Document Number: 2010-26964
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-10-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to approve amendments to the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) relating to the consolidation of Ohio's Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) into Ohio's State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the Clean Air Act. On April 8, 2009, and August 11, 2009, Ohio EPA adopted amendments to various rules in the OAC to consolidate the state's AAQS. On September 10, 2009, Ohio EPA requested from EPA approval of amendments to OAC with the intent to consolidate Ohio's AAQS into a single rule to provide greater accessibility for the regulated community and to the citizens of Ohio. EPA is proposing to approve the request because the revisions clarify the state's rules and thus better serve the purpose of providing for meeting these standards.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Ohio; Particulate Matter Standards
Document Number: 2010-26883
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-10-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on August 22, 2008, to revise the Ohio State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air Act. The State has submitted revisions to twelve rules and rescinded one rule in Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745-17, ``Particulate Matter Standards.'' The revisions were submitted by Ohio EPA to satisfy the State's 5-year review requirements. The particulate matter (PM) standards contain the particulate emission control requirements that have been necessary to attain and maintain the 2006 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM in the State. EPA is proposing to approve the revisions to nine of the OAC 3745- 17 rules. EPA proposes approving only a portion of Rule 7, while not acting on the portion providing a partial exemption from opacity limits for a lime kiln in Woodville, Ohio. We are proposing to conditionally approve Rule 11 based on a commitment by Ohio to address EPA's concerns with the large item size exemptions. EPA is not acting on Rule 3, regarding opacity measurement methods. Lastly, EPA is proposing to approve the rescission of Rule 5 from the Ohio SIP.
