                        1.0  EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

     The enclosed report is the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) response to Section  IV of the Energy Supply and Environmental
Coordination Act of 1974 (ESECA).  Section IV required EPA to review
each State  Implementation  Plan (SIP) to determine if revisions can be
made to control regulations for stationary fuel combustion sources
without interfering with the attainment and maintenance of the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).  In addition to requiring that
EPA report  to the State on whether control regulations might be revised,
ESECA provides that EPA must approve or disapprove any revised regulations
relating to fuel burning stationary sources within three months after
they are submitted to EPA  by the States.  The States may, as in the
Clean Air Act of 1970, initiate State Implementation Plan revisions;
ESECA does  not, however, require States to change any existing plan.

       Congress has intended that this report provide the State with infor-
mation on excessively restrictive control regulations.  The intent of
ESECA is that SIP's, wherever possible, be revised in the interest of
conserving  low sulfur fuels or converting sources which burn oil or
natural gas to coal.  EPA's objective in carrying out the SIP reviews,
therefore,  has been to try to establish if emissions from combustion
sources may be increased.  Where an indication can be found that
emissions from certain fuel burning sources can be increased and still
attain and maintain NAAQS, it may be plausible that fuel resource
allocations can be altered for "clean fuel savings" in a manner con-
sistent with both environmental  and national energy needs.

       In many respects, the ESECA SIP reviews parallels EPA's policy on
clean fuels.  The Clean Fuels Policy has consisted of reviewing imple-
mentation plans with regards to saving low sulfur fuels and, where the
primary sulfur dioxide air quality standards were not exceeded, to
encourage States to either defer compliance regulations of to revise
the S02 emission regulations.  The States have also been asked to
discourage large scale shifts from coal to oil where this could be done
without jeopardizing the attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS.

-------
        To date, EPA's fuels policy has addressed only those States with
 the largest clean fuels saving potential.  Several  of these States have
 or are currently in the process of revising S02 regulations.  These
 States are generally in the Eastern half of the United States.  ESECA,
 however, extends the analysis of potentially over-restrictive regulations
 to all 55 States and territories.   In addition, the current reviews
 address the attainment and maintenance of all  the National Ambient Air
 Quality Standards.

        There are, in general, three predominant reasons for the existence
 of overly restrictive emission limitations  within the State Implemen-
 tation Plans.   These are 1)  The use of the example region approach
 in developing-State-wide air quality control  strategies; 2)  the
 existence of State  Air Quality Standards  which  are  more stringent than
 NAAQS; and 3)   the  "hot spots"  in only part  of an  Air Quality Control
 Region (AQCR)  which have been used as  the basis for controlling the
 entire region.   Since each of these situations  effect many State plans
 and in some  instances conflict with current national  energy concerns,
 a review of  the State Implementation Plans  is  a logical  follow-up to
 EPA's  initial  appraisal  of the SIP's conducted  in 1972.   At that time
 SIP's  were approved by EPA if they demonstrated the attainment of NAAQS
 p_r more stringent state  air quality standards.   Also, at that time an
 acceptable method for formulating  control strategies  was the use of
 an example region for demonstrating the attainment  of the standards.

        The example  region  concept  permitted a  State to identify the most
 polluted air quality  control  region (AQCR)  and  adopt  control  regulations
 which  would be  adequate  to  attain  the  NAAQS in  that region.   In using
 an example region,  it was  assumed  that NAAQS would  be attained in the
 other  AQCR's of  the State  if  the control  regulations  were applied to
 similar sources.  The problem  with  the use  of  an example region is  that
 it can result in excessive  controls, especially in  the utilization  of
 clean  fuels, for areas of  the  State  where sources would  not  otherwise
 contribute to NAAQS violations.  For instance,  a control  strategy based
on a particular region or source can result in  a regulation requiring
 1 percent sulfur oil to be  burned  state-wide where  the use of 3 percent
sulfur coal would be adequate  to attain NAAQS in  some  locations.

-------
       EPA anticipates that a number of States will use the review find-
ings to assist them in making the decision whether or not to revise
portions of their State Implementation Plans.  However, it is most
important for those States which desire to submit a revised plan to
recognize the review's limitations.  The findings of this report are
by no means conclusive and are neither  intended nor adequate to be the
sole basis for SIP revisions; they do, however, represent EPA's best
judgment and effort in complying with the ESECA requirements.  The
time and resources which EPA has had to prepare the reports has not
permitted the consideration of growth, economics, and control strategy
tradeoffs.  Also, there has been only limited dispersion modeling data
available by which to address individual point source emissions.  Where
the modeling data for specific sources were found, however, they were
used in the analysis.

       The data upon which the reports' findings are based are the most
currently available to the Federal Government.  However, EPA believes
that the States possess the best information for developing revised
plans.  The States have the most up-to-date air quality and emissions
data, a better feel for growth, and the fullest understanding for the
complex problems facing them in the attainment and maintenance of
air quality.  Therefore, those States desiring to revise a plan are
encouraged to verify and, in many instances, expand the modeling and
monitoring data supporting EPA's findings.  In developing a suitable
plan, it is suggested that States select control strategies which
place emissions for fuel combustion sources into perspective with
all sources of emissions such as smelters or other industrial pro-
cesses.  States are encouraged to consider the overall impact which
the potential relaxation of overly restrictive emissions regulations
for combustion sources might have on their future control programs.
This may include air quality maintenance, prevention of significant
deterioration, increased TSP, NO , and HC emissions which occur in
                                A
fuel switching, and other potential air pollution situations such as
sulfates.

-------
       Although the enclosed analysis  has  attempted to address the attain-
ment of all the NAAQS,  most of the  review  has  focused on total suspended
particulate matter (TSP)  and sulfur dioxide (S02)  emissions.   This is
because stationary fuel combustion  sources constitute the greatest
source of S02 emission  and are a major source  of TSP emissions.

