21 measures within the nonattainment area and in upwind contributing areas.
22 innovative measures for local implementation.
• Emission Reduction– Low (0-1 tpd)– Medium (2-5 tpd)– High (>5 tpd)
• Cost per ton– Low (0-$2,000/ton)– Medium ($2,000 to $9,000/ton)– High (>$10,000/ton)
• Feasibility considers both technical and economic issues.
Ranking Thresholds
• Measures Implemented within the Nonattainment Area
• Measures for Upwind “Contributing” Areas

• Option 1. Adopt OTC Model Rule (CAIR +)
• Option 2. Plant-by-Plant Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT)
Example: Additional Stationary Source Reductions
• I-95 Corridor
• Truck Stop Electrification (TSE)
• Engine Control Module (ECM) Recalibration
Example: OTC Corridor Strategy
• Develop voluntary agreement to cap emissions at the region’s airports.
• Ground Service Equipment, Ground Access Equipment, Gate Electrification
• National, Dulles, and BWI
Example: Airport Emissions Cap
• Portable Fuel Containers
• Solvent Cleaning
• Mobile Equipment Repair and Refinishing
• AIMs
• Consumer Products
Example: Expand OTC Measures to Upwind Counties
• Option 1. Sector Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT)
• Option 2. Source-by-Source Best Available Control Technology (BACT)
Example: Expand NOx and VOC Controls to Upwind Counties
• Implement under EPA’s voluntary measures guidance.
• Include programs being implemented at the local level (energy efficiency, renewable energy, pollution prevention, clean fuel vehicles, diesel retrofits).
