2. WRAP changing – Strategic Plan 2008-12
Regional Haze
Implementation plans being completed this year
Review and approval next step

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

3. Purpose of this workshop
Address plans for conducting monitoring and applying those data for the 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

4. Workshop Results
Draft Workshop Report in late May - identifying key deliverables and projects needed in timeframe
Workshop support from WRAP staff and TSS project team
