ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION[567]
Notice of Intended Action
Twenty-five interested persons, a governmental subdivision, an agency or association of 25 or more persons may demand an oral presentation hereon as provided in Iowa Code section 17A.4(1)"b."
Notice is also given to the public that the Administrative Rules Review Committee may, on its own motion or on written request by any individual or group, review this proposed action under section 17A.8(6) at a regular or special meeting where the public or interested persons may be heard.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 455B.133, the Environmental Protection Commission (Commission) hereby gives Notice of Intended Action to amend Chapter 20, "Scope of Title—Definitions," Chapter 22, "Controlling Pollution," Chapter 23, "Emission Standards for Contaminants," Chapter 25, "Measurement of Emissions," Chapter 30, "Fees," Chapter 33, "Special Regulations and Construction Permit Requirements for Major Stationary Sources—Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality," and Chapter 34, "Provisions for Air Quality Emissions Trading Programs," Iowa Administrative Code.
The purposes of this proposed rule making are to:
1.Rescind unnecessary rules and update other rules to provide regulatory certainty and flexibility. The amendments implement a portion of the Department of Natural Resources' (Department's) five-year review of rules plan to accomplish the requirements of Iowa Code section 17A.7(2).
2.Offer uniform rules by making changes that match federal regulations and eliminate inconsistencies between federal regulations and state rules. By adopting federal updates into state administrative rules, the Commission is ensuring that Iowa's air quality rules are no more stringent than federal regulations. Additionally, the updates allow the Department, rather than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to be the primary agency to implement the air quality requirements in Iowa, thereby allowing the Department to provide compliance assistance and outreach to affected facilities.
Item 1 amends rule 567—20.2(455B), definition of "EPA reference method," to adopt the most current EPA methods for measuring air pollutant emissions (stack testing and continuous monitoring). On August 30, 2016, EPA revised the reference methods in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 51, 60, 61 and 63 to eliminate outdated procedures, add alternative testing methods, make technical corrections, and correct typographical and grammatical errors. Several of the updated test methods in Parts 51, 60, 61 and 63 are adopted by reference in 40 CFR Part 75 for the Acid Rain Program. Adopting EPA's updates ensures that state reference methods match current federal reference methods and are no more stringent than the federal methods. Further, the alternative test methods offer regulatory flexibility to affected facilities. The amendments in Items 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are proposed concurrently with this amendment to similarly reflect updates to EPA testing and monitoring methods as the methods apply to specific air quality programs.
Item 1 also updates the definition of "volatile organic compounds" (VOC) to reflect recent changes that EPA made to the Federal definition of VOC. On August 1, 2016, a final regulation was published in the Federal Register to exclude the compound 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) Ethane (HFE-347pcf2) from the federal definition because this compound makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. In Item 19, an amendment to subrule 33.3(1) is proposed concurrently with the amendment in Item 1 to similarly update the definition of "volatile organic compounds" for the specific air quality programs.
Item 2 amends paragraph 22.1(2)"i" to correct a cross reference to a definition. The current cross reference is to paragraph 22.5(1)"f," which no longer exists. All provisions that were previously included in rule 567—22.5(455B) are now in Chapter 31. The cross reference is revised to refer to the correct definition included in subrule 31.3(1).
Item 3 amends paragraph 22.1(2)"r" to make updates to the exemption for internal combustion engines with a brake horsepower rating of less than 400. The amendment clarifies that owners and operators of engines that are not required to submit to the Department an engine registration may qualify for this exemption. The revision provides certainty to affected facilities and reduces the regulatory burden of completing an unneeded engine registration to qualify for this exemption.
Item 4 amends subparagraph 22.1(2)"w"(1) to correct an error in the eligibility criteria for the "small unit" exemption. The small unit exemption is available as an alternative to obtaining a construction permit for owners and operators of emission units that emit less than certain thresholds of specific air pollutants. For an emission unit to qualify for the small unit exemption, the unit must emit less than the emission thresholds for each of the pollutants listed. However, the list of criteria has the word "or" between the last two items in the list, which could lead affected owners and operators to conclude that an emission unit does not need to meet all of the criteria in the list.
