Ranking Thresholds

• Emission Reduction
• Low (0-1 tpd)
• Medium (2-5 tpd)
• High (gt5 tpd)
• Cost per ton
• Low (0-2,000/ton)
• Medium (2,000 to 9,000/ton)
• High (gt10,000/ton)
• Feasibility considers both technical and economic
  issues.

7
Strategies

• Measures Implemented within the Nonattainment
  Area
• Measures for Upwind Contributing Areas

8

• Example Additional Stationary Source Reductions

• Option 1. Adopt OTC Model Rule (CAIR )
• Option 2. Plant-by-Plant Reasonably Available
  Control Technology (RACT)

9
Example OTC Corridor Strategy

• I-95 Corridor
• Truck Stop Electrification (TSE)
• Engine Control Module (ECM) Recalibration

10
Example Airport Emissions Cap

• Develop voluntary agreement to cap emissions at
  the regions airports.
• Ground Service Equipment, Ground Access
  Equipment, Gate Electrification
• National, Dulles, and BWI

11
Example Expand OTC Measures to Upwind Counties

• Portable Fuel Containers
• Solvent Cleaning
• Mobile Equipment Repair and Refinishing
• AIMs
• Consumer Products

12
Example Expand NOx and VOC Controls to Upwind
Counties

• Option 1. Sector Reasonably Available Control
  Technology (RACT)
• Option 2. Source-by-Source Best Available
  Control Technology (BACT)

13
Innovative Measures Bundle

• Implement under EPAs voluntary measures
  guidance.
• Include programs being implemented at the local
  level (energy efficiency, renewable energy,
  pollution prevention, clean fuel vehicles, diesel
  retrofits).

Next Steps

• Coordinate with IAQC on Upwind Controls
• Complete Draft Priority Measures Report
• Document Emission Reduction and Cost for each
  Priority Measure
• MWAQC Reviews Prelimin. Control Measures May
  25, 2005
• Master List is a living document, suggestions
  always welcome.
