SCOPE
This report summarizes State Implementation Plan regulations on the
emission of sulfur oxides from fuel combustion equipment. The definition
of fuel combustion equipment varies from State to State, but in all States
these regulations apply to steam-electric generating plants (power plants)
and industrial boilers. In many cases the regulations apply to all fuel
users (Appendix D). The regulations generally do not apply to S02 emis-
sions from incineration, wood burning, or for fuel used as a raw material
for chemical processes, such as in manufacturing coke.
State Implementation Plans (SIPs) are designed to prevent local ambient
air concentrations from exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(Appendix A). In addition to SIP regulations which are Federally approved
and legally enforceable, some States, counties, or cities have adopted
local S02 regulations which may be more stringent than SIP emission require-
ments. Wnile 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.

FOR SULFUR OXIDES:
FUEL COMBUSTION
INTRODUCTION
This report contains a summary of each State's implementation plan
regulations for the emission of sulfur oxides; a background section ex-
plaining the relationship between these regulations, the Federal ambient
air standards, and Federal new source regulations; an overview of the
various State regulations, and five appendices. Appendix A outlines the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards, Appendix B summarizes the Federal
new source regulations for S02> Appendix C explains how to convert units
of measure of sulfur oxide regulations to a common basis, Appendix D ex-
pi ains the applicability of these S02 regulations to industrial fuel
burners, and Appendix E contains additional information about the S02
regulations for Ohio.
Regulations aimed at controlling ambient air concentrations of sulfur
dioxide (S02) may be written to limit either the sulfur content of fuel or
the emission of sulfur dioxide or sulfur oxides. To be consistent with
commonly used terminology, the following discussions refer to all sulfur
limiting regulations as S02 regulations.
This document is not an official EPA listing of SIP emission regula-
tions for S02, 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 compliance 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 were updated
Dy tracKing revisions to State Implementation Plans which had been published
in the Federal Register. This summary incorporates revisions that have been
approved through August 30, 1977 and, in a few cases, identifies revisions
which are in progress.
This summary provides a data base of S02 regulations for use by EPA and
otner organizations in analyzing the issues of S02 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 wnich will be published periodically. The revisions will
reflect changes to State Implementation Plans which have been approved by
EPA since the puolication of this document and will correct inaccuracies
which may appear in this report. Please address comments to:

