Federal Land Managers' Air Quality Related Values Workgroup (FLAG) Phase I Report (December 2000)
USFS Air Quality Program, NPS Air Resources Division, USFWS Air Quality Branch. 2000. Federal Land Managers' Air Quality Related Values Workgroup (FLAG) Phase I Report (December 2000)
The Federal Land Managers' Air Quality Related Values Work Group (FLAG) was formed to develop a more consistent approach for the Federal Land Managers (FLMs) to evaluate air pollution effects on their resources. Of particular importance is the New Source Review (NSR) program, especially in the review of Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of air quality permit applications. This report describes the work accomplished in Phase I of the FLAG effort. That work includes identifying policies and processes common to the FLMs (herein called “commonalities”) and developing new policies and processes using readily available information. This report provides State permitting authorities and potential permit applicants a consistent and predictable process for assessing the impacts of new and existing sources on AQRVs, including a process to identify those AQRVs and potential adverse impacts. The report also discusses non-new source review considerations and managing emissions in Federal areas.
