Ozone 2. Climate Improvements (public education & outreach) o Millions in money every year to give away to programs to attain goals o History on air quality o Program updates:

▪ Simple Steps ▪ Alternative fuels-Charge Ahead Colorado ▪ Mow Down Pollution ▪ Air Quality Planning-Serious Area Ozone-SIP

o Rolling 3-year ozone design values: 70ppm is the goal o Regional Trends: 2020-2023 o Federally Enforceable Control Measures o Measures Being Evaluated o Measures Evaluated But Not Considered o Timeline control measure implementation o Robin question: Dedicated funding source?

▪ Response: RAQC survives on grants and asks local governments to contribute; receive about $300K/year; Helps with incentive program and administrative expenses; Compete for federal grant money through CDOT; 15 million is pass through for grant funding; Looking at how to get more money for “outside the box” applications; How to better fund raise; State legislature opportunities

o Sam Bailey question: Any advice on how to implement without funding? How to engage the public and stakeholders?

▪ Response: Very hard to do with limited funds; The have asked local businesses for donations; Simple Steps Better Air Program is a program they could help us with; CMAC funding for education outreach program; Sarah Goodwin is the contact for this program and can help us with our program

o Judith question: Asked about mowers and leaf blowers ▪ Response: RAQC has library of resources; Green contract management for incentives to go

electric or low emissions

PresenterPresentation NotesThanks, mike. Hi all! So as mike mentioned the Denver metro north front range is working to come into compliance with two national ambient air quality standards, more commonly referred to as NAAQS. These are the 2008 ozone standard of 75 parts per billion and the 2015 ozone standard of 70 parts per billionTo demonstrate attainment the area needs to have a design value at or lower than the standardFor ozone, the design value is defined as the 3 year average of the 4th highest 8 hour average ozone concentration.

Here we have two tables showing our 4th high 8 hour average concentrations from 2016 through early June 2020 and our recent design values. Currently we are squeaking into attainment for the 75 ppb standard in the Denver metro north front range, and are not in attainment with the 70 ppb standard. As 70 parts per billion is our goal, we continue to evaluate and implement bold new strategies to reduce emissions of air pollutants.

Regional Trends (2010-2023)

PresenterPresentation NotesOzone is a tricky pollutant to manage as there are a lot of factors at play. As ozone is a by product of a reaction between volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, and nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight we need to consider the emissions of both VOC and Nox, while also considering where they are being generated and when. This graph here is our best attempt at presenting all the trends we analyze for our planning purposes.

We have the ozone design values, our daily emission rates of voc and nox, which are our ozone precursors, population of folks in the nonattainment area, and, since our largest emission sources come from oil and gas operations and mobile sources, we have our oil and gas production rate and daily vehicle miles traveled trends as well

Federally Enforceable Control Measures

• Federal On- and Non-Road Engine Standards and Regulations• AQCC Regulation No. 11 – Vehicle Inspection/Maintenance

Programs• 7.8 Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) with 1 PSI Ethanol Waiver Fuel

Standard• Stage 1 Vapor Recovery Regulations• AQCC Regulation No. 7 – Oil and Gas Regulations• Regional Haze SIP Provisions• Other Stationary Source Regulations (Reg. No. 3, 6, 7 and 8)• AQCC Regulation No. 21 – Low VOC Architectural and Industrial

Maintenance (AIM) Coatings and Consumer Products

PresenterPresentation NotesWe have a lot of different strategies in play in the Denver metro north front range area, so for the purposes of this presentation I opted to present control measures we have in place in the Denver metro north front range in three categories: federally enforceable control measures, state enforced control measures, and measures that have been considered/are being developed for implementation as part of our current planning efforts.

I also want to say that we are actively in the process of developing our Serious SIP under the 2008 standard and as a part of that we put together a detailed write up of all the strategies I am going through today. ’d be happy to send you all a link to the document for your more indepth review. I can drop it in the chat at the end of my presentation.

On this slide here we have are federally enforced control measure. These measures are federally enforceable as they are federal mandates such as the engine standards, or they are provisions that are included in our state implementation plan. If there’s interest I can go a little deeper into why some control measures are included in the SIP and some aren’t or I can move along.

Great so our federally enforceable measures include:

Cheat Sheet:Stage 1 vapor – mandates capture vapors released from unloading transport tankers at gas stationsRegional Haze – control provisions for Electricity Generating UnitsOther Stat. Sources - Boilers, Incinerators, Graphic Arts, Pharmaceutical Synthesis, Solvents, Turbines, Kilns, Engines

Implemented, Non-Federally Enforceable Measures

Education & Outreach

Simple Steps. Better Air. Ozone Education and Outreach ProgramOzone Forecast Advisory – Voluntary Emission Reduction Actions

Transportation Transportation Demand Management ProgramBicycle and Pedestrian FacilitiesLand Use Planning and DevelopmentTransit Measures

PresenterPresentation NotesOn this slide here we have our state-only enforceable measures. I broke these down by source type to make it a little easier to follow. So for stationary sources we have…

Energy Efficiency/Renewables Policies and Programs – transition to renewable energyState-Only Requirements of AQCC Regulation No. 7 – oil and gas controls asMinor Source Reasonably Available Control Technology - AQCC Regulation No. 3 – this is a bit of a catch all outlining controls for various stationary sourcesSmall Business Assistance Program – this refers to the program run by the CDPHE that helps small businesses understand and comply with air and other environmental regulations

Next we have our mobile source programs. Mike highlighted those run by the RAQC including… We also have our diesel IM program and the newly instated LEV/ZEV mandate as well as various electric car, scooter and bike programs being established in the area.

