Florida Data Requirements Rule Annual Report 2026

On July 1, 2026, pursuant to the ongoing data requirements of the EPA's DRR in 40 CFR 51.1205, the department submitted the final 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:

• Jacksonville Electric Authority’s (JEA's) Northside Generating Station.
• WestRock CP, LLC’s Fernandina Beach Mill (WestRock).

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.
