What is the Advance Program? What are the Program benefits What’s it mean to this area? How can it help us stay in attainment? Your Path Forward Examples Q/A and contact information 2 Overview

The Advance Program is a collaborative effort between EPA, states, tribes, and local governments to encourage emission reductions in areas designated as attainment, to help these areas continue to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Currently, the Advance program addresses ground level ozone and particulate matter (PM). Program Goals: (1) Help participating areas take action to keep ozone and PM levels below the level of the standard, (2) Better position areas to remain in attainment, (3) Efficiently direct available resources toward actions to address ozone and PM problems quickly. 3 What is the Advance Program?

Shared goal: air quality Cause for communication and collaboration Stakeholders: LDEQ; 6 Parishes: Assumption, LaFourche, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Terrebonne; EPA; Regional community members: commercial, industrial, educational, citizen orgs Establish and maintain working relationships Modeling work, emission profiles 3 Benefits: What does the Advance Program mean to this area?