*Strategy actively being advanced through Control Strategy Committee

PresenterPresentation Notes

So now we are getting into the strategies that are currently under evaluation and development as part of planning efforts aimed at 2023.

Back in the fall of 2019 the raqc established the control strategy committee. This committee is made up of our board members and other stakeholders from the community. We came up with a list of any conceivable control measure and started our evaluation process from there that you will see listed out on these next few slides. For strategies that passed an initial “sniff test” if you would, the RAQC staff prepared white papers looking at the cost/benefit of each strategy, the feasibility of implementation, what would need to be done to advance the strategy from a regulatory/legislative standpoint, and if the strategy promoted environmental justice. Those are denoted on this list with an asterisk. All of those papers are available on our website and I’ll chat the link for that as well.

For the sake of time I’ll not read through all of these, but do want to highlight a few that the RAQC is giving a targeted focus to right now. In April we formed three Work Groups to champion some of our bolder and more complicated to implement strategies:Clean Air Fund Work GroupEmployer Based Trip Reduction Work Group Vehicle Inspection/Maintenance and Fuels Formulation Work Group or Vimff for short

The VIMFF work group is the umbrella where we’re housing our mobile source strategy efforts, including the gas and diesel I/M program fuel standards updates listed on this slide

TransportationEco–Driving Develop and promote educational programs to encourage driving practices that

reduce fuel use and emissions.Car–Sharing Program Enable members to use cars for personal use.Parking Supply Management Decrease parking supply and increase the price of parkingDecrease Transit Fare Structure

Decrease transit fares

Increased Transit Service Levels

Increase transit service

Pay–As–You–Drive Insurance Provide vehicle insurance based on the number of miles traveled per yearFuel Tax Pricing Raise the state tax on fuel

Commuter Trip Reduction Mandate *

Develop a mandatory Commuter Trip Reduction program that meets the requirements of §182((d)(1)(B) of the CAA

Strategy Strategy Summary

Measures Evaluated


PresenterPresentation NotesOn this slide we have the transportation focused strategies Some of these did not seem to be viable at this time but we are focusing on commuter trip reduction programs through our employer based trip reduction work group. Currently the work group is looking at establishing a more robust voluntary strategy building off of the efforts such as DRCOG’s Way 2 Go program and partnering with the state on the Can Do Colorado effort that’s been launched as part of the state’s safe reopening efforts.

If the area is reclassified to severe however, such a program could be mandatory so the work group is also beginning to establish the framework for that.


Measures Evaluated

Local Government Policies

Lower Emissions Diesel Equipment Specifications*

Engage MPOs to incentivize green construction contracting policy adoption by local gov’ts

Heavy-Equipment Usage Restrictions*

Limit operations of heavy-duty equipment in the NAA

Vehicle Anti-Idling Restrictions*

Expand anti-idling policies beyond the work being done by Engines Off!

Elective Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Building Codes*

Develop local government ordinances to incentivize or mandate the inclusion of electric charging infrastructure in new construction

Boating Restrictions* Limit motorized boating activity


PresenterPresentation NotesHere we have some local government policies that could lead to decreased emissions. We don’t have a work group focusing on any of these, but we have put together an online library that has example policies, model ordinances and other toolkits that can be used by local governments who are interested in developing and implementing these policies. And RAQC staff is always ready and willing to help with those efforts.

Outreach

VMT Reduction Strategies/Expanded Commuter Trip ReductionPrograms*

Increase participation in ongoing VMT reduction programs and Commuter Trip Reduction programs operated by DRCOG and NFRMPO.

Diesel Vehicle Best Management Practices*

Increase participation in Colorado’s existing Exemplary Maintenance program for heavy duty diesel fleets.

Out of Area Inspection and Driver Education*

Outreach to drivers outside of the nonattainment area to increased inspections

CDPHE Extended Forecasting Program for the Public*

Forecast ozone more than 1 day in advance

Measures EvaluatedStrategy Strategy Summary


PresenterPresentation NotesHere we have some additional outreach programs that the RACT is looking at. Some of these dovetail with the work group efforts and some are championed by the RAQC’s simple steps better air program.


Measures Evaluated

Land UseIndirect Source Rule Non-Road Equipment*

Develop an indirect source rule to address emissions from development projects

Tree Planting Guidelines/ Urban Forest Management

Planting certain trees and managing the urban forest can have an impact on VOC and NOX emissions.

Cannabis Cultivation Operations*

Asses impacts of cannabis cultivation study on ozone formation.

Increase Development Densities, Mixed Use and Connectivity to Transportation Choices

Connect residents with a mix of land uses and transportation options can decrease the need to use a personal single–occupant vehicle for trips.

OtherDedicated State Funding for Air Quality*

Develop a dedicated funding source for projects that will support the reduction of air pollutants.


PresenterPresentation NotesLast we have our land use policies that we’ve been looking at, as well as our lone “other” strategy of securing additional funding. Our Clean Air Fund workgroup is focused on developing both fundraising approaches and a legislative fee proposal for direct program implementation and innovative program development. For a lot of our programs, and strategies that have proven to be successful the efficacy is limited by budget constraints. So finding the funding to expand the reach of these programs is a strategy we’re focusing on.

it works!We can see here that our ozone concentration is trending downwards and we have achieved the previous standard of 84 ppb and are on our way to attaining 75 and eventually 70

We can also see that we have seen a significant decrease in emissions in the past decade.
