New Jersey Updates Its Plan to Cut Nitrogen Oxides
## Summary
The EPA is proposing to approve New Jersey’s plan to keep cutting nitrogen oxide (NOX) pollution from big non-electric power sources. This plan, backed by a new agreement between the EPA and New Jersey’s environmental agency, helps the state meet clean air rules without extra costs or delays. If you want to share your thoughts, you have until July 3, 2025, to comment!
## Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision in the New Jersey State Implementation Plan (SIP) that includes a signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) developed between the EPA and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). The MOA demonstrates how the State will maintain compliance with its nitrogen oxides (NOX) emission control obligations for the types of large non-electricity generating units (non-EGUs) that were previously regulated under the New Jersey NOX Budget Program. This action is being taken in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
## Effects PRIA read
- 745‑Ton Ozone‑Season NOX Budget Set: cost, low. If you operate affected non-electric large boilers or combustion turbines in New Jersey, the MOA establishes an enforceable statewide ozone-season NOX budget of 745 tons per ozone season (May 1–September 30). The State will compare reported ozone-season NOX emissions against this 745-ton budget and…
- Annual Reporting to EPA by July 1: cost, medium. New Jersey (NJDEP) will send the EPA Region 2 an annual report by July 1 each year that shows actual ozone-season NOX emissions from affected non‑EGUs (May 1–September 30). If the report shows the statewide non-EGU budget was exceeded, New Jersey commits to submitting a revised SIP to address the b…
- Which Units Are Covered (>250 mmBtu/hr): cost, low. The MOA applies to affected non‑EGUs defined as existing, modified, and new fossil fuel‑fired boilers and combustion turbines with a maximum design heat input greater than 250 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr). These sources must comply with New Jersey's federally‑approved NOX RACT…
- Two Refineries Identified; Emissions Below Budget: benefit, low. The MOA identifies Bayway Refinery (Phillips 66) and Paulsboro Refining Co. as existing facilities with affected non‑EGUs; their cumulative permitted ozone‑season NOX emissions total 349.09 tons per ozone season (per Table 1). The MOA also reports that actual cumulative ozone‑season emissions from…
