§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Presentation Objectives Review how the TSD will provide information
for the preparation of §309 SIPs/TIPs TSD needs to address §309 requirements for:
Control strategy evaluationsAdministrative reviews
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
TSD to be composed of chaptersTechnical analysis approachAddress each control strategy and
administrative review requirementAppendices
Master list of federal/tribal/state/local control programs included in emissions inventories
Others?
Web-based TSD, with CDs available to states and tribes as needed
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Introduction - GCVTC Technical Analysis History Chapter 1 - Technical Analysis Approach
Development of inventories to represent base year (1996) and projection year (2018)StationaryAreaMobile (tailpipe, et. al. & road dust)Fire (wildfire, Rx fire – range/forest, agricultural fire)BiogenicsWindblown Dust
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 1 - Technical Analysis Approach Processing of emissions inventories in SMOKE MM5 meteorological data Visibility modeling simulations using Models 3
science code1996 Base case2018 projection caseList of control strategy evaluations, attribution analyses,
and sensitivity tests
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 2 - Projection of Improvement Prospective look at control strategies in 2018
SO2 Annex milestones Regional pollution prevention Enhanced smoke management program Assumptions about known federal/tribal/state/local control programs
in contiguous WRAP region Analysis for GCVTC 16 on best & worst 20% days,
expressed in deciview (WRAP providing alternative metrics to better identify benefits of SO2 annex)
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 3 - Clean Air Corridors Emissions tracking through WRAP emissions
data system Technical description of corridor, emissions
growth patterns in and outside of corridor Process/criteria to respond to finding of
“significant” CAC emissions growth No other corridors
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 4 – Stationary Sources Monitor/report stationary source emissions
through WRAP emissions data system NOx and PM sensitivity modeling (part of larger
technical report – in TSD?)
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 5 – Mobile Sources Mobile source inventories Final technical analysis of “significance” at the
GCVTC 16 If significant, track list of emissions in WRAP
emissions data system (VOC, NOx, SO2, EC, OC, and PM2.5)
Periodic reports from WRAP on implementation of GCVTC local and regional strategies (2003, 08, 13, 18)
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 6 - Fire Programs1996 and 2018 Fire EIsSpecifications for tracking of fire emissions
and applications of fire emissions reduction techniques (ERTs) in WRAP emissions data system for 2 purposes: States/tribes need to report these data Calculation of a periodic regional fire EI for
emissions and air quality/visibility modeling
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 7 – Road Dust Road dust inventory Final technical analysis of “significance” at the
GCVTC 16 If significant, contributing state(s) or tribe(s)
commit to study and adopt control measures
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 8 – Pollution Prevention Regional P2 emission inventory Technical assessment of EEREs Checklist of P2 programs for states to use in
“opting in” to §309
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 9 – Additional Recommendations Treatment of GCVTC recommendations
by WRAP (update on followup and modeled/not modeled)
Periodic reports of implementation of additional recommendations (2003, 08, 13, 18)
§309 TSD“Table of Contents”
Chapter 10 – Additional Class I Areas Presumptive glide path technical memo Modeling results for “all §309 regional control
strategies combined” technical memo (same approach as in Chapter 2)
Effort to model state-specific additional control strategies to “pull in” additional Class I Areas under §309? Results in additional technical memo
