Concurrent with the compilation of the 2008 Ozone and PM emission inventories, Illinois EPA undertook the task of calculating greenhouse gas emissions for the entire state and all source categories. This document provides the results of this inventory.
This Smoke Management Plan (SMP) is based on Section VI Smoke Management Programs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (U.S.EPA) Interim Air Quality Policy on Wildland and Prescribed Fires (April 23, 1998).

In order to reduce lead emissions in the Chicago and Granite City nonattainment areas, and to attain and maintain the NAAQS in these areas, Illinois EPA is proposing to limit lead emissions from nonferrous metal production facilities in lead NAAs. The purpose of this document is to provide technical support for the proposed regulation, and includes a description of the affected sources and their emissions, emission limits and work practices required by the proposed regulation, and an analysis of the technical feasibility of achieving those limits and implementing those practices at the affected sources.Illinois EPA is proposing to limit lead emissions from affected emission units charging lead bearing materials through the use of pollution control devices. Illinois EPA is also proposing various measures to limit fugitive lead emissions from these sources to the greatest degree practicable.
