Ariz. Admin. Code § R18-2-1420 - Criteria and Procedures: Motor Vehicle Emissions Budget (Project Not from a Plan and TIP)
A. The project
which is not from a conforming transportation plan and a conforming TIP shall
be consistent with the motor vehicle emissions budget in the applicable
implementation plan or implementation plan submission. This criterion applies
during the transitional period and the control strategy and maintenance
periods, except as provided in
R18-2-1436 . It is satisfied if
emissions from the implementation of the project, when considered with the
emissions from the projects in the conforming transportation plan and TIP and
all other regionally significant transportation projects expected in the area,
do not exceed the motor vehicle emissions budget in the applicable
implementation plan or implementation plan submission.
B. For areas with a conforming transportation
plan that meets the content requirements of
R18-2-1406(A):
1. This criterion may be satisfied without
additional regional analysis if the project is included in the conforming
transportation plan, even if it is not specifically included in the latest
conforming TIP. This requires a demonstration that all of the following apply:
a. Allocating funds to the project will not
delay the implementation of projects in the transportation plan or TIP which
are necessary to achieve the highway and transit system envisioned by the
transportation plan in each of its horizon years.
b. The project is not regionally significant
or is part of the specific highway or transit system envisioned in the
transportation plan's horizon years.
c. The design concept and scope of the
project is not significantly different from that described in the
transportation plan.
2.
If the requirements in subsection (B)(1) are not met, a regional emissions
analysis shall be performed as follows:
a. The
analysis methodology shall meet the requirements of
R18-2-1430.
b. The analysis shall estimate emissions from
the transportation system, including the proposed project and all other
regionally significant transportation projects expected in the nonattainment or
maintenance area in the time-frame of the transportation plan. The analysis
shall include emissions from all previously approved projects which were not
from a transportation plan and TIP.
c. The regional emissions analysis shall meet
the requirements of
R18-2-1418(B)(1),
R18-2-1418(B)(4)
and R18-2-1418(C).
C. For areas with a
transportation plan that does not meet the content requirements of
R18-2-1406(A), a
regional emissions analysis shall be performed for the project together with
the conforming TIP and all other regionally significant transportation projects
expected in the nonattainment or maintenance area. This criterion may be
satisfied if all of the following apply:
1.
The analysis methodology meets the requirements of
R18-2-1430(C).
2. The analysis estimates emissions from the
transportation system, including the proposed project, and all other regionally
significant transportation projects expected in the nonattainment or
maintenance area in the time-frame of the transportation plan.
3. The regional emissions analysis satisfies
the requirements of
R18-2-1418(B)(1),
R18-2-1418(B)(5),
and R18-2-1418(C).
