1. Regional Haze SIP Status Report
WRAP Board Meeting
Tempe, AZ
March 8, 2007
General overview of current status, and identification of current active issues under discussion

2. Overview General status Current planning issues
State-by-state available
Exceptions
Current planning issues
Implementation support?
Method of compiling this information is phone calls to each state. Question on status above. Summary of issues is compiled from discussions within IWG, Stationary Sources Joint Forum,

3. General Status These schedules include 308 and 309 re-submittals
Most WRAP states planning to have draft plans together by year-end, or close to it
Some administrative processing may not be complete in all cases, but technical analyses, long-term strategies, including BART should be known at year-end
Exceptions are:
AK-BART determinations not complete until late 2007-Submittal well into 2008
WA-Awaiting funding legislation, working with EPA-Region 10 to address BART-SIP submittal Deep into 2008
HI-Emission Inventory development underway
These schedules include 308 and 309 re-submittals

4. Some Issues for Planning
309: Update 2003 SIPs
Revise SO2 milestones
Better-than-BART analysis
Automatic Penalties
New Source Set-Aside
Smelter Set-Aside
Allocations
Stationary Sources Forum is working on these for 309 states. Much work on hold to do BART analysis, and now that is done we will be moving forward with these fixups

5. Some Issues for Planning (Cont.)
BART
Determinations taking longer than expected
How to handle BART emissions for next RP modeling analysis prior to state BART determinations
Reservations about “presumptive BART” as default-
Some concern about using a presumptive BART, or any estimation other than actual BART determinations-??? Preempion of state BART determination. Possible argument in further BART litigation?

6. Some Issues for Planning (Cont.)
Reasonable Progress Demonstrations
Meet RH rule requirements using proposed RP demonstration approach
Growth in new source emissions
Oil & Gas
Depth and level of analyses needed for setting RPG
Applicability of Statutory Factors
Reviewing and categorizing a number of EPA and FLM questions on the proposed reasonable progress approach-This is ongoing. States are moving ahead on trying out the approach using the TSS tools.
Oil & Gas project underway by Stationary Sources Joint Forum
Statutory factors, (cost, remaining life, time to implement, other environmental impacts-and visibility impacts) are clearly applicable to stationary sources. It is less clear to what extent the factors must be applied to non-stationary sources, fire, dust, out-of-country, etc.

7. Some Issues for Planning (Cont.)
Consultation with FLMs, other states, and tribes
WRAP processes as consultation
Forum and committee meetings
WRAP board meetings
Individual consultation as needed
Some meetings ongoing
WRAP formed as the means of consultation. Additional consultations are ongoing on specific sub-regional issues
Tribes have a project to track and report state SIP processes to facilitate tribal consultations as needed

8. Some Issues for Planning (Cont.)
Concern about data consistencies with late SIPs/FIPs WA
4-Corners/Navajo (EPA)
Coordination with neighboring states in other RPOs
CENRAP
AK and HI not in this mix

9. Implementation Issues
Future regional support for haze
Implementation will rely on regional process
Ongoing consultation during EPA review and approval process
Technical Support System
Reasonable Progress tracking
Emissions
Monitoring-IMPROVE
Modeling Analysis capability
Fire emissions Tracking
Support for other regional air quality programs
The WRAP provides the framework for ongoing cooperative coordination among states, tribes, FLMs and EPA throughout the implementation phases. This starts with addressing near-term issues in the 2007 SIPS, then goes to meeting tracking reasonable progress. The WRAP also provides the foundation for initiating the next review and revisions to these SIPS
First job is to support resolution issues post-SIP submittals. Need for re-analyses?? Beyond that, sustaining a minimal capacity is critical to implementation of the RH SIPs.
Beyond THAT, considerable uses for the technical work supports other air quality issues of regional scope, e.g. greenhouse gases, ozone, regional dust
