Modeling Project

 The states of New Mexico and Colorado, with their partners, are working together on an inventory and modeling project for the Four Corners area. Prior to convening the Task Force in November 2005, the agencies identified the need for a more site specific inventory of the Four Corners as well as more robust modeling of mitigation scenarios. The results of this project will be used by the regulatory agencies to identify the most effective mitigation strategies and groups of strategies for implementation in the Four Corners area.

The final report is now available.

AIR QUALITY MODELING STUDY FOR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION [Final Revised Report – August 2009]

  • Note to Readers:  This report was originally prepared 30 June 2009. Upon subsequent review it was discovered that a figure in Section 4 summarizing the impacts of emission mitigation scenarios on the annual fourth highest 8-hour average ozone levels had been inadvertently mixed up with another similar figure depicting 1-hour average ozone impacts during the peak afternoon hour of a typical high ozone summer day (18 July). This error has been corrected in this revised version of the report. For the sake of clarity, figures for both the annual fourth highest 8-hour ozone impacts and the 18 July impacts are included in this revised version. Several minor typographical errors have also been corrected.
  • Errata Sheet [Jan 21, 2010]
  • Addendum [April 5, 2010]  (There was a typo on some of the OSAT time series plot y-axis labels in the addendum which indicated 8-hour averages to be 1-hour averages. Environ has corrected it along with making all plot scaling consistent [April 2010])
