TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
PART 52_APPROVAL AND PROMULGATION OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS
--Table of Contents
Subpart O_Illinois
Sec. 52.726 Control strategy: Ozone.
(a) Part D--Conditional Approval--The Illinois plan is approved
provided that the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) [Reserved]
[[Page 486]]
(2) The State conducts a study to demonstrate that the 75 percent
overall control efficiency requirement in Rule 205(n) represents RACT,
submits the results of the study to USEPA, and submits any necessary
regulations representing RACT to the Illinois Pollution Control Board.
The State must comply with these conditions by February 28, 1981. Any
necessary regulations must be finally promulgated by the State and
submitted to USEPA by February 28, 1982.
(3) Extension of Condition--USEPA approves the date of July 31, 1984
for the State of Illinois to satisfy the condition of approval to the
ozone State Implementation Plan listed in paragraph (a)(2) of this
section.
(b) Disapproval--USEPA disapproves the compliance schedule in Rule
205(j) as it applies to loading rack controls for all emission sources
subject to Rule 205(b)(1), as approved by USEPA on May 31, 1972 which
were required to be in compliance by December 31, 1973. This disapproval
does not in and of itself result in the growth restrictions of section
110(a)(2)(I).
(c) Negative Declarations--Stationary Source Categories. The State
of Illinois has certified to the satisfaction of USEPA that no sources
are located in the nonattainment areas of the State which are covered by
the following Control Technique Guidelines:
(1) High density polyethylene and polypropylene manufacturers.
(2) Vegetable oil processing sources with volatile organic compound
emissions equal to or greater than 100 tons per year.
(d) Part D Disapproval--The Administrator finds that Illinois' ozone
plan for Cook, Lake, DuPage and Kane Counties, which was required to be
submitted by July 1, 1982, does not satisfy all the requirements of Part
D, Title I of the Clean Air Act and, thus, is disapproved. No major new
stationary source, of major modification of a stationary source, or
volatile organic compounds may be constructed in Cook, Lake, DuPage or
Kane Counties, unless the construction permit application is complete on
or before November 16, 1988. This disapproval does not affect USEPA's
approval (or conditional approval) of individual parts of Illinois'
ozone plan, and they remain approved.
(e) Disapproval--The Administrator finds that the following State
rules have not been demonstrated to be consistent with the reasonably
available control technology requirements of section 172 of the Clean
Air Act, as amended in 1977, and thus, are disapproved: subpart F,
section 215.204(c); subpart F, section 215.206(b); subpart F, section
215.204(j)(4); subpart I; subpart AA; subpart PP; subpart QQ; subpart
RR; subpart A, section 215.102; subpart T; subpart H, section 215.245;
subpart F, section 215.207; and subpart A, section 215.107, all of title
35; Environmental Protection; subtitle B: Air Pollution; Chapter 1:
Pollution Control Board of the Illinois Administrative Code (June 1989).
(f) On September 30, 1992, the State submitted rules regulating
volatile organic compound emissions from gasoline dispensing facilities'
motor vehicle fuel operations (Stage II vapor recovery rules) in the
Chicago ozone nonattainment area. The Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency Bureau of Air must as part of the program conduct inspections of
facilities subject to this rule to ensure compliance with the applicable
rules. These inspections will be conducted on an annual basis or an
alternative schedule as approved in the USEPA Fiscal Year Inspection
Program Plan.
(g) Approval--The Administrator approves the incorporation of the
photochemical assessment ambient monitoring system submitted by Illinois
on November 4, 1993, into the Illinois State Implementation Plan. This
submittal satisfies 40 CFR 58.20(f) which requires the State to provide
for the establishment and maintenance of photochemical assessment
monitoring stations (PAMS) by November 12, 1993.
(h) Approval--On November 12, 1993, the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency submitted an ozone redesignation request and
maintenance plan for Jersey County ozone nonattainment area and
requested that Jersey County be redesignated to attainment for ozone.
