The Technical Analysis Workgroup is responsible for overseeing
the regional haze and fine particulate modeling that will be required for the
State Implementation Plans (SIP's). This workgroup provides both emissions
inventory and modeling technical support to VISTAS. Emissions Inventory efforts
include the development of emissions inventories and forecasts to be utilized
in VISTAS modeling efforts. Modeling efforts will include identification, evaluation,
and application of air quality modeling tools (including meteorological and
air quality models) to quantify the effects of emission management options
upon air quality in Class I areas in the VISTAS region.
