Implications of the Ozone SIP Shortfalls
On
The 2000 RTIP Conformity. Findings
In
South Coast Air Basin
And
Potential Approaches to Remedy Shortfalls
(SCAG — May 17, 2000)
Background - SIP Shortfalls
In late April 2000, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) announzed a series of State
Implementation Plan (SIP) shortfalls for the 1-hour Ozone SIPs. The SIP shortfalls are the
results of failure to implement fully some of the emission reduction control measures
established in the SIP for demonstration of the air quality attainment. All shortfalls are
attributable to the State sponsored control measures.
Ozone has two precursors, reactive organic gas (ROG) and nitrogen dioxide (NOx). The SIP
shortfalls were evaluated for both precursors and for the years 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, and
2010 ( attainment year). Every three years, the SIP must demonstrate reasonable further
progress, and the shortfall evaluation addressed all milestone and attainment years.
In the SCAG region, the South Cast Air Basin (SCAB) has been severely affected by the SIP
shortfalls. In other words, the 1997 Ozone (1-hour standard) SIPS for the SCAB have been
affected by the State sponsored control measure shortfalls (see the following table).
1997 Ozone SIP Shortfalls (tons/day) for On -road Mobile Sources (SCAB)
97 Ozone 1999 12002 l 2005 2008 2010 (attainment veal-)

Shortfall 1 -115 f -34.0 { -16 2 + -17.0 t -17.6 I -12.4 I -26.4 11 8.9 I -27.8 27.0
Based on the measures incorporated into the 1997 Ozone SIP
As indicated above, the ROG shortfalls increase with time and the NOx shortfalls decrease.
The ROG shortfalls are very significant, particularly in the year 2010 — attainment year.
The State sponsored control measures that caused these shortfalls apply to the following State
control measures in the SCAB: •
• Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance WM) Program (Smog Check II)
• (M 1) - Car Scrappage Program
• (M2) - Low -Emission Vehicle II (LEVII) Program
• (M4) - Incentive for Clean Engine Program
• (M5) - California Heavy Duty NOx Standard Program
• (M6) - National Heavy Duty NOx Standard (Federal Program)
• (M 17) - Additional Reductions from Heavy Duty Vehicle Program
�n01 S.1
)
The 2000 RTIP will program more than S 22 billion in projects over the next six fiscal _years.
.About 80% of the RTIP expenditures are in the South Coast Air Basin. Since the 1998 RTIP
( current RTIP) will expire on October 1, 2000, SCAG must have a nev.• federally approved and
conforming RTIP by September 30, 2000, to avoid being put in a position of lapsed conformity
and the loss of authority to initiate new projects.
The 2000 RTIP must pass several conformity tests, including:
• Regional emission test, comparing the 2000 RTIP emissions with the 1997 Ozone SIP
emission budgets [to pass this test the 2000 RTIP emissions must be equal or less than the
SIP emissions budgets].
■ Timely implementation of the transportation control measures (TCMs), i.e. high occupancy
vehicle (HOV), transit (bus, rail, and smart shuttle), and rideshare program, (to pass this test
all TCM projects must be fully funded and on schedule which they are).
The 1997 Ozone SIP shortfall of 17.8 tons per day for ROG for the year 2010 (attainment
year), imposes a serious challenge to making conformity finding of the 2000 RTIP. A
preliminary regional emission analysis of the 2000 RTTP, examining the year 2010 ROG
regional emission, indicates that the regional emissions will be 14 to 16 tons per day above the
conformity threshold (applicable emission budget) of 80.73 tons per day.
Conclusion
Unless. these SIP shortfalls are reduced conformity findings for the upcoming RTIP and the
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) can not be made.
A preliminary list of potential approaches to remedy the current situation is outlined in the
following page.

SUBJECT: CMAQ Clean Fuels Opportunity Fund Technical Analysis Findings
At the May 2000 Technical Advisory Committee meeting, Commission Staff
and its Air Quality Technical Consultant, Ray Gorski, presented information
regarding possible objective and subjective criteria for use by the Committee in
its evaluation of the CMAQ Clean Fuels Opportunity Fund applications. As
you'll recall, eight (8) projects were received in the first hour of the open
application period for Category 1 - Implementation of New or Expanded
Alternative Fuel Infrastructure totaling $2.3 M in funding requests. A reserve
amount of $1.45 M was set -aside for Category 1. Given that the Category was
over -subscribed, it was determined by the Committee that a more in-depth
evaluation of the projects was appropriate to supplement the first -come, first
serve emphasis of the CMAQ call for projects.
After significant discussion, the Committee took action to direct Staff to prepare
a technical analysis of the Category 1 projects submitted as of May 15th
including the following five objective criteria that were required elements of the
application:
1) Adherence to Checklist Requirements
2) Initial Operations Fuel Throughput
3) Quantified Emissions Reduction Potential
4) Cost Effectiveness Based on Initial Fuel Throughput
5) Cost Effectiveness Based on Emissions Reduction Potential
The findings of the technical analysis are attached as :Exhibit A. Each individual
application evaluation report includes a brief description of the project along
with a summary of other relevant factors noted by the application. The last
section of each report details Staff analysis of the five objective criteria. Staff
will review the information at the June meeting and be available for questions
regarding its findings. As requested by the Committee, copies of each
application will be provided at the meeting for its use in the evaluation process.

