Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; New Jersey; Infrastructure SIP for Interstate Transport Requirements for the 2006 PM10
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the portions of New Jersey's State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submittal regarding infrastructure requirements for interstate transport of pollution with respect to the 2006 particulate matter of 10 microns ([mu]m) or less (PM10), 2008 lead, 2010 nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and 2011 carbon monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Indiana RACT SIP and Negative Declaration for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry Control Techniques Guidelines
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a ``Negative Declaration'' for the State of Indiana regarding the Control Techniques Guideline (CTG) for the Oil and Gas Industry issued by EPA on October 20, 2016. Indiana has evaluated areas for which the Oil and Natural Gas Industry CTG must be applied under the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). These areas include Lake and Porter counties, which are part of the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI Moderate nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Therefore, reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements would be applicable for sources covered by the Oil and Natural Gas Industry CTG in Lake and Porter counties. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) did not find any covered sources in Lake and Porter counties. Approval of this Negative Declaration supports EPA's February 13, 2019 approval of Indiana's volatile organic compounds (VOC) RACT Certification for Lake and Porter Counties. EPA proposed to approve this ``Negative Declaration'' on June 26, 2019 and received one set of comments.
Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Second Maintenance Plan for 1997 Ozone NAAQS
Pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving as a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP), the State's plan for maintaining the 1997 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) through the end of the second 10-year maintenance period. On June 20, 2019, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management submitted the State's plan for maintaining the 1997 ozone NAAQS for the Indianapolis, La Porte County, and South Bend-Elkhart areas and the Indiana portions of the Chicago- Gary-Lake County, IL-IN (Chicago), Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-KY-IN (Cincinnati), and Louisville, KY-IN (Louisville) multi-state areas. EPA proposed to approve the submission on September 25, 2019, and received no comments. This action makes certain commitments related to maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS in these areas federally enforceable as part of the Indiana SIP.
Test Methods and Performance Specifications for Air Emission Sources
This action proposes corrections and updates to regulations for source testing of emissions under various rules. This proposed rule includes corrections to inaccurate testing provisions, updates to outdated procedures, and approved alternative procedures that provide testers enhanced flexibility. The revisions will improve the quality of data but will not impose new substantive requirements on source owners or operators.
