Early Action Compacts Presented by Karen Borel EPA Region 4 March 25, 2003

Implications of 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Designation n Implementation Guidance will provide guidance on boundaries and designations n Areas will be subject to nonattainment area requirements – New Source Review – Conformity n Will apply one year after designation n Requires that area transportation plan show “conformity” with SIP motor vehicle emissions budget n Development & Submittal of State Implementation Plan – Schedule for SIP Submittal given at designation – Attainment demonstration, control measures, modeling – NOx SIP Call, Tier 2 and Low Sulfur Gasoline controls expected to aid many areas in attaining

Boundary Guidance (March 28, 2000) n Design Value for the Area n Period of Time Represented by the Design Value n Monitoring Site Location and Identification Number n Population n Traffic and Commuting Patterns n Commercial Development n Growth n Prevailing Meteorology n Nearby Sources n Other Justification Factors

8-Hour Ozone NAAQS - Schedule for Implementation n Propose and finalize rulemaking on the implementation approach n April State/Tribes to update recommended designations n April EPA will promulgate air quality designations n State implementation plans (SIPs) - likely due in time frame, with attainment dates ranging from 2007 to 2019 or longer.

Early Action Compact nOn June 19, 2002, EPA Region 6 endorsed Texas’ Protocol for an Early Action Compact nProtocol deals with attainment of the 8-hr National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone nCalls for “early” SIPs and associated controls coupled with a deferral of the effective date of future EPA ozone nonattainment (NA) designations.

Compact Requirements - Milestones and Reporting …. ä Completion of emissions inventories and modeling ä Adoption of control strategies that demonstrate attainment ä Completion and adoption of the early action SIP revision ä Attainment not later than December 31, 2007 ä Post-attainment demonstration and plan updates

Who Submitted EACs in Region 4? n North Carolina – 4 Areas – includes 20 Counties and 19 Cities – Mountain area (Western NC, including Asheville; Unifour (Hickory area); Triad (Greensboro area); and Fayetteville n South Carolina – 10 Areas – includes 45 of 46 counties in SC, and 2 Counties in GA – Greenville; Charlotte, Florence, Charleston, Augusta-Aiken, Columbia and others n Tennessee – 8 areas – includes 30 Counties and 7 Cities – Chattanooga, Knoxville, Johnson City/Kingsport, Memphis, Nashville and others

Timeline n December 31, Compact signed by all parties in MSA (local officials, state air quality agency, and EPA Region) n June 16, Submit list of local control measures being considered n March 31, Local plan submitted to the state n April 2004 – EPA designates “Compact Areas” as nonattainment, but defers effective date for these areas

Timeline (continued) n December 31, State adopts control measures into SIP & submits to EPA for approval n 2005 – Areas implement control measures n June 30, Progress assessment and report to EPA n December 2007 – Areas attain 8-hr ozone NAAQS

June 2003 Milestone Requirements n List of Possible Control Measures – due June 16, 2003 n Progress Report – June 2003

Components of List n Sufficient list to achieve reductions needed to attain by 2007 n Measures that are reasonable and can be implemented in specific area n Description of measure and analysis of its implementation n Estimate of emissions reductions, if known n Documentation of stakeholder process

Components of Progress Report n Document progress in developing stakeholder process n Describe public outreach activities n Update on modeling/technical planning activities n Progress on evaluating and selecting emission reduction measures (can use June 16 list)