       Part of each States's review was organized  to provide  an analysis
of the SCL and TSP emission tolerances within  each of the various AQCR's.
The regional emission tolerance estimate is,  in many cases, EPA's only
measure of the "over-cleaning" accomplished by a SIP.  The tolerance
assessments have been combined in Appendix B with  other regional air
quality "indicators" in an attempt  to  provide  an evaluation of a region's
candidacy for changing  emission limitation regulations.  In conjunction
with the regional analysis, a summary  of the  States's fuel combustion
sources (power plants,  industrial sources, and area sources)  has been
carried out in Appendix C, D, and E.

       The State Implementation Plan for Pennsylvania has been reviewed
for the most prevalent  causes of over-restrictive  fuel combustion emission
limiting regulations.  The major findings  of the review are:
       FOR BOTH PARTICULATES AND SULFUR DIOXIDE, THERE ARE NO
       INDICATIONS THAT EXISTING FUEL  COMBUSTION EMISSION
       REGULATIONS ARE  OVER-RESTRICTIVE.

       The supportive findings of the  SIP  review are as follows:

       Like many other  areas of the nation, high levels of total sus-
pended particulates are currently being found  throughout the  state
of Pennsylvania.  National ambient  air quality standards for particulates
were exceeded in each of  the six Air Quality Control  Regions  during 1973.

       Ambient air quality standards for sulfur dioxide were  exceeded in
the Metropolitan Philadelphia, Northwest Pennsylvania, and the
Southwest Pennsylvania  Air Quality  Control Regions.

-------
       There are insufficient air monitoring data in the Central  Pennsyl-
vania Air Quality Control Region for sulfur dioxide.  This is  a Priority III
region for this pollutant, and air monitors were not required  during  1973.
If current air quality data were to indicate that SO- levels are  below
the standard, then there is a possibility of clean fuel  savings in this
region.

       Recent action by the state parallels the intentions of  Section  IV
of ESECA.  In an attempt to reduce the impact of fuel shortages  and  to
conserve clean fuels, a plan revision was submitted by the State  which
would postpone the date of sulfur in fuel content for the City of
Philadelphia until March 31, 1975.  The decrease, from 0.5% to 0.3%
was scheduled for October 1, 1973.

               2.0  STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REVIEW
2.1  SUMMARY
     A revision of fuel combustion source emissions regulations

will depend on many factors.  For example:

     •  Does the State have air quality standards which are
        more stringent than NAAQS?

     •  Does the State have emission limitation regulations
        for control of (1) power plants,  (2) industrial sources,
        (3) area sources?

     •  Did the State use an example region approach for demon-
        strating the attainment of NAAQS p_r_ more stringent State
        standards?

     •  Has the State not initiated action to modify combustion
        source emission regulations for fuel savings; i.e.,
        under the Clean Fuels Policy?

     •  Are there no proposed Air Quality Maintenance Areas?

     t  Are there indications of a sufficient number of monitoring
        sites within a region?

     i  Is there an expected 1975 attainment date for NAAQS?

     •  Based on (1973) air quality data, are there no reported
        violations of NAAQS?

     •  Based on (1973) air quality data, are there indications
        of a tolerance for increasing emissions?

     •  Are the total emissions from stationary fuel combustion
        sources proportionally lower than those of other sources?

     •  Is there a significant clean fuels savings potential in
        the region?

     •  Do modeling results for specific fuel combustion sources
        show a potential for a regulation revision?
     The following portion of this report is directed at answering these
questions.  An AQCR's potential for revising regulations increases when
there are affirmative responses to the above.

-------
     The initial  part of the  SIP  review report,  Section 2 and
Appendix A, was organized to  provide  the background and current
situation information for the State  Implementation Plan.  Section 3
and the remaining Appendices  provide  an AQCR analysis  which helps
establish the overall potential  for  revising regulations.  Emis-
sion tolerance estimates have been combined in Appendix B with
other regional air quality "indicators" in  an attempt  to provide
an evaluation of a region's candidacy for revising emission limiting
regulations.  In conjunction  with the regional analysis, a character-
ization of the State's fuel combustion sources (power  plants, indus-
trial sources, and area sources)  has  been carried out  in Appendix
C, D. E.

     Based on an overall evaluation  of EPA's current information,
AQCR's have been classified as good,  marginal, or poor candidates
for regulation revisions.  The following table summarizes the State
Implementation Plan Review.  The remaining  portion of  the report
supports this summary with explanations.

     After a candidacy has been given to a  region, a follow-up analysis
should be conducted depending on whether a  region is a good, poor or mar-
ginal candidate.  A region that has  been indicated to  be a good candidate
for regulation revision should be examined  in more detail by the state and
the Region office of the EPA, including an  examination of current air
quality, emissions, and fuel  use data, which the state has more familiar-
ity with but was not included in this report. A region with a marginal
rating in most cases has been given  this rating  because of insufficient air
quality data with which to determine  the current air quality status.  If
the state feels that clean fuels  could be saved  in a particular region,
then an analysis of air quality data  that may have become available since
this report should be examined.   Special air monitoring studies may be
conducted if the state feels  that this would be  beneficial in light of a
clean fuel  savings potential.  If current fuel use does not indicate a

-------
potential then further study would not be warranted.   An  AQCR  that  has
been indicated to be a poor candidate would not warrant  further  study
unless the state feels that new information has become available indi-
cating that the poor rating is no longer valid.

