County
as
non­
attainment.

In
the
June
2004
letters
from
EPA
to
the
States
responding
to
their
designation
recommendations,
EPA
proposed
the
designation
of
a
number
of
counties
primarily
because
of
high
pollutant
emissions
from
power
plants.
Most
of
these
plants
were
located
in
nearby
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
(
as
defined
either
by
the
1999
or
2003
OMB
metropolitan
area
definitions).
EPA
suggested
that
a
State
could
provide
a
partial
county
boundary
that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.
6­
287
A
number
of
states
responded
to
this
suggestion
with
a
series
of
connected
townships
or
other
unique
boundaries.
Some
states
also
suggested
an
alternative
approach
in
which
partial
county
areas
for
power
plants
in
some
cases
could
be
small
"
free­
standing"
boundaries
that
are
considered
part
of
the
nearby
nonattainment
area.
In
this
way,
it
would
not
be
necessary
to
include
additional
townships
or
other
minor
civil
divisions
comprising
an
odd­
shaped
"
land
connector"
extending
from
the
main
part
of
the
nonattainment
area
to
the
power
plant.

After
considering
these
comments
from
the
States,
EPA
agrees
that
such
an
approach
is
preferable
in
cases
where
a
partial
county
nonattainment
boundary
has
not
already
been
established
for
that
source
(
e.
g.
partial
county
boundaries
recently
established
for
8­
hour
ozone
nonattainment
areas).
For
purposes
of
consistency,
EPA
has
decided
that
freestanding
portions
of
nonattainment
areas
should
be
based
on
a
pre­
existing
boundary
for
a
minor
civil
division
(
such
as
a
township
or
tax
district)
or
other
boundary
defined
for
governmental
use
(
such
as
a
census
block
group
or
census
tract).
Accordingly,
this
kind
of
partial
county
boundary
should
not
be
defined
simply
as
the
boundary
of
the
facility.
Therefore,
Madison
Township
in
Jefferson
County
is
a
partial
county
area
included
in
the
Louisville
nonattainment
area.

The
monitor
in
Clark
County
is
showing
a
violation
of
the
standard.
Floyd
County's
monitor
is
just
below
the
annual
PM2.5
standard
of
15
µ
g/
m3.
The
emissions
from
both
Floyd
and
Clark
Counties
are
significant,
with
Floyd
County's
emissions
being
greater.
Jefferson
County,
Indiana
also
has
a
substantial
level
of
emissions,
the
bulk
of
which
is
captured
by
designating
Madison
Township
as
nonattainment.
There
are
relatively
low
emissions
from
Harrison
and
Scott
Counties.

The
population
in
Clark
and
Floyd
Counties
dominates
the
Indiana
population
in
the
area.
All
metropolitan
area
counties
had
a
similar
growth
rate.
There
is
significant
commuting
between
Clark
and
Floyd
Counties
and
from
both
counties
into
the
Kentucky
portion
of
the
Louisville
area.
Commuting
from
Harrison
and
Scott
Counties
to
the
rest
of
the
metropolitan
area
is
modest.
There
is
very
limited
commuting
from
Jefferson
County,
Indiana.

Meteorological
data
shows
the
wind
is
from
the
northeast
about
21%
of
the
time.
Jefferson
County,
Indiana
is
located
northeast
of
Clark
and
Floyd
Counties.
EPA
believes
that
winds
blow
sufficiently
frequent
from
the
northeast
and
emissions
from
Jefferson
County,
Indiana,
are
sufficient
that
Jefferson
County
should
be
considered
to
contribute
to
violations
in
Louisville.
Clark
and
Floyd
Counties
are
included
in
the
Louisville
area
ozone
designations
and
with
its
metropolitan
planning
organization.
The
state
did
not
provided
any
information
on
emission
controls
in
the
Indiana
portion
of
the
Louisville
area.

Jefferson
County
is
adjacent
to
the
Louisville
Metropolitan
Area
and
contains
a
power
plant
with
significant
emissions
that
contribute
to
the
violations
in
the
Louisville
Metropolitan
Area.
These
emissions
are
captured
by
designating
Madison
Township
as
nonattainment.

