Reporting:
"
In
order
to
facilitate
self­
evaluation
and
communication
with
EPA,
TCEQ,

stakeholders,
and
the
public,
the
region
will
assess
and
report
progress
towards
milestones
in
a
regular,
public
process,
at
least
every
six
months,
beginning
in
June
2003."
The
format
of
this
report
will
follow
informal
guidance
developed
by
EPA's
EAC
Policy
Guidance
Workgroup
and
forwarded
by
Michael
Morton,
the
EPA
Region
6
EAC
Coordinator.
The
report
provides
information
on
the
A/
RR
MSA
Clean
Air
Action
Plan
(
CAAP)
schedule
and
list
of
additions
or
deletions
of
emission
reduction
measures.
Also
this
report
describes
progress
that
the
area
has
made
in
completing
technical
analyses
for
attainment
demonstration,
list
of
meetings
conducted
by
the
stakeholders,
schedule
for
adoption
and
implementation
of
State
regulations
and
schedule
of
public
meetings
and/
or
hearings
that
have
or
will
be
conducted
prior
to
SIP
submittal.

This
progress
report
constitutes
only
a
brief
summary
of
the
activities
that
have
been
taking
place
over
the
past
six
months
in
furtherance
of
the
objectives
of
the
Clean
Air
Coalition
(
CAC)
and
the
CLEAN
AIR
Force,
and
the
commitments
made
in
the
EAC.

Additional
information
in
the
form
of
meeting
summaries
and

Background
Local
governments,
community
and
business
leaders,
environmental
groups,
and
concerned
citizens
in
Bastrop,
Caldwell,
Hays,
Travis
and
Williamson
Counties
(
A/
RR
MSA)
are
committed
to
improving
regional
air
quality.
The
MSA
is
acting
now
to
assure
attainment
and
maintenance
of
the
federal
8­
hour
standard
for
ground­
level
ozone.
Using
the
Early
Action
Compact
(
EAC)
Protocol,
the
Austin/
RR
MSA
submitted
a
Clean
Air
Action
Plan
(
CAAP)
to
the
Texas
Commission
on
Environmental
Quality
(
TCEQ)
that
provides
clean
air
sooner,
maintains
local
flexibility
and
can
defer
the
effective
date
of
a
possible
nonattainment
designation.

EPA
issued
the
Protocol
for
Early
Action
Compacts
Designed
to
Achieve
and
Maintain
the
8­
Hour
Ozone
Standard
(
the
Protocol)
on
June
1,
2002
and
revised
it
in
November
2002.
The
Protocol
provides
the
framework
for
a
voluntary
commitment
to
develop
and
implement
an
emission
reduction
plan
that
assures
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
by
2007
and
maintenance
at
least
through
2012.

A
key
point
of
the
EAC
is
the
flexibility
it
affords
areas
in
selecting
emission
reduction
measures.
Based
on
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)­
quality
science,
signatories
choose
the
combination
of
measures
that
meet
both
local
needs
and
emission
reduction
targets.

On
December
18,
2002,
the
cities
of
Austin,
Bastrop,
Elgin,
Lockhart,
Luling,
Round
Rock,
and
San
Marcos;
the
counties
of
Bastrop,
Caldwell,
Hays,
Travis,
and
Williamson;

TCEQ
and
EPA,
entered
into
an
EAC
for
the

Should
an
EAC
area
miss
a
milestone
at
anytime
during
the
agreement,
including
attaining
the
8­
hour
standard
by
2007,
they
will
forfeit
their
participation
and
rejoin
the
8­
hour
implementation
process
in
progress,
and
will
be
subject
to
the
same
requirements
and
deadlines
which
would
have
been
effective
had
they
not
participated
in
this
program,

with
no
delays
or
exemptions
from
EPA
rules.
Local
governments,
community
and
business
leaders,
environmental
groups,
and
concerned
citizens
in
the
Austin//
RR
MSA
have
shown
their
commitment
to
improving
regional
air
quality
by
acting
to
assure
attainment
and
maintenance
of
the
federal
8­
hour
standard
for
ground­
level
ozone
in
their
area
through
their
EAC.
In
accordance
with
the
commitments
made
in
the
area's
EAC,

the
Austin//
RR
MSA
prepared
and
submitted
a
Clean
Air
Action
Plan
(
CAAP)
for
the
region
to
demonstrate
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
standard
in
the
area
by
2007
and
6
maintenance
of
the
standard
until
at
least
2012.
The
CAAP
can
be
accessed
online
at
the
Capitol
Area
Planning
Council
(
CAPCO)

address
described
above.
During
the
January
2004
through
June
2004
reporting
period
all
of
the
milestones
listed
above
for
the
period
were
met.

