Ukeily comment on Proposed Approval of Indianapolis PM 2.5 Redesignation and Maintenance Plan

Dear Mr. Aburano: Thank you for the opportunity to submit these adverse comments on EPA’s attempt to redesignate the Indianapolis area to attainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. I am submitting these comments on behalf of Elizabeth and Hannah Crowe. EPA cannot approve the redesignation request because EPA does not have an adequate PM2.5 PSD program. The PSD program is part of the SIP that an area being redesignated needs to have to ensure that the area will stay in attainment, especially based on the parts of the area where there are no ambient monitors. The Indiana PSD program is inadequate for PM2.5 because it does not have the required PM2.5 significant emission rates for PM2.5 and its precursor and because it does not have the PM2.5 increments. Therefore, EPA cannot approve this redesignation request. Respectfully submitted, Robert Ukeiley Law Office of Robert Ukeiley 435R Chestnut Street, Ste. 1 Berea, KY 40403 (859) 986‐5402
