Section 231-12.8 - Federal class I significant impact levels

For the purposes of the PSD increment impact analysis in support of provisions of Subparts 231-7 and 231-8 of this Part, the following significant impact levels will be used to determine whether a new or modified facility will have a significant air quality impact in Federal class I areas:

Regulated NSR ContaminantAnnual Average24 Hour Average3 Hour Average
Sulfur Dioxide0.1 (MICRO)g/m30.2 (MICRO)g/m31.0 (MICRO)g/m3
Nitrogen Dioxide0.1 (MICRO)g/m3Not applicableNot applicable
PM-100.2 (MICRO)g/m30.3 (MICRO)g/m3Not applicable
CONot applicableNot applicableNot applicable
PM-2.50.06 (MICRO)g/m30.07 (MICRO)g/m3Not applicable

An analysis demonstrating that the maximum impacts from the proposed new or modified facility for any regulated NSR contaminant are below these significant impact levels in PSD defined class I areas will be deemed adequate as the required impact analysis to demonstrate that the source will not contribute to a standards violation or a PSD increment exceedance for that regulated NSR contaminant. However, such a demonstration will not exclude the performance of any other required impact analysis to satisfy other applicable provisions of Subparts 231-7 to 231-10 of this Part, including the modeling for air quality related values in Federal class I areas.
