1 Planning for Cleaner Air David D Onofrio Principal Planner Atlanta Regional Commission TCC May 19, 2017
2 Overview Overview of Clean Air Act Transportation Conformity Monitor Data & Violations Region s Current & Pending Air Quality Status ARC s Tools & Data
3 Atlanta Does Not Meet Air Quality Standards
4 many regions face air quality challenges Cairo Santiago Beijing Los Angeles
5 Clean Air Act First enacted by Congress and President Nixon in 1970 Triggered by episodes like the Donora Smog of 1948 and the London Smog of 1952 Preceded by several similar bills since 1963 Established national air quality standards for key pollutants
6 National Ambient Air Quality Standards Carbon Monoxide (CO) Lead (Pb) Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2 ) Ozone (O 3 ) Particle Pollution (PM 10 & PM 2.5 ) Sulfur Dioxide (SO 2 )
7 Pollution Classification System Extreme Severe Serious Moderate Moving up increases: Severity of problem Length of time to attain Stringency of Controls Marginal Attainment
8 Atlanta Nonattainment Areas Legend Dawson CBMPO Boundary GHMPO Boundary Bartow Cherokee Forsyth Hall ARC Boundary Atlanta City Limits Ozone Nonattainment Area PM2.5 Maintenance Area Jackson Paulding Cobb Gwinnett Barrow DeKalb Walton Douglas Fulton Rockdale Carroll Clayton Newton Fayette Henry Heard Coweta Spalding Putnam Pike
9 Contribution to Pollutants Georgia Air Pollution Emission Sources in 2011 NOx 73% Lead CO 49% 59% PM2.5 CO2 34% 31% VOC 7% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Mobile Fires Biogenics Fuel Combustion Industrial Misc. Data Source: US EPA, 2011 National Emissions Inventory
10 Transportation Conformity
11 Transportation Conformity 1. State prepares a plan to meet air pollution standards 2. Plan includes emission budgets for many polluting activities 3. ARC must develop a long-range transportation plan that meets the emissions budget
12 Transportation Share of Emission Budget Fire Mobile Off-Road Railroad Area Sources Aircraft Point Sources Total Air Shed Emissions Budget Transportation On-Road
13 Emissions (tons per day) Example Conformity Analysis NOx MVEB = VOC MVEB = NOx VOC NOx MVEB = VOC MVEB = Emissions Analysis Year
14 Penalties If an area exceeds its transportation budget it goes into a conformity lapse During a lapse no federal money can be spent in the region on projects that increase road capacity The Atlanta region went through this process between

20 Attainment Status & Upcoming Standards
21 2008 Ozone Standard The Atlanta region is currently a moderate nonattainment area The region has met the standard, based on monitor data Awaiting final rule reclassifying the region as a maintenance area Nonattainment Area
22 New 2015 Ozone Standard October 2017 EPA will make final designations State has recommended the following 8 counties be nonattainment: Bartow Clayton Cobb DeKalb Fulton Gwinnett Henry Rockdale