The redesignation request and maintenance plan meet the redesignation
requirements in section
[[Page 487]]
107(d)(3)(d) of the Act. The redesignation meets the Federal
requirements of section 182(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act as a revision to
the Illinois ozone State Implementation Plan for Jersey County.
(i) The base year (1990) ozone emission inventory requirement of
section 182(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, has been
satisfied for the following Illinois ozone nonattainment areas: the
Chicago nonattainment area--Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will and McHenry
Counties, Aux Sable and Gooselake Townships in Grundy County, and Oswego
Township in Kendall County; the Metro-East St. Louis nonattainment
area--Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair Counties; and Jersey County.
(j) Approval--On July 14, 1994, Illinois submitted two of three
elements required by section 182(d)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Amendments of
1990 to be incorporated as part of the vehicle miles traveled (VMT)
State Implementation Plan intended to offset any growth in emissions
from a growth in vehicle miles traveled. These elements are the
offsetting of growth in emissions attributable to growth in VMT which
was due November 15, 1992, and, transportation control measures (TCMs)
required as part of Illinois' 15 percent reasonable further progress
(RFP) plan which was due November 15, 1993. Illinois satisfied the first
requirement by projecting emissions from mobile sources and
demonstrating that no increase in emissions would take place. Illinois
satisfied the second requirement by submitting the TCMs listed in Table
1 which are now approved into the Illinois SIP.

(k) Approval--EPA is approving the section 182(f) oxides of nitrogen
(NOX) reasonably available control technology (RACT), new
source review (NSR), vehicle inspection/maintenance (I/M), and general
conformity exemptions for the Illinois portion of the Chicago-Gary-Lake
County severe ozone nonattainment area as requested by the States of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin in a July 13, 1994 submittal.
This approval does not cover the exemption of NOX
transportation conformity requirements of section 176(c) for this area.
Approval of these exemptions is contingent on the results of the final
ozone attainment demonstration expected to be submitted in mid-1997. The
approval will be modified if the final attainment demonstration
demonstrates that NOX emission controls are needed in the
nonattainment area to attain the ozone standard in the Lake Michigan
Ozone Study modeling domain.
(l) Approval--The United States Environmental Protection Agency is
approving under section 182(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act the exemption of
the Chicago severe, ozone nonattainment area from the build/no-build and
less than-1990 interim transportation conformity oxides of nitrogen
requirements as requested by the State of Illinois in a June 20, 1995
submittal. In light of the modeling completed thus far and considering
the importance of the OTAG process and attainment plan modeling efforts,
USEPA grants this NOX waiver on a contingent basis. As the
OTAG modeling results and control recommendations are completed in 1996,
this information will be incorporated into attainment plans being
developed by the LADCO States. When these attainment plans are submitted
to USEPA in mid-1997, these new modeling analyses will be reviewed to
determine if the NOX waiver should be continued, altered, or
removed. USEPA's rulemaking action to reconsider the initial
NOX waiver may occur simultaneously with rulemaking action on
the attainment plans. The USEPA also reserves the right to require
NOX emission controls for transportation sources under
section 110(a)(2)(D) of the Act if future ozone modeling demonstrates
that such controls are needed to achieve the ozone standard in downwind
areas. The Chicago severe ozone nonattainment area includes the Counties
of Cook, DuPage, Grundy (Aux Sable and Gooselake Townships), Kane,
Kendall (Oswego Township), Lake, McHenry, and Will.
(m) [Reserved]
(n) Negative declaration-- Shipbuilding and ship repair industry. On
October 11, 1996, the State of Illinois certified to the satisfaction of
the United States Environmental Protection Agency that no major sources
categorized as part of the shipbuilding and ship repair industry are
located in the Chicago, Illinois ozone nonattainment area which is
comprised of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will
[[Page 490]]
Counties and Aux Sable and Goose Lake Townships in Grundy County and
Oswego Township in Kendall County or the Metro-East, Illinois ozone
nonattainment area which is comprised of Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair
Counties.
