THE ADMINISTRATOR |
The Honorable John Kasich |
Governor of Ohio |
State Capitol |
Columbus, Ohio 43215 |
Dear Governor Kasich: |
I am writing to summarize the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s recent decisions relating to sulfur dioxide (SO₂) air quality in your state. As required by section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act, the EPA is moving forward to determine which areas are meeting the 2010 1-hour health-based national ambient air quality s... |
On June 3, 2010, the EPA strengthened the health-based or “primary” standard for SO₂ by establishing a 1-hour standard at a level of 75 parts per billion. On July 25, 2013, the EPA designated 29 areas in 16 states as nonattainment, but did not at that time designate other areas. Pursuant to a March 2, 2015, court-order... |
To meet the first of these deadlines, the EPA is designating areas “nonattainment”, “unclassifiable/attainment”, or “unclassifiable” after evaluating: |
1. newly monitored violations of the 2010 SO₂ standard based on the most recent 3 calendar years of certified air monitoring data, and |
2. areas that contain any stationary source that had not been announced, as of March 2, 2015, for retirement and that according to the EPA’s Air Markets Database emitted in 2012 either (i) more than 16,000 tons of SO₂ or (ii) more than 2,600 tons of SO₂ with an annual average emission rate of at least 0.45 pounds of SO... |
After reviewing all available data and information for this round of designations, I am pleased to inform you that the EPA is designating parts of your state that meet the 2010 primary SO₂ standard as “unclassifiable/attainment.” States should work to maintain SO₂ air quality that meets the EPA’s health-base standard i... |

In addition, the EPA has insufficient information to determine whether some portions of your state meet the 2010 primary SO₂ standard. As a result, the EPA is designating such areas “unclassifiable.” Consistent with the EPA’s August 21, 2015, SO₂ Data Requirements Rule, states are required for areas with sources emitti... |
The enclosed table lists the areas within Ohio that the EPA is designating during this round of designations. A detailed explanation of the EPA’s rationale for these designations is available in the Technical Support Document (TSD) for each area in your state. The TSDs are available on the web at: https://www.epa.gov/s... |
As provided in the EPA’s SO₂ Data Requirements Rule, the EPA will designate all remaining areas by either December 31, 2017, or December 31, 2020. We expect that additional information collected as a result of the SO₂ Data Requirements Rule will inform these future actions. Our approach focuses resources on identifying... |
