OAQPS Resources for Tribal Communities Communities and Tribal Programs Group National Tribal Forum – June 5, 2008
2
Two Emerging Resources SSI – Sustainable Skylines Initiative CAPPA – Climate and Air Pollution Planning Assistant
3
Sustainable Skylines Initiative: Working for People, Planet and Prosperity A partnership program to integrate land use, energy and transportation measures for air quality and other environmental benefits Community-led and directed, with EPA support, and a network of cultivated local partners GOAL: 20,000 tons of emission reductions in 10 cities by 2010
4
SSI Support Funding is available, and a nationwide RFP will be posted this summer Communities not selected for funding can still participate and receive staff assistance and materials Other Federal assistance is available, such as other EPA offices and DOE/EERE
5
SSI Comprises: Community team selects at least one activity from 5 of 7 activity focus categories: –Central city livability –Stationary and area sources –Energy and climate –Land use and transportation strategies –Diesel engines –Green building and development –Off-road sources
6
CAPPA Spreadsheet/web-based tool to help communities develop successful climate and air pollution strategies Gives communities a place to start, to help narrow down the range of options Tailors a ranking of measures to community needs, goals and character
7
Basis for CAPPA Developed by ICLEI (Local Gov’ts for Sustainability) ICLEI members provided much real- world experience about success of implementing activities Focuses on energy, smart growth, transportation type activities
8
CAPPA Cannot: Be plugged into SIP or TIP… Calculations aren’t based on detailed models Calculations don’t include specific power generation locations or pollution transport Doesn’t include stationary source controls
9
Functionality: Two Interactive/Linked Components Specific Strategies: Interactive write-ups for each description Benefits Calculators (Kw/$/emissions changes w/degrees of implementation Related resources Creating a Plan: ranking measures for priority pollutants according to: Potential reductions Real-world effectiveness elsewhere Local priorities and limitations
