  1. Other Considerations in Resubmitting the 309 SIPs Applicable to AZ, NM, OR, UT, WY And Bernalillo County, NM

  2. SO2 Backstop Trading Program • Milestones • Recalculate 2018 milestone • Establish interim milestones and setasides • Better-than-BART demonstration • Emission comparison may suffice • A 2002 “crticial mass” study by ICF estimated that only 10-20% of point source emissions would be traded across state lines in a 5-state scenario • Since then, reductions initiated in 4 of the 5 states • Hence, modeling to address geographic impact of BART vs the backstop may be unnecessary

  3. SO2 Backstop Trading Program • WRAP Model Rule • Revisions necessary for AZ, potentially helpful to other states • Revise penalty provisions • Clarify allowance allocations • Incorporate revised milestones • Emission methodology • SIP must document the specific methodology used to calculate SO2 emissions during the base year for each emitting unit

  4. Other 309 Elements • NOx and PM for stationary sources • Essentially BART • Miscellaneous reports due in 2013 • Pollution prevention • Clean air corridors • Mobile source trends • Visibility modeling projections for the 16 areas
