Emissions Inventories and Modeling Protocols Subcommittee


Overview/Purpose for all RHPWG Subcommittees:
The purpose of the subcommittees in their subject areas would be to:
  1. Interact and coordinate with other appropriate WRAP Work Groups for Regional Haze SIP preparation tasks.
  2. Develop principles or protocols to guide RH SIP preparation tasks that are appropriate for western state circumstances.
  3. Determine when and what contract work is needed and assist in preparation of contract tasks and evaluation of work products.
  4. Keep pace of work on schedule for RH SIP preparation
The Emissions Inventories and Modeling Protocols Subcommittee helps assemble Base Year, coordinates Regional Inventory, forecasts 2028, and works with Modelers on Source apportionment modeling and Setting RPGs for Most Impaired Days.
