Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Arizona; Regional Haze and Interstate Visibility Transport Federal Implementation Plan

Environmental Protection Agency

Abstract

This proposed Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) addresses the requirements of the Regional Haze Rule (RHR) and interstate visibility transport for the disapproved portions of Arizona's Regional Haze (RH) State Implementation Plan (SIP) as described in our final rule published on July 30, 2013. Our final rule on Arizona's RH SIP partially approved and partially disapproved the State's plan to implement the regional haze program for the first planning period. Today's proposed rule addresses the RHR's requirements for Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART), Reasonable Progress Goals (RPGs) and Long-term Strategy (LTS) as well as the interstate visibility transport requirements for pollutants that affect visibility in Arizona's 12 Class I areas as well as areas in nearby states. The BART sources addressed in this proposed FIP are Tucson Electric Power (TEP) Sundt Generating Station Unit 4, Lhoist Nelson Lime Plant Kilns 1 and 2, ASARCO Incorporated Hayden Smelter, and Freeport-McMoran Inc. (FMMI) Miami Smelter. The sources with proposed controls for reasonable progress are the Phoenix Cement Clarkdale Plant and the CalPortland Cement Rillito Plant.
