Document Number: 2023-08615
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-04-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA, the Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Oklahoma through the Secretary of Energy & Environment on November 7, 2016. The revision was submitted in response to a finding of substantial inadequacy and SIP call as published by EPA on June 12, 2015, concerning excess emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events. EPA is approving the SIP revision and finds that it corrects the inadequacies identified in Oklahoma's SIP in the June 12, 2015 SIP call.
Air Plan Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval; Missouri; Revision to Sulfur Dioxide Control Requirements for Lake Road Generating Facility
Document Number: 2023-08596
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2023-04-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing partial approval and partial disapproval of revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Missouri on February 17, 2022. In its submission, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) requested that revisions to a 2016 Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) for controlling sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions at the Lake Road power plant (hereinafter referred to as ``2016 AOC'') be approved in the SIP. The revised AOC establishes more stringent fuel oil sulfur content limits, removes SO2 emission limits that are no longer needed due to the strengthened fuel oil sulfur requirements, and streamlines reporting requirements. The changes proposed for approval meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA is proposing disapproval of a new provision in the AOC that would potentially allow Lake Road to exceed the fuel oil sulfur content limits on a temporary basis.
