  2. Interactive Discussion on EIs for SIPs • Major topic areas • SIP EI reporting • Guidance • Motor vehicles • Point sources • Others ?

  3. Interactive Discussion on EIs for SIPs • SIP EI reporting questions • Regulatory EIs • Modeling EIs • Base cases 2002 (performance and baseline period) • Base case projection 2018 • Control strategy EIs (plural) • SIP EIs for RH / Ozone / PM2.5 plans • What is needed/wanted by EPA and when? • What is the best process to communicate about the status of these EIs with EPA? • Others ?

  4. Interactive Discussion on EIs for SIPs • EPA guidance questions • Use of transport fractions • Updates to SMOKE and CMAQ • Identification of bugs/problems in SMOKE and CMAQ • Biogenics shown in 2002 NEI vs. “attenuated” biogenics used for modeling (including Dust, NH3) • Interaction for input from RPOs on improving 2002 NEI numbers • Display and uses of EPA transport rule EI and modeling results • Others ?

  5. Interactive Discussion on EIs for SIPs • Mobile sources • Specific list of area/nonroad categories to include • New motor vehicle ammonia emission factor status, effect of low-sulfur gasoline • Use of state- and RPO-specific mobile emissions into 2002 NEI CERR process • Timeline for Nonroad Rule, reasonable assumptions about use of the proposed control program • Vessels, other nonroad categories not in NONROAD model • NMIM release date • Others ?

  6. Interactive Discussion on EIs for SIPs • Point Sources • CEM data versus states’ EGU inventories • Information about existing control technologies • Heat input • Flow rates • Stack parameters • Could CEM data be used as surrogates for PM, NH3? • Others ?
