Utah Technical Support Documentation Supplement 2003: Regional Haze State Implementation Plan

Updated November 12, 2003

The Western Regional Air Partnership has assembled technical support documentation for the inventory and modeling conducted by the WRAP for states submitting regional haze SIPs under 40 CFR 512.309. Utah is submitting that documentation to EPA on a compact disc, while also making it available on the WRAP Website. The Utah TSD Supplement includes materials that the State relied upon in writing its Regional Haze SIP and that are not included in the WRAP TSD. They are organized according to the order in which they are cited in the SIP.

The following lists the supporting documentation referenced in the Regional Haze SIP, as it pertains to Utah. Organized by SIP Part, the footnote or referencing page are listed first, followed by the link to the actual document.
