  1. Strategic PlanOverview WRAP Board Meeting Portland, OR April 2, 2003

  2. Work Group Members • Bob Saunders (co-chair) Washington • Bobby Ramirez (co-chair) Salt River Indian Community • Rick Boddicker South Dakota • Francis Chin Shungnak Native Village • Alice Edwards Alaska • Bob Habeck Montana • Lewis McCleod Conf. Tribes of Salish & Kootenai • Dana Mount North Dakota • Mike Silverstein Colorado • Rick Sprott Utah • Tom Webb EPA • WRAP Staff

  3. Need for a Strategy • Shift from 309 to 308 • 100+ additional Class I areas for 308 • All states have 308 requirements • Desirable to coordinate all WRAP work • Recognize WRAP accomplishments • Basis for yearly workplans/budgets • Inform new WRAP members • Meet EPA grant guidance

  4. Genesis and Accomplishments • Work group convened by Planning Team • Representatives from 7 states, 3 tribes, EPA, and WRAP staff (NTEC, WESTAR, WGA) • 9 calls, 1 meeting, and a website since December 18, 2002 • Planning Team review and AMC review

  5. Scope • Time frame: 2003-08 • A strategic plan • All WRAP states and tribes (not just 308) • Issues beyond haze SIPs/TIPs • Audience • WRAP Committees, Forum chairs & AMC • Stakeholders • New WRAP participants • State and tribal staff working on visibility

  6. Overview SIP/TIP Requirements Opportunities to Build on 309 Work Core of Plan Challenges

  7. SIP/TIP Requirements • Section 308 • Establish reasonable progress goals for each area (2018) considering: • Cost, time, energy/non-air impacts, remaining useful life of affected sources • Apportionment • Identify areas each jurisdiction may affect • Identify jurisdiction’s share of emission reduction obligations • Control measures • Must achieve the jurisdiction’s obligation • Must include BART or superior alternative

  8. SIP/TIP Requirements • Section 309 • States must meet reasonable progress goals for areas outside the Colorado Plateau • Tracking • Progress towards meeting 10/20 goals • Emissions: clean air corridors, mobile sources, fire, and point source SO2 • Tribal Issues • Timing • Severability • Resources

  9. Challenges • SIP submittal dates • 2005, 2007, 2008? • Apportionment • Control strategy development • Defining reasonable progress • Determining BART reductions • Data submittal and integration • Prescribed fires

  10. Results Synthesize Reconcile and Strategies Develop Control • Apportion Emission Reductions • By state / tribe • By source category and sub-state areas if appropriate Core of Strategic Plan • Apportionment Phase I Phase II

  11. Core of Strategic Plan • Two-phased approach, Dec 07

  12. Core of Strategic Plan • Control Strategy Development --Multiple Iterations to: • refine/selectstrategies, • establish goalsmeeting reason-ability criteria • apportion emissionreduction obligations

  13. Core of Strategic Plan • Subregional analyses : Smaller scale grid modeling (or other analyses) for better confidence where needed • Help resolve apportionment issues • Help determine visibility benefit of BART • Address in and near issues, inc. fire and dust • Potential technical basis for Alaska • Verify/bound regional-scale analyses • Help address related issues, including exposure of tribes and other groups to PM

  14. Building on Existing Work • Advance tribal air quality work • Technology Transfer to WRAP members • Assist states/tribes understand other air pollutants • Increase state/tribal staff support

  15. Committee/Forum Organization • Consider eliminating: • International Projects Committee • Research & Development Forum • Consider changing: • Coordinating Group to Planning Team • MTF to a Stationary Sources Forum + Annex WG • Consider establishing: • Work group for apportioning source contribution • Work group for apportioning emission reduction • Strong coordination by IOC and TOC

  16. Next Steps • Incorporate Board comments • Finalize document • Share with stakeholders • Use as basis for 2004 work plan • Revisit plan in 2005
