SCOPE
.This report summarizes State Implementation Plan regulations on the
emission of particulate matter from fuel combustion equipment. The defi-
nition of fuel combustion equipment varies slightly from state to state
but, in all states, these regulations ap>ly to steam-electric generating
plants (power plants) and industrial boilers which burn fuel to generate
power. In many cases, the regulations apply to all fuel users. The regu-
lations generally do not apply to particulate emissions from incineration
or industrial processes such as steel production or coking.
State Implementation Plans (SIP) are designed to prevent local ambient
air concentrations from exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
In addition to SIP regulations, which are Federally approved and legally
enforceable, some states, counties, or cities have adopted local particulate
regulations which may be more stringent than SIP emission requirements.
While fuel burning sources may be required to comply with these regulations,
in most cases, local regulations are not included in this summary. Where
local regulations do appear, they are clearly identified as such.

EMISSION REGULATIONS
FOR PARTICULATE MATTER:
FUEL COMBUSTION
INTRODUCTION '
This report contains a summary of each state's implementation plan
regulations for particulate matter; a background section explaining the
relationship between these regulations, the Federal ambient air standards,
and Federal new source regulations; and four appendices. Appendix A
presents the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, Appendix B summarizes
the Federal new source regulations for particulate matter and Appendix C
explains how to convert units of measure of particulate regulations to a
common basis, and Appendix D contains a graph which is used to determine
the emission limit in several states.
This document is not an official EPA listing of SIP emission regulations
for particulates but reflects an interpretation of these regulations which
was prepared by EPA's Strategies and Air Standards Division for strategy
analysis. Since the primary responsibility for interpreting and enforcing
these regulations lies with each state or local air pollution control office,
these data should not be used to make assumptions regarding the legal com-
pliance status of any particular facility.
The summary initially was compiled from state regulations published in
the Environment Reporter and the Code of_ Federal Regulations. To verify
details of how these regulations are being enforced, a team of engineers
visited the Office of Enforcement or the Office of Air Programs at each
-------
EPA regional office. In some instances, the state air pollution control
offices were contacted. Following these visits, the regulations have
been updated by tracking revisions to State Implementation Plans which
have been published in the Federal Register. This summary incorporates
revisions that have been approved through July 1, 1976 and, in a few
cases, identifies revisions which are in progress.
This summary provides a data base of particulate regulations for use
by EPA and other organizations in analyzing the issues of pollution control
and National fuels policies. Since these data were not collected directly
from the individual state air pollution .control agencies, there exists a
possibility of errors in some of these summaries. To assist in correcting
these errors and maintaining an accurate data base, the Strategies and
Air Standards Division invites comments on this summary, especially from
state air pollution control agencies and from EPA regional offices. Comments
will be incorporated into revisions of this document which will be published
periodically. The revisions will reflect changes to State Implementation
Plans which have been approved by EPA since the publication of this docu-
ment and will correct inaccuracies which may appear in this report. Please

BACKGROUND: RELATIONSHIP OF NATIONAL AMBIENT
AIR QUALITY STANDARDS, STATE EMISSION REGULATIONS,
AND FEDERAL NEW SOURCE STANDARDS
The Clean Air Act of 1970 gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
the responsibility and authority to control air pollution in the United States
and its territories. Among other responsibilities, the Clean Air Act required
the Administrator of EPA to promulgate National Ambient Air Quality Standards*
for pollutants which he determines adversely affect public health and welfare.
In 1971, EPA promulgated National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for
six pollutantssulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter, carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons, and photochemical oxidants (Appendix A). For each
pollutant, two standards were issued. Primary standards were set at levels
necessary to protect the public health and were to be met no later than three
years from the date of promulgation (subject to limited extensions of up
to three years). Secondary standards were designed to protect the public
from adverse effects to their welfare, such as crop damage, reduction in
atmospheric visibility, and corrosion of materials and were to be met in
a time frame considered reasonable by the Administrator.
To implement these standards, the Act required each state to adopt and
submit to EPA a plan for attaining, maintaining, and enforcing the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards in all regions of the state. Each state, there-
fore, decided (for each pollutant) the total emission reduction needed to
maintain local ambient air levels below the standards and decided:which emission
sources to control and to what extent. The State Implementation Plans (S.IPs)
prescribed emission limiting regulations, timetables for compliance with the
limitation, and any other measures, such as land-use and transportation controls,
which were necessary to insure attainment and maintenance of the standards.
The plans were reviewed by EPA and approved if they demonstrated that at a
minimum the primary standards would be attained within three years (subject to
* National Ambient Air Quality Standards (usually expressed in micrograms per
cubic meter) establish a maximum level of pollution permitted in the ambient
air.
-------
the compliance date extension provisions of the Act) and that secondary
standards would be attained within a reasonable period of time. Disapproved
plans (or parts thereof) were returned to the states for revisions, or in
some cases, substitute regulations were promulgated by EPA.
While the primary responsibility for enforcing SIP regulations rests with
the individual states, the Administrator of EPA is responsible for assuring
that all implementation plan requirements are fulfilled. As a result, EPA
provides technical and legal assistance to the states in enforcing SIP regu-
lations. If any state fails to enforce its implementation plan regulations,
the Federal Government may commence a number of administrative or legal
actions directed toward non-complying sources.
Most of the state implementation plans were approved in 1972. Following
initial approval of the SIPs, many states began submitting to EPA revisions
to their implementation plans, many of which alter the emission limitations.
Usually, these revisions are based on additional air quality measurement data
or on a more detailed technical analysis of air pollution control strategies.
When approved by EPA, these revisions become a par-t of the implementation plan.
In addition to the SIP limitations, emissions from certain sources are
restricted further by Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary
Sources (commonly referred to as new source performance standards). A new
emission source is one which is designed and constructed after the formal
proposal of new source regulations. New sources include newly constructed
facilities, new equipment which is added to existing facilities, and existing
equipment which is modified in such a way that results in an increase of
pollutant emissions. New source standards limit specific pollutant emissions
from categories of sources (such as fossil-fuel fired steam generators,
municipal incinerators) which the Administrator determines may contribute
signficantly to the endangerment of public health and welfare. For these
sources, the Act requires the Administrator to promulgate emission limitations
which will require installation of the best systems of emission reduction
-------
which he determines have been adequately demonstrated. Cost factors are
considered in making this determination. Federal new source standards
help prevent the occurrence of new air pollution problems, encourage
improvements in emission control technology, and provide a mechanism
for controlling pollutants which EPA suspects are hazardous, but for which
insufficient information is available to regulate such pollutants under
other provisions of the Act.