The intent of the small unit exemption is that the emission unit must emit less than each of the emission thresholds included in the list. Further, the Department has implemented the exemption in this manner since its adoption. It is therefore appropriate to revise this exemption to include the word "and" rather than "or" between the provision for "PM2.5" and the one for "hazardous air pollutants" in the list of air pollutants. This amendment reflects the original intent and ongoing implementation of the small unit exemption and provides clarity to owners and operators that may wish to use this exemption.
Item 5 amends the provisions for permit by rule for spray booths specified in paragraph 22.8(1)"a." The amendment allows powder coat material to be used in paint booths without being considered "sprayed material," provided the powder coating is applied in an indoor-vented spray booth equipped with filters or an overspray powder recovery system. The Department has evaluated the particulate emissions from powder coating and has determined that emissions occurring under the conditions specified in the permit by rule would not contribute to exceedances of the ambient air quality standards for particulate matter. The amendment excludes powder coatings from the definition of "sprayed material" for purposes of the permit by rule.
Item 6 amends rule 567—22.100(455B) to update the definition of "EPA reference method" for the Title V operating permit (Title V) program to adopt the most current federal reference methods for stack tests and continuous emissions monitoring in the same manner as described above for Item 1. This amendment implements a portion of the Department's five-year review of rules plan by ensuring that the state rules for the Title V program, specifically the test methods, are consistent with federal requirements and are no more stringent than federal requirements.
Item 7 amends subparagraph 22.103(2)"b"(6) to revise the criteria for an emergency engine rated at less than 400 horsepower to be considered an insignificant activity for the Title V program. The proposed amendment clarifies that engines subject to federal new source performance standards (NSPS) or national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) are not considered insignificant activities for purposes of the Title V program because the federal standards impose applicable requirements for emergency engines.
Item 8 updates the provisions for Title V emissions inventories in subrule 22.106(2) to eliminate the requirement to submit specific forms for the inventory and to state instead that the emissions inventory shall be submitted on forms specified by the Department. The amendment provides needed flexibility for the Department to streamline the emissions inventory forms and submittal methods.
Item 9 amends subrule 22.107(6) to update the public notice requirements for the Title V program to reflect changes to federal regulations that EPA finalized on October 18, 2016. Previously, EPA required that public notice be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation where the source being permitted is located or in a state publication. EPA revised the public notice provisions to allow for posting of the public comment period on a website identified by the permitting authority (the Department). EPA's revisions also require that permitting authorities be consistent in the method of providing public notice, although other means to provide adequate notice may be used if necessary. To reflect EPA's changes, this amendment specifies that the Department will provide public notice by posting on a public website identified by the Department, while using other means if necessary to ensure adequate notice to the affected public.
Item 10 amends rule 567—22.120(455B) to update the test methods specified in 40 CFR Part 74 for the Acid Rain Program in the same manner as described above for Item 1.
Items 11, 12, 13 and 14 affect new source performance standards, hazardous air pollutant standards, and emission standards for existing sources. The U.S. Clean Air Act (CAA) obligates the EPA to issue standards to control air pollution. Two categories of standards, the NSPS and NESHAP, set standards and deadlines for industrial, commercial or institutional facilities to meet uniform standards for equipment operation and air pollutant emissions.
NESHAP regulations differ depending on whether a facility is a "major source" or an "area source." Major sources are typically larger facilities and have potential emissions of 10 tons or more per year of any single hazardous air pollutant (also known as "HAP" or "air toxics") or 25 tons or more of any combination of HAPs. Area sources have potential air toxics emissions at less than the major source thresholds. Although area sources generally emit less air toxics than major sources, area sources are more numerous and may collectively cause adverse impacts to public health.
