1 CAMx-PSAT Source Apportionment Modeling Results Stationary Sources Joint Forum Salt Lake City, UT August 17, 2006

2 Source Apportionment Technique CAMx air quality model with PM Source Apportionment Technology (PSAT) PSAT being completed for 2 cases: Plan 2002c Base 2018b Tracks sources of sulfate and nitrate Tracking organic carbon too computationally intensive. However, data is available that delineates primary OC, from biogenic SOA, and anthropogenic SOA.

3 18 Source Regions on a 36 km Grid

4 Eight Source Categories ICON BCON PT MV ANF Natural NWF AR Initial conditions Boundary conditions Point sources Mobile sources WRAP anthropogenic fires WRAP natural fires and biogenics Elevated fires in other RPOs All other sources (non-elevated fires in other RPOs, area sources, offshore, oil & gas area sources, etc.) Examples of PSAT sources : MV_CO = mobile sources in Colorado PT_CE = point sorces in CENRAP BCON = transport from modeling domain boundaries (derived from GEOS-CHEM)

5 Status of Modeling Plan 2002c just completed Base 2018b to be completed by end of August Several months currently completed Results currently available for daily and monthly averages Results will be provided for 20% best and worst visibility days at each Class I area