6.5.2.7
Muncie
Area
Discussion
The
Muncie
area
consists
of
Delaware
County,
Indiana.
EPA
is
designating
Delaware
County
as
unclassifiable
for
the
PM2.5
standard.
This
represents
a
modification
of
the
State's
recommendation
that
this
county
be
designated
attainment/
unclassifiable.

Data
must
be
collected
for
at
least
75%
of
the
scheduled
days
in
a
calendar
quarter
to
meet
the
completeness
criteria
for
showing
attainment.

Muncie
has
a
single
PM2.5
monitor
that
is
scheduled
to
sample
on
every
third
day.
In
the
first
quarters
of
2001
and
2003,
this
monitor
recorded
less
than
75
percent
of
the
scheduled
values
but
more
than
11
samples.
EPA
policy
states
that
this
quantity
of
data
is
insufficient
to
label
an
area
as
attainment,
insofar
as
the
data
are
considered
complete.
On
the
other
hand,
EPA
policy
states
that
this
quantity
of
data
is
sufficient
to
label
an
area
nonattainment,
with
the
data
being
considered
complete
in
this
case.
The
following
are
the
3­

average

recorded
at
this
site.

Detroit­
Ann
Arbor­
Flint
Area
Discussion:

EPA
reviewed
the
nine
factors
for
the
counties
within
the
metropolitan
area
as
well
as
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
in
order
to
determine
the
appropriate
nonattainment
area.
There
are
violating
monitors
in
Monroe
and
Wayne
counties.
EPA
agrees
with
the
Michigan
DEQ
to
designate
Monroe
and
Wayne
counties
as
nonattainment.
However,
based
upon
our
nine­
factor
analysis,
EPA
believes
that
in
addition
to
Monroe
and
Wayne
counties,
the
Detroit
nonattainment
area
should
also
include
Livingston,
Macomb,
Oakland,
St.
Clair,
and
Washtenaw
counties
as
one
contiguous
area.
These
counties
have
significant
emissions
and
the
population,
population
density,
and
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
are
at
sufficient
levels
to
be
part
of
the
designated
area.
This
is
consistent
with
the
national
approach
of
capturing
the
majority
of
emissions
and
population
in
a
metropolitan
area.
Genesee,
Lapeer,
and
Lenawee
counties
are
also
in
the
Metropolitan
area
but
were
excluded
upon
review
of
the
9
factors.
Except
for
Genesee
County,
which
is
discussed
below,
these
counties
have
lower
emissions,
population,
population
density,
and
VMT.

Michigan
supported
its
recommendation
of
attainment
for
most
counties
by
attributing
the
violations
in
Wayne
County
predominantly
to
high
emissions
in
Wayne
County,
and
attributing
the
violation
in
Monroe
County
to
emissions
in
Toledo,
Ohio.
Michigan
notes
the
monitored
attainment
in
Macomb
County,
and
observes
that
trajectories
for
high
and
low
concentration
days
in
Wayne
County
indicate
that
the
highest
concentrations
occur
when
winds
are
from
the
south
and
west.
Michigan
concludes
from
this
evidence
that
the
6­
294
Wayne
County
violations
arise
from
a
combination
of
long­
range
transport
and
very
localized
emissions,
and
that
counties
other
than
Wayne
County
do
not
contribute
to
violations
in
Wayne
County.