Because the NSPS and NESHAP proposed for adoption by reference are federal regulations, affected sources are subject to the federal requirements regardless of whether the Commission adopts the standards into state rules. However, the CAA allows a state or local agency to implement NSPS and NESHAP as a "delegated authority." Upon state adoption of the standards, the Department becomes the delegated authority for the specific NSPS or NESHAP and is the primary implementation agency in Iowa. Two local agencies, Polk County and Linn County, implement these standards within their counties. Iowa's rules, including all compliance deadlines, are identical to the federal NSPS and NESHAP as of a specific date. With implementation authority, the state and local agencies have the ability to make applicability determinations for facilities, rather than referring these decisions to EPA.
Emission standards for existing sources (known as Emission Guidelines) are similar to NSPS, but direct states to set emission standards by certain deadlines for specific existing sources. EPA's Emission Guidelines provide "model rules" that states may adopt by reference in setting the requirements for existing sources. EPA requires states to establish Emission Guidelines that are at least as rigorous as EPA's model rules. As it does with NSPS and NESHAP, the Commission adopts Emission Guidelines by reference so that the requirements are no more or less stringent than federal requirements. If the Commission does not adopt the Emission Guidelines, EPA will impose a federal plan with emission standards for affected facilities. Because EPA may set standards with compliance deadlines that are earlier than those allowed under state plans, it is generally advantageous for the state to adopt these guidelines.
Stakeholders affected by NSPS, NESHAP and Emission Guidelines typically prefer for the Department, rather than the EPA, to be the primary implementation authority in Iowa. Upon adoption of the new and amended standards, the Department will work with affected facilities to provide compliance assistance, as needed. Additionally, affected area sources that are small businesses are eligible for free assistance from the small business assistance technical program.
Item 11 amends subrule 23.1(2) to adopt new and revised NSPS, as described below.
The text in parentheses in each section heading below indicates the applicable subpart(s) in 40 CFR Part 60 and the corresponding paragraph(s) in subrule 23.1(2).
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (Subpart WWW; paragraph 23.1(2)"rrr")
The Commission is proposing to revise the NSPS for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills to make clear that, because of current litigation filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit), Iowa is not adopting the recent federal amendments published in the Federal Register on August 29, 2016. Consequently, the proposed revision will specify the publication date for the federal NSPS that is currently adopted into the Iowa Administrative Code in 23.1(2)"rrr" for MSW landfills. (See also Item 14.)
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (Subpart CCCC; paragraph 23.1(2)"vvv")
The Commission is proposing to adopt by reference several amendments that EPA made over a five-year period to the NSPS for commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators (CISWI). The Commission is now proposing adoption of these federal amendments because EPA's reconsiderations and the litigation of the amendments have recently been resolved. The updated NSPS requirements affect CISWI that commenced construction after June 4, 2010, or CISWI that commenced modification or reconstruction after August 7, 2013. Incinerators constructed, reconstructed or modified prior to the dates EPA specified in Subpart CCCC are covered under the Emission Guidelines in Subpart DDDD. (See Item 14.)
Background: On March 21, 2011, EPA issued revisions to Subparts CCCC and DDDD to control emissions of mercury, dioxin/furans, lead, cadmium, particulate matter, and other pollutants from CISWI units. EPA's revisions specify that commercial or industrial incinerators or boilers that burn solid waste are subject to the NSPS and Emission Guidelines for CISWI.
On February 7, 2013, EPA further revised the CISWI regulations in conjunction with amending the solid waste regulations for nonhazardous secondary materials. EPA's updates in 2013 provided revised criteria for determining whether materials must be classified as fuel or as solid waste. EPA also streamlined the process for petitioning for classification of materials as fuel (for materials not already designated as fuel in the standard).
On May 15, 2014, the D.C. Circuit granted EPA's request for a partial voluntary remand of the NSPS so that EPA could justify the statistical analyses used in setting the standards. EPA then granted reconsideration on January 21, 2015, of several aspects of the 2013 final amendments.
On June 23, 2016, EPA issued final amendments to the CISWI NSPS and Emission Guidelines to address the remaining reconsideration issues. The recent amendments address four issues:
1. Revision of the definition of "CEMS data during startup and shutdown periods": EPA revised the definition to be specific to each subcategory of affected units, including boilers, cement kilns and small remote incinerators, and to be consistent with requirements for similar units that are covered under other NSPS or NESHAP.
