5 Middletown Coke Initial permit application submitted in February 2008 (“Netting” permit) Final Permit issued November 2008 Major New Source Review permit application submitted in April 2009 Final Permit issued February 2010

6 Middletown Coke Lime spray dryer baghouse is used to control PM and SO2 emissions Permit requires the installation of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and Volatile Organic HAP ambient monitors at two sites near the plant Community Advisory Panel has been set-up and has met three times already

7 Middletown Coke Permit Appeal – Compliance Certification – Emission Offsets/Credits – Inserting Emission Credits back into Inventory

8 Area Source MACT Standards Over 20 Area Source Standards promulgated during the past three years Places additional requirements on smaller emitting sources May impact sources previously exempt from permitting

9 Area Source MACT Categories Paint Stripping Miscellaneous Surface Coating (Targeted HAP – PM not VOC) All Motor Vehicle Coating Operations Plating and Polishing Metal Fabrication – Various Categories Chemical Manufacturing – Various Categories Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines

10 Area Source MACT Guidance On August 5, 2010 Ohio EPA provided guidance for implementing Area Source MACT’s – Ohio EPA has not accepted delegation of the recent area source MACT standards – Adding a permit term that states an area source MACT may apply – U.S. EPA will be responsible for enforcement of the rule

11 Area Source MACT Guidance – De Minimis determinations are done without considering the area source MACT’s – Area Source MACT does not affect permit exemption determinations in OAC rule 3745-31-03 – DO/LAA are not responsible to perform inspections for area source MACT’s – Initial notifications should be sent to U.S. EPA with Ohio EPA Central Office and DO/LAA copied

12 Area Source MACT Requirements Initial Notification Notification of Compliance Compliance Requirements Annual Compliance Reports http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/eparules.html

15 Ohio Ozone 2008-2010 Truncated values through August 31, 2010 08-10 by County 76 to 100 71 to 75 66 to 70 61 to 65 0 to 60

16 Future Ozone Revision to Ozone Standard postponed until October 31, 2010 Based on the level of standard, further controls may be required – Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance – Transport Rule

17 Monitoring – Ohio & Cincinnati MSA NO2 – CBSA – Near Road – Statewide – Environmental Justice – Regional Administrator Approval SO2 – CBSA: 2 in Cincinnati MSA – Statewide Pb – Source – currently 1 tpy emissions; proposed: 0.5 tpy emissions – CBSA – currently 1; proposed at NCore sites beginning January 1, 2012 – Statewide: currently 13 required, 14 total; proposed: ???? NCore – 3 sites statewide: 2 urban and 1 rural: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton

20 Monitoring - NCore Objectives – Track long term trends Emissions control program accountability Health Assessments for NAAQS review – Support development of emission control strategies Air quality model evaluation – Provide data for attainment/nonattainment determination Real time reporting of data to public/forecasting for AQI – Support scientific studies – Support Ecosystem assessments

21 Monitoring - NCore NCore – National Core Monitoring Sites ~80 sites nationwide both urban and rural Parameters – NOy - trace/precursor – SO 2 - trace/precursor – CO - trace/precursor – Ozone – Pb - proposed to be in effect 1/2012 – PM2.5 - Filter/mass and Continuous – PM2.5 Speciation – PM 10-2.5 – Filter/mass – PM 10-2.5 - Speciation – Met: ws/wd, relative humidity, temperature

22 Additional Monitoring 5 year network assessment – http://www.ladco.org/reports/general/Regional_Network_Assessmen t/index.html http://www.ladco.org/reports/general/Regional_Network_Assessmen t/index.html – PAMS monitoring re-visited Higher design value ozone sites have shifted regionally PAMS –like Monitoring – Regionally testing THC and BTEX monitors – Recommendation to add NOx at one downwind site - Lebanon or Sycamore Annual Ambient Air Monitoring Plan – http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/ams/plan.aspx http://www.epa.ohio.gov/dapc/ams/plan.aspx – http://www.hcdoes.org http://www.hcdoes.org
