Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan for the 1997 and 2006 Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards; Carbon Monoxide Limited Maintenance Plan for the New York Metropolitan Area; and Repeal of 6 NYCRR Part 203, Indirect Sources of Air Contamination
1. The NYS DEC is submitting to the United State Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) a re-designation request for the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) NAAQS for the New York Metropolitan Area (NYMA) nonattainment area. This 10 county nonattainment area (consisting of New York City and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, and Orange counties) first showed compliance with both standards in 2009 (based on 2007-2009 monitored PM2.5 concentrations), and more recent monitoring data continue to demonstrate attainment of both NAAQS.
As required by the Clean Air Act (CAA), the re-designation request includes a maintenance plan, which provides for continued attainment of the PM2.5 NAAQS in the NYMA through 2025, based on emission inventory projections. Approval of the re-designation request and maintenance plan will allow US EPA to officially re-designate the NYMA as attainment for the annual and 24 hour PM2.5 NAAQS, and thus alleviate additional program requirements faced by states subject to nonattainment designations.
2. The NYS DEC is proposing a revision to the NYMA carbon monoxide (CO) SIP by submitting a limited maintenance plan (LMP) that demonstrates continued attainment of the CO NAAQS until at least 2022. The New York State portion of the NYMA CO nonattainment area (consisting of New York City and Westchester and Nassau counties) was re-designated to attainment of the CO standards effective May 20, 2002. This submission satisfies the requirement of CAA Section 175(A)(b) that obligates the State of New York to submit an additional revision of the CO SIP that demonstrates continued attainment of the CO NAAQS for 10 years after the expiration of the original 10 year period post-re-designation. In order to use the limited maintenance plan (LMP) option, design values must be at or below 85% of exceedance levels of the CO NAAQS. Ambient air quality monitoring data indicates that air quality in the NYMA has met the requirements for submittal of a LMP.
3. The NYS DEC is proposing to repeal 6 NYCRR Part 203 (Part 203), Indirect Sources of Air Contamination, and simultaneously revise 6 NYCRR Parts 200, General Provisions, and Part 621, Uniform Procedures, to remove all references to Part 203.