EPA
disagrees
with
Michigan's
analysis.
EPA's
guidance
includes
a
presumption
that
the
entire
metropolitan
area
contributes
to
the
nonattainment
problem,
reflecting
evidence
that
the
various
types
of
emissions
that
lead
to
PM2.5
concentrations
have
impacts
on
many
distance
scales
including
metropolitan
scale.
Michigan
has
not
provided
a
convincing
demonstration
that
EPA's
presumption
and
the
underlying
understanding
of
the
nature
of
PM2.5
is
invalid
or
inapplicable
to
the
Detroit
area.
The
design
value
in
Macomb
County
is
15.0
micrograms
per
cubic
meter,
just
barely
attaining
the
standard.
While
it
is
evident
that
Macomb
County
does
not
by
itself
cause
violations
in
Wayne
County,
the
wind
data
shown
for
factor
6
below
demonstrate
that
winds
often
blow
from
Macomb
County
into
Wayne
County.
While
the
wind
blows
from
the
southwest
quadrant
more
frequently
than
other
quadrants,
the
wind
blows
from
the
northwest
or
northeast
quadrants
about
40
percent
of
the
time.
Trajectory
information
can
often
be
misleading;
since
a
high
fraction
of
observed
PM2.5
concentrations
are
attributable
to
long
range
transport,
trajectories
for
high
concentration
days
tend
to
be
a
better
measure
of
whether
distant
contributions
to
transported
"
background"
concentrations
are
high
rather
than
indicating
high
local
contributions.
Michigan's
analysis
also
does
not
address
the
contributions
to
Wayne
County
concentrations
from
mobile
sources
that
originate
in
other
counties.
Although
different
components
of
PM2.5
have
different
geographic
scales
of
impact,
EPA
continues
to
believe
that
emissions
throughout
a
metropolitan
area
can
contribute
significantly
to
observed
violations.
Since
a
significant
fraction
of
the
Detroit
area's
emissions
occur
in
Livingston,
Macomb,
Oakland,
St.
Clair,
and
Washtenaw
Counties,
EPA
believes
that
these
contribute
to
nonattainment
in
Wayne
and
Monroe
Counties.

The
composite
emissions
score
for
Genesee
County
is
somewhat
higher
than
that
of
Washtenaw
County.
EPA
nevertheless
believes
that
Washtenaw
County
contributes
to
violations
in
Wayne
and
Monroe
Counties
and
Genesee
County
does
not.
Washtenaw
County
is
upwind
of
Wayne
and
Monroe
Counties
somewhat
more
frequently
than
Genesee
County.
More
importantly,
Washtenaw
County
is
closer
to
Wayne
and
Monroe
Counties
and
the
observed
violations,
which
means
that
the
emissions
are
likely
to
have
a
greater
impact
and
mobile
sources
are
more
likely
to
be
traveling
into
the
violating
counties.
Finally,
Washtenaw
County
is
part
of
the
Detroit
ozone
nonattainment
area
whereas
Genesee
County
is
part
of
a
separate
ozone
nonattainment
area,
and
the
Detroit
area
metropolitan
planning
organization
includes
Washtenaw
County
and
not
Genesee
County.
Therefore,
including
Washtenaw
County
in
the
PM2.5
nonattainment
area
will
facilitate
coordinated
ozone
and
PM2.5
planning.

Michigan
requested
that
Wayne
and
Monroe
Counties
each
be
treated
as
single
county
nonattainment
areas.
Michigan
has
not
justified
a
conclusion
that
either
of
these
counties
may
be
considered
single
county
nonattainment
areas.
While
Monroe
County
may
sometimes
be
considered
part
of
the
Toledo
area
(
along
with
Lucas
and
Wood
Counties,
Ohio),
particularly
when
winds
are
from
the
south,
on
such
occasions
Monroe
County
6­
295
also
contributes
to
violations
in
Wayne
County.
The
Detroit
area
also
contributes
to
violations
in
Monroe
County.
Therefore,
EPA
intends
to
designate
a
single
Detroit
area
nonattainment
area
that
includes
Monroe
County.

There
are
seven
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
that
are
not
a
part
of
another
violating
metropolitan
area.
These
counties
have
relatively
low
emissions,
and
no
other
factors
warrant
including
these
counties
in
the
nonattainment
area.
Therefore,
no
data
are
provided
for
these
counties
under

Discussion:
There
are
two
counties
in
this
metropolitan
area,
Stark
County
and
Carroll
County.
EPA
agrees
with
the
Ohio
EPA
that
the
Canton­
Massillon
area
should
include
only
Stark
County.
The
majority
of
the
emissions
and
population
are
located
in
Stark
County,
which
contains
a
monitor
that
is
violating
the
standard.
Stark
County
also
represents
the
ozone
nonattainment
area
for
the
Canton­
Massillon
Metropolitan
Area.
There
are
four
counties
that
are
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area,
Harrison,
Holmes,
Tuscarawas
and
Wayne
Counties
that
are
not
part
of
other
metropolitan
areas.
Of
these
counties,
only
Wayne
County
required
further
review
due
to
the
population
and
emissions
in
the
county.
Wayne
County
is
adjacent
to
both
the

