Regional Haze Regional Haze SIP Goal SIP Goal

“…the prevention of any future, and the remedying of any existing, impairment of visibility in mandatory Class I Federal areas which impairment results from man-made air pollution.”

Regional Contribution Regional Contribution

zLarge for both sulfates and organic carbon –The principle components of PM2.5 in the eastern US

zAll Class I areas are affected by

  • ut-of-state sources
slide-11
SLIDE 11

MARAMA

Basic Basic Questions Questions

  • What kinds of sources are causing

visibility impairment and high PM levels?

  • Where

are those sources located?

  • What kinds of emissions controls in

my state will effectively reduce those emissions?

slide-12
SLIDE 12

MARAMA

Additional Questions Additional Questions

  • What help can I get from other

states and EPA?

  • How soon

can controls be adopted?

  • At what cost?
  • In the mean

time, how can I provide informati

  • n to the public?
slide-13

MARAMA

More Detaile More Detailed Questions d Questions

  • Do

we know enough to predict high PM levels and to estimate the results of controls?

  • Do w

e understand enough to identify and control carbon sources?

  • Should

we modify our monitoring network?

Next Steps Next Steps

zMust reduce SO2 emissions

–Will reduce both urban and rural sulfates –In-state and neighboring state SO2 reductions greatest impact –Transport rule/multi-p bill essential
