a) This Part sets
				forth the NAAQS adopted by USEPA under section 109 of the CAA (42 USC
				7409) and incorporated into this Part under
				Sections 7.2 and 10(H) of the Act.
b) National primary ambient air quality
				standards (primary NAAQS) define levels of air quality that USEPA has judged
				are necessary, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health.
				National secondary ambient air quality standards (secondary NAAQS) define
				levels of air quality that USEPA has judged necessary to protect the public
				welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant. These
				standards are subject to revision, and additional primary and secondary NAAQS
				may be promulgated as USEPA deems necessary to protect the public health and
				welfare.
c) The promulgation of
				primary and secondary NAAQS must not be considered in any manner to allow
				significant deterioration of existing air quality in any portion of this
				State.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The federal
				regulations at
				40
				CFR 50.14 provide that a state, federal land
				manager, or federal agency can seek USEPA determination that exceedances or
				violations of an NAAQS are directly due to an exceptional event, so that the
				State can exclude affected ambient air quality monitoring data from a
				compliance determination. An exceptional event is a natural event or the result
				of human activity that is unlikely to recur and that is not reasonably
				controllable or preventable that meets specified criteria. The federal rule
				provides that a fireworks display, a prescribed fire, a wildfire, a high wind
				dust event, a stratospheric intrusion, or an aggregate of events on the same
				day can be an exceptional event.
b)
				The Agency must use the applicable procedures of
				40
				CFR 50.14 to obtain a USEPA determination of
				an exceptional event and exclusion of affected ambient air quality monitoring
				data if the Agency determines that the data are influenced by an exceptional
				event and should be excluded from a compliance determination.
c) Ambient air quality monitoring data
				excluded by a USEPA determination pursuant to
				40
				CFR 50.14 is excluded from use for compliance
				determination under this Part.

				and Secondary 24-Hour NAAQS for PM10
1) The level of the 1987 primary and
				secondary 24-hour NAAQS for PM10 is 150
				µg/m3, 24-hour average concentration. The 1987
				primary and secondary NAAQS for PM10 is attained when
				the expected number of days per calendar year with a 24-hour average
				concentration above 150 µg/m3, as determined
				in accordance with appendix K to 40 CFR 50, incorporated by reference in
				Section
				243.108,
				is equal to or less than one.
2)

				Secondary Three-Hour NAAQS for Sulfur Oxides (as SO2)
1) The level of the 1971 secondary three-hour
				NAAQS for sulfur oxides is 0.5 ppm, not to be exceeded more than once per
				calendar year. The three-hour averages must be determined from successive
				non-overlapping three-hour blocks starting at midnight each calendar day and
				must be rounded to one decimal place (fractional parts equal to or greater than
				0.05 ppm must be rounded up).
2)
				Sulfur oxides must be measured in the ambient air as SO2
				by the FRM described in appendix A-2 to
				40 CFR
				50, incorporated by reference in Section
				243.108,
				or by an FEM designated by USEPA and listed in List of Designated Methods,
				incorporated by reference in Section 243.108.
3) To demonstrate attainment, the
				second-highest three-hour average must be based upon hourly data that are at
				least 75 percent complete in each calendar quarter. A three-hour block average
				must be considered valid only if all three hourly averages for the three-hour
				period are available. If only one or two hourly averages are available, but the
				three-hour average would exceed the level of the standard when zeros are
				substituted for the missing values, subject to the rounding rule of subsection
				(b)(1), this must be considered a valid three-hour average. In all cases, the
				three-hour block average must be computed as the sum of the hourly averages
				divided by three.
BOARD NOTE: This subsection (a) is derived from
				  40
				  CFR 50.5.
