Conclusion: Along the U.S. west coast, springtime O3 has increased by ≈ 0.5 ppbv/yr, i.e. ≈10 ppbv in 20 years or ≈1-1.5 %/yr
Increasing background ozone during spring on the west coast of North America, Jaffe et al., Geophys. Res. Letters, 30, 2003
Springtime mean O3 levels have increased

Summary: In springtime
Impact of Asian Emissions on the Photochemistry of the North Pacific Troposphere
• Asian emissions have increased by ≈ 5% / year over last 20 years
• O3 levels in Eastern Pacific have increased by ≈ 1-1.5 % / year
• PAN levels in Eastern Pacific have increased by ≈ 3-4 % / year
• Pacific photochemistry has become less efficient sink for O3
Caveat: Based on very few “background” data of short time span. 1985 Pt. Arena data are only early PAN and VOC measurements collected over 10 day period

Expected Ozone Trends – Federal Emissions Reductions
• Heavy Duty Engine & Diesel Sulfur– Issued in 2001– Emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks and buses, plus
fuel sulfur limits– 95% less NOx emissions from category– Effective in model year 2006/07, phase in (09/10)
• NonRoad Engine & Diesel Sulfur – Proposed in 2003, Expected final in April 2004 – Emissions standards for construction, agricultural, and
industrial equipment– 90% less NOx emissions from category– Effective in model year 2008, phase in through 2014

Expected Ozone Trends – NonRoad Modeling Analyses
• 8-hour ozone levels are generally expected to decrease slightly in the Western U.S. over the next 10-25 years– Decrease of ~ 5%: Albuquerque, Denver, Phoenix,
Salt Lake City, Tucson, & rural areas– Larger decreases: Portland, Seattle – Model results uncertain (your results may vary)– Certain Western U.S. cities are likely to maintain
design values near/just below the NAAQS over the next 0-20 years w/o local control
• – will depend on year-to-year meteorological variability.

CMAQ Western U.S. Ozone Modeling – 1996 Application
• Model performance evaluation indicated greater negative bias in the western U.S. in the summer than in 36/12 CAMx
– Mean normalized bias = -11.7%– Normalized gross error = 23.2 %– East US (annual): bias = -1.2%; error
= 18.6%– West US (annual): bias = -26.5%;
error = 29.9%– East US (summer): bias = 0.8%;
error = 18.7%– West US (summer): bias = -27.0%;
error = 30.5%

2007 Emission Reduction Sensitivity Analysis
• Across-the-Board 10% reduction in anthropogenic emissions in DMA + Weld County (plus on-road and off-road reductions).
• Key Findings:– Modeled ozone stiff response to local emission
reductions (i.e., ozone not very responsive to local emission controls)
– VOC control in DMA is more effective than NOx control in DMA
• 10% VOC control in DMA results in 0.3-0.4 ppb ozone reduction at Rocky Flats North monitor
• 10% NOx control in DMA results in 0.4 ppb ozone increase at Rocky Flats North monitor
![Page 28: Western Ozone Conference](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56816034550346895dcf5450/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Denver Ozone Source Apportionment
• Source Apportionment results currently under review by State and Denver RAQC, report not yet available
• Preliminary results suggest the following:– A majority (~75% to 85%) of the peak 8-hour ozone
concentrations at the Rocky Flats monitor come from outside of the Denver Metropolitan Area (DMA)
– For sources in the DMA, on-road mobile sources are most important followed by non-road mobile sources
• Helps explain why modeling results are so stiff in response to local controls

Overall Conclusions Western US O3 Modeling
• Ozone downwind of smaller “urban” areas in western U.S. tends to be underestimated– Seen in recent EACs (CAMx) and Regional Visibility
modeling (CMAQ)– Regional buildup of ozone understated
• Contributing factors:– Missing emissions
• UCI Oil&Gas, many small unpermitted sources• Missing biogenic emissions/understated reactivity• Mobile Source fleet type different from national average
– Meteorological Modeling More Challenging

Conclusions• Future not clear/national view may need refinement • Many examples, but lack of regional understanding of:
– Background, natural, rural/urban, transport/local, regional, subregional-Elevated urban ozone not well synchronized with rural ozone
• Better analysis of existing situation needed• ID policy goals – attainment, maintenance,
transport/local, rural/urban, regional/subregional• Coordinate/leverage resources• High background levels – limited local control options

Recommendations
• Modeling– Biogenics, meteorology– One atmosphere model
• Monitoring – Work with existing data – Better collaboration– Better spatial coverage– Collect speciated VOC and NO

Recommendations (cont.)
• Early Action Compacts– Encourages proactive assessment/action-to identify/address
problems before they become nonattainment areas– Continue to make option available
• Forecasting – continue federal support• IAQR – understand effect on ozone• Oil and gas – getting better understanding of emissions• Fire/ozone
– Resolve fire/ozone episode relationship/documentation – Resolve monitor interference question
