  2. IWG 308 SIP TEMPLATEOutline of Most Recent Version 1. Introduction 2. Background and Regional Haze SIP Requirements – Historical and Statutory Overview • Visibility Provisions in 1977 Clean Air Act (CAA 169A) • EPA Visibility Protection Regulations • Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 • Current <State> Long-Term Strategy • Code of Federal Regulations 308/309 - 1999 Regional Haze Rule 3. <State> Regional Haze SIP Development Process • Federal Land Manager Consultation 4.

  3. IWG 308 SIP TEMPLATEOutline 6. Establishing the plan baseline conditions – baseline and natural conditions, presumptive RPGs for 20% best/worst average days • Baseline Conditions • Natural Conditions • Establishing Presumptive Reasonable Progress Goals 7. Emission Inventory – 2002 Baseline & 2018 Projections • Regional Emission Inventories • <State> Emission Inventories • Local Emission Inventories • Regional Modeling • Preliminary Assessment of Presumptive RP at Class I Areas 8. Best Available Retrofit Technology (or a superior alternative) • Description of <State> BART Rule and Schedule • Visibility Improvement Resulting from BART in <State> + Other States

  4. IWG 308 SIP TEMPLATEOutline 9. Additional Measures (Long Term Strategy) • Emission Reductions Due to Ongoing Air Pollution Programs • Measures to Mitigate the Impacts of Construction Activities • Emission Limitations and Schedules of Compliance • Source Retirement and Replacement Schedules • Agricultural and forestry smoke management • Enforceability of emission limitations and control measures 10. Net Effects Resulting from Projected Emission Changes 11. Projection of 2018 Visibility Conditions from 2002 Base Case & Additional Strategies (BART & Others) • Affirmative Demonstration of Presumptive Reasonable Progress Goals 12. State and Tribe Consultation 13. <State> Share of Emission Reductions Additional SIP Requirements & Future Planning Period Requirements List of Appendices and Technical Support Documentation (EDMS & TSS)

  5. Oregon Suggested Format for 308 SIP TEMPLATE 1. Introduction 2. Oregon Regional Haze SIP Development Process 3. Introduction to Oregon Class I Areas 4. Regional Haze Monitoring 5. Visibility Sources and Conditions 6. Oregon Current Visibility Conditions • Oregon Visibility Impairment Analysis • Emission Inventory 9. Long-Term Strategy 10. Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) Evaluation 11. Reasonable Progress Goal Demonstration 12. Misc. other SIP commitments

  6. 1. Introduction – short section Background and RH SIP Requirements <State> RH SIP Development Process – FLM + state/tribe consultation 4. Visibility Monitoring and Impairment – IMPROVE monitoring – network description and 20% worst day monitoring data 1. Introduction – IWG #2 Background added here, and expanded 2. Oregon RH SIP Development Process - same as IWG #3, but added adv committee and public & stakeholder outreach 3. Introduction to Oregon Class I Areas – basic info on each Class I area (location, size etc) 4. Regional Haze Monitoring – no data here – just IMPROVE network description Chapter Comparison of IWG SIP TEMPLATE to Oregon Version

  7. 5. Visibility Impairment– short section, generic definition of natural/anthro sources 6. Estimates of Baseline/Natural conditions, RPGs for 20% best/worst days Note: no in-depth analysis of Class I area haze conditions in IWG SIP Template 5. Visibility Sources and Conditions – same as IWG#5, but added defs of baseline, nat’l conditions, URP, and RPG 6. Oregon Current Visibility Conditions – review of all monitoring data showing current conditions 7. Oregon Visibility Impairment Analysis – Aerosol composition, species trends, monthly distribution, – similar to n draft CO SIP Chapter Comparison of IWG SIP TEMPLATE to Oregon Version

  8. 7. Emission Inventory – 2002 Baseline & 2018 Projections– local, state and regional EI, regional modeling results, and preliminary assessment of RP 8. BART (or a superior alternative)– results of BART analysis 9. Additional Measures (Long Term Strategy)– very short summary of LTS, no explanation of “additional measures” ?? 8. Emission Inventory – similar to IWG#7 + more EI data and maps similar to draft CO SIP section 9. Long-Term Strategy – similar to IWG #9, more description of LTS, adds summary of interstate transport and anthro sources (follows RHR Sec.308 language) 10. Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) Evaluation – similar to IWG #8 Chapter Comparison of IWG SIP TEMPLATE to Oregon Version

  9. 10. Net Effects Resulting from Projected Emission Changes – short section on visibility benefits from emission changes in 2018 (??) 11. Projection of 2018 Visibility Conditions from 2002 Base Case & Additional Strategies (BART & Others)– very short, affirmative demonstration of RPGs 11. Reasonable Progress Goal Demonstration – major section – needs to show improvement from all RH haze strategies in comparison to the glide path, analysis if whether additional controls are needed, and affirmative demonstration of RPGs Chapter Comparison of IWG SIP TEMPLATE to Oregon Version