(o) Negative declaration-- Aerospace manufacturing and rework
industry. On October 11, 1996, the State of Illinois certified to the
satisfaction of the United States Environmental Protection Agency that
no major sources categorized as part of the Aerospace Manufacturing and
Rework Industry are located in the Chicago, Illinois ozone nonattainment
area which is comprised of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will
Counties and Aux Sable and Goose Lake Townships in Grundy County and
Oswego Township in Kendall County or the Metro-East, Illinois ozone
nonattainment area which is comprised of Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair
Counties.
(p) Approval--On November 15, 1993, Illinois submitted 15 percent
rate-of-progress and 3 percent contingency plans for the Chicago ozone
nonattainment area as a requested revision to the Illinois State
Implementation Plan. These plans satisfy sections 182(b)(1), 172(c)(9),
and 182(c)(9) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.
(q) Approval--On November 15, 1993, Illinois submitted 15 percent
rate-of-progress and 3 percent contingency plans for the Metro-East St.
Louis ozone nonattainment area as a requested revision to the Illinois
State Implementation Plan. These plans satisfy sections 182(b)(1) and
172(c)(9) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.
(r) Approval--On November 15, 1993, Illinois submitted the following
transportation control measures as part of the 15 percent rate-of-
progress and 3 percent contingency plans for the Metro-East ozone
nonattainment area: Work trip reductions; transit improvements; and
traffic flow improvements.
(s) On October 10, 1997, Illinois submitted a site-specific revision
to the State Implementation Plan, in the form of a letter from Bharat
Mathur, Chief, Bureau of Air, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
This October 10, 1997, letter requests a change in regulatory status for
Riverside Laboratories, Inc.'s Kane County facility, to reflect that the
Federal site-specific rule for Riverside (40 CFR 52.741(e)(10)) has been
superseded by the State of Illinois regulations, including the emission
limits in 35 Illinois Administrative Code 218.204(c) and the associated
control requirements, test methods and recordkeeping requirements in
Part 218 and the associated definitions in part 211. These State
regulations shall become the federally approved regulations applicable
to Riverside on August 31, 1998. The site-specific rule, applicable to
Riverside, promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency on August
21, 1995 (40 CFR 52.741(e)(10)), remains in effect and is enforceable
after August 31, 1998 for the period before August 31, 1998.
(t) The Illinois volatile organic compound (VOC) rules that apply to
the Stepan Company Millsdale Plant for volatile organic liquid storage
(35 Ill. Admin. Code Part 218, Subpart B), batch processing (35 Ill.
Admin. Code Parts 218 and 219, Subpart V) and continuous reactor and
distillation processes (35 Ill. Admin. Code Part 218, Subpart Q) were
approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on
August 8, 1996, April 2, 1996, and June 17, 1997, respectively. Because
these rules have been approved into the State Implementation Plan and
represent reasonably available control technology for VOC, USEPA revokes
the June 29, 1990 Federal Implementation Plan as it applies to Stepan
and replaces it with Illinois' volatile organic liquid storage, batch
process, and continuous reactor and distillation process rules.
(u) Negative declaration--Industrial wastewater category. On October
2, 1998, the State of Illinois certified to the satisfaction of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency that no major sources
categorized as part of the Industrial wastewater category are located in
the Metro-East ozone nonattainment area (Metro-East). The Metro-East
area is comprised of Madison, Monroe and St. Clair Counties which are
located in southwest Illinois, adjacent to St. Louis, Missouri.
(v) Negative declaration--Industrial cleaning solvents category. On
October 2, 1998, the State of Illinois certified to
[[Page 491]]
the satisfaction of the United States Environmental Protection Agency
that no major sources categorized as part of the Industrial cleaning
solvents category are located in the Metro-East ozone nonattainment area
(Metro-East). The Metro-East area is comprised of Madison, Monroe and
St. Clair Counties which are located in southwest Illinois, adjacent to
St. Louis, Missouri.
