                                   SCOPE
     This report summarizes State Implementation Plan regulations on the
emission of nitrogen 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.  The regulations generally do not apply to NOX emissions from
incineration, wood burning, or for fuel used as a raw material for chemical
processes.

     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 NOX regulations which may be more stringent than SIP emission require-
ments.  While fuel burning sources may be required to comply with these
regulations, in most cases local regulations are not included in this summary.

                  FOR NITROGEN OXIDES:
                     FUEL COMBUSTION


                              INTRODUCTION

     This report contains a summary of each State's implementation plan
regulations  for the emission of nitrogen 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 three appendices.  Appendix A outlines the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards, Appendix  B summarizes the Federal
new source regulations for  NOX, and Appendix C explains how to convert
units of measure of nitrogen oxide regulations to a common basis.

     This document is not an official EPA listing of SIP emission regula-
tions for NOX, 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.

     This summary provides  a data base of NOX regulations for use by EPA
and other organizations in  analyzing the issues of NOX control and National
fuels policies.  The summary was  compiled from State regulations  published
in the Environment Reporter and the Code £f Federal Regulations and incor-
porates revisions that have been  approved through June 1, 1978.  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 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, AMD 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 pollutants—sulfur 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).  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 otal 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 the secondary
standard 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 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 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 endan-
germent 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.

                    NITROGEN OXIDE EMISSION REGULATIONS
     In the following summary of State Implementation Plan regulations for
NOX, 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 equipment on which the regulation is
enforced, the method for computing heat input values, and 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 explana-
tion of the regulation.  Where needed for clarity, further explanatory infor-
mation about the regulation is presented at the end of each summary in a
paragraph entitled "NOTES."

     Currently, 32 states have SIP regulations which limit the emission of NOX
from fuel combustion units.  Of these 32 states, 11 states regulate NOX emissions
from both new and existing sources and 21 states regulate new sources only.
Most of the new source regulations for NOX are the same as the current Federal
New Source Performance Standards except for New Mexico and Vermont which have
stricter regulations for coal burning.  Massachusetts and parts of California
have regulations for new and existing sources which are stricter than the NSPS.
The remaining 23 states and territories have no emission limiting regulations
for fuel combustion sources.  Some of these 23 states have no NOX emission
regulations for any stationary source emitter (designated "No Emission Regulation"
in the following summary) while others have regulations for some categories of
stationary sources, but no regulations applicable to fuel combustion  (designated
"No Emission Limit" in the summary).  Nitrogen oxide emissions are most commonly
regulated by limiting the amount of  nitrogen dioxide emitted per unit heat input
(#N02/MMBtu).  Some states, however,  limit the N02 concentration in effluent
gas (parts per million or ppm N02 by volume) or the mass rate of emissions
(#N02/hr).  The stringency of NOX emission limits generally varies  according

-------
to the type of fuel burned and, in some cases, also according to the type of
firing, rate of gas flow, or size of the combustor

is a guide for assessing SIPs to
achieve the 24-hour secondary standard.


On 12/14/77, sodium arsenite and TGS-ANSA
were designated as equivalent methods
for measuring 24-hour samples.
The FRM measures Os (ozone)
The HC standard is a guide to devising
SIPs to achieve the Oxidant standard.
The HC standard does not have to be
met if the oxidant standard is met.

                      II.  THE  FEDERAL STANDARDS OF  PERFORMANCE

 Fossil-Fuel  Fired Steam  Generating Units
 (Constructed or  modified after August 17,  1971
 with  Q  >  250 MMBtu/hr):

   1.  Solid  Fuel                                       0.7 #N02/MMBtu
   2.  Liquid Fuel                                       0.3 #N02/MMBtu

 NOTES:  1.   Installation of a  continuous monitoring system is required  if the
             initial  performance test results show that nitrogen  oxide emissions
             are greater  than 70% of  the applicable standard.

        2.   EPA plans  to propose the following revised standards  for new  sources:

             A.  Allowable  Emissions
                 (1)   Solid  fuels:

                      a.  Subbituminous  coal, shale oil
                         and any fuel derived from coal     0.5  #N02/MMBtu
