BackgroundBackgroundAlaska currently has Alaska currently has nono local local emissions information for smaller emissions information for smaller communities. communities. This includes 45 mid-sized This includes 45 mid-sized communities (pop. > 2,000 but communities (pop. > 2,000 but < 59,332) and 329 small < 59,332) and 329 small communities (pop. < 2,000). communities (pop. < 2,000). Roughly 57% of the state’s Roughly 57% of the state’s population lives in small population lives in small communities. communities. There is little organized There is little organized information for use in generating information for use in generating emission information. Some of emission information. Some of these communities are located these communities are located near Class 1 areas and will most near Class 1 areas and will most likely be affected by controls for likely be affected by controls for regional haze.regional haze.It is important to fill this data gap It is important to fill this data gap using as much local information as using as much local information as possible.possible.

Project PurposeProject Purpose •Improve emission estimates for rural areas in Alaska

-develop activity and emission estimates for 12-15 small and mid-sized “representative communities”

- extrapolate to develop better “county” level emission estimates
