M-1: Clean Air Corridor Em ission s Tracking System

The pream ble of the RHR defines a CAC as “a region th at g e nera lly b r in gs cl ean air to a recepto r region”, an d also say s , “the r e quirem e nt to tr ack em issions will en able s t ate s to quick ly determ ine if changes in patte rns of e m issions w ill reduc e the num ber of clean a i r d a ys (def ined as the average of the 20% cleares td a ys) in any of the 16 Class I areas.” The actual requirem e nts state that the §309 SIP or TIP m u st describe an d provide for im ple m entation of comprehensive

em ission tracking strategies for CA C to ensure that the vis i bility doe s n o t deg r ade o n the lea s tim paired days at any of the 16 Class I areas.

Using the most recent em i ssion inventory data availabl e through the Em issions Data Managem e nt System (EDMS), WRAP will produce a repo rt for each five-year implem entatio n plan revision (2007-8, 2013, and 2018) on the current and projected em issions in the CAC and in areas surrounding the corridor and com p are these em issions to a 1996 baseline, as pa rt of a larger source apportionm ent exercise m a naged by the T echnical Ov ersigh t Comm ittee (desc r ibed in th e next section).

The EDMS will have the capability to produce the following special reports in tabular an d sim p le plots (i.e. bar graph and pie chart) form ats and a llo w queries o f the sam e inf o rm ation including presentation in GIS for m at, in addition to the standard reports:

• A summary report of the annual summed total em issions for all six source categories and

all of the pollutants by county/ state an d trib al land s, as well as for the entire CAC.

• A summary report of the annual summed total em issions for all six source categories and

all of the po llutan ts for th e sam e type s of political boundaries s u rrounding the CAC.

• A summary report of the com p arison of the a nnual summed total em issions for all six source categ o ries and all of the pollutants for th e sam e types of political boundaries , as well as the entire CAC and the corr esponding base year total em issions.

The EDMS to be developed is described in a dr aft technical repo rt to the Em issions Forum : Needs Assessm ent for Evaluation and Design of an Em issions Data Reporting, Managem e nt, and Tracking Sy stem , (EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, June 26, 2003).

As part of the next round of analysis and pr eparation for regional haze SIPs due in 2007-08, the Technical Oversight Committee will be conducti ng two separate visibi lity source apportionm ent exercises (described in the W R AP 2003-08 Strategic Plan), integr ating analytical results from aerosol and m e teorological m onitoring, air qual ity m odeling, and preparation of em issions inventories. These source apportionm ent ex ercis e s will id entif y th e source regions and catego r ies c a using vis i b ility im pairm e nt at Cla ss I areas. As part of those source apportionm ent

exerc i ses, th e TOC will analyze th e changes in e m issions f o r the coun tie s and triba l lands in the CAC, as well as those surrounding the CAC. Be tter em issions inventory data expected to be available each tim e, as t h e TOC iterates throug hth ese 2 exercises. Specific results from each of the source apportionm ent exercis e s will add r ess em issions grow th bothinside and surroundin g the CAC, as well as the impact on vis i bi lity at affected Class I areas.

All sources of fire in New Mexico are re quired to sub m it trackin g inf o rm ation f o llowing

com p letion of burns (see Appendix E-2, Ne w Me xico' s Sm oke M a nagem e nt Regulation). Burners are required to subm it inform ation on acreage or pile volum e of burns a nd e m ission reduction techniques utilized. This tracking inform ation will be used to develop an e m issions inventory for fire em issions from all sources of fire in New Mexico. E m ission factors will be applied to each burn to develop em issions estim ates.

M-3: Road Dust Emissions Tracking and Inventory

Fugitive dus t from paved and unpav e d roads is a si gnificant source of P M em issions . To ensu re that PM emissions are tracked effectively, the State of New Mexico wi ll track PM em issions using the W R AP em issions databas e m a nagem e nt system (EDMS). The EDMS will track P M

em issions, along with VOC, NO x , SO 2 , EC, OC, CO, and NH 3, and provide the ne c e ssary ac tiv ity data and em ission factors needed to calcu late em issions. Th e data will b e tracked at the coun ty and reservation level for all sour ces and also individu ally for point and fi re so urces. Th e following is a W R AP EDMS flowc h art.