BACKGROUND: RELATIONSHIP OF NATIONAL AMBIENT
AIR QUALITY STANDARDS, STATE EMISSION REGULATIONS, AND FEDERAL
NEW SOURCE STANDARDS
The Clean Air Act Amendments 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 stan-
dards 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 (SIPs)
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 revision, 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 regulations. 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 plan, 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 part 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 significantly to the endariger-
ment 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.
Over the past few years, much attention has been focused on emission regu-
lations for sulfur oxides since these regulations have a significant impact on
the supply of fuel, particularly coal, which can be burned to produce electrical
energy. While United States supplies of coal are plentiful, some of this coal
is too high in sulfur content to be burned in compliance with State and Federal
regulations for S02 without the use of emission reduction systems which, in
some cases, are either costly or impractical. As a result, many states have
been reevaluating their sulfur oxide regulations to insure that scarce low
sulfur fuels are being required only in areas where they are needed to protect
public health. In some cases, States have revised their sulfur regulations to
allow the burning of higher sulfur fuels in less polluted areas where they can
be burned without violating ambient air quality standards.
-------
OVERVIEW OF S02 REGULATIONS
This summary of SIP emission requirements clearly shows the complexity and
diversity of S02 emission regulations for fuel combustion. These regulations
vary as to the units of measure in which the sulfur limiting provision is
expressed and the equipment (boiler, stack, or entire plant) to which the regu-
lations apply. In addition, some states control all emission sources equally,
while other states prescribe different emission limits for sources according
to the fuel used, the geographic location, the size of the source., or the type
of source (e.g. power plant or other combustion units). The following discus-
sion highlights the diversity of the regulations and explains some; of the more
peculiar and complex regulations.
Sulfur dioxide emissions most commonly are regulated either by limiting
the amount of sulfur dioxide emitted per unit heat input (ISOz/MMBtu), the amount
of sulfur per unit heat release potential (#S/IWBtu) or by limiting the sulfur
content by weight (%S) that a fuel can contain. Sulfur dioxide regulations also
may limit the allowable S02 concentration in effluent gas (parts per million
or ppm S02 by volume) or the mass rate of emissions (#S02/hr). Six states, or
parts thereof specify ambient air quality standards only (i.e. no specific emis-
sion limit for a source). Other methods of limiting S02 emissions which appear
in the SIPs include requiring a percent control of input sulfur (% control) or
requiring application of "latest reasonably available control technology" (Florida)
or "new proven technologies" (Texas).
Some of the above mentioned methods for regulating S02 control the emissions
of sulfur oxides more directly than do others, and each method has different
implications regarding fuels that legally can be burned. For instance, a %S
regulation is a fuel restriction and, therefore, does not directly limit sulfur
oxide emissions from a stack. To illustrate, a regulation requiring a coal-fired
boiler to reduce its fuel sulfur from 3% to 1% may appear to result in a 67%
reduction of S02 emissions. This assumption is valid only if the lower sulfur
fuel used to comply with the regulation has the same heat content (Btu/lb) as
the original fuel. If, however, the lower sulfur fuel has a lower heat content
than the original fuel, then the rate of fuel consumption for the boiler will
have to be increased to maintain the heat output at existing levels. As a result,
-------
the emission reduction achieved by complying with this hypothetical regulation
may be less than 67%, the degree of emission reduction depending upon the heating
value of the complying coal. On the other hand, a regulation requiring a boiler
to reduce emissions from 6 #S02/MMBtu to 2 # S02/MMBtu, in all cases will result
in a 67% reduction of S02 emissions because this emission regulation is specified
on the basis of total heat input to a combustion unit.
Regulations written in #S02/hour directly control the amount of sulfur
emissions, but the sulfur content of fuel that can be used to comply with a
S02/hr regulation is a function of other parameters in addition to the value
of the regulation. For instance, consider a boiler operating at full capacity
(i.e. maximum designed fuel consumption rate) and then at one-half of full
capacity. In both cases, assume that the boiler is meeting the #S02/hr emission
requirement. When operating at one-half of full capacity, the boiler legally
can burn a fuel with twice the sulfur content that it can burn when operating
at full capacity, because the rate of fuel consumption (and thus, sulfur
input to the boiler) has been reduced by one-half. Likewise, the sulfur content
of fuel required to meet a regulation expressed in ppm S02 will vary depending
on the amount of excess air (air fed during the combustion process) a.id other
parameters specified for computing the emission limit. For example, to comply
with a regulation of 500 ppm S02 at 50% excess air would require coal with a
sulfur content of about 0.86 %S. But to comply with the same emission limit
at 12% excess air would require coal with sulfur content of about 0.65 %S.
On the other hand, the effect of ambient air quality regulations on
allowable emissions is difficult to predict. These regulations were approved
for Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming because no
violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) had been
detected in these areas and because the States anticipated no industrial
growth which might result in contravention of the air standards. If, however,
the state ambient air quality standard is exceeded in these areas, the regula-
tions provide no direct legal mechanism for requiring a plant source to reduce
S02 emission. To control a source once an air standard is violated, the state
might exercise one of several enforcement actions, including finding the source,
-------
issuing an enforcement order, or requiring the company to submit an emission
reduction plan. If, however, a National Ambfent Air Quality Standard is
violated (State air quality standards are often different, but at; least as
stringent as the NAAQS), EPA would require the state to adopt and submit a
State Implementation Plan revision, setting forth emission limitations
aimed at preventing future NAAQS violations. Similarly, it is difficult to
predict the impact of regulations in Texas and Florida which call for the
use of reasonably available control technologies on certain sources.
To assist in comparing S02 regulations on a plant-by-plant basis,
Appendix C contains equations for converting S02 emission regulations into
common units of measure of %S and #S02/MMBtu based on the heat content of
the fuel burned and the excess air specified in the applicable regulation.
Besides the various units of measure employed, regulations also vary as
to the equipment upon which the emission limit is enforced. Twenty-five
states or territories enforce their regulations on a boiler basis, thirteen
on a stack basis, and eighteen on a total plant basis (all boilers collec-
tively). In considering compliance with a regulation, this information
determines whether * source is allowed to average its emission over all
boilers (or stacks) or if each boiler (or stack) must comply with the
regulation.
About one-third of the states regulate specific fuel types. These regu-
lations usually control oil-fired sources more strictly than coal-fired
sources. But, in some cases, such as New Jersey, the sulfur restriction for
coal is more stringent than the restriction for oil; the objective of this
regulation being to prohibit the use of coal without flue gas cleaning equip-
ment. The range of fuel types which ere individually specified in the various
regulations includesoil, #1 to #6 oil individually, all distillate oils, all
residual oils, coal, anthracite coal, bituminous coal, lignite, all solid
fuels, all liquid fuels, gaseous fuels, fossil fuels, and non-commerical
fuels. Consideration of these provisions is important in determining if a
particular regulation applies to combustible material other than fossil fuels
such as petrochemical by-products or solid waste.
8
-------
About half of the states have specific SCb regulations for various geo-
graphic areas within the state. These geographic areas might be specified
as cities, counties, Federal air quality control regions (AQCR), or some
locally defined geographic region. In some areas, including Arizona, Georgia,
New Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Ohio, regulations have been promulgated for
specific plants.
In about one-third of the states, the size of the source determines whether
or not the source must comply with an SO? emission limitation and if so, the
stringency of the limitation. In most cases source size is defined by the heat
input rate neasured in millions of Btu per hour (MMBtu/hr). Other methods of
defining source size include pounds of steam generated per hour (#steam/hr) and
emission potential in tons of SO/ emitted per year (tons SO^/yr). In some
states, the magnitude of the emission limit is determined by the heat input
range under which a source falls. In many states, larger sources are controlled
more stringantly than smaller sources. For instance, in parts of Nevada, boilers
with heat input rates of less than 250 MMBtu/hr must comply with an emission limit
of 0.7 #S/MMBtu while boilers greater than 250 MMBtu/hr must comply with an emis-
sion limit of 0.1 #S/MMBtu (250 MMBtu/hr corresponds to a boiler with an associated
generating capacity of about 25 megawatts). In Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Virginia, and Indiana the heat input rate is inserted into an equation which
computes the allowable emission limit.
Over f-alf of the states employ more than one of the parameters discussed
above in tfeir regulations. In addition, about 35% of the states have separate
regulations for new sources and about 10% have regulations for existing sources
that become more stringent over time. For example, in Michigan, large steam
generators are restricted from burning fuel with more than 1.5%S; after July 1,
1978, the 'cuel sulfur limitation drops to 1 .0%S.
In a -"ew states (for instance, Nebraska and New Hampshire) the limits on
emissions or fuel quality are specified as maximum values averaged over a given
time period. Most regulations, however, state that emissions or sulfur content
shall not exceed a maximum value. This phraseology implies that instantaneous
compliance with the limit is required.