2.2  AIR QUALITY SETTING -  STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA

2.2.1  Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control  Areas
       Pennsylvania has been divided into  six Air Quality Control Regions
(AQCR) as listed:
       •  Metropolitan Philadelphia Interstate (Delaware, New Jersey)
       0  Northeast Pennsylvania - Upper Delaware Valley Interstate
          (New Jersey)
       •  Northwest Pennsylvania - Youngstown Interstate (Ohio)
       •  Central Pennsylvania Intrastate
       0  South Central Pennsylvania Intrastate
       •  Southwest Pennsylvania Intrastate

       These AQCR's are also shown in Figure 2-1 and Table A-l in the
Appendix.  Also on Table A-l are the priority classifications for total
suspended particulates and sulfur dioxide, the projected 1975 population
in  each AQCR, and the  counties that have been proposed as Air Quality
Maintenance Areas.

2.2.2  Ambient Air Quality Standards
       Pennsylvania has adopted the Federal ambient air quality standards
for total suspended particulates and sulfur dioxide as shown on Table A-2.
The state has also adopted air quality standards for sulfates which are
shown  on this table.

2.2.3  Pennsylvania Air Quality Status
       Ambient  air quality data for 1973 are summarized in Tables A-3
and A-4 for suspended  particulates and sulfur dioxide respectively.  These
data are from the SAROAD data bank as of July 1974.  It should be noted
that not all of  the data that have been collected by the state are
necessarily in  the data bank.
                                   12

-------
       Total suspended participate levels exceeded the national  ambient
air quality standards in each of the six Air Quality Control  Regions
during 1973.  Significant reductions in the 1973 levels are needed in
order for the regions to attain air quality standards (Table  A-3).
Violations of the standards were most widespread in the Southwest
Pennsylvania region, where the 24-hour secondary standard was exceeded
at several monitoring sites.

       Sulfur dioxide levels exceeded ambient air quality standards  in
three Air Quality Control Regions during 1973 as shown in Table  A-4.
                              3
The annual standard of 80 yg/m  was not exceeded in the state but was
equalled in the Metropolitan Philadelphia AQCR.   Sulfur dioxide  air
quality data are not available for all of the regions.  The Central
Pennsylvania region is classified Priority III for SOp and air monitors
in this region were not required during 1973.  As mentioned previously,
the state in most likelihood has current air quality data which  were
not included in the SAROAD data bank, with which to make an assessment
of the air quality status with regard to sulfur dioxide.

2.2.4  Pennsylvania Emissions Summary
       A summary of particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions  are
presented in Tables A-6 and A-7 respectively.  These data are from the
1972 National Emissions Report, June 1974.  There are some limitations
in using these data which should be noted.  The emission inventory for
the major fuel combustion sources was conducted before many of the
sources installed emission control equipment, and some sources that
were operating at the time of the inventory are no longer in  operation.
A number of sources have come on-line since the inventory was completed,
therefore, emissions data for these sources are not incuded in the
National Emissions Data System (NEDS) and are not part of this report.

       The majority of particulate emissions are from area source fuel
combustion in all but one AQCR, whereas sulfur dioxide emissions are
primarily from point source fuel combustion, primarily power  plants.
                                  13

-------
       Table A-5 shows  the number of power plants  in each Air Quality
Control Region and the  number of major fuel  combustion point sources that
together with the power plants contribute a significant amount of the
particulate and sulfur  dioxide emissions.   Again  this information was
taken from NEDS, and it is understood that some sources may not be
included in this listing.   The table also shows that a majority of the
emissions are from Pennsylvania fuel combustion sources; therefore,  any
relaxation of the regulations may have a significant impact on existing
air quality.

2.3  BACKGROUND ON THE  DEVELOPMENT OF PENNSYLVANIA'S CURRENT STATE
     IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
2.3.1  Control Strategy For Particulate Matter And Sulfur Oxides
       The basis for recommending approval  of the  control  strategies
for attaining the national primary standards  for  particulate matter
and sulfur oxides in the Pennsylvania portion of  the Metropolitan
Philadelphia Interstate Region was a modeling analysis prepared by
EPA using the Implementation Planning Program (IPP).  This analysis  in-
cluded (1) an extensive update of the emissions inventories that had
been included in the "Existing Sulfur Oxides  and  Particulate Matter
Plans" submitted by Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey under the  1967
Clean Air Act and evaluated under the provisions  of Section 16 (Savings
Provision) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1970; (2) a careful cali-
bration of air quality  data and predicted concentrations;  and (3) the
application of the emission limitations submitted  with the final  plans.
This analysis supported the information presented  in the plan that the
primary standards for both pollutants will  be attained, but that an
extension is necessary  to  develop plans to attain  the secondary standards.
The emissions data, in  the IPP format, and the results of the diffusion
analysis are on file with  EPA.
                                   14

-------
       The basis for recommending approval of the primary sulfur oxides
control strategy for the Southwest Pennsylvania Intrastate Region was
a diffusion modeling analysis performed by Allegheny County.  This
modeling was found acceptable following its evaluation by IBM, under
contract, and EPA's Air Quality Management Branch.  This analysis used
the Air Quality Display Model (AQDM) to model three "hot spots" in
Allegheny County and demonstrated that the primary standards for sulfur
oxides would be attained around these "hop spots," and thus the primary
standards should be attained throughout the Region.

       The particulate matter rollback calculations for the Southwest
Pennsylvania Region indicated that the primary standards will be attain-
ed.  These calculations assumed no fugitive dust from the coking process
since these emissions are not allowed under Section 123.1 of Title 25.
However, the plan also contains a rollback calculation which shows the
effect of allowing the emissions from coking.  The primary standard will
be marginally attained in this case.

