Nancy,

You are correct,  we are not going to ask PA to make any additional
reductions or to consult further. Our analysis shows that PA
sources contribute 5.26% to visibility impairment at Dolly Sods and the
largest contribution from a single unit is 0.58% from Allegheny's Hatfield Ferry
Unit 32, with next two largest contributors also being units at
Hatfield Ferry, each with a contribution of 0.57%.

Hi Laura and Doris,

I realized there was one more item I
wanted to follow up on with you.  I believe I may have spoken to Doris
about it before, but I wanted to confirm that Virginia and West Virginia are not
identifying Pennsylvania as an important contributor to visibility impairment in
their Class I areas and are not requesting that Pennsylvania participate in
their state-to-state consultation process for the first round of regional haze
SIPs.

Thanks again,

Nancy

Nancy,

Dolly Sods is representative of Otter Creek. (There is not a monitor at
  Otter Creek.)

Hi Doris,

Thanks so much for getting this
  to me so quickly!  I really appreciate it.  I added information to
  our SIP about the IMPROVE monitor locations, natural background and baseline
  conditions for Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, Shenandoah, and James River
  Face.  Some of the information I got from your powerpoint, some from the
  VIEWS database.  Would you prefer that I cite VIEWS as the source or
  correspondence with you?  I think the FLMs might also ask us to include
  calculations of the uniform rate of progress for these 4 VISTAS areas.

And, just to confirm, the Dolly Sods monitor is the representative
  monitor for Otter Creek, correct?

Thanks
  again,

Nancy

Hey
  Nancy,

First off, I apologize for the size of this file.  VISTAS
  does much of
their information sharing using PPT charts and graphs, and I
  think this
file has the most recent data available for the VA sites.
  We are using
the new improve equation, and there are graphs showing new vs
  old, as
well as the changes to the natural condition numbers.

VISTAS
  has a large number of Class I's, so they lumped the Class I's
into groups
  by geography and other similarities.  Since Shen and JRF are
lumped
  into an Appalachian region in VISTAS, the presentation also has
Dolly Sods
  info in it.  I am still going through the torture of
reasonable
  progress, and I know Laura has a jump on me with the SIP
development, so I
  think she can tell both of us if these are indeed the
most recent numbers.

Let me see what else I can dig up for you.

On a related note,
  have you guys made any changes to your 2018 SO2
inventory based on the
  controls you may be expecting due to your Hg
regulation?  I asked
  Arleen Shulman about this a while back, and it
sounded like you guys
  haven't made any changes to your 2018 inventory.
Just wanted to double
  check, though.

Subject: regional haze

Hi Doris,

We are still working on
  the regional haze SIP.  We had a conference call
with the FLMs at the
  end of August.  They asked us to add information
for Virginia and West
  Virginia Class I areas that our emission might
affect.  For example,
  our draft SIP included a table of MANE-VU Class I
areas and the IMPROVE
  monitors that represent them.  The next table
contains 20% Best and
  20% Worst visibility conditions for Baseline and
Natural Conditions.
  I can get most of the data from VIEWS, but when I
got to that 2nd table, I
  realized that I don't know what adjustments you
made to natural conditions
  or if you are using the default or
alternative methods.

I'm
  attaching the 2 tables in a word document, so you can see what I'm
talking
  about.  Do you have this information easily available, or could
you
  point me to a VISTAS report?

Also, I tried to find Fred Durham's email
  address to ask him about WV's
areas but couldn't find it.  The WV
  website doesn't seem to be working
right now.  Do you have it?

Thanks for your help!

Nancy
