Tribal Inventory Project • Inventory Indian Country sources of SOx and NOx >50 tpy • Obtained lists of Title 5, Part 71 sources from EPA regions • Compare permit list against 2002 National Emission Inventory (NEI) • Query tribes for other sources that may exceed 50 tpy • List tribes with oil and gas exploration and production (O&G E&P)
Tribal Inventory Project • Identified 21 tribes with sources of interest to this project • Contacted each tribe by phone and letter • Informed them about the project • Requested their participation and release of data • Identified 8 tribes whom would benefit from working with a contractor to inventory sources.
Tribal Inventory Project • Which tribes were selected for contractor work? • If permit data represents all sources >50 tpy on tribe’s reservation: • ITEP works to gain tribe’s approval to format data to NIF and submit to NEI and WRAP’s EDMS. • Tribe will receive a TEISS project with their data • If data on >50 tpy sources is incomplete, tribe invited to work with WRAP sponsored contractor to complete inventory.
Tribal Point Source List • Title V, Part 71 *subtracts emissions from 2 Navajo land power plants ^Missing emissions from 4 facilities.
