1 Incremental Measures Available to Downwind States to Reduce VOC and NOx May 7, 2015 Gregory Stella Alpine Geophysics, LLC 1

2 Objective EPA has provided “known” controls beyond attainment of the 75 ppb NAAQS for areas to implement in order to achieve proposed alternate NAAQS levels Files for 70, 65, and 60 ppb located in docket – For this analysis, we reviewed the 60 ppb packets EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0169-0024 (NOx) EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0169-0026 (VOC) This presentation is not a proposed control strategy for attainment at northeastern receptors and is simply an accounting of what has EPA has documented as available beyond attainment of the 75 ppb baseline 2

3 Presentation Focus EPA applied controls regionally with intention of impacting regional air quality Our focus on EPA “nonattainment” receptors identified in Steve Page memorandum 3

4 Our Review Compared recent OSAT results of residual relative contribute and determined local incremental control would best be applied Extract control programs from EPA proposed ozone NAAQS files to document incremental emission reduction opportunities in northeast – Limits control to where EPA indicates it is needed and therefore not exhaustive list of available controls EPA proposed ozone NAAQS list of controls does not contain on-road mobile source strategies beyond Tier 3 – However, demonstrated, incremental reductions are known to be available 4

16 Noted Emission Reductions from OTC Measures Not Currently Modeled by EPA in Baseline 16 Just in the OTC states Reductions developed as part of OTC Committee work These emission reduction estimates are being updated Result in about 150 tpd total NOx and 150 tpd total VOC emission reduction in the 13 OTR states Not included in EPA OTB/OTW modeling Source: “What Does the Modeling Tell Us About Good Neighbor SIPs and the New EPA Transport Guidance?”, Tad Aburn, April 8, 2014

17 “Inside MD” Reductions Not Currently Modeled BY EPA New EGU regulation for NOx – Required for RACT and Attainment Maryland efforts on mobile sources – Electric vehicle initiatives – ZEV efforts – “Beyond Conformity” partnerships 17 Source: “What Does the Modeling Tell Us About Good Neighbor SIPs and the New EPA Transport Guidance?”, Tad Aburn, April 8, 2014

18 Observations There appear to be ample measures available locally to impact ozone concentrations in the northeastern domain Additional, incremental mobile source reductions exist in northeastern states although not documented by EPA in proposed ozone NAAQS 18
