  1. N.J.A.C. 7:27-21Possible Revisions ISG Meeting September 14, 2010

  2. Reasons for Revision • To update rule to meet federal requirements • To fix errors in the rule (major and minor issues) • To make the data more useful • To update rule language/definitions to be more consistent with the other Air rules

  3. Revisions Already Proposed But Not Adopted • Requiring PM2.5 and ammonia to be reported at source level, not facility level • Federal requirement • Requiring the 36 Toxic Air Pollutants (TAPs) to be reported at source level, not facility level • More useful for Department use • Consistent with criteria pollutants • May be possible federal requirement in the future

  4. Additional Revisions Being Considered • Report PM condensible, PM10 filterable, and PM2.5 filterable • Required by EPA’s AERR for 2009 emissions • Would require RADIUS enhancement for Autocalc • Remove references to paper submittal • Last paper submittal was more than 5 years ago • Still keep paper submission for confidential data • Remove 1 month extension • DEP has 12 months to report data to EPA instead of the 17 months before, per AERR • For 2009 ES, 46 request, only 5 approved (most of the denied because request was after May 1)

  5. Additional Revisions Being Considered • If reporting for TAPs is changed to source level, then the applicability could be changed to source level, instead of facility level, to be consistent to permitting • Delete references for before 2003, 2005 • Old references • Delete the requirement of facility coordinates • GIS has most of them already • May require RADIUS enhancement

  6. Update Language/Definitions To Be Consistent Other Rules • Hours, days, and weeks • Quarterly throughput • Winter season • Change "Control apparatus" to "Control Device" • Add definitions for diesel fuel, including biodiesel • "Gasoline" include 10% Ethanol and perhaps E85 in that definition • Expand PM2.5 and PM10 definitions to specifically include condensibles • TSP

  7. Update Language/Definitions To Be Consistent Other Rules • For "Toxic Air Pollutant“, add the commonly used term "TAP“ • 7:27-21.2(d) "... solely a retail gasoline dispensing facility is exempt ..." • Include the DEP street address and street zip code for deliveries (FedEx, UPS, etc.) • Include language that emission statements match permits with exceptions • Define "Predictive Emissions Monitoring“ • Clarify “applicable reporting threshold” and “reporting threshold”

  8. Update Language/Definitions To Be Consistent Other Rules • Change Hydrochloric Acid to "Hydrochloric Acid as Hydrogen Chloride" or just Hydrogen Chloride • 1,1,1-Trichloroethane - add (Methyl Chloroform) • Polychlorinated biphenyls - add (PCB's) • Polycyclic organic matter - add (POM) • Others

  9. Questions/Comments and Next Step • Email comments and questions to emis_statement@dep.state by Dec. 1 • Include any RADIUS enhancements that may be beneficial to Emission Statement reporting • Have a compiled summary of comments and questions and share at next ISG meeting • Will meet with management to go through list of changes • Share at future ISG meeting the “final” list prior to rulemaking • Need for separate emission statement meeting or is the ISG Meeting good enough as the platform for outreach?
