DescriptionThe State of New Jersey is finalizing Reasonably Achievable Control Technology (RACT) revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) to address the 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The Clean Air Act requires nonattainment areas to implement Reasonably Available Control Measures (RACM), which include RACT, to attain the ozone NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable. SIP revisions include a commitment to propose more stringent RACT rules regulating certain source-specific categories with the greatest potential of reducing emissions of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds, both precursors to the formation of ozone. Some RACT rules are over a decade old and do not reflect advancements in technology that are currently available. The United States Department of Environmental Protection (USEPA) defines RACT as the lowest emissions limitation that a source can meet using control technology that is reasonably available. This SIP revision finalizes a schedule for completing RACT rule revisions. This SIP revision also addresses certain related requirements for the affected source categories with respect to other aspects of the ozone, fine particulate, haze and regional transport SIPs.
NotePurpose: To finalize Reasonably Achievable Control Technology (RACT) revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) to address the 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
