2021 Maine Revised Statutes|TITLE 38: WATERS AND NAVIGATION|Chapter 4: PROTECTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF AIR|38 §585. Establishment of emission standards

 §585. Establishment of emission standards The board may establish and may amend standards, herein called "emission standards", limiting and regulating in a just and equitable manner the amount and type of air contaminants which may be emitted to the ambient air within a region. Such emission standards shall be designed to prevent air pollution and to achieve and maintain the ambient air quality standards within the region in which applicable.   [PL 1971, c. 618, §12 (AMD).]Prior to the establishment or amendment of emission standards, the board shall offer an opportunity for a public hearing in accordance with the Maine Administrative Procedure Act, Title 5, chapter 375. The board shall solicit and consider all available information concerning the ambient air quality standards of the region; the existing emissions of air contaminants within the region, their nature, amount and sources; the effect of the emissions upon the ambient air quality standards of the region; the availability, effectiveness and cost of air pollution control apparatus designed to prevent and control air pollution caused by such emissions, and such other evidence as in the board's judgment will enable it to determine and establish emission standards for the region which will achieve and maintain the ambient air quality standards therein.   [PL 1983, c. 566, §37 (AMD).]The board shall by rule establish or may amend emission standards limiting and regulating the amount and type of air contaminants that may be emitted to the ambient air of a region to achieve the goals set forth in this section. The rule must state the date upon which the standards or any individual standard becomes effective. In establishing the date, the board shall consider the degree of air pollution existing within the region, the length of time necessary to inform persons affected by the establishment of these standards that these standards exist, the time needed by the board to implement effective controls and the time needed by persons affected to design and install air pollution control apparatus to comply with the new standards.   [PL 1989, c. 144, §2 (AMD); PL 1989, c. 890, Pt.

 §585-C. Hazardous air pollutant emissions inventory 1.  Findings and purpose.  The Legislature finds that advancing scientific knowledge increasingly demonstrates that many air pollutants may reasonably be anticipated to result in an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness to the residents of the State. Accordingly, the Legislature concludes that it is in the public interest to identify the extent of potential health risks.   [PL 1983, c. 835, §2 (NEW).] 2.  Emissions inventory.  The commissioner shall carry out and maintain an inventory of the sources in the State emitting any substance that may be a hazardous air pollutant.   A. This inventory must include the following data for each of those substances:   (1) The number of sources;   (2) The location of each source or category of source;   (3) The quantity emitted by each source or category of source;   (4) The total emissions; and   (5) The percentage of total emissions generated by sources with existing air licenses.   [PL 1989, c. 890, Pt. A, §40 (AFF); PL 1989, c. 890, Pt. B, §160 (AMD).]B. In conducting this inventory, the commissioner may rely upon questionnaires or other reasonable methods, including those established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, for the purpose of carrying out this duty as promptly and efficiently as possible. The commissioner shall clearly indicate on any requests for information the minimum amount of emissions that must be reported. The commissioner may not require reporting of this information more frequently than every other year.   [PL 1995, c. 313, §1 (AMD).]C. In carrying out this inventory, the commissioner may require persons to provide information on forms supplied by the commissioner. Refusal to provide the information subjects the person of whom it is requested to a civil penalty of not more than $100 for each day's delay. Submission of false information constitutes a violation of section 349, subsection 3, in addition to being subject to remedies otherwise available by law.   [PL 1989, c. 890, Pt.

 §585-K. Greenhouse gas emission standards; moratorium 1.  Definitions.  As used in this section, unless the context otherwise indicates, the following terms have the following meanings.   A. "Coal gasification facility" means a facility that uses a process other than the biological degradation of waste to convert coal or coal-derived materials into a synthesis gas or a product made from synthesis gas, including, without limitation, electricity, liquid fuels and chemicals.   [PL 2009, c. 306, §1 (AMD).]B. "Greenhouse gas" has the same meaning as set forth in section 574.   [PL 2007, c. 584, §1 (NEW).][PL 2009, c. 306, §1 (AMD).] 2.  Greenhouse gas emission standards.  The board shall establish by rule, and may thereafter amend, standards for the emission of greenhouse gases derived from coal gasification facilities that commence operations after August 1, 2008. Rules established pursuant to this subsection are major substantive rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2‑A.   [PL 2007, c. 584, §1 (NEW).] 3.  Moratorium.  Between the effective date of this subsection and the earlier of the effective date of rules authorized pursuant to subsection 2 and August 1, 2011, the department may not issue any license or permit to a coal gasification facility that is not licensed under this chapter prior to August 1, 2008.   [PL 2007, c. 584, §1 (NEW).] 4.  Net emissions and carbon capture and sequestration.  In calculating greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide that is captured and used for a commercial purpose or that is permanently disposed of in geological formations in compliance with all applicable laws and rules may not be counted as emissions from the emission source.   [PL 2007, c. 584, §1 (NEW).] 5.  Air emission license requirements apply.  The licensing requirements in section 590 and the prohibition in section 591 apply with regard to the standards established by the board pursuant to subsection 2.
