Welcome to the Western Regional Air 

Partnership

The purpose of the WRAP is to develop data, tools, 

and policies needed by states and tribes to improve 

visibility in parks and wilderness areas across the 

West. 

Regional Haze Implementation Plan Status 

Summary page updated (12/23/09) 

The SIP Status page, used to track progress toward 

the completion of Regional Haze SIPs and FIPs 

across the WRAP region, has been updated after 

the December 17, 2009 Implementation 

WorkGroup call. Below the SIP Status Summary

on the front page, there are direct links to the 

WRAP regional analysis documentation for §308 

and §309 of the Regional Haze Rule are available, 

as well as to a status summary of BART 

determinations work by the states and EPA. Direct 

links to the TSS, VIEWS, EDMS, and FETS 

technical decision support systems are now 

available at the bottom of the lefthand button bar. 

Please contact Don Arkell or Lee Gribovicz with 

questions or to update the SIP or BART status 

tables. 

WRAP BART Clearinghouse

For several years through 2009 the WRAP 

maintained a BART Clearinghouse and updated 

that clearinghouse with BART information as 

This web site has been archived and will not be 

updated. Many pages have not been updated 

since 2009 or earlier. This site will continue to be 

available and bookmarked links will remain 

operational. A new WRAP web site is in 

development. For more information contact:

States promulgated their individual BART Rules, 

made preliminary BART determinations, required 

BART analyses from “Subject to BART” sources, 

and reviewed those analyses for making decisions 

on final BART control requirements. As this was a 

labor intensive effort to gather and summarize this 

BART information, and as WRAP funding is being 

reduced, the Implementation Workgroup 

determined that this effort was more demanding 

than could be sustained. Thus they gave direction 

to WRAP staff to “freeze” the BART 

Clearinghouse with the December 10, 2009 update 

of the BART Summary Spreadsheet and Detailed 

Discussion Document. As an alternative, the 

WRAP is providing website links to the individual 

State Regional Haze pages and where available, to 

those States’ BART determination pages, such that 

interested parties can get BART information 

directly from the States. The “frozen” December 

10th Clearinghouse Update and the new State 

BART links are accessed from the “SIP Status 

Summary – BART” link found in the blue banner 

in the upper left of the WRAP homepage, and 

reside at the following address:

Materials from November 11, 2009 "Ozone & 

NOx in the West" Meeting posted (12/2/09) 

This meeting provided an introduction to air 

quality management and planning issues related to 

the regional components of ozone and nitrogen 

impacts across the West. Presentation materials are 

posted on the interactive agenda. Background 

reading materials are also available. With over 60 

attendees, the audience of air quality program 

managers from both the public and private sectors 

began discussing and defining future regional work 

on ozone and nitrogen issues in the West. 4 

primary topics were reviewed: 

z Overview of the new WRAP Charter and 

summary of ongoing regional haze 

implementation activities; 

z Information on existing health and welfare 

standards and goals, including status of 

ongoing federal review processes for ozone, 

NOx, and other ambient air quality 

indicators; 

z Monitoring data and trends, network 

operations, plans for field studies, and 

analysis efforts for ozone, NOx, ammonia, 

reactive nitrogen, and VOCs; and 

z Summary information about NOx, ammonia, 

and VOC emission sources (geographic 

distribution, source sectors, comparative 

magnitudes, expected growth and controls 

through 2018).
