5 Colo. Code Regs. § 1001-14-V

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 24, December 25, 2024
Section 5 CCR 1001-14-V - Emission Budgets for Attainment/Maintenance Areas in the State of Colorado
V.A. Budgets
V.A.1. The following Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets shall be utilized to assess the conformity of Transportation Plans, TIPs, and where appropriate, Projects for the applicable periods and geographic areas indicated:

Denver Attainment/Maintenance Area (Modeling Domain)

PM10: 2015 through 2021: 54 tons/day; 2022 and beyond: 55 tons/day.

Nitrogen Oxides: 2015 through 2021: 70 tons/day; 2022 and beyond: 56 tons/day

Trading provisions: Trading of PM10 for NOx, or NOx for PM10 to adjust emission budgets for purposes of demonstrating transportation conformity shall be allowed using the emission trading formula as follows:

For trades necessary to increase a primary PM10 budget, 15.0 tons/day of NOx will be taken from the NOx budget to increase the primary PM10 budget by 1.0 tons/day, a ration of 15 to 1.

For trades necessary to increase a NOx budget, 1.0 tons/day of primary PM10 will be taken from the primary PM10 budget to increase the NOx budget by 12.0 tons/day, a ratio of 1 to 12.

Implementation of trading provisions: In the event the MPO cannot demonstrate consistency with the specific PM10 and NOx mobile source emission budgets, the trading provisions may be utilized only after the MPO has considered all reasonably available local control measures to meet the budgets. The MPO must demonstrate the need for trading through the usual consultation procedures for state implementation plan development delineated in Section IV (F) of AQCC Regulation Number 10, Criteria for Analysis of Conformity.

If trading is utilized, the MPO shall include the following information in the transportation conformity determination:

1) The budget for primary PM10 and NOx for each required year of the conformity determination, before trading is employed; (2) The portion of the original budget to be used to supplement a wanting budget, for each required year for the conformity determination; (3) The increased budget that results from trading, along with relevant calculations, and (4) the resulting primary PM10 and NOx budgets for each required year of the conformity demonstration.

The MPO shall then compare projected emissions to the adjusted PM10 and NOx motor vehicle emission budgets to demonstrate conformity.
