Workshop on Monitoring & Data for Regional Analysis Chandler, AZ May 15-16, 2008
WRAP changing – Strategic Plan 2008-12 Regional Haze Implementation plans being completed this year Review and approval next step Next milestone is 2012 mid-course check-in – to make sure emissions and visibility data are “on course” for 2018 goals Ozone standard 2012 attainment date Concerns about regional contributions to air quality PM2.5 and PM10/PMcoarse standards Nitrogen sources/emissions, measurements, atmospheric chemistry, and deposition Mercury emissions, transport, deposition
Purpose of this workshop Address plans for conducting monitoring and applying those data for the 2009-12 time frame - monitoring methods, network operations, and data analysis activities; Review completeness and gaps in ozone, PM, haze, mercury, and nitrogen deposition data Identify opportunities for integrated applications of monitoring data: Tracking improvements in visibility/reductions in regional haze; Attainment status - analyses of source regions and areas violating health standards; Quantifying welfare/ecosystem impacts for remote/rural areas; and Needed analyses of impacts and sources. Discuss needs, time frames, and costs for tracking and trends Determine monitoring and analysis needs to support regional analyses
Workshop Results Draft Workshop Report in late May - identifying key deliverables and projects needed in 2009-12 timeframe Workshop support from WRAP staff and TSS project team
