AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
Section 111(d)/129 Plan - Proposed Revision
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia's § 111(d)/129 plan for commercial/industrial solid waste incinerators (CISWIs). A § 111(d)/129 plan is developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to implement and enforce emissions guidelines for solid waste incineration units. The Commonwealth intends to submit the plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act.
Regulations affected: The regulations of the board affected by this action are as follows: Documents incorporated by reference, 9VAC5-20-21 of 9VAC5-20 (General Provisions); and Emission Standards for Commercial/Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (Rule 4-45), Article 45 (9VAC5-40-6250 et seq.) of 9VAC5-40 (Existing Stationary Sources).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the overall plan and on the issue of whether any regulations or inventory information included in the plan should be submitted to EPA as part of the plan.
Public comment period: September 23, 2013, to October 23, 2013.
Public hearing: A public hearing will be held in Second Floor Conference Room A, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, VA, at 9 a.m. on October 23, 2013, to accept comments concerning the proposed plan.
Public comment stage: The public comment period and hearing are being conducted to satisfy the public participation requirements of 40 CFR 60.23(c) and (d). The regulations included in this plan have been adopted by the State Air Pollution Control Board in accordance with the Code of Virginia and with public participation as required by the Code of Virginia, the federal Clean Air Act, and the Code of Federal Regulations. Because the regulations have been adopted, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issues cited above and not on the content of the regulations.
Description of proposal: EPA amended the designated pollutant emission guidelines for CISWIs in the Federal Register of February 7, 2013, (78 FR 9112). In order to implement the guidelines, it was necessary for Virginia to amend the state regulation (Rule 4-45) containing the federal provisions and to update the most current version of 40 CFR Part 60 listed in 9VAC5-20-21 (Documents incorporated by reference). In addition to affected regulations, the proposed plan revision contains an updated inventory of affected facilities.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations and not any provision of state law. The proposal will be submitted as a § 111(d)/129 plan revision under §§ 111(d) and 129 of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 60.23(c) and (d). It is planned to submit all provisions of the proposal as a Commonwealth of Virginia § 111(d)/129 plan with the exception of state-only enforceable provisions, which are specifically identified in the plan.
How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Both oral and written comments are accepted at the public hearing. DEQ prefers that comments be provided in writing, along with any supporting documents or exhibits. All materials received are part of the public record. DEQ will accept written comments through October 23, 2013.

State Implementation Plan Proposed Revision - Proposed Five Year Progress Report Regarding Visibility Impairment in Federal Class I Areas
Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is seeking comments and announcing a public hearing on a proposed five-year progress report regarding visibility impairment in Federal Class I areas. Virginia is home to two such areas: Shenandoah National Park and James River Face Wilderness. The Commonwealth intends to submit the report as a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) in accordance with the requirements of §§ 110(a) and 169A of the federal Clean Air Act. The SIP is the plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comments on the progress report, on the conclusion that the Virginia Class I areas are on track to meet their reasonable progress goals by 2018, and on the conclusion that no additional controls are necessary in this planning period.
Public comment period: September 23, 2013, to October 23, 2013.
Public hearing: A public hearing will be conducted on October 22, 2013, in Conference Room A, Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, VA at 10 a.m. Directions may be found at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Locations/CentralOffice.aspx.
Description of proposal: Virginia is required by 40 CFR 51.308(g) to submit to EPA and adopt into the Virginia SIP a report evaluating progress toward the reasonable progress goals provided in Virginia's Regional Haze Plan. The report must contain a description of the status of the implementation of all measures included in the plan, a summary of emission reductions, an assessment of visibility conditions and changes, and other analyses. Additionally, the report must contain an assessment of whether the current plan elements and strategies are sufficient to enable Virginia to meet established reasonable progress goals for visibility improvement. The proposed progress report provides the required analyses, demonstrates that Virginia Class I areas are on track to meet the reasonable progress goals outlined in Virginia's Regional Haze Plan, and concludes that no additional controls are necessary for this planning period.
Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102). The proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under §§ 110(a) and 169A of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104.