2. Particulate matter limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory: EPA revised the emission limits to be based on the average of the stack testing results, rather than the previously used individual test results, which resulted in lower emission standards for both new and existing waste-burning kilns.
3. Fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery units: EPA incorporated a fuel variability factor to determine the emission limits for several pollutants.
4. Definition of "kiln": EPA revised the definition of "kiln" to be consistent with the definition in the NESHAP for Portland cement manufacturing. The revisions include changes to compliance demonstrations and monitoring requirements to be consistent with those in the Portland cement manufacturing NESHAP.
The final federal amendments, published on June 23, 2016, are not subject to further petitions for reconsideration or judicial review. Consequently, the Commission is proposing to adopt by reference the federal amendments to the CISWI NSPS, as finalized and currently in effect, that occurred from March 21, 2011, through June 23, 2016. (See Item 14 for the proposed adoption of the CISWI Emission Guidelines.)
Affected facilities: The Department is aware of one facility that is considered "new" under the NSPS and subject to the NSPS requirements. Under the NSPS, compliance is required upon start-up of the CISWI unit. Existing facilities may potentially be affected by the amended NSPS, should they undergo reconstruction or modification and continue to combust solid waste.
Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (Subpart IIII, paragraph 23.1(2)"yyy")
On July 7, 2016, EPA finalized amendments to the NSPS to allow manufacturers to design engines so that operators can override performance inducements related to the emission control system for stationary compression ignition internal combustion engines. The amendments apply only to engines operating during emergencies in which the operation of the engine or equipment is needed to protect human life. The amendments also require that the engine comply with federal Tier 1 emission standards during such emergencies. These federal amendments are adopted by reference through revision of the adoption date specified in the introductory paragraph of subrule 23.1(2).
Test Methods (Amendments throughout Part 60)
The amendment in Item 11 also adopts the changes EPA made to the NSPS test methods, as explained in the description above for Item 1. The federal amendments are adopted by reference through revision of the adoption date specified in the introductory paragraph of subrule 23.1(2).
Item 12 amends subrule 23.1(3) to adopt revisions to the NESHAP standards in 40 CFR Part 61 for EPA's updates to test methods, as explained above for Item 1. The federal amendments are adopted by reference through revision of the adoption date specified in the introductory paragraph of subrule 23.1(3).
Item 13 amends subrule 23.1(4) to adopt, and in one case, to rescind adoption of, federal amendments to the NESHAP for source categories, as described below.
The text in parentheses in each section heading below indicates the applicable subpart(s) in 40 CFR Part 63 and the corresponding paragraph(s) in subrule 23.1(4).
Ferroalloys Production (Subpart XXX; paragraph 23.1(4)"bx") - Rescission
This NESHAP applies to new and existing major sources of ferroalloys production of ferromanganese and silocomanganese. Iowa has no facilities affected by this NESHAP and is unlikely to have any affected facilities in the future. The Commission is therefore proposing to rescind adoption of this NESHAP.
The rescission will accomplish the Department's goal of eliminating unnecessary rules and will implement a portion of the Department's five-year review of rules plan to meet the requirements of Iowa Code section 17A.7(2). Removing unnecessary provisions makes the rules more accessible and understandable for regulated entities and for the public. If an affected facility should plan to locate to Iowa in the future, the Department will evaluate at that time whether to request adoption of the standard.
Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Boilers at Area Sources (Subpart JJJJJJ; paragraph 23.1(4)"ej")
The Commission is proposing to adopt by reference the original NESHAP and subsequent amendments that EPA finalized over a five-year period that affect new and existing industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) boilers located at area sources. The Commission is now proposing adoption of these federal amendments because EPA's reconsiderations and the litigation of the amendments have recently been resolved.
