State Regional Haze SIP Development

This document outlines the development of State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for regional haze in Western states, exploring the processes established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under 40 CFR 51.308 and 51.309. Emphasizing collaborative regional planning through organizations like WRAP, it discusses the critical path for states and tribes in addressing visibility improvements and air quality standards. With a focus on flexible planning options, strategies for reasonable progress, and the impact of federal designations on submittal timelines, it guides stakeholders in navigating SIP requirements and choices.

  1. State Regional Haze SIP Development Critical Path for Western States

  2. “Simple” Process? • Regional Planning Organization (WRAP) • Forums, Committees • Multiple States and Tribes • Multiple Federal Agencies • FLM’s • EPA • Multiple Planning tracks • Long Planning horizons

  3. Which Planning Path? • 40CFR 51.308 • Participate with other States/Tribes in Regional Planning Organization. • Go it alone • 40CFR 51.309 • Available to Nine GCVTC Regional Transport States, Tribes within those States

  4. Choices, Choices • “309” Planning Path • AZ, CA, CO, ID, NV, NM, OR, UT, WY, and Tribes within • Control Strategies already developed through GCVTC Recommendations, Annex • Presumptive “Reasonable Progress” to improve visibility in 16 Colorado Plateau Class I areas (Low Hurdle) • Submittal due by Dec., 2003

  5. Choices, Choices (cont.) • “308” Planning Path • RPO • Initial “Committal” SIP (defer core requirements) • Due 1/3 yrs after EPA designates PM2.5 Attainment/Non-Attainment areas • Full SIP, w/core requirements due NLT 2008 • Go it Alone • Initial SIP addresses core requirements • Due 1/3 yrs after EPA designates PM2.5 Attainment/Non-Attainment areas

  6. WRAP Technical Work To Date Mostly to provide information for 308/309 decisions, support for initial 309 SIPs

  7. What you should know by June 30, 2002 for 308/309 decision • Steps 1-4 of 12-step SIP process • Definition of Natural Conditions • Indication of PM2.5 Attainment/Non-Attainment Status • Indication of timing of EPA designations • Timing, scope of initial SIP submittals (2003 vs. 2005, or so; 16 Class I areas vs. all other Class I areas) • Levels of Demonstration of Reasonable Progress (Annex presumed to be Reasonable Progress)

  8. What you should know by June 30, 2000 (continued ) • LTS Content in initial SIP (Annex vs. Other control measures) • Annex/BMT vs. BART (No. BART sources) • Clean Air Corridor Boundaries • Projected Visibility Improvement in 16 class I areas, 1996-2018 • Point source SO2 emission reduction 1990-2000 • Other • Reasonable Attribution, Critical Mass, etc.

  9. What you might not know by June 30, 2000 (What you don’t know won’t hurt you… ) • Definition, Mobile source significance, Level of visibility impact in 16 Class I Areas • Definition, Road dust significance, Level of visibility impact in 16 Class I Areas • Visibility impacts from increased Rx Burning and Agricultural Burning • Other

  10. Where We are now… 5a 1 2 3 4 5 5b WRAP input Through June 30 A-M 5c WRAP input through Dec. ’02 N-W 6/2002