It
does
not
appear
appropriate
to

this
county
with
the
Canton­

There
is
limited

from
Wayne

Wayne

has
relatively
low

Cincinnati­
Hamilton
Area
Discussion:

There
are
five
Ohio
counties
in
this
Metropolitan
area:
Brown,
Butler,
Clermont,
Hamilton
and
Warren
Counties.
There
are
violating
monitors
in
Butler
and
Hamilton
Counties.
EPA
agrees
with
the
Ohio
EPA's
Option
2
recommendation
to
include
Butler,
Clermont,
Hamilton
and
Warren
Counties
as
nonattainment
for
the
Cincinnati­
Hamilton
nonattainment
area.
Brown
County
is
not
included
because
there
are
minimal
emissions
and
population
in
this
county
relative
to
the
Metropolitan
area.
Brown
County
was
also
excluded
from
the
ozone
nonattainment
area
for
Cincinnati­
Hamilton.
There
are
four
counties
that
are
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
in
Ohio
and
not
included
in
other
metropolitan
areas.
These
counties
are
Preble,
Clinton,
Highland
and
Adams
Counties.
Of
these
adjacent
counties,
Adams
County
merits
further
review
due
to
the
emissions
in
6­
302
the
county.
Adams
County
is
more
likely
to
contribute
to
violations
in
Scioto
County
and
the
Huntington­
Ashland
metropolitan
area,
and
is
addressed
in
connection
with
that
area.

Because
emissions
are
relatively
low

6.5.4.3
Cleveland­
Akron­
Lorain
Area
Discussion:
There
are
violating
monitors
in
Cuyahoga
and
Summit
Counties.
EPA
is
modifying
the
Ohio
EPA
Option
2
recommendation
to
include
Cuyahoga,
Lake,
Lorain,
Medina,
Summit
,
and
Portage
Counties,
and
Ashtabula
Township
in
Ashtabula
County
in
the
Cleveland­
Akron­
Lorain
nonattainment
area.
These
counties
are
all
in
the
ozone
nonattainment
area,
which
will
facilitate
planning
for
both
standards.

In
the
June
2004
letters
from
EPA
to
the
States
responding
to
their
designation
recommendations,
EPA
proposed
the
designation
of
a
number
of
counties
primarily
because
of
high
pollutant
emissions
from
power
plants.
Most
of
these
plants
were
located
in
nearby
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
(
as
defined
either
by
the
1999
or
2003
OMB
metropolitan
area
definitions).
EPA
suggested
that
a
State
could
provide
a
partial
county
boundary
that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.
6­
307
A
number
of
states
responded
to
this
suggestion
with
a
series
of
connected
townships
or
other
unique
boundaries.
Some
states
also
suggested
an
alternative
approach
in
which
partial
county
areas
for
power
plants
in
some
cases
could
be
small
"
free­
standing"
boundaries
that
are
considered
part
of
the
nearby
nonattainment
area.
In
this
way,
it
would
not
be
necessary
to
include
additional
townships
or
other
minor
civil
divisions
comprising
an
odd­
shaped
"
land
connector"
extending
from
the
main
part
of
the
nonattainment
area
to
the
power
plant.

After
considering
these
comments
from
the
States,
EPA
agrees
that
such
an
approach
is
preferable
in
cases
where
a
partial
county
nonattainment
boundary
has
not
already
been
established
for
that
source
(
e.
g.
partial
county
boundaries
recently
established
for
8­
hour
ozone
nonattainment
areas).
For
purposes
of
consistency,
EPA
has
decided
that
freestanding
portions
of
nonattainment
areas
should
be
based
on
a
pre­
existing
boundary
for
a
minor
civil
division
(
such
as
a
township
or
tax
district)
or
other
boundary
defined
for
governmental
use
(
such
as
a
census
block
group
or
census
tract).
Accordingly,
this
kind
of
partial
county
boundary
should
not
be
defined
simply
as
the
boundary
of
the
facility.
Therefore,
Ashtabula
Township
in
Ashtabula
County
is
a
partial
county
area
included
in
the
Cleveland­
Akron­
Lorain
nonattainment
area.

