WRAP Regional Haze Progress Report &2007-08 FEJF Projects/Budget Fire Emissions Joint Forum Meeting San Diego, CA February 22-23, 2007
Progress Report from 10/06 FEJF Meeting • Across all Forums and Workgroups, continuing assessment of current and planned projects to determine if needs of States are met toward: • Completing Regional Haze plans due 12/07; and • Supporting initial implementation in 2008. • Completed combination of Modeling Forum, Ambient Monitoring Forum, & Attribution of Haze WG activities into the Technical Analysis Forum (done 1/07) • For most Forums/WGs - move to less frequent in-person meetings (2/year), supplemented with conference calls
Fire Emissions Tracking System (FETS) • Current FETS subcontract to Air Sciences through CIRA TSS contract covers TSS operations as well as FETS development and operations through 2007. • For 2008, propose combining TSS/FETS operations into a line under the Technical Analysis Forum at $165K - roughly 150K for CIRA and 15K for Air Sciences • Put $106K placeholder from the FEJF budget went back into the larger WRAP budget. • Exactly how much is “needed" for 2008 FETS operations is not clear now, until there is an FETS to operate.
Proposed Smoke Management Tech / Policy Workshop • Some $ from this line had been used to pay Dave to prepare for/participate in the Sacramento May 2006 workshop. • Propose taking the remaining $21K and added $4K back to total $25K (WGA limit on non-compete/sole source contracts) • Propose naming the new project FEJF TWIST (Technical WRAP-Up and Implementation Support Team) • Project purpose (for discussion later today): • Summarize fire technical issues in a memo from the FEJF to be completed Spring 2007 (addressing plume rise, 2018 modeling suites, etc.) • Prepare a briefing paper on "Fire EIs Lessons Learned" on behalf of FEJF for distribution in mid July 2007 • Prepare for and participate in the mid-September 2007 "Regional Haze EIs - Lessons Learned" workshop.
Proposed §308 Strategies for Fire Project • Propose project not needed, possibly need a smaller effort to summarize FEJF policy issues/tools for haze planning • To be discussed tomorrow morning • For the time being, moved this $60K placeholder back into the larger WRAP budget.
Proposed FEJF 2007-08 Projects • May want to consider small project to summarize “FEJF policy issues/tools for haze planning” – needs to be complete May 2007