2.1 Introduction
This report documents the results of an independent evaluation of applications received in
response to the Riverside County Transportation Commission's Clean Fuels Opportunity Fund
for Western Riverside County. A total of eight (8) applications were received in response to
Category l: Implementation of New or Expanded Alternative Fuel Infrastructure. These
applications have been evaluated in accordance with the Objective Evaluation Criteria adopted
by the RCTC Technical Advisory Committee at their May 15, 2000 meeting. These objective
criteria quantify each project's potential to displace conventional fuels and reduce motor vehicle
air pollution emissions. In all cases, the emissions reductions were quantified using
methodologies recommended by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the
evaluation of CMAQ projects' or by the California Air Resources Board for lower emission
heavy-duty engines.
This work was performed under contract to the Riverside County Transportation Commission.
Please note that the analyses, representations, and opinions expressed herein are those of the
author and do not necessarily reflect that of the Riverside County Transportation Commission.
Please note that the technical evaluations of applications submitted in response to Call for
Projects Categories 2, 3, and 4 will be documented in subsequent reports.
2.1 Technical Approach
The RCTC Technical Advisory Committee adopted the following five (5) objective evaluation
criteria:
1. Adherence to Checklist Requirements: Assesses each application as to whether or not all
mandatory elements were provided at the time of initial application submission;
2. Initial Operations Fuel Throughput: Based upon the information provided, each station's
initial fuel utilization, measured as alternative fuel throughput per month, was calculated.
3. Quantified Emissions Reduction Potential: This criterion is based upon the type of vehicle(s)
that will utilize each refueling station in its initial operational capacity. The estimated
emissions reductions attributable to the alternative fuel vehicles are quantified.
4. Cost -Effectiveness based on Initial Fuel Throughput: This criterion is defined as "ROTC
Funding divided by annual alternative fuel throughput in equivalent diesel gallons", or
"dollars per equivalent gallon". The calculations are annualized over the three (3) year
minimum facility operational availability as specified in the Call for Projects Participation
Guidelines, Requirements, and Conditions. Based upon guidance from the RCTC Technical
Advisory Committee, this criterion is defined as to only consider the anticipated fuel usage
for the portion of the station that RCTC is co funding.

Project Title: Cota Street Public Access CNG Station
Project Description: The City of Corona proposes to construct a compressed natural gas refueling
station at their new Corporate Yard facility located on Cota Street.
Initial Station Utilization: The City currently operates a fleet of 31 CNG-fueled vehicles,
including CNG vans used in the City's Dial -A -Ride program.
Projected Station Utilization: The applicant states that they intend to purchase 21 additional CNG
vehicles over the next two years.
Proposal Quantitative Assessment:
a) Private Access Portion of station - The City currently operates 31 vehicles, including dial -a
ride vans, the emissions reductions potential of the proposed CNG station can be estimated:
▪ Daily Station Use:
■ Daily Fuel Use:
■ Vehicle Emissions:
31 light duty CNG vehicles
—180 gasoline equivalent gallons
California Ultra -Low Emission Vehicle Certification
Estimated Emissions Reductions:
■ Reactive organic Gases (ROG): 1.55 kg/day
• Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX): 2.17 kg/day
• Carbon Monoxide (CO): 0.91 kg/day
Total daily emissions reduction: 4.58 kg/day
Annual emissions reductions: 1,191 kg/year
b) Public Access Portion of Station — An unspecified number of vehicles will utilize the station
in its initial operations capacity. For the purpose of this assessment, it is assumed that five (5)
light -duty vehicles will initially utilize the public access portion of the station:
■ Daily Station Use: 5 light -duty vehicles operating within Western Riverside County
■ Daily Fuel Use: 12.5 diesel equivalent gallons
■ Vehicle Fuel Economy: 18 miles per equivalent gallon
E Vehicle Emissions: California, Ultra -Low Emission Vehicle certification