Proposed
SIP
Revisions
Based
on
the
CAAP
The
A/
RR
MSA
CAAP
was
submitted
to
the
EPA
and
TCEQ
on
March
31st
2004.
The
CAAP
listed
13
"
State
Assisted
Measures"
which
would
apply
to
all
or
most
jurisdictions
in
the
A/
RR
MSA
and
would
require
action
by
the
TCEQ
to
enable
implementation.
In
addition
a
number
of
Locally
Implemented
Measures
were
self­
selected
by
the
EAC
signatories,
with
each
encouraged
to
implement
at
least
three
in
addition
to
continuing
O3
Flex
commitments.
Jurisdictions
could
choose
to
enhance
an
existing
O3
Flex
measure.

Summary
of
Recommendations
by
TCEQ
At
the
TCEQ
Commissioner's
Work
Session
on
April
30,
2004,
the
commissioners
discussed
possible
revisions
to
the
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)
and
several
potential
rule
revisions
requested
by
Texas
EAC
areas.
The
Commission
scheduled
to
take
action
on
these
items
at
the
July
14,
2004
Commissioners'
Agenda.
On
June
25,
2004,
the
Executive
Director
of
the
TCEQ
filed
recommended
SIP
revisions
for
the
July
14,
2004
Commissioner's
Agenda
that
included
some,
but
not
all,
of
the
state
rule
changes
to
30
TAC
Chapters
114
and
115
the
Austin/
RR
MSA
CAAP
requested.

For
the
A/
RR
MSA
EAC
SIP
Revision,
the
pending
recommended
revision
to
the
SIP
consists
of
an
8­
hour
ozone
attainment
demonstration
for
the
area
based
on
the
EAC
CAAP
submitted
to
TCEQ
by
the
area
in
March
2004.
The
CAAP
contains
results
of
photochemical
modeling
and
technical
documentation
in
support
of
the
attainment
7
demonstration.
As
a
result
of
these
analyses,
and
at
the
request
of
the
Austin
local
governments,
the
TCEQ
staff
recommendation
includes
state
rule
revisions
implementing
a
revised
state
vehicle
inspection
and
maintenance
(
I/
M)
program
in
Travis
and
Williamson
Counties;
a
new
rule
allowing
jurisdictions
to
enforce
heavy
duty
diesel
idling
restrictions
within
their
boundaries
through
an
enforcement
agreement
with
TCEQ;

and,
for
all
5
counties
in
the
Austin/
RR
MSA,
revisions
to
the
state
rules
regulating
degreasing,
Stage
1
vapor
recovery,
and
cutback
asphalt
operations.
In
addition,
TCEQ
proposed
a
new
low
VOC
gasoline
container
rule,
similar
to
that
proposed
in
the
Austin/
RR
MSA
CAAP,
that
will
apply
statewide.
The
entire
SIP
Revision
documentation
with
all
appendices
is
available
at
the
TCEQ
website
(
http://
www.
tnrcc.
state.
tx.

rules).

TCEQ
staff
did
not
include
the
following
requested
state
rules
from
the
Austin/
RR
MSA
CAAP
in
the
June
25,
2004,
proposed
rulemaking:


Autobody
Refinishing
controls

Commute
Emissions
Reduction
Program

Low
RVP
gasoline

Dry
Cleaning
regulations

Point
Source
Emissions
Balancing/
Offsets
Due
to
time
constraints
under
the
EAC,
the
fact
that
these
rules
were
not
proposed
likely
means
they
stand
little
chance
of
being
adopted
in
time
to
be
included
in
the
SIP
revision
submitted
to
satisfy
the
December
2004
EAC
milestone.