Background: EPA published the NESHAP for ICI boilers at area sources on March 21, 2011, and subsequently revised the NESHAP on February 1, 2013, and on September 14, 2016. The NESHAP, also known as the Area Source Boiler Rule, exempts from this rule all boilers meeting the definition of natural gas-fired boilers, temporary boilers, and residential boilers. Additionally, new and existing boilers burning solid or liquid fuels that are very small, have limited or seasonal use, or burn only ultra-low-sulfur liquid fuel or burn primarily biomass, are not subject to emission limits and have only work practice standards, such as a one-time energy assessment and a one-time or periodic tune up (every five years). Other new and existing boilers burning coal, biomass or liquid fuels may need to meet numeric emission limits for some air toxics and have required testing or monitoring, depending on the type of boiler and specific fuel burned. Additionally, EPA's revised standards provide alternative compliance methods and more flexible monitoring for some boilers.
Prior to issuing the final amendments in September 2016, EPA requested a voluntary remand (without vacatur) of some provisions of the Area Source Boiler Rule. On July 26, 2016, the D.C. Circuit granted EPA's request and issued a remand without vacatur. The remand requires that EPA provide data to justify certain decisions that resulted in some requirements in the final federal regulations.
Affected facilities and compliance dates: Based on required initial notifications submitted to the Department, the Department estimates that 13 facilities in Iowa have boilers affected by the Area Source Boiler Rule. All of these facilities are required to comply only with work practice standards (rather than emission limits) by the NESHAP compliance date of March 21, 2014, or upon start-up of the affected boiler, whichever date occurs later. At this time, the Department is not aware of any new or existing boilers subject to emission limits and associated monitoring specified in the NESHAP.
Justification for proceeding with adoption despite the current remand: None of the provisions in the final rules are stayed or delayed. Further, although the remand may impact emission standards and monitoring requirements in the NESHAP, none of the facilities in Iowa currently subject to the NESHAP are affected by emissions limits or monitoring requirements. Lastly, the compliance date for affected existing facilities to comply with work practice standards was March 21, 2014, so facilities have already been required to apply with the NESHAP for over three years.
Upon adoption of the Area Source Boiler Rule, the Department will work with affected facilities to provide compliance assistance as needed. Additionally, affected area sources that are small businesses are eligible for free assistance from the small business technical assistance program.
Test Methods (Amendments throughout Part 63)
The amendment to subrule 23.1(4) also adopts the changes EPA made to the NESHAP test methods, as explained in the description above for Item 1. The federal amendments are adopted by reference through revision of the adoption date specified in the introductory paragraph of the subrule.
Item 14 amends subrule 23.1(5) to revise adoption of the federal Emission Guidelines. As explained in more detail above, EPA's Emission Guidelines are set forth in 40 CFR Part 60 and direct states to set emission standards by certain deadlines for specific existing sources. EPA's Emission Guidelines provide "model rules" that states may adopt by reference in setting the requirements for existing sources. As with the NSPS and NESHAP, the Commission proposes to adopt EPA's Emission Guidelines by reference so that the requirements are no more or less stringent than federal requirements.
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (Subparts Cc and WWW; paragraph 23.1(5)"a")
As with the proposed amendment to the NSPS for MSW landfills as described in Item 11, the Commission is proposing to revise the Emission Guidelines for existing MSW landfills to make clear that Iowa is not adopting the recent federal amendments published in the Federal Register on August 29, 2016. As with the NSPS, the recent amendments to the Emission Guidelines for existing MSW landfills are being litigated in the D.C. Circuit. Consequently, the proposed amendment will specify the publication date for the federal Emission Guidelines that are currently adopted into the Iowa Administrative Code in 23.1(5)"a" for existing MSW landfills.
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (CISWI) (Subpart DDDD; paragraph 23.1(5)"c")
Similar to its proposed adoption of amendments in Item 11 as described above, the Commission is proposing to adopt by reference several amendments that EPA made over a five-year period to the Emission Guidelines for existing CISWI. Concurrently with publishing the final amendments for the NSPS described in Item 11, EPA published similar amendments to the Emission Guidelines. As noted for adoption of the NSPS, the Commission is now proposing adoption of these amendments because EPA's reconsiderations and the litigation of the amended Emission Guidelines were recently resolved. The updated Emission Guidelines affect existing CISWI that commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but no later than June 4, 2010, or that commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 1, 2001, but no later than August 7, 2013.
