Looming Air Quality Issues that could impact South Dakota's Full Attainment Status 1. EPA's Proposed 111(b) Rules • EPA's pl an to cut carbon di ox ide emissions from NEW power plan ts. * EP A's carbon di ox ide li mit for c oa l-fired plants - 1,100 pounds per megawatt-ho ur * EP A's carbon dioxide li mit for na tural-gas fired plants - 1,000 po un ds per megawatt -hour for larger units • Result wi ll be no new coal-fired plants built as th e technology to meet the lli mi ts for new coal- fi red plants is not commercia ll y available. 2. EPA's Proposed 111(d) Rules • EPA's pl an to cut carbon di ox ide emissions from EXISTING power plants • South Dakota has on ly one coal-fired power plant (Big Stone n ea r M il ba nk ) and one natural gas combined cyc le plant (Deer Cr ee k near Brookin gs) * About 74 per ce nt of our electrical production in 20 12 was renewable (50 per ce nt hydropower and 24 per ce nt wind) mak in g us a leader in low carbon em issions wi th only three states em itt: in g less ca rbon dioxide t ha n South Dakota. * Result wi ll be EP A's standard fo r SD of on ly 741 pou nd s per megawatt-hour is not possible wi th out shutting down th e B ig Stone plant an d stranding $384 mil li on of pollution controls currently under co nstruc ti on to meet EP A's Regional Haze ru le. * HB 1203 jeopardizes our potential li tigation ag ai nst EPA 3. EPA's Proposed Ozone Rules • As in dicat ed by gra ph s on preceding page, South Dako ta 's air meets ALL federal ambient air qua li ty standards, but EPA re cently proposed to lower th e air quali ty standard for ozone from th e current level of 0.075 pa rts per mi ll ion to bet vvee n 0.060 and 0.070. • DENR monitors ozone at six si tes th ro ug hout th e state; the g ra ph bel ow shows ozone co n ce ntrations at all six sites are GREATER than 0.060 parts per mi ll ion. • If South Dakota does not meet th e n ew lower ozone st an dard, EPA w il l impose cont ro l measures at a sig ni · ficant cost that wi ll result in no envi ro nmental benefit. 0 !lCl1 a. 0 10 7
