April 24, 2023, pursuant to the ongoing data requirements of the EPA's DRR in 40 CFR 51.1205, the department submitted a proposed annual report to EPA for the areas around two DRR-applicable sources in Florida that EPA designated "Attainment/Unclassifiable" for the 2010 one-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) based on modeling of actual SO2 emissions. The two sources subject to the ongoing data requirements are:
The DRR requires that these areas be reviewed annually to document the annual SO2 emissions of each applicable source in each such area and determine whether additional modeling is needed to characterize the air quality in any area.
The annual report documents SO2 emissions decreases for both areas.
For additional information, please contact Elizabeth Rogers.
