<DIV>You are correct,  we are not going to ask PA to make any additional 
reductions or to consult further. Our analysis shows that PA 
sources contribute 5.26% to visibility impairment at Dolly Sods and the 
largest contribution from a single unit is 0.58% from Allegheny's Hatfield Ferry 
Unit 32, with next two largest contributors also being units at 
Hatfield Ferry, each with a contribution of 0.57%.

  <DIV style="COLOR: #000000">Hi Doris,<BR><BR>Thanks so much for getting this 
  to me so quickly!  I really appreciate it.  I added information to 
  our SIP about the IMPROVE monitor locations, natural background and baseline 
  conditions for Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, Shenandoah, and James River 
  Face.  Some of the information I got from your powerpoint, some from the 
  VIEWS database.  Would you prefer that I cite VIEWS as the source or 
  correspondence with you?  I think the FLMs might also ask us to include 
  calculations of the uniform rate of progress for these 4 VISTAS areas.  
  <BR><BR>And, just to confirm, the Dolly Sods monitor is the representative 
  monitor for Otter Creek, correct?<BR><BR>Thanks 
  again,<BR><BR>Nancy<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: McLeod,Doris

  Laura Crowder<BR>Subject: James River Face and Shenandoah<BR><BR><BR>Hey 
  Nancy,<BR><BR>First off, I apologize for the size of this file.  VISTAS 
  does much of<BR>their information sharing using PPT charts and graphs, and I 
  think this<BR>file has the most recent data available for the VA sites.  
  We are using<BR>the new improve equation, and there are graphs showing new vs 
  old, as<BR>well as the changes to the natural condition numbers.<BR><BR>VISTAS 
  has a large number of Class I's, so they lumped the Class I's<BR>into groups 
  by geography and other similarities.  Since Shen and JRF are<BR>lumped 
  into an Appalachian region in VISTAS, the presentation also has<BR>Dolly Sods 
  info in it.  I am still going through the torture of<BR>reasonable 
  progress, and I know Laura has a jump on me with the SIP<BR>development, so I 
  think she can tell both of us if these are indeed the<BR>most recent numbers. 
  <BR><BR>Let me see what else I can dig up for you.<BR><BR>On a related note, 
  have you guys made any changes to your 2018 SO2<BR>inventory based on the 
  controls you may be expecting due to your Hg<BR>regulation?  I asked 
  Arleen Shulman about this a while back, and it<BR>sounded like you guys 
  haven't made any changes to your 2018 inventory.<BR>Just wanted to double 
  check, though.<BR><BR><BR>Doris McLeod<BR>Air Quality Planner,

  Jane<BR>Subject: regional haze<BR><BR>Hi Doris,<BR><BR>We are still working on 
  the regional haze SIP.  We had a conference call<BR>with the FLMs at the 
  end of August.  They asked us to add information<BR>for Virginia and West 
  Virginia Class I areas that our emission might<BR>affect.  For example, 
  our draft SIP included a table of MANE-VU Class I<BR>areas and the IMPROVE 
  monitors that represent them.  The next table<BR>contains 20% Best and 
  20% Worst visibility conditions for Baseline and<BR>Natural Conditions.  
  I can get most of the data from VIEWS, but when I<BR>got to that 2nd table, I 
  realized that I don't know what adjustments you<BR>made to natural conditions 
  or if you are using the default or<BR>alternative methods.  <BR><BR>I'm 
  attaching the 2 tables in a word document, so you can see what I'm<BR>talking 
  about.  Do you have this information easily available, or could<BR>you 
  point me to a VISTAS report?<BR><BR>Also, I tried to find Fred Durham's email 
  address to ask him about WV's<BR>areas but couldn't find it.  The WV 
  website doesn't seem to be working<BR>right now.  Do you have it? 
  <BR><BR>Thanks for your help!<BR><BR>Nancy
