12 <br />In summary, the current maintenance designation for ozone covers the following geographic areas: <br />• Durham County (also a maintenance azea for CO) <br />• Wake County (also a maintenance area for CO) <br />• Orange County <br />• Johnston County <br />• Franklin County <br />• Granville County <br />• Person County <br />• Baldwin, Center, New Hope and Williams Townships in Chatham County <br />The conformity determination is based on the following Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTPs) and <br />the 2009-15 TIPS, which are conforming subsets: <br />• 2035 Transportation Plan for the Capital Area MPO and 2009-1 S TIP <br />• 2035 Transportation Plan for the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro MPO and 2009-1 S TIP <br />• 2035 Transportation Plan for the Burlington-Graham MPO and 2009-15 TIP <br />• Projects from the 2009-1 S STIP in the rural ("donut ") areas outside of the MPOs <br />These three LRTPs, taken together, and with projects from the most recent STIP in the rural <br />("donut") azeas outside of the urban azeas, form in effect a Triangle Regional Transportation plan. <br />Each plan has three analysis years: 2015, 2025, and 2035. Each analysis yeaz includes expected <br />population and employment data and roadway and transit projects that should be open. The plans are <br />fiscally constrained; funding sources for roadway and transit projects are identified. <br />DENR prepared base and future emission rates for the vehicle fleet using MOBILE6.2. These rates <br />were applied to VMT from the Triangle Regional Model (TRM). Each of the counties (or, in the <br />case of Chatham County, portion of the county) has its own emissions budget. <br />Table 1 summarizes the conformity requirements of 40 CFR Part 51 and 93 and gives the status of <br />each long range transportation plan in relation to each of these requirements. Tables 2 through 9 <br />contain results from the budget comparisons for each of the applicable counties or county portions. <br />In every horizon year for every pollutant in .each geographic area, the. emissions expected from the <br />implementation of the long-range plans and TIPS aze less than the emissions budgets established in the <br />SIP or the baseline emissions where no SIP budget is available. Table 10 contains across-reference index <br />for the report. <br />Table 1.
