  1. 2011 Indiana Environmental Health Summit Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner, IDEM Keith Baugues, P.E. Assistant Commissioner Office of Air Quality Scott Deloney Chief, Air Programs Branch Office of Air Quality Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) June 6, 2011

  2. Presentation Outline • Overview-IDEM’s Mission and Accomplishments (Commissioner Easterly) • Air Quality and Asthma Trends (Commissioner Easterly) • Air Quality Standards and Where Indiana Stands (K. Baugues) • Emission Trends (S. Deloney) • State and Federal Actions to Improve Air Quality (S. Deloney)

  3. IDEM’s Mission and Accomplishments

  4. IDEM’s Mission We Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment IDEM’s mission is to implement federal and state regulations to protect human health and the environment while allowing the environmentally sound operations of industrial, agricultural, commercial and government activities vital to a prosperous economy.

  5. How Does IDEM Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment? • Develop regulations and issue permits to restrict discharges to the environment to safe levels. • Inspect and monitor permitted facilities to ensure compliance with the permits.

  6. How Does IDEM Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment? • Use compliance assistance and/or enforcement when people exceed their permit levels or violate regulations. • Educate people on their environmental responsibilities.

  7. Performance Metrics April 2011

  8. Performance Metrics June 2005

  9. (573) (650) (385) (295) (597) (467) (Total Number of Title V Permits)

  10. 25 Years of Progress • At the end of 2009, for the first time since ambient air quality standards were developed, all of Indiana met all of the health based ambient air quality standards (including the 0.075 ozone standard). • During 2010, the new 0.15 microgram per cubic meter lead standard became effective and almost 700 people may be breathing air above that new standard. IDEM is working to make sure that those Hoosiers have clean air to breathe. • Outdoor Hydronic Heater (formerly Outdoor Wood Fired Boiler) Rule effective May 18, 2011. • Automotive mercury switch removal program.

  11. Air Quality and Asthma Trends(Statewide)

  12. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)Where Does Indiana Stand?

  13. Criteria Pollutant TrendsStatewide: Lead • Carbon Monoxide • Particulate Matter • Nitrogen Dioxide • Ozone • Sulfur Dioxide

  14. Lead – Maximum Design Value Trends

  15. Indiana’s Nonattainment Area for Lead Based on 2007-2009 Monitoring Data October 15, 2008: U.S. EPA Established A New Lead Standard Set At 0.15 µg/m3 As A Three Month Rolling Average.

  16. Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Maximum Design Value 1-Hour Trends

  17. CO 1-Hour Design Values Based on 2010 Monitoring Data April 3, 1971:U.S. EPA Established A CO 1-Hour Standard Set At 35 ppm January 28, 2011: U.S. EPA Proposed To Retain The CO 1-Hour Standard At 35 ppm

  18. Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Maximum Design Value 8-Hour Trends

  19. CO 8-Hour Design Values Based on 2010 Monitoring Data April 3, 1971:U.S. EPA Established A CO 8-Hour Standard Set At 9 ppm January 28, 2011: U.S. EPA Proposed To Retain The CO 8-Hour Standard At 9 ppm

  20. Fine Particle (PM2.5) – Maximum Annual Design Value Trends

  21. July 18, 1997: U.S. EPA Established A NewPM2.5 Annual Standard Set At 15 µg/m3 PM2.5 Annual Design Values (3-yr Average) Based on 2008-2010 Monitoring Data Standard at 15 µg/m3

  22. March 15, 2010: U.S. EPA Announced It Would Reconsider The Annual PM2.5 Standard Within ARange Of 11-14 µg/m3 PM2.5 Annual Design Values (3-yr Average) Based on 2008-2010 Monitoring Data Standard at 13 µg/m3

  23. March 15, 2010: U.S. EPA Announced It Would Reconsider The Annual PM2.5 Standard Within ARange Of 11-14 µg/m3 PM2.5 Annual Design Values (3-yr Average) Based on 2008-2010 Monitoring Data Standard at 11 µg/m3

  24. Fine Particle (PM2.5) – Maximum 24-Hour Design Value Trends

  25. Based on potential revisions to the 24-hour standard. PM2.5 24-Hour Design Values (3-yr Average of 98th Percentile) Based on 2008-2010 Monitoring Data Standard at 30 µg/m3
