WRAP BART Clearinghouse (Updated 3/27/09)
Summary Spreadsheet: XLS
Detailed Discussion Document: PDF or DOC
This Summary 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 Detailed Discussion Document provides more information on specific actions by each of the WRAP States. These materials are 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.
