IDEM’s MissionWe Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment

IDEM is responsible for protecting human health and the environment while providing for safe industrial, agricultural, commercial and governmental operation vital to a prosperous economy.

Page 3: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

How Does IDEM Protect Hoosiers and Our Environment?

Develop regulations and issue permits to restrict discharges to the environment to safe levels.

Inspect and monitor permitted facilities to ensure compliance with the permits.

Use compliance assistance and/or enforcement when people exceed their permit levels or violate regulations.

Educate people on their environmental responsibilities.

Potential Regulatory Issues--Air• New 75 ppb 1 hour SO2 Air Quality Standard.

• New 100 ppb short term NOx Air Quality Standard.• EPA reconsideration of 0.075 ozone standard and

15 microgram/cubic meter PM2.5 Air Quality Standards.

• EPA inaction on redesignation requests.

Climate Change & GHG• Indiana joined the litigation challenging the

endangerment finding.• Indiana believes that the tailoring rule is

fundamentally legally flawed.• The current federal administration firmly

believes that the science supports the opinion that the earth is warming due to human GHG emissions.

17

Page 18: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Climate Change & GHG• An alternative way to frame the discussion is

to compare the costs and benefits of deep reductions in GHG emissions with the projected costs and benefits of not making those reductions.

• Some strategies (i.e. wasting less energy) make sense without the GHG drive and should be encouraged.

18

Page 19: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

GHG Air Permits

• All permits issued after 1/1/2011 requiring PSD review that also increase GHG emissions by at least 75,000 tpy need GHG BACT.

• All permits issued after 6/30/2011 that increase GHG emissions by 75,000 tpy need GHG BACT and all sources with GHG emissions of at least 100,000 tpy need operating permits

19

Page 20: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

GHG Air Permits

• IDEM will use the expedited rule making process and emergency rule making to obtain the legal authority to issue the federally required GHG permits

20

Page 21: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Potential Regulatory Issues--Water• Antidegradation Regulations. • Algae issues and nutrient regulations.

– Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, Ohio River, Indiana lakes, rivers and reservoirs.

• Pharmaceuticals and other trace pollutants.• IDEM action on the final five extended permits.• More attention to the Great Lakes.

21

Page 22: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Antidegradation• Second Notice Comment Period closed

January 30, 2010—31 different commenters• We are still evaluating the comments and

preparing a revised draft rule for possible preliminary adoption

• There will be a third notice on the rule as preliminarily adopted

22

Page 23: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Antidegradation• Major Issues Raised

– Trigger for Antidegradation Review– What pollutants should be covered (Pollutant of

concern)– BADCT– Level of deminimis– Exemptions

23

Page 24: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

• NPDES Permit Backlog Reduction– 2005: 263 backlogged permits– 2010: 5 backlogged permits– List includes:

• US Midwest. Ready for Public Notice.• Arcelor Mittal Burns Harbor. Under EPA review—301g• Arcelor Mittal Indiana Harbor East. Drafting• Arcelor Mittal Indiana Harbor West. Drafting.• Hoosier Merom. Compliance Schedule Under EPA Review

Office of Water QualityPermits

Page 25: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Potential Regulatory Issues--Land• RISC Guidance and Regulations implementing

HB1162.• Coal combustion waste regulations.• EPA to speed up review of pollutant risk

evaluations.

25

Page 26: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Potential Regulatory Issues• Increased EPA emphasis on enforcement to

improve environmental quality.• EPA reevaluation of permitting decisions made

during the past eight years.• IDEM Outdoor Hydronic Heater Rule restart.• Increased scrutiny of all coal related activities.• Transparency.

26

Page 27: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Indiana State Budget Challenges• Indiana’s most recent revenue forecast is $1.88

Billion below the budgeted amount for the FY 2010-2011 biennium.– State Agencies reduced by 20+%– Higher Education reduced by 6%– K-12 Education reduced by 3%– Budget surplus will need to be spent

27

Page 28: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

Response to Reduced State Income• Eliminated 2009 & 2010 raises.• Strategic Hiring Review—Using attrition to

reduce spending.• Reduce/eliminate grants, contracts, etc.• Restrictions on travel and purchasing.• Will maintain essential State services.

28

Page 29: Indiana Steel Environmental Group June 29, 2010 Thomas W. Easterly, P.E., BCEE, QEP Commissioner IN Department of Environmental Management 1.

New IDEM Budget Actions• Returning staffing to January 2005 levels

through attrition.• Moving most of Shadeland staff to IGCN and

renegotiating the lease.• Canceling or renegotiating a number of

service contracts.• Voluntary unpaid leave program.
