1. Fire/Carbon/Dust Workshop Report
Fire Emissions Joint Forum Meeting
July 11-12, 2006

2. Fire/Carbon/Dust Workshop Objectives
Review planning- and policy-relevant information about these emissions
Assess modeling and data analysis results
Discuss planning tools and policies from FEJF and DEJF
Additional information on fire and dust emissions’ analysis and management programs by individual states

4. Fire/Carbon/Dust Workshop Outcomes
In terms of regional haze planning:
Fire impacts on modeling results are large
Fire episodes have a noticeable impact on monitoring data, including clogging sampler operation
Changes in fire emissions are observed in the modeling results when comparing results from multiple model runs;
Dust emissions are not well-handled by the regional air quality model, so dust impacts will not be estimated with model results
Alternative methods to assess the visibility improvements from dust controls will be used