PARTICULATE MATTER EMISSION REGULATIONS
In the following summary of State Implementation Plan regulations for
particulates, one page has been devoted to each state regulation (two pages
for some regulations where the summary was lengthy). The states and U. S.
territories appear alphabetically with the state name on the top of each
page. Under the name is a checklist for identifying the units of measure
in which the emission limit is expressed and the equipment on which the
regulation is enforced. For regulations in which the allowable emission
limit is a function of heat input, the checklist also identifies the method \
prescribed by the state for computing the heat input value. Below this
information, the emission regulation is summarized. Where possible, the \
summaries were formatted similarly, but in each case a format was selected
which was believed to be best suited for a lucid explanation of the regu- :
lation. Where needed for clarity, further explanatory information is
presented at the end of each summary in a paragraph entitled "NOTES".
In the past, other reports have presented SIP regulations in a tabular
format, enabling easy comparison. In many cases, however, presenting regu-
lations in this manner sacrifices some accuracy and detail. In contrast,
this summary has been written in a freely-formatted style, thus portraying
the reguations in greater detail than in other published summaries. As a
result, this summary is lengthy, but is easily understood and will be easy
to update.
This summary sometimes refers to state regulations. These regulations
are emission regulations that have been adopted by a state legislative body,
but which either have not been submitted to EPA for inclusion into the.SIP |
or have been submitted to EPA but have not been approved formally in the
Federal Register.

Assumptions:
1. The heat content of bagasse is assumed to be 4000 Btu/lb bagasse.
2. Density of fuel oil is assumed to be 7.88 Ib oil/gal oil.
3. In the conversion from units of grains/SCF, grains/SCFD and
Ib particulates/103 Ib stack gas, it is assumed that coal contains 72%C,
5%H2, 2%N2, 1%S and 10% moisture.
4. In the conversion from units of grains/SCF, grains, SCFD and
Ib particulates/103 Ib stack gas, it is assumed that oil contains 88%C,
9.5%H2 and 0.5% moisture.
5. The air fed to the boiler is assumed to contain no moisture.
6. The molecular weight of the stack gas is assumed to be 29.5 Ib/lb mole.
7. Complete combustion is assumed.
8. Standard conditions for stack gas are taken as 1 atmosphere and 60°F.
9. The stack gas is assumed to be an ideal gas.

Effect of Multiple Stacks
For a plant with n stacks, the result obtained from the figure should
be divided by n°*25 to account for multi-stack effect. For multiple stacks
having different heights, the weighted average stack height, hs may be cal-
culated by the following formula:

sents heat input to stack i. The dimensionless factor, a., is 1.0 for a
stack with total heat input of 4000 MMBtu/hr or more. If the total heat
input to a stack is less than 4000 MMBtu/hr, a. is 0.67 for a stack height
of 150 ft. or less, and 0.80 for a stack height of 225 ft. or more. For a
stack height between 150 and 225 ft., a. is computed using the following
equation:
ai = 0.67 + 0.001733 (1^-150)
