1 OVERVIEW of SIP for Annual PM2.5 Standard MWAQC December 12, 2007

2 Outline Fine Particle Pollution, Definition & SIP Requirements Attainment Demonstration Inventories Control Measures Mobile Vehicle Emissions Budgets Contingency Plan Public Hearing Process

3 Air Pollution: Fine Particles Chemical, particulate matter or aerosol that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere Created locally by emissions from coal combustion, cars & trucks, road construction Causes respiratory problems Impairs visibility

4 Formation of Ground Level Ozone

5 Formation of Fine Particles

6 Sources of Particle Pollution Source: EPA

7 PM2.5 Planning Schedule: Annual Jul Jul Dec Dec Jan-Feb Jan-Feb Apr Apr PM 2.5 Standard First Promulgated Designated NAA for 1997 Annual standard Public Hearings on Annual PM2.5 Plan Attainment Deadline 2006 Daily PM2.5 Designations Made Annual PM2.5 DRAFT Plan approved Plan due to EPA

8 PM2.5 SIP Requirements Comparison to 8-hr 8 Ozone SIP 2002 Base Year, 2009 Attainment Year 5 precursors: VOC, NH3, SO2, NOx, PM2.5- Direct NO RFP in 2008 Attainment Modeling RACM, RACT Contingency Measures

12 PM2.5 Inventories

13 Significant PM2.5 Precursors PM 2.5 Direct NO x SO 2 VOC NH 3 PM 10 EPA SIP Requirements for PM Pollutants Base Year Emission Inventory Attainment Year Emission Inventory - - Not required Significance Determinations for SIP Controls and Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets Significance Precursors for SIP Controls Significance Precursors for Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets for Conformity - = Not required unless precursor deemed significant by states or EPA. No No* No* No* No* * = Due to lack of conclusive information at this time, given the state of science and research on PM 2.5 precursors, the Washington, DC region decided to follow EPA s advice on VOC and NH 3 for the current Annual PM 2.5 NAAQS SIP and reevaluate their significance in future PM 2.5 SIPs and revisions.

18 Plan to Reduce Fine Particles Supplemental Measures: Telecommuting Initiative Tree Canopy Programs Wind Energy Purchases Energy Efficiency in buildings LED Traffic Signal Retrofits Renewable Portfolio Standards

19 Contingency Plan

20 Planning Requirements SIP must contain post-2010 measures Approx. 10,000 tpy NOx target Will meet using both NOx and SO 2 Measures Tier 2 Motor Vehicle Standards CAIR/HAA