The
State
of
Ohio
submitted
information
on
August
30,
2004,
further
supporting
its
recommendation
that
Geauga
County
has
low
emissions
and
should
not
be
included
in
the
nonattainment
area.
EPA
agrees
with
this
recommendation.
EPA
is
also
designating
most
of
Ashtabula
County
as
nonattainment,
with
the
exception
of
Ashtabula
Township,
which
contains
the
Ashtabula
power
plant
and
a
significant
fraction
of
the
population
of
Ashtabula
County.

There
are
four
counties
adjacent
to
this
metropolitan
area
that
are
not
a
part
of
another
metropolitan
area.
These
are
Erie,
Huron,
Ashland
and
Wayne
Counties.
Emissions
are
relatively
low
for
these
counties.

Because
emissions
are
relatively
low
for
Ashland,
Erie,
Huron,
and
Wayne
Counties,
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
these
counties
nonattainment,

6.5.4.4
Columbus
Area
Discussion:
Franklin
County
contains
a
violating
monitor.
There
are
no
other
monitors
in
the
metropolitan
area.
Ohio
EPA's
Option
2
recommendation
was
to
designate
Delaware,
Fairfield,
Franklin,
and
Licking
Counties
as
nonattainment.
EPA
is
including
these
counties
as
well
as
Franklin
Township
in
Coshocton
County
in
the
Columbus
nonattainment
area.
Pickaway
and
Madison
Counties
are
excluded
from
the
nonattainment
area.
These
two
counties
have
the
lowest
composite
emissions
scores
in
the
metropolitan
area.
Pickaway
County
was
not
included
as
part
of
the
ozone
nonattainment
area,
and
Madison
County
was
included
in
the
ozone
nonattainment
area
because
it
contained
a
monitored
violation
of
the
ozone
standard.
These
two
counties
also
have
the
lowest
population,
population
density
and
vehicle
miles
traveled
in
the
metropolitan
area.
There
are
eleven
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
that
are
not
included
in
another
metropolitan
area.
Most
of
these
counties
have
relatively
low
emissions
and
do
not
warrant
further
discussion.
The
exception
is
Coshocton
County,
which
has
significant
emissions,
principally
from
the
Conesville
power
plant
located
in
Franklin
Township.
EPA
believes
that
these
emissions
are
contributing
to
the
violation
in
the
Columbus
Metropolitan
Area.
By
designating
Franklin
Township
in
Coshocton
County
as
nonattainment,
these
emissions
are
being
captured.

In
the
June
2004
letters
from
EPA
to
the
States
responding
to
their
designation
recommendations,
EPA
proposed
the
designation
of
a
number
of
counties
primarily
because
of
high
pollutant
emissions
from
power
plants.
Most
of
these
plants
were
located
in
nearby
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
(
as
defined
either
by
the
1999
or
2003
OMB
metropolitan
area
definitions).
EPA
suggested
that
a
State
could
provide
a
partial
county
boundary
that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.

A
number
of
states
responded
to
this
suggestion
with
a
series
of
connected
townships
or
other
unique
boundaries.
Some
states
also
suggested
an
alternative
approach
in
which
partial
county
areas
for
power
plants
in
some
cases
could
be
small
"
free­
standing"
boundaries
that
are
considered
part
of
the
nearby
nonattainment
area.
In
this
way,
it
would
not
be
necessary
to
include
additional
townships
or
other
minor
civil
divisions
comprising
an
odd­
shaped
"
land
connector"
extending
from
the
main
part
of
the
nonattainment
area
to
the
power
plant.

