309(g) SIP TSD and Supplemental Information

CAUTION:  SOME FILES MAY BE IN EXCESS OF 5 MB
 

 The Wyoming Regional Haze 309(g) SIP incorporates the WRAP Technical Support System (TSS) information in two basic ways.

1. Some information has been imported directly into the SIP from the TSS site, such as premade tables and charts.  In this case the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) has cited the basic URL for all areas of the TSS (http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tss/).  Basic information regarding the WRAP TSS can be found at the bottom of this page.

2. Some information has been pulled from the TSS and incorporated in tables, charts and text that the WDEQ has created.  The WDEQ has kept track of what information has been extracted and created spreadsheets which can be correlated with various uses.  The supplemental references table below lists specific tables, figures or sections in the Regional Haze SIP along with the corresponding spreadsheet or document.

The Wyoming Technical Support Document (TSD) is a compilation of all of the technical support that did not come off of the TSS in one of the two ways listed above.  This list includes many WRAP work products that are not directly downloaded from the TSS, such as workplans, technical memorandums, and analyses contracted through the WRAP.  The Wyoming TSD also contains technical information gathered outside of the WRAP process for the development of the 309(g) Wyoming Regional Haze SIP.  The contents of the Wyoming TSD are listed below.

Chapter 13 - Technical Information and Data Relied Upon in This Plan

1)  WRAP Technical Support System Web Site Description (November 16, 2009 Draft)

 

WRAP TSS

The Technical Support System (TSS) (http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tss/) has been developed by the Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) to provide a single portal to technical data and analytical results prepared by WRAP Forums and Workgroups.  The data, results, and methods displayed on the TSS are intended to support the air quality planning needs of Western states and tribes, and will be maintained and updated to support both the implementation of regional haze plans and other Western air quality analysis and management requirements.

The TSS integrates a number of different information resources, or data nodes, under one web-based umbrella.  The data nodes currently supporting the TSS include:

Causes of Haze Assessment (CoHA) - The CoHA website is an online report that answers questions about the chemical components that cause regional haze, relationships of haze to meteorology, the emissions that cause haze, and the effects of previous and future emissions reductions on the worst and best visibility levels.

Emissions Data Management System (EDMS) - The WRAP EDMS is an emission inventory data warehouse and web-based application that provides a consistent approach to regional emissions tracking to meet the requirements for State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Tribal Implementation Plan (TIP) development and periodic review and updates.

Fire Emissions Tracking System (FETS) - The FETS is a database with a web interface for planned and unplanned fire events.  Users can view fire data on-screen with a mapping tool and query the database for downloads of data into model-ready formats and CSV or DBF formats.

WRAP Regional Modeling Center (RMC) - The WRAP RMC assists State and Tribal agencies in conducting regional haze analyses over the Western U.S. by operating regional scale, three-dimensional air quality models that simulate the emission, transformation, and transport of pollutants and the effects on visibility in WRAP Class I areas.

More information on how the WRAP TSS works can be found at the WRAP TSS site.