(w) Approval--On December 18, 1997, December 17, 1999, January 14,
2000, and January 21, 2000, Illinois submitted a post-1996 Rate Of
Progress Plan for the Chicago ozone nonattainment area as a requested
revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan. This plan reduces
ozone precursor emissions by 9 percent from 1990 baseline emissions by
November 15, 1999. This plan also supports a mobile source emissions
budget of 279.3 tons/day of volatile organic compounds for
transportation conformity purposes.
(x) Approval--On December 18, 1997, Illinois submitted a contingency
measure plan as part of the Chicago Area post-1996 Rate of Progress
Plan. This plan reduces volatile organic compound emissions in the
Chicago ozone nonattainment area by 3 percent from 1990 baseline
emissions by November 15, 1999.
(y) Approval--On December 18, 1997, Illinois submitted
Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) as part of the post-1996 Rate Of
Progress Plan for the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. The TCMs being
approved are listed in the following documents published by the Chicago
Area Transportation Study: ``Transportation Control Measures
Contribution to the Post-1996 Rate-Of-Progress State Implementation
Plan,'' March 22, 1996; ``Transportation Control Measures Contribution
to the 9 percent Control Strategy State Implementation Plan,'' June 11,
1998; and ``1999 Transportation Control Measures Contribution to the 9
percent Rate of Progress Control Strategy State Implementation Plan,''
December 9, 1999.
(z) Negative declaration--Industrial cleaning solvents category. On
December 23, 1999, the State of Illinois certified to the satisfaction
of the United States Environmental Protection Agency that no major
sources categorized as part of the industrial cleaning solvents category
are located in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. The Chicago ozone
nonattainment area includes Cook County, DuPage County, Aux Sable and
Goose Lake Townships in Grundy County, Kane County, Oswego Township in
Kendall County, Lake County, McHenry County and Will County.
(aa) Negative declaration--Industrial wastewater category. On
December 23, 1999, the State of Illinois certified to the satisfaction
of the United States Environmental Protection Agency that no major
sources categorized as part of the Industrial Wastewater Category are
located in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. The Chicago ozone
nonattainment area includes Cook County, DuPage County, Aux Sable and
Goose Lake Townships in Grundy County, Kane County, Oswego Township in
Kendall County, Lake County, McHenry County and Will County.
(bb) Approval--Revisions to the SIP submitted by Illinois on
November 15, 1999; February 10, 2000; April 13, 2001; and April 30,
2001. The revisions are for the purpose of satisfying the attainment
demonstration requirements of section 182(c)(2)(A) of the Act for the
Metro-East St. Louis area. The revision establishes an attainment date
of November 15, 2004, for the St. Louis moderate ozone nonattainment
area. This revision establishes MVEBs for 2004 of 26.62 TPD of VOC and
35.52 TPD of NOX to be used in transportation conformity in
the Metro-East St. Louis area until revised budgets pursuant to MOBILE6
are submitted and found adequate. In the revision, Illinois commits to
revise its VOC and NOX transportation conformity budgets
within two years of the release of MOBILE6. No conformity determinations
will be made during the second year following the release of MOBILE6
unless and until the MVEBs have been recalculated using MOBILE6 and
found adequate by EPA. EPA is granting a waiver for the Metro East St.
Louis area to the state of Illinois from the NOX RACT
requirements of the Act and disapproving the request for a waiver from
the NOX NSR and NOX general conformity
requirements. EPA is finding that the Contingency Measures
[[Page 492]]
identified by Illinois are adequate to meet the requirements of the Act.
EPA finds that the Illinois SIP meets the requirements pertaining to
RACM under the Act for the Metro-East St. Louis area.
(cc) Approval--Illinois has adopted and USEPA has approved
sufficient NOX emission regulations to assure that it will
achieve the level of NOX emissions budgeted for the State by
USEPA. USEPA has made two minor budget revisions requested by Illinois,
adding a boiler owned by LTV Steel and deleting a boiler owned by the
University of Illinois from the inventory of large NOX
sources.
(dd) Chicago Ozone Attainment Demonstration Approval--On December
26, 2000, Illinois submitted a one-hour ozone attainment demonstration
plan as a requested revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan.
This plan includes: A modeled demonstration of attainment and associated