SULFUR OXIDE EMISSION REGULATIONS
In the following summary of State Implementation Plan regulations for
S02, one page has been devoted to each state regulation (more pages in a few
cases 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.
Also presented is the time period over which emission measurements are averaged
for determining compliance with the regulation. 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 regulation. Where needed for clarity,
further explanatory information about the regulation 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 regulations in greater detail than in other published summaries. As a
result, this summa y is lengthy, but is easily understood and will be easy
to update as emissijn regulations are changed
This summary sometimes references regulations that have been "adopted"
or "proposed." Proposed regulations refer to regulations adopted by a
state or written by EPA which have been proposed formally in the Federal
Register. Adopted regulations refer to the regulations that have been adopted
by a State legislative body, but which either have not been submitted to EPA
for approval or have been submitted to EPA but have not been proposed formally
in the Federal Register.

NOTES: All emission regulations expressed as ppm S02 are corrected to 50% excess air.
Current regulations permit a source to comply with the ambient air quality
standard of 0.04 ppm S02» maximum 24-hr average, in lieu of the emission
limitation for Bay Area Air Basin. However, EPA has proposed to disapprove
this provision and to require a source to comply with the specific emission
limitation of 300 ppm S02.

redefined a new source as one which is constructed after 1/1/80 (has not been
approved by EPA).
A local regulation enforceable by the State limits emissions from existing
sources to 500 ppm 5Q?. 3

with Q > 250 MMBtu/hr):
1. Solid fuel
2. Liquid fuel
1.2#S02/MMBtu
0.8#S02/MMBtu
NOTES: 1. Emission sources are required to pass an initial performance test,
after which sources must continuously monitor S02 emissions or fuel
sulfur content and report to EPA periods of excess emissions.
2. The heat input rate (Q) applies to an individual boiler.
3. EPA plans to propose a revision to the Federal new source performance
standard for coal-firing by December 1978.

ALTERNATIVE REGULATIONS FOR CERTAIN POWER PLANTS IN OHIO
-------
ALTERNATIVE REGULATIONS FOR CERTAIN POWER
PLANTS IN OHIO
For some power plants in Ohio, control options have been included
in the EPA promulgation (8/27/76) to allow a source to choose between
a uniform emission limitation applicable to all stacks at that facility
or a series of stack-specific emission limitations. The latter choice
provides for maximum flexibility of emission control sufficient to assure
the attainment and maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards
and minimum economic impact on a particular facility.
In lieu of meeting the emission limitations listed in the state
summary sheet for Ohio, fourteen power plants may elect to comply with
the emission limitations which will satisfy equations given below (E^
in the equations denotes emissions, in #S02/MMBtu, from stack i where i
is the stack number).