After
considering
these
comments
from
the
States,
EPA
agrees
that
such
an
approach
is
preferable
in
cases
where
a
partial
county
nonattainment
boundary
has
not
already
been
established
for
that
source
(
e.
g.
partial
county
boundaries
recently
established
for
8­
hour
ozone
nonattainment
areas).
For
purposes
of
consistency,
EPA
has
decided
that
freestanding
portions
of
nonattainment
areas
should
be
based
on
a
pre­
existing
boundary
for
a
minor
civil
division
(
such
as
a
township
or
tax
district)
or
other
boundary
defined
for
6­
312
governmental
use
(
such
as
a
census
block
group
or
census
tract).
Accordingly,
this
kind
of
partial
county
boundary
should
not
be
defined
simply
as
the
boundary
of
the
facility.
Therefore,
Franklin
Township
in
Coshocton
County
is
a
partial
county
area
included
in
the
Columbus
nonattainment
area.

Because
emissions
are
relatively
low
for
the
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
other
than
Coshocton
County,
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
these
counties
nonattainment,
the

that
would
extend
to
the
relevant
power
plant
to
include
it
in
the
nonattainment
area.

A
number
of
states
responded
to
this
suggestion
with
a
series
of
connected
townships
or
other
unique
boundaries.
Some
states
also
suggested
an
alternative
approach
in
which
partial
county
areas
for
power
plants
in
some
cases
could
be
small
"
free­
standing"
6­
319
boundaries
that
are
considered
part
of
the
nearby
nonattainment
area.
In
this
way,
it
would
not
be
necessary
to
include
additional
townships
or
other
minor
civil
divisions
comprising
an
odd­
shaped
"
land
connector"
extending
from
the
main
part
of
the
nonattainment
area
to
the
power
plant.

After
considering
these
comments
from
the
States,
EPA
agrees
that
such
an
approach
is
preferable
in
cases
where
a
partial
county
nonattainment
boundary
has
not
already
been
established
for
that
source
(
e.
g.
partial
county
boundaries
recently
established
for
8­
hour
ozone
nonattainment
areas).
For
purposes
of
consistency,
EPA
has
decided
that
freestanding
portions
of
nonattainment
areas
should
be
based
on
a
pre­
existing
boundary
for
a
minor
civil
division
(
such
as
a
township
or
tax
district)
or
other
boundary
defined
for
governmental
use
(
such
as
a
census
block
group
or
census
tract).
Accordingly,
this
kind
of
partial
county
boundary
should
not
be
defined
simply
as
the
boundary
of
the
facility.
Therefore,
Monroe
and
Sprigg
Townships
in
Adams
county
and
Cheshire
Township
in
Gallia
County
are
partial
county
areas
included
in
the
Hunting­
Ashland
nonattainment
area.

Emissions
are
relatively
low
for
Pike
and
Jackson
Counties,
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
these
counties
nonattainment.

The

has
indicated
that
selective

equipment
has
been
installed
on
the

However,
EPA
does
not
have
information
as
to

It
is
also
unclear
whether

The
state

installations
at

The

there
is
no
current

for
installation
of
this
equipment,
and
EPA
has
no
information
on
when
these

Thus,
EPA
is
not

Discussion:
Only
one
county

Discussion:
EPA
agrees
with
the
Ohio
EPA's
Option
2
recommendation
to
include
Columbiana,
Mahoning
and
Trumbull
Counties
as
nonattainment.
These
counties
all
have
significant
emissions
contributing
to
the
violations
in
Mahoning
County.
There
are
no
adjacent
counties
to
this
metropolitan

Ohio
that
are
not
a

metropolitan
area.

Ohio's
submittal
of
September
1,
2004,
urges
EPA
to
designate
Columbiana
County
as
attainment.
However,
EPA
finds
that
this
county
contributes
a
significant
percentage
of
the
emissions
in
the
Youngstown­
Warren

In
addition,
this
county
is
surrounded

Factor
Analyses
for
Wisconsin
for
Designation
of
Nonattainment
Areas
for
PM2.5
EPA
is
designating
all
Wisconsin
counties
as
attainment/
unclassifiable.
The
only
area
in
or
near
Wisconsin
with
a
monitored
violation
is
the
Chicago­
Gary­
Kenosha
Area.
Wisconsin
did
not
provide
a
recommended
list
of
designations
in
February
2004.
Therefore,
EPA
sent
the
State
a
letter
on
June
29,
2004,
stating
an
intent
to
designate
Kenosha
County
nonattainment
because
this
county
is
part
of
the
Chicago­
Gary­
Kenosha
metropolitan
area
and
thus
was
presumptively
part
of
the
Chicago­
Gary­
Kenosha
nonattainment
area.
Governor
Doyle
then
sent
EPA
a
letter
on
August
9,
2004,
recommending
that
Kenosha
County
be
designated
attainment.
The
following
discussion
presents
EPA's
rationale
for
its
designations
in
the
Wisconsin
portion
of
the
Chicago­
Gary­
Kenosha
Area.