TCEQ
Commissioners
and
TCEQ
staff
have
indicated
two
of
our
region's
requested
state
actions
for
the
SIP
will
be
addressed
outside
the
rulemaking
process,
as
follows:


Voluntary
Power
Plant
Agreements,
implemented
by
permit
change
as
opposed
to
state
rule,
no
later
than
12/
31/
05

TERP
commitment
 
TCEQ
Commissioners
instructed
TCEQ
staff
on
May
17
to
prepare
a
TERP
allocation
proposal
to
ensure
TERP
grant
funds
result
in
SIP
reductions.
It
is
unclear
at
this
time
what
this
allocation
policy
will
be
and
how
it
8
will
impact
our
region's
CAAP
commitment
of
2
tpd
under
TERP.
Comments
at
the
May
17
Work
Session
indicated
TCEQ
may
alter
that
commitment,
depending
on
what
funds
the
region
is
allocated.
TCEQ
plans
to
complete
the
allocation
policy
some
time
this
fall.

Locally
Implemented
EAC
Measure
Status
Locally
Implemented
EAC
measures
build
on
those
in
the
O3
Flex
Agreement.
More
detailed
descriptions,
and
commitments
from
participating
agencies,
appear
in
Appendix
5­
2
of
the
CAAP.
Signatories
interpret
and
implement
these
measures
according
to
their
needs
and
abilities.
With
the
exception
of
the
Transportation
Emission
Reduction
Measures
(
TERMs),
the
CAAP
neither
quantifies
these
reductions
nor
includes
them
in
its
modeling.

In
addition
to
the
self­
selected
measures,
the
major
fuel
supplier
to
the
Austin/
RR
MSA
began
supplying
Ultra
Low
Sulfur
Gasoline
since
the
summer
months
of
2003.

The
Austin/
Round
Rock
MSA
CAAP
which
was
completed
and
sent
to
EPA
and
TCEQ
on
March
31,
2004,
is
based
on
a
modeled
attainment
demonstration
for
2007.
The
analysis
for
growth
indicated
that
the
attainment
status
will
be
maintained
through
2012.

The
EAC
milestone
reports
documenting
each
of
the
technical

activities
performed
to
support
the
attainment
demonstration
are
included
as
appendices
to
the
CAAP
and
can
be
accessed
on
the

web
site.

A
brief
discussion
follows
on
several
of
these
technical
support
activities
completed
during
the
reporting
period.
In
addition,
a
short
discussion
is
included
on
ozone

A
final

of
2004
ozone
season
monitoring
will

(

Attainment
maintenance
analysis
The
anticipated
future
growth
has
been
evaluated
for
the
region
to
ensure
that
the
area
will
remain
in
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
standard
for
the
time
period
2007
through
2012
and
2015.
This
evaluation
included
analysis
of
population
growth
and
its
effect
on
onroad
and
non­
road
mobile
emissions
and
area
sources,
and
new
and
planned
new
point
sources.

Control
strategy
projections
are
estimates
of
future
year
emissions
that
also
include
the
expected
impact
of
modified
or
additional
control
regulations.
We
determined
future
scheduled
regulations,
whether
at
the
federal,
state,
or
local
level,
and
applied
them
to
sources
in
our
area.
Fuel
switching,
fuel
efficiency
improvements,
improvements
in
performance
due
to
economic
influences
or
any
occurrence
that
alters
the
emission
producing
process
may
also
affect
future
year
emissions.
These
should
all
be
reflected
in
the
projections
through
the
future
year
control
factor,
emission
factor,
or
in
some
cases,

by
adjusting
the
activity
growth
forecast.
Control
factors
and
emission
factors
vary
by
source
category
and
are
continuously
being
revised
and
improved
based
on
field
and
laboratory
measurements.
In
many
cases,
it
will
also
be
necessary
to
account
for
multiple
programs,
which
affect
the
same
source
category.
Therefore,
expected
controls
are
calculated
for
each
action
and
applied
appropriately
on
the
stated
dates.
Other
programs
are
complex
and
determining
appropriate
control
factors
or
adjustments
to
activity
forecasts
for
specific
source
categories
is
not
straightforward.
For
example,
initiatives
to
reduce
energy
use,
such
as
the
EPA
Green
Lights
program,
are
aimed
at
reducing
electricity
demand.
This,
in
turn,
is
tied
to
reductions
in
emissions
from
individual
utility
boilers.
Emission
caps
or
allowance
programs
set
overall
constraints
on
future
emission
levels,
but
this
must
also
be
translated
into
reductions
at
individual
units
in
most
cases.