       In the control strategy evaluation for particulate matter and sulfur
oxides for the Southwest Pennsylvania Intrastate Region, it is unclear,
for those areas subject to the State's control regulations, how multiple
sources connected to a common flue are handled.  Since both the particu-
late matter and sulfur oxides emission-limiting regulations have a sliding
scale of allowable emissions, grouping sources connected to a common stack
would allow much less emissions than computing the allowable emissions for
each source and summing the total emissions.  Neither the control strategy
evaluation nor the State's emission-limiting regulations specify how such
units are handled.  However, regardless of the interpretation, the rollback
demonstrations do indicate attainment of the primary standards.  It also
should be noted that the Allegheny County regulations which apply to the
majority of the sources in the Region specify that multiple sources connec-
ted to a single stack shall be considered as one source, which is the most
stringent interpretation.
                                   15

-------
        The  Appendix  D  inventory for participate matter and sulfur oxides
 emissions  in  the  Southwest Pennsylvania Intrastate Region was omitted from
 the  final  submission of  the plan.  This information was included in the
 preliminary submission,  and  the rollback calculation was updated for the
 final  submission,  but  the detailed summary was not updated.

        For  the  Pennsylvania portion of the Metropolitan Philadelphia
 Interstate  Region  and  the Southwest Pennsylvania Intrastate Region, an
 18-month extension of  the deadline for submittal of the secondary sulfur
 oxides  and  particulate matter strategies has been granted.  It is strongly
 recommended that,  as part of  the secondary strategies, the emission inven-
 tories  should be  carefully updated and correlated with validated air quality
 data.   It  is entirely  possible that point sources which will be controlled
 were missed or  included  in the area sources, and thus the percent reduction
 realized may be greater  than  the reduction calculated.  In any event, the
 secondary strategies should be developed on an updated data base to prevent
 the  inclusion of  any erronious information which may be in the present data
base.
       To demonstrate attainment of the particulate matter national stan-
dards in the South Central Pennsylvania and Central Pennsylvania Intrastate
Regions and the Pennsylvania portions of the Northeast Pennsylvania-Upper
Delaware Valley and Northwest Pennsylvania-Youngstown Interstate Regions, a
modified example region approach was used.  This approach used the three
contiguous State-designated air basins - Allegheny County, Monongahela
Valley and Beaver Valley - and the Metropolitan Philadelphia Air Basin as
the example evaluation areas.  The percentage reduction in particulate
matter emissions obtained in these areas was applied to the appropriate
State-designated air basins located in the Federally-designated air
quality control regions.
                                  16

-------
       The percentage reduction in participate matter emissions obtained in
the "Composite Air Basin" (Allegheny County, Beaver Valley, and Monongahela
Valley Air Basins) was applied to the Johnstown Air Basin, the Erie Air
Basin the the Reading Air Basin, which have the highest particulate matter
concentrations in their respective Regions.  Since the Harrisburg Air Basin
more closely resembles the Metropolitan Philadelphia Air Basin with regard
to the ratio of point to area source emissions, the percentage reduction in
particulate matter obtained in the Philadelphia Air Basin was applied to
the Harrisburg Air Basin.  In all cases, the predicted air quality for 1975
was at or below the secondary particulate matter standards and, thus, the
strategy is recommended for approval for these Regions.
       The sulfur oxides control strategy for the Pennsylvania portions of
 the Northeast Pennsylvania-Upper Delaware Valley and Northwest Pennsylvania-
 Youngstown Interstate Regions, and the Central Pennsylvania and South Cen-
 tral Pennsylvania Intrastate Regions was also based on a modified example
 region concept.  The Reading Air Basin served as the example region for
 the air basins in these Regions, and the Southwest Pennsylvania Intrastate
 Region minus the "composite Air Basin" served as the example region for the
 non-air basin areas.  The Reading Air Basin will attain the secondary sulfur
 oxides standards and, thus, all the air basins which have better air qual-
 ity should attain the national standards.  The Southwest Pennsylvania
 Intrastate Region, minus the "Composite Air Basin," achieved a 19 percent
 reduction in emissions, and therefore, even the non-urban areas should
 achieve an improvement in air quality.  Therefore, the strategy to attain
 the secondary sulfur oxides standards in these Regions is recommended for
 approval,
       In all areas where the air quality is presently below the secon-
dary standards, the plan provides for maintaining the secondary stan-
dards.  This will be accomplished by:  (1) enforcement of state and/or
Federal new source performance standards; (2)  Pennsylvania's  control  of
construction and modifications of sources; and (3)  the provisions of
Section 141.1 of Title 25, which allows the Department of Environmental
Resources to impose more stringent standards for any source or class of
sources, if such action is necessary to maintain a national standard.
                                  17

-------
2.4  CURRENT STATUS  OF  PENNSYLVANIA'S  STATE  IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
       On April  15,  1974,  the  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania submitted to
the Regional Administrator a proposed  amendment to  the City of Philadel-
phia portion of  the  approved Pennsylvania  Implementation  Plan for the
attainment and maintenance of  national  ambient air  quality standards.

       The proposed  amendment  to  the Pennsylvania Implementation  Plan
was publicly advertised and a  hearing  was  held on September 5, 1973 in
accordance with  the  Requirements  for Preparation, Adoption and Submittal
of State Implementation Plans.

