support the plan with the most current information and tools. Other episodes may also indicate necessary revisions to ensure that sufficient emission reduction measures are selected and implemented to continue to achieve target ozone concentration levels. D. Control Strategies • After all adopted Federal and State controls that have been or will be implemented by the attainment date of December 31, 2007, are accounted for in the modeling, the local area will identify additional local controls, as necessary, to demonstrate attainment of the 8-hour standard on or before December 31, 2007. These local controls will be specific, quantified, permanent and enforceable control strategies. All controls will include specific implementation dates, as well as detailed documentation and reporting processes. • Controls will be implemented as soon as practicable, but not later than December 31, 2005. • Controls will be designed and implemented by the community with full stakeholder participation. • All control measures will be incorporated by the state into the State Implementation Plan and submitted to the EPA for review and approval. In the event that areas wish to add or substitute measures after SIP submittal, plan modifications will be treated as SIP revisions and facilitated by the state. E. Maintenance for Growth • The plan must include a component to address emissions growth at least 5 years beyond December 31, 2007, ensuring that the area will remain in attainment of the 8- hour standard during that period. This future attainment maintenance analysis may employ one or more of the following or any other appropriate techniques necessary to make such a demonstration: - Modeling analysis showing ozone levels below the 8-hour standard in 2012; - An annual review of growth (especially mobile and stationary source) to ensure control measures and growth assumptions are adequate; - Identification and quantification of federal, state, and/or local measures indicating sufficient reductions to offset growth estimates. • The plan must also detail a continuing planning process that includes modeling updates and modeling assumption verification (particularly growth assumptions). Modeling updates and planning processes must consider and evaluate: - all relevant actual new point sources; - impacts from potential new source growth; and - future transportation patterns and their impact on air quality in a manner that is consistent with the most current adopted Long Term Transportation Plan and most current trend and projections of local motor vehicle emissions. • If the review of growth demonstrates that adopted control measures are inadequate to address growth in emissions, additional measures will be added to the plan. Local planning processes should prepare for this possibility. F. Public Involvement • Public involvement will be conducted in all stages of the planning and implementation process. • Public education programs will be used to raise awareness regarding issues, opportunities for involvement in the planning process, implementation of control strategies, and any other issues important to the area.