For
trading
programs,
a
simplified
approach
may
be
to
constrain
emissions
at
individual
units
to
the
level
used
to
calculate
the
emission
budget.
More
complex
approaches
would
14
examine
how
individual
units
will
respond
 
by
controlling
emissions
or
purchasing
credits.

CAPCO
and
CAMPO
staff
will
analyze
air
quality
and
related
data
and
perform
necessary
modeling
updates
annually.
In
addition
to
the
data
sources
used
for
the
above
analyses,
staff
may
add
information
from
The
Central
Texas
Sustainability
Indicators
15
Project
(
CTSIP).
The
CTSIP
is
a
nonprofit
organization
that
tracks
40
key
indicators
(
e.
g.,
water
pollution,
air
quality,
density
of
new
development)
that
show
the
economic,

environmental
and
social
health
of
our
MSA.
The
results
of
all
these
analyses
will
be
reported
in
the
June
semi­
annual
reports
beginning
in
June
2005.

Details
about
this
analysis
can
be
found
in
the
CAAP
Milestone
document
Attainment
Maintenance
Analysis,
prepared
by
EAC
task
force,
January
2004.

Emission
Reduction
Strategies
Various
emission
reduction
techniques
can
effectively
reduce
ozone
precursors.

Emission
reduction
methods
employed
nationally
(
e.
g.,
automotive
emission
reductions),

statewide
and
regionally
(
emission
reductions
from
EGUs)
benefit
the
Austin
area,
but
more
reductions
are
needed
to
ensure
clean
air
for
the
region
by
2007.
Ozone
precursors
include
Nitrogen
Oxides
(
NOx)
and
Volatile
Organic
Compounds
(
VOC)
from
vehicles,

electric
utilities
and
other
industrial,
commercial
and
residential
sources
that
burn
fuels.

The
EAC
provides
the
mechanism
for
local
emission
reduction
measures
to
be
considered
and
recommended
for
inclusion
in
the
State
Implementation
Plan.
This
study
provides
the
description
for
each
of
the
local
control
measures
under
consideration.
This
final
selection
of
measures
is
based
on
review
and
approved
by
local
stakeholders
and
officials
and
on
technical
demonstration
showing
attainment
of
the
8­
hour
ozone
standard
by
December
31,
2007.
Table

Modeling
control
cases
Modeling
was
performed
to
indicate
the
amount
of
reductions
needed
in
the
area.
The
model
shows
that
up
to
80%
of
ozone
monitored
locally
has
been
transported
from
outside
the
area.
Emission
control
strategies
have
been
evaluated
that
will
provide
the
Austin
area
with
a
margin
of
safety
for
attaining
the
standard.
Control
strategies
assessed
include
a
vehicle
inspection
and
maintenance
program,
voluntary
NOx
reductions
at
local
power
plants
beyond
those
already
required
by
Senate
Bill
7,
implementation
of
the
Texas
Emissions
Reduction
Program
(
TERP),
a
commute
program,
VOC
controls
on
area
sources,
transportation
emission
reduction
measures
(
TERMS),
and
idling
restrictions
on
17
heavy
duty
diesel
engines.
The
results
from
this
analysis
indicate
that
all
of
the
emission
control
scenarios
under
consideration
will
facilitate
Austin's
progress
toward
maintaining
attainment
with
the
8­
hour
NAAQS
and
reducing
population
exposure
to
ozone.

Challenges
Ahead/
Next
Steps
It
has
been
extremely
challenging
in
the
time
allotted
for
EAC
development
to
accomplish
the
technical
assessments
required
for
a
SIP­
quality
local
clean
air
plan
and
at
the
same
time
bring
stakeholders
and
government
officials
together
to
agree
on
acceptable
emission
reduction
strategies.
However,
all
EAC
milestones
have
been
met
and
the
CAAP
has
been
submitted
to
the
TCEQ
for
their
consideration
and
incorporation
into
the
SIP.
During
this
reporting
period
there
has
been
much
discussion
between
State
and
local
partners
in
the
EAC
to
add
further
definition
to
proposed
emission
reduction
measures
and
to
explore
additional
legal
and
political
issues
associated
with
each
measure.
While
the
draft
SIP
revisions
posted
on
the
TCEQ
web
site
on
June
25th
for
consideration
at
the
July
14th
Agenda
do
not
include
all
the
State
Assisted
Measures
local
elected
officials
requested
in
the
CAAP
submitted
on
March
31,
local
stakeholders
remain
optimistic
that
TCEQ
Commissioners
are
committed
to
continue
working
with
the
region
to
find
satisfactory
alternative
measures
to
begin
addressing
the
issues
the
deleted
State
Assisted
Measures
hoped
to
address.