       The major provision of  the proposal would postpone  until March 31,
1975, a decrease in  sulfur in  fuel  oils  limits  from 0.5 percent to 0.3
percent.  This decrease had been  scheduled for October 1,  1973.   There
is also a provision  for allowing  non-commercial  fuel  users  to average
stack emissions  throughout a facility  if it  can be  shown that air
quality will not be  adversely  affected.
                                 18

-------
  3.0  CURRENT ASSESSMENTS BASED ON STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN REVIEW

       The purpose of this section is to evaluate the available information
for the State of Pennsylvania and determine the feasibility of revisions to
the SIP which would result in clean fuel conservation.   The assessments will
be made by AQCR, addressing each type of fuel combustion source:   power plants,
large industrial and commercial/institutional sources,  and area sources.
The assessments must be made for each pollutant separately and are made on
the basis of seven criteria:  (1) 1973 air quality violations; (2) ex-
pected NAAQS attainment dates; (3)  proposed Air Quality Maintenance Area
(AQMA) designations; (4) total emissions; (5) portion of emissions from
Pennsylvania fuel combustion sources; (6)  regional  tolerance for emissions
increase; and (7)  pollutant priority classifications.   Tables B-l and
B-2 tabulate these criteria for each AQCR for TSP and SO^, respectively.

       As mentioned previously, regional air quality data for 1973 are
presented in Tables A-3 and A-4 for total suspended  particulates  and
sulfur dioxide respectively.

       Table C-l shows the 1973 fuel use and sulfur  content of the fuel
for each power plant.  The sulfur content is an average content for the
year, as variations of up to 20% are common.  This information is from the
Federal Power Commission and was used in place of the NEDS data since it
is more current.  Also shown in this table is the projected fuel  use for
1975 for each plant, and the sulfur content of the fuel as required by
the State Implementation Plan.  Allowable sulfur content determined by
modeling results are also shown.   There are limitations to be considered
in using modeling results, because often assumptions are made in  the
input to the model, when actual data are not available.  Modeling results
        The modeling analysis of the power plants was performed by the Wai-
den Research Division of Abcor, Inc.  A single-source and valley model,
developed by the Meteorology Laboratory, EPA, was used.  The model employs
a Gaussian plume model  and Briggs plume rise equation.
                                   19

are presented here as another indicator in assessing the candidacy of a re-
gion to revise emission regulations.
       Appendix D shows the major industrial  fuel  combustion sources which
were significant emitters of particulates  and sulfur dioxide when the
emissions inventory was conducted.

3.1  AIR QUALITY CONTROL REGION #45,  METROPOLITAN  PHILADELPHIA
     (DELAWARE, NEW JERSEY)
3.1.1  Regional Assessment
       This AQCR exceeded both the  annual  and 24-hour secondary standards
for total suspended particulates during 1973.  The maximum annual average
of 87 yg/m3 and the second highest  24-hour average of 387 ug/m  were
recorded in Philadelphia, while the highest 24-hour average was recorded
in the Delaware portion of the AQCR.   Thirteen of  the monitoring stations
were in violation of the 24-hour secondary standard, (Table A-3), and a
significant reduction in the 1973 ambient  levels  is required for this
region to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulates.
This region is classified Priority  I  for particulate and has five counties
that have been proposed as Air Quality Maintenance Areas.  An 18-month
extension has been granted for the  attainment of  the secondary standard.
There is virtually no potential in  this region for relaxing particulate
emission limits.

Sulfur dioxide levels are slightly  exceeding  standards in this AQCR
which is classified Priority I for  this pollutant.  There are also five
counties proposed as AQMA's.  The highest  annual  average recorded was
80 ug/m  which occurred in the New  Jersey  portion  of the AQCR, while
the highest 24-hour average in 1973 of 416 yg/m3  occurred in Pennsylvania
(Table  A-4).   An 18-month extension has been  granted for the attainment
of the  standard for S02>   There is  little  potential for relaxing S02
emission limits in this region.
                                  20

-------
3.1.2  Power Plant Assessment
       There are eight power plants in the Pennsylvania portion of this
Air Quality Control Region.  These plants contributed 9,000 tons (1%) of
the particulate emission, and 207,000 tons (38%) of the sulfur dioxide
emissions.  During 1973 two plants, Cromby and Eddystone, burned both
coal and oil, while the remainder burned only oil (Table C-l).  The fuel
oil used by these plants had an average sulfur content of less than
0.5%.  Since total suspended particulate levels were exceeded in this
region it is unlikely that these plants could switch to coal  without
adversely affecting existing air quality.  Switching to a higher sulfur
content of fuel is also unlikely since sulfur dioxide levels  also
exceeded standards.

3.1.3  Industrial, Commercial, Institutional  Source Assessment
       Besides power plants, there are three  major sources of particulate
matter emissions, and five major sources of sulfur dioxide emissions in
the Pennsylvania portion of this Air Quality  Control Region which are
listed in Table D-l.  Point source fuel combustion from Pennsylvania
accounts for 117,000 tons per year (12%) of particulate emissions, and
126,000 tons per year (23%) of sulfur dioxide emissions within the state.
Since air quality standards are exceeded in this region for both pollu-
tants, there is little potential for clean fuel savings from  either a
switch from oil to coal, or from a low sulfur to high sulfur  content fuel,

3.1.4  Area Source Assessment
       Area source fuel use is shown in Table E-l.  Fuel combustion from
area sources accounts for 184,000 tons per year (19%) of particulate
emissions, and 174,000 tons per year (32%) of sulfur dioxide  emission in
the state.  It is assumed that large-scale conversions from gas or oil
to coal is impractical  for most small residential, commercial, institu-
tional and industrial facilities.   A switch  to a higher sulfur content
coal may adversely affect existing SO  levels.
                                  21

3.1.5  Fuel  Use Assessment
       Fuel  use data by source are shown in Appendix F.

3.2  AIR QUALITY CONTROL REGION #151,  NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA - UPPER
     DELAWARE VALLEY  (NEW JERSEY)
3.2.1  Regional Assessment
       This  Air Quality Control Region has  a Priority I  classification
for total suspended particulates and has five counties proposed as Air
Quality Maintenance Areas  for this pollutant.  Ambient levels of sus-
pended particulates exceeded both the  annual and 24-hour secondary
standards during 1973.   Of the 32 monitoring stations in this region,
3 stations exceeded the annual secondary standard,  and 7 stations ex-
ceeded the  24-hour secondary standard.   A  significant reduction in
the 1973 levels is needed  to achieve National Ambient Air Quality
Standards in this region,  and is rated a poor candidate  for revising
particulate  emission limits.

