39 C H A P T E R 5 SIP Coordination Strategies and Best Practices Coordination between airport operators and air quality regulatory agencies is essential to ensure that airport-related emissions are appropriately and accurately accounted for in SIPs. Therefore, this chapter presents recommended approaches and best practices that these stakeholders can undertake to achieve this goal.

42 Guidebook for Preparing Airport Emissions Inventories for State Implementation Plans 5.2 Airport and Agency Coordination Best Practices As illustrated in Figure 5-1, both airport operators and air quality agencies share a common interest in managing air emissions within the communities they serve. In both cases, there are ample incentives and opportunities to advance this initiative by ensuring that airport-related emissions are properly accounted for in SIPs.

SIP Coordination Strategies and Best Practices 43 For example, in numerous instances, airport emissions were indistinguishable in the SIP's overall emissions budgets or were consolidated within the broad mobile source category with numerous other nonroad sources. In other cases, where airport-related emissions were identified, it was unclear which airports or airport sources were explicitly included.

Listed in Table 5-3, these topics span a spectrum ranging from airport-related emissions source ownership to how the airport emissions will be reported in the SIP.

SIP Coordination Strategies and Best Practices 45 5.2.5 Dispersion Modeling Although it is rare for airports to participate in air quality dispersion modeling efforts undertaken by state/local agencies preparing the SIP, occasions may arise in which airport involvement is advantageous. In this regard, airport staff may provide the agencies with airport-specific temporal and spatial data for the airport's emissions sources as input to regional air quality models including the Urban Airshed Model and Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling systems (see Chapter 4)
