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.

Oil & Gas Greenhouse Gas Protocol Project Update (12/19/08)
On behalf of the New Mexico Environment Department, the California Air Resources Board, and The Climate Registry, WRAP staff are coordinating an O&G exploration and production greenhouse gas reporting protocol development project. The project will support mandatory reporting requirements to be promulgated by NM and CA for the Western Climate Initiative (WCI). The project will also develop and support adoption of a comprehensive voluntary reporting protocol by TCR. Activities and work products are available on the O&G GHG Protocol project webpage. Please contact Tom Moore for more information.

Regional Haze Implementation Plan Status Summary webpage added (11/29/08)
A new section has been added to track progress toward the completion of Regional Haze SIPs and FIPs across the WRAP region. The SIP Status Summary page contains a table showing the progress on completing BART determinations, Plan hearings, and Plan adoptions. The page also provides access to the WRAP regional analysis documentation for §308 and §309 of the Regional Haze Rule. Please contact Tom Moore or Lee Gribovicz with questions or to update the status table.

WRAP BART Clearinghouse (Updated 10/24/08) XLS
This spreadsheet identifies all the BART eligible sources in the WRAP region and tracks their individual status as they proceed through the BART process. This includes the status of “Subject to BART” modeling and determinations, the modeling entities, the impact thresholds used, any BART control limits developed for the source, and the person to contact for further information in each state. The spreadsheet is meant to promote consistency and information sharing among WRAP states and tribes and EPA as they implement BART or alternatives to BART. The clearinghouse will be updated periodically and States, Tribes, and the EPA are encouraged to submit new BART status information to Lee Gribovicz as it becomes available.

The workshop participants reviewed key technical findings and recommendations for future WRAP workplans and updates on WRAP project activities to assist states with regional haze planning and implementation. Materials from the workshop are posted at: http://www.wrapair.org/forums/amc/meetings/080930m