       Ambient air levels  of sulfur dioxide did not exceed either the
annual or the 24-hour standard in this AQCR during  1973  which is classified
Priority II  for this pollutant and has no proposed  AQMA  designations for
S09.  The highest annual arithmetic average in this region was 30 yg/m ,
                                              3
while the maximum 24-hour  average was  223 yg/m , both well below the
standards.  This region has a tolerance  for an increase  in ambient levels
while still  maintaining National Ambient Air Quality Standards based on
1973 data.

3.2.2  Power Plant Assessment
       Electricity generation contributed 14,000 tons per year (6%) of the
particulate  emissions,  and 156,000 tons  per year (57%) of the sulfur
dioxide emissions in the Pennsylvania  portion of this AQCR.  There are
four power plants operating in this region, with the largest, the
                                 22

-------
Portland plant, burning both coal and oil during 1973.  The fuel sulfur
content during 1973 shows a tolerance for an increase in the content
while still meeting the SIP requirements.  However, more recent data
supplied by the EPA Region III office shows that in January and February
1974, the average sulfur content increased over that required by the
SIP at all but one plant.

3.2.3  Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Source Assessment
       Besides power plants, there are two major sources of particulate
emissions and one source of sulfur dioxide emissions in the Pennsylvania
portion of the AQCR, which are listed in Table D-l.  Point source fuel
combustion contributes 8,000 tons (4%) of particulate emissions and
17,000 tons (6%) of S02 emissions in Pennsylvania.  Current fuel use
for these sources is not known.

3.2.4  Area Source Assessment
       Area source fuel combustion contributes 106,000 tons per year
(48%) of particulate emissions, and 10,000 tons per year (34%) of sulfur
dioxide emissions in the Pennsylvania Portion of the Air Quality Control
Region.  Area source fuel use is shown in Table E-l.  Fuel  switching
from oil or gas to coal is unlikely because of existing levels of par-
ticulate matter, and also because small residential, commercial and
industrial sources usually do not have the particulate emission controls
necessary for the amount of reduction needed in this region.

3.2.5  Fuel Use Assessment
       Fuel use data by source are shown in Appendix F.

3.3  AIR QUALITY CONTROL REGION #178, NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA - YOUNGSTOWN
     (OHIO)
                                  23

-------
3.3.1  Regional  Assessment
       Ambient levels  of total  suspended  particulates  exceeded both the
annual and 24-hour secondary  standards  in this  AQCR  during  1973.   This
region is classified Priority I  for suspended  particulates,  and has two
counties proposed as Air Quality Maintenance areas.  The maximum annual
                                  O
average in this  region was 92 yg/m ,  and  was recorded  in Erie County.
The highest 24-hour average of 695 yg/m  and second  highest  24-hour
average of 561 yg/m3 were both recorded in Lawrence  County.   Five of
the ten monitoring stations in this region violated  the  24-hour se-
condary standard.  A significant reduction in  the  1973 levels is  required
for this region  to achieve National Ambient Air Quality  Standards for
particulates and is rated a poor candidate for revision  of particulate
emission limits.

       Sulfur dioxide  air monitoring  data are  somewhat spurious in this
region.  There are four 24-hour bubblers, only  one of  which  is in
Pennsylvania, and it was the  only one that had  sufficient data to calcu-
late an annual arithmetic average.   The highest 24-hour  reading of 378
yg/m  was recorded in  the Ohio portion  of the AQCR and this  value was
used to determine the  amount  of reduction that  is  needed in  the 1973
levels in order  to attain air quality standards.   This AQCR  has a
Priority II classification for sulfur dioxide,  and has one county that
has been proposed as an Air Quality Maintenance Area.  This  region should
be examined in more detail  with  respect to air  monitoring data for sulfur
dioxide.

3.3.2  Power Plant Assessment
       Electric  power  generation contributes 14,000  tons per year (11%)
of the particulate emissions, and 173,000 tons  per year  (58%) of  the
sulfur dioxide emissions in the  Pennsylvania portion of  the  Air Quality
Control Region.   Table C-l  lists the  four power plants that  are projected
to be operating  in this region  in 1975  and their estimated fuel  use.
                                  24

-------
All of the plants are presently buring coal, and are projecting coal  use
in 1975.  The average sulfur content of the fuel used by these plants
during 1973 indicates that two of the plants have a tolerance for an
increase in fuel sulfur content and still meet SIP requirements, while
the other two plants must decrease the sulfur content.  The most signifi-
cant reduction is required at the New Castle plant in Lawrence County
which during 1973 burned 3.26% sulfur coal and must reduce this to
0.32% in 1975.  Modeling results indicate a reduction to 0.39% is needed.

       As more air quality data for sulfur dioxide become  available  for
this region, a better assessment of the air quality may be made, and  a
revision to the existing regulations should not be considered until
such time.

3.3.3  Industrial. Commercial, Institutional Source Assessment
       There are a number of point sources in the Pennsylvania portion
of this AQCR contributing a significant amount of particulate and
sulfur dioxide emissions which are listed in Table D-l.  Of the total
emissions in the State, point sources contribute 21,000 tons per year
(16%) of the particulate emissions, and 68,000 tons per year (23%) of
the sulfur dioxide emissions.  As with power plants, there is little
potential for revising emission limits for these sources unless there is
a more extensive study of existing air quality levels for sulfur dioxide,
indicating that regulations may be relaxed.