Background: The chronology, final amendments, court actions, and rule requirements for the federal Emission Guidelines for CISWI (Subpart DDDD) are the same as those described above in Item 11 for the NSPS (Subpart CCCC), with the exception of the applicability dates for affected units and the compliance deadlines. The applicability dates denoting "existing units" are described at the end of the preceding paragraph. The compliance deadline for existing CISWI under the Emission Guidelines, if adopted into the Iowa Administrative Code, is February 7, 2018.
The final federal amendments to Subpart DDDD published on June 23, 2016, are not subject to further petitions for reconsideration or judicial review. Consequently, the Commission is proposing to adopt by reference the federal amendments to the Emission Guidelines for CISWI, as finalized and currently in effect, that occurred from March 21, 2011, through June 23, 2016. If the Commission does not adopt the Emission Guidelines for CISWI, EPA will impose a Federal Plan and affected CISWI will still be required to comply with the same requirements specified in the Emission Guidelines by February 7, 2018, as implemented and enforced by EPA.
Affected facilities: The Department is currently aware of nine facilities that are subject or potentially subject to the Emission Guidelines. However, only one facility has definitively indicated that it will continue to combust solid waste after February 7, 2018. The other facilities either have idled the affected units, are considering ceasing the burning of solid waste, or may permanently decommission the affected units.
Test Methods (Amendments throughout Part 60)
The amendment in Item 14 adopts the changes EPA made to the Part 60 test methods, as explained in the description above for Item 1, which are applicable to the Emission Guidelines adopted in subrule 23.1(5). The federal amendments are adopted by reference through revision of the adoption date specified in the introductory paragraph of subrule 23.1(5).
Item 15 amends subrule 25.1(9) to adopt the revised federal methods for emissions testing and monitoring, as described above for Item 1. The updates will make certain that only current federal test methods are used to demonstrate compliance with permit conditions and that required test methods are no more stringent than federal methods.
Item 16 amends rule 567—25.2(455B) to adopt federal updates for monitoring methods under the Acid Rain Program, as noted above for Item 1. This update ensures that state air quality rules for testing and monitoring are consistent and match federal regulations.
Item 17 amends paragraph 30.4(2)"b" to update the provisions for Title V emissions fees and documentation to eliminate the requirement that specific forms be submitted with the fees and to instead state that the fees shall be submitted on forms specified by the Department. The revision is consistent with the changes proposed in Item 8 for submitting emissions inventory forms and provides needed flexibility for the Department to streamline the fee and form submittal methods.
Item 18 amends the introductory paragraph of rule 567—33.1(455B) to reflect recent changes that EPA made to the federal requirements for the PSD program. The specific changes are set forth in Items 19, 20 and 21.
Item 19 amends subrule 33.3(1) to update the definition of "volatile organic compounds" in the same manner as describe above for Item 1.
Item 20 amends subrule 33.3(17) to revise the public participation requirements for the PSD program. The changes reflect updates to federal regulations that EPA finalized on October 18, 2016, to allow for posting of the public comment period on a website identified by the permitting authority (the Department). EPA's revisions also require that permitting authorities be consistent in the method of providing public notice, although other means to provide adequate notice may be used if necessary. To reflect EPA's changes, this amendment specifies that the Department will provide public notice by posting on a public website identified by the Department, while using other means if necessary to ensure adequate notice to the affected public.
Item 21 amends subrule 33.3(22) to allow for rescission of PSD permits to match changes that EPA made on October 18, 2016, to the public notice requirements in 40 CFR 52.21 as explained above in the description of Item 20.