Strategies
addressed
in
the
CAAP
but
not
included
in
TCEQ's
SIP
revision
proposal
include
the
Commute
Emission
Reduction
and
Emission
Balancing
measures.
The
intent
of
the
Commute
Emission
Reduction
strategy
is
to
get
local
major
employers
(
both
private
and
government)
engaged
in
actively
pursuing
activities
which
will
reduce
ozone
precursor
emissions
equivalent
to
10%
of
the
emissions
generated
by
employees
in
Single
Occupant
Vehicle
commutes.
This
measure
is
based
on
the
existing
voluntary
Clean
Air
Partners
program.
While
all
local
efforts
are
being
made
to
recruit
new
Clean
Air
Partners,
a
majority
of
the
TCEQ
Commissioners
have
committed
to
continue
discussions
to
achieve
a
greater
level
of
participation
in
the
program,
especially
among
state
agencies.

The
CAAP
included
the
Emission
Balancing
measure
to
deal
with
the
potential
impact
on
the
area's
attainment
status
that
major
new
sources
of
NOx
emissions
could
have
if
emissions
are
not
offset
or
evaluated
for
ozone
impact
on
the
local
area.
Discussions
are
26
continuing
at
the
staff
level
to
explore
new
source
permitting
options
to
achieve
the
desired
level
of
protection
in
the
local
area
from
new
point
source
ozone
precursor
emissions,
which
could
jeopardize
the
region's
attainment
status.

While
local
EAC
signatories
are
concerned
that
the
suite
of
proposed
rules
currently
under
consideration
for
proposal
will
not
fully
implement
the
Fair
Share
concept
that
guided
our
region's
CAAP
development,
the
region
plans
to
continue
to
work
with
TCEQ
to
address
the
issues
involved
in
the
measures
that
have
not
been
proposed
as
state
rules
and
to
meet
the
outstanding
EAC
milestones.

Of
the
rules
currently
under
consideration
there
are
still
some
issues
that
need
to
be
considered
to
achieve
maximum
effectiveness
of
the
control
strategy.
The
primary
strategy
that
will
require
careful
attention
to
detail
is
the
Vehicle
Inspection
&

Maintenance
Program.
A
vital
part
of
I&
M
is
the
Low
Income
Repair
Assistance
and
Accelerated
Retirement
Program
(
LIRAP),
the
funding
for
which
is
currently
under
budget
review
by
TCEQ.
It
will
be
important
to
provide
enough
support
to
enable
effective
administration
of
this
program,
as
well
as,
provide
funding
in
sufficient
amounts
to
encourage
low­
income
owners
of
high
emitting
vehicles
to
get
them
fixed
or
replaced.

Another
TCEQ
program
that
the
local
area
is
counting
on
for
significant
NOx
emission
reductions
is
the
Texas
Emissions
Reduction
Program.
As
previously
discussed,
the
TCEQ
is
currently
reviewing
their
procedures
for
awarding
TERP
grants,
in
light
of
the
amount
of
funding
being
applied
for
greatly
exceeding
the
available
funds.
Among
options
being
considered
are
different
allocation
schemes.
If
sufficient
TERP
funds
are
not
allocated
to
the
Austin/
RR
MSA,
it
will
be
impossible
for
the
region
to
reach
our
target
of
2
tons/
day
of
NOx
reductions
for
TERP
projects.

Elected
officials
and
stakeholders
in
the
Austin/
RR
MSA
will
be
closely
coordinating
with
their
TCEQ
and
EPA
partners
in
the
EAC
to
complete
an
acceptable
SIP
Revision
necessary
to
meet
the
next
EAC
milestone
for
SIP
submittal
by
December
31,
2004.
27
While
numerous
challenges
have
arisen
during
the
EAC
CAAP
development
process,
all
milestones
have
been
met
and
the
working
relationships
established
between
partners
and
stakeholders
are
expected
to
contribute
to
continued
success
of
the
program.
