This report details the recent activities and progress of the WESTAR (Western States Air Resources Council) regarding regional haze planning, technical coordination, and training programs. Key developments include finalization of the 309 SO2 milestone proposal, ongoing state planning activities, and refinement of reasonable progress goals (RPGs). The training program reports on funding allocations of $367,500 to conduct multiple courses across 11 states, training hundreds of staff in air pollution measurement systems. This ensures effective implementation of regional haze strategies.
