Appendix A: Statement of Task

An ad hoc committee will conduct an independent review of the “Air Quality Modeling in the GOM Study.” The review will provide an overall critique of the study and address the following questions:

  1. Does the study meet its stated goals?
  2. Does the study accurately reflect the scientific literature? Are there any critical content areas missing from the study?
  3. Are the data inputs to modeling analyses reasonable, well documented and adequately supported by existing literature?
  4. Are the approaches to quantitative modeling reasonable and adequately supported by existing literature?
  5. Are the findings documented in a consistent, transparent and credible way?
  6. Is the study consistent with guidelines in Appendix W of 40 CFR part 51 (USEPA)?

Emissions associated with oil and gas exploration, development, and production on the Gulf waters can result in increased levels of air pollutants that contribute to a range of air quality impacts in the Gulf of Mexico Region (GOMR). “Criteria air pollutants”, such as carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide, are considered harmful to public health and the environment. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) manages the U.S. outer continental shelf oil and gas resources and is required to help manage air quality in the GOMR.

Review of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management “Air Quality Modeling in the Gulf of Mexico Region” Study reviews and provides feedback on the BOEM’s Air Quality Modeling in the Gulf of Mexico Region Study. This independent technical review of the study explores whether the study meets its goals, accurately reflects the scientific literature, uses reasonable data and modeling analyses, approaches quantitative modeling appropriately, documents findings in a consistent, transparent, and credible way, and aligns with necessary guidelines.
