  1. Control Measures for the 8-hour Ozone SIP Metropolitan Washington Air Quality Committee April 27, 2005

  2. Outline • Process and Timeline • Lists of Measures • What’s on the Lists? • Adding to the List

  3. Process • Technical Advisory Committee Workgroup • Identify Options • Estimate Emission Reduction and Cost • Assess Feasibility • Use Screening Criteria • Identify Priorities

  4. Control Measure Timeline Identify priority measures Identify measures for early action Finalize control strategy (winter) New State regulations must be adopted Adopt preliminary control strategy (summer) Public meetings on control strategy (Fall) 2004 2005 2006 2007 2009 2010 Region designated NAA for 8-hr ozone Attainment year All measures must be implementedby start of ozone season Submit SIP (due June 15, 2007)

  5. Control Measures Lists Master List of Control Measures • Approximately 327 measures. • Stationary (41) • Area (52) • Nonroad (65) • Mobile (169) List of Proposed Priority Measures 21 measures within the nonattainment area and in upwind contributing areas. Innovative Measures Bundle 22 innovative measures for local implementation.

  6. Ranking Thresholds • Emission Reduction • Low (0-1 tpd) • Medium (2-5 tpd) • High (>5 tpd) • Cost per ton • Low (0-$2,000/ton) • Medium ($2,000 to $9,000/ton) • High (>$10,000/ton) • Feasibility considers both technical and economic issues.

  7. Strategies • Measures Implemented within the Nonattainment Area • Measures for Upwind “Contributing” Areas

  8. Example: Additional Stationary Source Reductions • Option 1. Adopt OTC Model Rule (CAIR +) • Option 2. Plant-by-Plant Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT)

  9. Example: OTC Corridor Strategy • I-95 Corridor • Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) • Engine Control Module (ECM) Recalibration

  10. Example: Airport Emissions Cap • Develop voluntary agreement to cap emissions at the region’s airports. • Ground Service Equipment, Ground Access Equipment, Gate Electrification • National, Dulles, and BWI

  11. Example: Expand OTC Measures to Upwind Counties • Portable Fuel Containers • Solvent Cleaning • Mobile Equipment Repair and Refinishing • AIMs • Consumer Products

  12. Example: Expand NOx and VOC Controls to Upwind Counties • Option 1. Sector Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) • Option 2. Source-by-Source Best Available Control Technology (BACT)

  13. Innovative Measures Bundle • Implement under EPA’s voluntary measures guidance. • Include programs being implemented at the local level (energy efficiency, renewable energy, pollution prevention, clean fuel vehicles, diesel retrofits).

  14. Next Steps • Coordinate with IAQC on Upwind Controls • Complete Draft Priority Measures Report Document Emission Reduction and Cost for each Priority Measure • MWAQC Reviews Prelimin. Control Measures – May 25, 2005 • Master List is a living document, suggestions always welcome.