Item 22 rescinds rules 567—34.200(455B) to 567—34.229(455B), which include Table 1A, Table 1B, Table 2A and Table 2B, to reflect EPA's rescission of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). EPA replaced the federal CAIR regulations that were adopted by reference in Chapter 34 with the Cross States Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) promulgated in 40 CFR 52.38 through 52.39 and 40 CFR Part 97. (The rescission of the CAIR provisions is explained in 40 CFR 51.123(ff) and 51.124(s).) Because CSAPR is primarily implemented by EPA, CSAPR in Iowa will be implemented through a federal implementation plan (FIP) rather than through a state-developed SIP.
Anyone may make written suggestions or comments on the proposed amendments no later than 4:30 p.m. on January 22, 2018. Written comments should be directed to Christine Paulson, Department of Natural Resources, Wallace State Office Building, 502 East 9th Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50319; fax (515)725-9501; or by email to Christine.Paulson@dnr.iowa.gov.
The Department will hold a public hearing on Monday, January 22, 2018, at 1 p.m. at the Department's offices located at the Wallace State Office Building at 502 East 9th Street, Des Moines, Iowa. (Upon arrival to the Wallace Building, attendees should proceed to the fourth floor to check in at the DNR reception desk to receive a visitor's badge and be directed to the hearing location.)
Any person who intends to attend the public hearing and has special requirements, such as those related to hearing or mobility impairments, should contact Christine Paulson at (515)725-9510 or by email at Christine.Paulson@dnr.iowa.gov to advise of specific needs.
Jobs Impact Statement
The following is a summary of the jobs impact statement. The complete jobs impact statement is available from the Department upon request.
After analysis and review of this rule making, the Commission has determined that the amendments specified in Items 1 through 10 and 15 through 22 will have either a positive or neutral impact on private sector jobs. These amendments rescind unnecessary rules, update other rules, and streamline the rules to provide regulatory certainty and, in some cases, regulatory relief. These amendments also implement a portion of the Department's five-year review of rules plan as required under Iowa Code section 17A.7(2). Additionally, most of these amendments make changes that match federal regulations and eliminate inconsistencies between federal regulations and state rules. By adopting federal updates into state rules, the Commission is ensuring that Iowa's air quality rules are no more stringent than federal regulations.
For the amendments specified in Items 11, 12, 13 and 14, the Commission has determined that there may be fiscal impacts to Iowa businesses. However, the amendments are only implementing federally mandated regulations. The amendments are identical to the federal regulations and would not impose any regulations on Iowa businesses not already required by federal law. In some cases, the revised federal standards being adopted provide more flexibility and potential cost savings for affected businesses, offering a positive impact on private sector jobs. Further, the amendments allow the Department, rather than EPA, to be the primary agency to implement the standards in Iowa, thereby allowing the Department to provide compliance assistance to affected facilities.
These amendments are intended to implement Iowa Code section 455B.133.
The following amendments are proposed.
Item 1. Amend rule 567—20.2(455B), definitions of "EPA reference method" and "Volatile organic compounds," as follows:
"EPA reference method" means the following methods used for performance tests and continuous monitoring systems:
1.Performance test (stack test). A stack test shall be conducted according to EPA reference methods specified in 40 CFR 51, Appendix M (as amended through April 2, 2014 August 30, 2016); 40 CFR 60, Appendix A (as amended through February 27, 2014 August 30, 2016); 40 CFR 61, Appendix B (as amended through February 27, 2014 August 30, 2016); and 40 CFR 63, Appendix A (as amended through February 27, 2014 August 30, 2016).
2.Continuous monitoring systems. Minimum performance specifications and quality assurance procedures for performance evaluations of continuous monitoring systems are as specified in 40 CFR 60, Appendix B (as amended through February 27, 2014 August 30, 2016); 40 CFR 60, Appendix F (as amended through February 27, 2014 August 30, 2016); 40 CFR 75, Appendix A (as amended through January 18, 2012 August 30, 2016); 40 CFR 75, Appendix B (as amended through March 28, 2011 August 30, 2016); and 40 CFR 75, Appendix F (as amended through January 18, 2012 August 30, 2016).
"Volatile organic compounds" or "VOC" means any compound included in the definition of "volatile organic compounds" found at 40 CFR Section 51.100(s) as amended through March 27, 2014 August 1, 2016.
