2. Overview Tribal Air Program vs TIP Building Your Own TIP
Basic Elements of a TIP
Severable Elements of a TIP
TIP Guideline Review

3. Tribal Air Program
Health effects of criteria pollutants
Environmental effects of criteria pollutants (e.g.visibility)
Address these issues in a TIP
Address these issues with other programs
Hazardous air pollutants
Indoor air quality
Your specific issues
Operating permits (Title V)

4. Tribal Implementation Plan
A plan to attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards
Particulate matter (PM-2.5 & PM-10)
Lead
Ozone
Sulfur Dioxide
Nitrogen Dioxide
Carbon Monoxide
A plan to meet Regional Haze goals

5. Build Your Own TIP Flexible/Modular Approach
Identify the air quality mgt. Issues
Emissions Inventories & Air Quality Monitoring
Select programs/regulations to implement
Establish your development and implementation schedules
Develop “severable” TIP elements
Request EPA assistance

6. Build Your Own TIP (cont.)
Federal Supplements
Federal implementation plans (FIPs) to fill gaps
Joint Management
EPA can delegate enforcement authority
EPA can delegate program management

7. TIP – Basic Elements Administrative Elements
Eligible to manage CAA programs
Adequate personnel, funding and authority in Tribal laws to implement TIP elements
legal description of area where TIP applies
Evidence of public participation in developing TIP

8. TIP – Basic Elements (cont.)
Enforcement Program – Tribal laws establishing authority to:
Inspect sources,
Enforce rules
Require self monitoring and reporting of emissions,
Issue notices of violations and assess fines

9. TIP – Severable Elements
Maintenance Strategies
Attainment/unclassifiable areas
Enforceable emission limits for existing sources
Compliance schedules
Prevent existing and new sources from causing air quality problems in other jurisdictions

10. TIP – Severable Elements
Attainment Strategies
Nonattainment areas
Enforceable emission limits requiring reasonably available control measures
Schedules for implementing rules
Evidence emission limits will adequately reduce pollutant concentrations
Achieve annual emission reductions
Adopt additional “contingency” rules

11. TIP – Severable Elements
Source Pre-construction Permits
Review plans for major new emissions
Adopt a program to prevent significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality
Adopt EPA’s PSD program
Request delegation to manage EPA’s prog.
Adopt a nonattainment area new source review program
Review plans for minor new emission sources

12. TIP- Severable Elements
Regional Haze Plans
Regional Planning Partnerships
Facilitate information exchange
Perform technical analyses
Explore ideas

13. Summary TIP is one part of an air quality program
Build your TIP to meet your goals
Federal supplements/joint management
Cover the basic elements
Administrative elements
Enforcement authority

14. Summary (cont.) Add severable elements
Maintenance strategies for clean areas
Attainment strategies for nonattainment areas
Source pre-construction permits
Regional haze plans
