<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />DRAFT <br />02/21/02 <br />11 :30 am <br /> <br />DEIS Statement <br />. The impact on the Ozone Attainment Plan is stated as "2007 NOx and VOC <br />(Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions generated by terminal construction and <br />operations are included in the HGA (Houston-Galveston Non-attainment Area) <br />ozone attainment plan. Therefore, the impact on the region's plans to attain the <br />ozone standard is a long-term, less than significant adverse impact. <br /> <br />. Less than significant impact is represented by an increase in pollutant loading that <br />is incorporated into the HGA ozone attainment plan modeling and is not expected <br />to jeopardize the ability of the area to reach attainment by 2007. <br /> <br />. Significant impact is represented by an increase in pollutant loading tha(has not <br />been incorporated into the HGA ozone attainment plan modeling and may risk the <br />ability of the area to come into attainment. <br /> <br />. Emissions incorporated into the HGA ozone attainment plan modeling for the <br />terminal development in 2007 are: <br /> <br />. Vessels - 3 tons per day (tpd) of NO x and 0.076 tpd ofVOC; <br /> <br />. Non-road - 0.51 tpd of NO x and 0.26 tpd ofVOC; <br /> <br />. Construction - 0.07 tpd of NO x and 0.008 tpd ofVOC; <br /> <br />. Dredging - 0.24 tpd of NO x and 0.003 tpd ofVOC; and <br /> <br />. On-road - not identified specifically but accommodated for as <br />growth to the area. <br /> <br />. Emissions loading estimates past 2007 have not been evaluated. <br /> <br />Comment <br />~ What about impacts after 2007 (Less than 5 Years) when increased <br />operations and future expansions occur? <br /> <br />~ Vessels emissions - does the modeling include both trips to and from port <br />and while vessels are in port? <br /> <br />~ Emissions from railroad activity is not included (and currently not subject <br />to state regulations) <br /> <br />4 <br />
