DAR File No.: 39112
Filed: 02/05/2015 04:09:14 PMNOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Rule R307-203 establishes the maximum amount of sulfur that may be contained in coal and oil burned in industrial processes and residential heating, thus holding down the emissions of sulfur dioxide from these processes. Subsection 19-2-104(1)(a) authorizes the Air Quality Board to make rules "...regarding the control, abatement, and prevention of air pollution from all sources and the establishment of the maximum quantity of air contaminants that may be emitted by any air contaminant source."
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
There have been no written comments received since the last five-year review of Rule R307-203.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Sulfur dioxide is harmful to human health, which is the basis for EPA's listing of sulfur dioxide as a principal pollutant. Without this rule, users could burn coal or oil with higher sulfur content, thus emitting more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. In addition, Rule R307-203 is a component of Utah's State Implementation Plan, and cannot be deleted without EPA approval. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
