### Introduction

The Visibility Improvement Stat e and Tribal Association of th e Southeast (VISTAS) Regional Planning Organization is in the process of developing a web site that will provide links to or directions for receiving all of the final work products from the VISTAS regional haze and visibility activities. This web s ite will be the repository for th e various VISTAS reports, analysis products, SIP documentation, associated presenta tions, and meteorological, emissions, and air quality modeling input and output information.

The VISTAS Final Work Products web site is a link off of the VISTAS m ain web site ( http://www.vistas-ses arm.org/index.asp ). At present, the direct link to the VISTAS Final Work Products is http://www.vistas-sesarm.or g/docum ents/FinalDocs.asp . This direct lin k is subject to potential revisions as VISTAS ma kes cost effective decisions fo r the long-term storage of and access to these final work products. If the direct link listed above changes in the future, the Final Work Products link off of the VISTAS main web site will be appropria tely updated. The raw meteorological, emissions, and air quality modeli ng input and output datase ts will in many cases surpass any practical file size fo r online storage or downloading. T hose interested in these very large datasets are welcome to request this information from Pat Brewer, VISTAS Technical Coordinator, or John Hornback, VISTAS Execu tive Director, via telephone, email, or direct mail. Their contact information is listed below:

Pat Brewer John Hornback VISTAS Technical Coordinato r VISTAS Executive Director 2090 U.S. 70 Highway Metro 4 / SESARM / VISTAS Swannanoa, NC 28778 526 Forest Parkway, Suite F 828-296-4500 Forest Park, GA 30297-6140 pat.brewer@ncmail.net 404-361-4000 hornback@metro4-sesarm.org

Arrangements can then be made to transfer the requested m odeling data using the most appropriate method or medium from the VISTAS archives.

Appendix I.1 contains the most recent version of the VISTAS Final Products O utline. This appendix provides a hard copy of the VISTAS Fi nal Work Products web site including full web or FTP links, including any appropriate user names and passwords, to all the information described above.

Additionally, the Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KYDAQ) has stored the CALPUFF modeling input and output files us ed for each Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) exemption or determination modeling demonstrati on presented in Appendix L. Those interested in the input and output files from any of the tw enty-six BART-eligible sources in Kentucky can request this information from Martin Luther, with KYDAQ, at martin.luther@ky.gov or 502- 573-3382.[This page intentionally left blank.]