3.3.4  Area Source Assessment
       Area source fuel combustion accounts for 52,000 tons per year  (39%)
of particulate emissions, and 49,000 tons per year (17%) of sulfur dioxide
emissions in the Pennsylvania portion of the AQCR.  Fuel use by area
sources is shown in Table E-l.  Because suspended particulate levels  may
be exceeded, there is little potential for present facilities using gas or
oil to switch to coal.

3.3.5  Fuel Use Assessment
       Fuel use data by source are shown in Appendix F.
                                   25

-------
3.4  AIR QUALITY CONTROL REGION #195, CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA
3.4.1  Regional Assessment
       This AQCR is classified Priority I for total suspended participates
and has one county that has been proposed as an Air Quality Maintenance
Area.  Ambient levels of suspended particulates exceeded both the annual
and 24-hour secondary standards during 1973.  The maximum annual geometric
                 o                                              3
mean was 107 yg/m  , and the maximum 24-hour average was 411 yg/m .   The
annual standard was exceeded at two of the nine monitoring stations,
while the 24-hour secondary standard was exceeded at three of the stations.
A significant reduction of the 1973 levels is required to bring this
region into compliance with the standards, and is rated as a poor
candidate for revising particulate emission limits.

       Sulfur dioxide levels are difficult to assess in this region
because there is only one monitoring station and it had only three  valid
                                                                       q
values in 1973.  The highest 24-hour average in this region was 41  yg/m
                                  3
and the second highest was 11  yg/m .  There are no proposed AQMA
designations in this region, which has a Priority III classification for
S02.  Until more air quality data are available for this region, con-
sideration should not be given to relaxing the S02 emission limits.
It should be noted that in Priority III regions, air monitoring was not
required during 1973.

3.4.2  Power Plant Assessment
       Electric power generation contributes 90,000 tons per year (44%)
of the particulate emissions,  and 167,000 tons per year (67%) of the
sulfur dioxide emissions in this region.  Table C-l lists the four
power plants that are projected to be operating in this region in 1975,
and their estimated fuel  use.   During 1973, these plants burned coal
with a sulfur content lower than that required by the SIP, although the
difference  is  slight.   Modeling results are generally in agreement  with
                                  26

-------
the SIP requirements except for the Saxton plant in Bedford County.
The SIP requires 2.35% sulfur coal in 1975 whereas modeling results
indicate that only 1.89% will be allowable.  In assessing the power
plants in this region, it should be noted that except for the Sunbury
plant, these plants are small and have a fairly low-projected fuel  use
in 1975.  For instance, the Saxton plant will only burn 66,000 tons of
coal; therefore if more recent air quality data indicate that sulfur diox-
ide emission limits may be relaxed, there will  only be a minimal  amount
of clean fuel savings derived by the three plants.

3.4.3  Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Source Assessment
       Point source fuel combustion contributes a small percentage  of
the particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions in this AQCR.   Approxi-
mately 16,000 tons per year (8%) of the particulate emissions, and
28,000 tons per year (11%) of the sulfur dioxide emissions  are from these
sources.  The major fuel combustion  point sources are listed in  Table D-l.
All of the major point sources in this region used coal, therefore,
none could benefit if a change in the emission regulations  allowed  a
fuel switch.  These sources could achieve a clean fuel savings by
switching to a higher sulfur content coal if air quality data indicate
that sulfur dioxide levels within the region could be maintained  within
standards.

3.4.4  Area-Source Assessment
       Area source fuel combustion accounts for 50,000 tons per year
(25%) of particulate emissions, and 65,000 tons per year (12%) of sulfur
dioxide emissions in this region.  Area source fuel use is  shown  in
Table E-l.  There is a considerable amount of oil and natural gas used
in this region; however, there is little potential  for these sources
to switch to coal because of suspended particulate levels.   Also  it is
usually impractical for small  sources to switch fuels because of  the
cost involved.   If S02 emission limits were to be relaxed,  fuel savings
                                  27

-------
 could be  achieved  by  switching  to higher sulfur  coal  and  oil.   The
 present sulfur   content  of the  fuels used in this  region  is  not known.

 3.4.5  Fuel  Use  Assessment
        Fuel  use  data  by  source  are shown in Appendix  F.

 3.5   AIR  QUALITY CONTROL REGION #196, SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA
 3.5.1  Regional  Assessment
        This  region is  classified Priority I for  suspended particulates,
 and  has four counties  proposed  as Air Quality Maintenance Areas.
 Ambient air  levels of  suspended particulates exceeded both the
 annual  geometric mean  and 24-hour secondary standards during 1973.
 The  annual standard was  exceeded at two of the monitoring stations,
 while the 24-hour  standard was  exceeded at seven of the monitoring sites.
 The  highest  annual  geometric mean in the region was 88 yg/m  , while
                                                             o
 the  highest  and  second highest  24-hour readings were 366 yg/m   and
        2
 243  yg/m  respectively (Table A-3).  There is virtually no potential
 in this region for relaxing particulate emission limits, without adversly
 affecting existing  air quality.
       Sulfur dioxide monitoring data is not very comprehensive in this
AQCR.  There are three 24-hour bubbler stations in the region, however,
neither had sufficient data to determine an annual averave.  A maximum
of twenty valid values were collected at one of the stations, thirteen
valid values at another station, and only one valid value at the third
station.  The highest 24-hour reading was 93 yg/m3, and the second
highest was 61  yg/m .   This region is classified Priority II for sulfur
dioxide and has no proposed AQMA designations fcr this pollutant.
As with the previous AQCR that was discussed, more extensive air monitor--
ing data should be available before relaxation of S02 emission regulations
is considered.
                                  28

3.5.2  Power Plant Assessment

     •  Electricity generation accounts for 21,000 tons per pear (20%)
of the participate emissions, and 416,000 tons per year (74%) of sulfur
dioxide emissions in this region.  Table C-l lists the three power plants
that are projected to be operating in this region in 1975, and their
estimated fuel use.  All of these plants will be burning coal, although
in 1973, one of these burned coal and oil.  Modeling results indicate
that two of these plants may use a higher sulfur content of coal  than
that used during 1973.  The Holtwood plant in Lancaster County is
the exception.  This plant, which is the smallest in the region,  used
1.23%  sulfur coal in 1973.  The SIP requires 0.97% sulfur and modeling
results indicate that 0.7% sulfur coal will be needed to maintain air
quality standards in the vicinity of this plant.  There is a potential
in this AQCR for clean  fuel savings, although slight, if further air
monitoring data indicate that SOp emission limits may be revised.

