Point Source Information
6
NOx and VOC Emissions from NE Ohio Point
Sources (2002)
Actual emissions as reported by the permittees
7
Point Source Regulatory Requirements

• Required to obtain Air Quality Permits
  (Federal, State and/or Local)
• Governing Regulations (can vary)
• - Title V of the Clean Air Act
• - NOx State Implementation Plan Call
• - Clean Air Act Interstate Rule
• - Others

8
Point Source Regulatory Requirements

• NOx and VOC emission limits
• Air emissions testing requirements
• Compliance reporting requirements
• Inspected by USEPA, Ohio EPA, and/or
  Cleveland DAQ

Compliance Very Good

NOx and VOC Emissions (2003 2004)
- Cleveland DAQ (Cuyahoga County) -
Ohio EPA (surrounding counties)
Workgroup reviewing Data

40 Reduction in OC Emissions (1990 2004)
5,685
2,211

Additional Point Source reductions will be
required for NE Ohio to achieve Attainment
We must all hang together, or assuredly, we
will all hang separately

Next Steps Point Source Workgroup

• Quickly Review EPAs Air Emissions Model
• - Accuracy of Data
• - Consistency
• - Point Source - average day (annual)
• - Mobile Sources - average day (summer)
  - Regional Growth Factors (Population
  Industry)

15
Next Steps Point Source Workgroup

• Ask Selected Major Sources to
• - Review 2002 Data for accuracy
• - Report changes in operations since 2004
• - Report anticipated emissions reductions
  from present - 2009 (prior to 1/1/2010)
• - Investigate potential voluntary
  reductions (Install low NOx burners)

16
Next Steps Point Source Workgroup

• Investigate SIP Credits for Energy
  Efficiency Measures
• - Action taken by Commercial,
  Industrial,Institutional and Residential
  Sectors to reduce electricity usage
• Result - Lower Emissions
  from Power Plants

17
Next Steps Point Source Workgroup

• Investigate Potential Emission Reduction
  Strategies
• - RACT Rules
• - LADCO Control Strategies
• - Source Specific Control Strategies

18
Next StepsPoint Source Workgroup

• Look at
• Dry Cleaners
• Lawn Mowers
• Weed Whackers
