\nREQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS ON
\nDRAFT REGIONAL HAZE PROGRESS REPORT FOR
\nSECOND PLANNING PERIOD REGIONAL HAZE
\n STATE IMPLMENTATION PLAN<\/p>\n

(Docket No. 24-CA-PA-14)<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

In accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §51.308(g) of the Regional Haze Rule (RHR), the Department of Health, State of Hawaii (DOH), is offering a public comment period on the Draft Regional Haze Progress Report for Hawaii’s second planning period (2018 – 2028) Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (RH-SIP). The public comment period is being provided prior to submitting the progress report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. <\/p>\n

<\/font>The primary purpose of the RHR is to assure reasonable progress toward meeting the national goal of preventing any future, and remedying any existing, visibility impairment in Mandatory Federal Class I areas from manmade pollution. Hawaii’s Mandatory Federal Class I areas are Haleakala National Park on Maui Island and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island (Hawaii Island). The ultimate goal of the RHR is to achieve natural visibility conditions in Class I areas by 2064.<\/p>\n

<\/font>Regional haze causes visibility impairment over a large region primarily from sources that emit fine particulate and its precursors into the air. Fine particulate that absorb and scatter light to cause the haze include sulfates, nitrates, organic carbon, elemental carbon, soil dust, and sea salt. Sources of particulate can be manmade (e.g., fuel oil combustion) or from natural events (e.g., Kilauea volcano).<\/font> <\/p>\n

<\/font>The progress report found that statewide sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOX), and particulate (PM10 and PM2.5) have reduced significantly from 2014 to 2020. Primary particulate from combustion sources along with SO2 and NOX that react to form fine secondary particulate (sulfates and nitrates) can cause haze and were pollutants of concern in Hawaii’s second planning period RH-SIP. A contributing factor to the statewide emissions reductions are clean energy programs implemented by the state to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions will reduce significantly further as combustion equipment is retired and/or retrofitted with controls because of federally enforceable permit conditions specified in the second planning period RH-SIP.
\n<\/font>
\n<\/font>While a significant contributor to the visibility degradation has been due to the ongoing release of SO2 from Kilauea volcano with emissions that vary by hundreds and thousands of tons from one year to another, in years that the volcano is not erupting, the data shows that air pollution sources on the islands of Maui and Hawaii have the potential to contribute more significantly to regional haze in Hawaii’s national parks. Significant reductions in SO2, NOx, PM10 and PM2.5 from large stationary sources on Maui and Hawaii Island will result from control measures specified in Hawaii’s second planning period RH-SIP for improving visibility.<\/p>\n

<\/font>The DOH has determined that control strategies in the existing RH-SIP are adequate for Hawaii to meet the 2028 reasonable progress goals. Therefore, Hawaii declares that no further revision of the second planning period RH-SIP is needed at this time. <\/p>\n

<\/font>The <\/font>DRAFT REGIONAL HAZE PROGRESS REPORT<\/b><\/font> and associated <\/font>APPENDICIES<\/b><\/font> are available for public inspection during regular office hours, Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., at the following locations and online at: <\/font>https://health.hawaii.gov/cab/regional-haze/<\/b><\/u><\/font>:<\/p>\n