6.5.5.1
Chicago­
Gary­
Kenosha
Area
Discussion:
EPA
reviewed
the
nine
factors
for
the
thirteen
counties
within
the
metropolitan
area
including
Kenosha
County
in
Wisconsin
as
well
as
all
counties
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area
in
order
to
determine
the
appropriate
nonattainment
area.
There
are
violating
monitors
in
Cook
County,
Illinois
and
in
Lake
County,
Indiana.
Kenosha
County
monitoring
indicates
that
PM2.5
concentrations
in
the
county
are
below
the
standard.
The
counties
in
Illinois
and
Indiana
that
are
being
designated
as
nonattainment
include
90%
of
the
metropolitan
area
emissions.
Kenosha
County
emissions
are
relatively
low
and
will
continue
to
decrease
as
federally
enforceable
SO2
and
NOX
controls
are
installed
at
the
Pleasant
Prairie
Power
Plant
operated
by
WE
Energies.
Furthermore,
prevailing
winds
in
Kenosha
County
are
predominantly
away
from
the
violating
monitors
in
the
metropolitan
area.
Therefore,
EPA
agrees
with
Governor
Jim
Doyle's
recommendation
to
designate
Kenosha
County
as
attainment/
unclassifiable.

In
Wisconsin,
Racine
and
Walworth
Counties
are
adjacent
to
the
metropolitan
area.
Emissions
are
relatively
low
for
these
counties,
and
no
other
factor
warranted
designating
these
counties
nonattainment.
Therefore,
the
following
data
summaries
for
factors
3
through
9
do
not
address
these
counties.

Level
of
control
of
emission
sources
The
Pleasant
Prairie
Power
Plant
operated
by
WE
Energies
accounts
for
approximately
97%
of
the
SO2
and
78%
of
the
NOX
emissions
in
Kenosha
County.
The
facility
is
in
the
process
of
installing
control
equipment
on
its
two
coal­
fired
boilers
which
will
result
in
reductions
in
excess
of
80%
for
SO2
and
70%
for
NOX.
Specifically,
the
facility
is
implementing
the
following
federally
enforceable
controls1:

°
Selective
catalytic
reduction
(
SCR)
was
installed
in
2003
on
one
coal­
fired
boiler,
to
meet
an
allowable
rate
of
0.100
lb/
MMBtu
on
a
30
day
rolling
average.
This
results
in
over
a
70%
reduction
in
NOX,
comparing
2001
actual
emissions
to
allowable
emissions
as
of
January
30,
2004.

°
Contracts
have
been
awarded
for
flue
gas
desulfurization
(
FGD)
to
be
installed
for
SO2
control
on
both
of
the
facility's
coal­
fired
boilers.
Each
unit
will
be
subject
to
an
allowable
rate
of
0.100
lb/
MMBtu
on
a
30
day
rolling
average,
resulting
in
greater
than
an
80%
reduction
comparing
2001
actual
emissions
to
allowable
emissions
as
of
January
30,
2007
for
one
unit
and
January
30,
2008
for
the
other.

A
contract
is
being
finalized
to
install
SCR
on
the
remaining
coal­
fired
boiler.
NOX
emissions
will
be
controlled
to
meet
an
allowable
rate
of
0.10
lb/
MMBtu
on
a
30
day
rolling
average.
This
results
in
greater
than
70%
reductions
when
comparing
2001
actual
emissions
to
allowable
emissions
as
of
January
30,
2007.

1This
level
of
control
is
reflective
of
requirements
found
in
a
consent
decree
that
is
not
yet
final
but
is
under
review
by
a
circuit
court
judge.
The
level
of
control
is
reflected
in
a
federally
enforceable
permit.