3.5.3  Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Source Assessment
       Point source fuel combustion from sources other than power plants
contributes a small percentage of the emissions in this region.  Approx-
imately 16,000 tons per year (8%) of the particulate emissions, and
23,000 tons per year (4%) of the S02 emissions are from these sources.
Table D-l lists the major sources of these pollutants in this region.

3.5.4  Area Source Assessment
       Area Source fuel combustion contributes 58,000 tons per year
(43%) of the particulate emissions, and 65,000 tons per year (12%) of
the sulfur dioxide emissions in this region.  Area source fuel use is
shown in Table E-l.  As in the other regions, a switch from either gas
or oil  to coal  is unlikely because of existing ambient air levels of
particulate matter.  An increase in the sulfur content of the fuels used
may be possible if more air quality data for sulfur dioxide became
available indicating that SOp emission limits may be relaxed.
                                   29

3.5.5  Fuel Use Assessment
       Fuel use data by source are shown in Appendix F.

3.6  AIR QUALITY CONTROL REGION #197,  SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA
3.6.1  Regional Assessment
       Ambient air levels of suspended particulate matter exceeded both
the annual and 24-hour secondary standard during 1973.   This region has
a Priority I classification for total  suspended particulates and has
five counties that have been proposed  as Air Quality Maintenance Areas.
                                                           3
The highest annual geometric mean in this AQCR was 101  yg/m  while the
highest and second highest 24-hour averages recorded were 621 yg/m  and
        •D
443 yg/m  respectively.  The annual standard was exceeded at only one of
the 34 monitoring stations in the region; however, the  24-hour secondary
standard was exceeded at 24 stations (Table A-3).  A significant reduction
in the 1973 levels is required for this region to achieve National Am-
bient Air Quality Standards.  An 18-month extension has been granted
for attainment of the secondary standard for suspended  particulates.

       This region is classified Priority I for sulfur  dioxide also,
and again there are five counties with proposed AQMA designations.  Am-
bient levels of SOp exceeded the 24-hour standard; however, there were
insufficient air monitoring data to determine an annual arithmetic
average.  There are three 24-hour bubbler stations and  seven continuous
monitoring stations in this region, and the highest 24-hour reading of
965  yg/m  was recorded by continuous  monitoring.

       There is virtually no potential in this region for relaxing either
the particulate or sulfur dioxide emission limits in light of the 1973
air quality.

3.6.2  Power Plant Assessment
       The generation of electricity accounts for 93,000 tons (30%) of
the particulate emissions, and 950,000 tons (74%) of the sulfur dioxide
emissions  in this region.   Table C-l lists the power plants that are
                                   30

-------
projected to be operating in the region in 1975 and their estimated fuel
use.  There are modeling data available for most of these plants, and
they show good agreement with the SIP requirements for the allowable
sulfur content of the fuels used.  Many of the plants will require a
significant reduction in the coal sulfur content in order to meet the
SIP requirements.  The Cheswick plant in Allegheny County burned
2.03% sulfur coal in 1973 and will be required to reduce this to 0.33
by  1975.  The Elrama plant in Washington County burned 2.7% sulfur coal
in  1973; however, modeling results indicate that 0.6% sulfur will be
required, while the SIP allows only 0.3%.  Similar reductions are required
at  the Phillips and Springdale plants in Allegheny County, the Homer
City and Seward plants in Indiana County, the Keystone plant in Armstrong
County, and the Mitchell plant in Washington County.  Several plants may
increase the sulfur content according to modeling results and in some
cases by SIP requirements also.  The Conemaugh plant in Indiana County
which is the largest plant in the region burned 2.23% sulfur coal in
1973, and is allowed 2.28% by the SIP and 2.39% by modeling results.
The Hatfield plant in Green County, another large plant, burned 2.49%
sulfur coal in 1973, which is what is required under the SIP; however,
modeling results indicate that 3.0% is allowable and still maintain am-
bient air quality standards in the vicinity of the plant.

3.6.3  Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Source Assessment
       Point source fuel  combustion other than power plants contributed
36,000 tons per year (12%) of the particulate emissions, and 115,000 tons
per year (9%)  of the sulfur dioxide emissions in this region.  Table D-l
lists the major sources of these pollutants.  All of these sources are
burning coal,  in most cases of a high sulfur content.  There is a con-
siderable amount of oil and natural gas used by industrial point sources,
as shown in Appendix F.
                                   31

-------
3.6.4  Area Source Assessment
       Area source fuel  combustion accounts  for 129,000 tons  per year
(42%) of the particulate emission  and 125,000 tons  per year (10%) of the
sulfur dioxide emission  in this  region.   A  considerable amount of natural
gas is used by area sources (Appendix F); however,  there is little po-
tential for switching to coal  by these  sources  because of suspended
particulate levels.  In  most cases it is  impractical  for residential
sources to switch fuels, because of the costs involved.

3.6.5  Fuel Use Assessment
       Fuel use data by  source are shown  in  Appendix  F.
