2009 Ozone Season Ends with Question Mark 

  <http://www.acogok.org/enews/images/question.jpg> Another ozone season has
come and gone in Central Oklahoma. The region had what would be considered
an average year, with seven Clean Air Alert Days
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102811790485&s=612&e=0011JooimtYKPzh_PyJzwxqj00HL

N-aQcqnvCQg6AC1mQ==>  issued. Based on cumulative readings over the past
decade, the air is getting cleaner in Central Oklahoma. However, due to the
most recent, and proposed federal ozone standard, the relatively low
readings experienced this summer may still not be enough to keep the region
in compliance. 

On Sept. 16, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it
would reconsider the 2008 ozone standard
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102811790485&s=612&e=0011JooimtYKPyq1FVpTZCDvI-E7
h07cvH5us2UEPhVrDtLPcZg-fz_jwFw0wy58YpHpid6AnwBlMmTKRJoTkYJsTGenhCrRELo_sAKk
xkk6KqMlWzEWQ443fsDqyu3yUC_fyfGoIKi5M2fYUaQY0ZCXQ==> . EPA Administrator
Lisa P. Jackson said the agency will reconsider the ozone standard to ensure
that it is clearly grounded in science, will protect public health with an
adequate margin of safety, and that it is sufficient to protect the
environment. The ozone standards set in 2008 were not as protective as
recommended by EPA's panel of science advisors, the Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee.

As such, revisions to the rule will be proposed by December 2009 and
finalized by August of 2010. Right now, it appears the agency will not issue
designations until August 2011. 

Despite the fact that Central Oklahoma's ozone levels have decreased in the
past 10 years, adherence to the new federal standard will be very difficult
based on projections for 2010. In fact, our 2010 ozone readings will have to
be even lower than they were this year if the region is to remain in
compliance. 

As it stands now, based on the metro's 2007-09 readings, the Central
Oklahoma region would be considered in full attainment with the federal
rule. But the new proposed standard greatly complicates the matter. ACOG
will continue to monitor this issue.

Region Receives 9-1-1 System Upgrade Grant 

  <http://www.acogok.org/enews/images/911_acog.gif> In July, 9-1-1 ACOG
applied to the state of Oklahoma for a potential $700,000 in grant funds
that the state of Oklahoma was eligible for through the Federal 9-1-1
Office. These funds would be used to purchase a Next Generation 9-1-1 system
with abilities to receive 9-1-1 calls from "advanced technologies." The
9-1-1 Association (9-1-1 ACOG) was placed on a supplemental grantee list, in
that if the state of Oklahoma received more than the initial $700,000, 9-1-1
ACOG would be a recipient of at least some of the additional grant funds. 

On September 25, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S.
Department of Commerce, who administer the Federal 9-1-1 Office, announced
more than $40 million in grants to states, with Oklahoma receiving
$1,396,871 of those grant funds. The Central Oklahoma region is likely to
receive up to $400,000, which will be sub-awarded to 9-1-1 ACOG for upgrade
of the regional 9-1-1 system.

Fleet Conversion Grant Program Calls for Projects 

  <http://www.acogok.org/eNews/images/chevyvolt.jpg> ACOG has released a
request for projects for the second round of its public vehicle fleet
conversion program. The grant program is designed to reduce air pollution
and help public sector organizations implement the use of alternative fuels
for their vehicles. The Public Fleet Conversion Grants program will provide
local governments and school districts funds for fleet conversions to clean
fuel technologies. Other eligible projects include alternative fuel
vehicles, hybrid vehicles and alternative fuel vehicle refueling
infrastructure. 

The program is funded through Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
improvement funds provided by the Federal Highway Administration and the
Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

Only public-sector fleets are eligible to receive funds, including ACOG
member entity fleets, other local government fleets operated either
partially or wholly within the Oklahoma City Area Regional Transportation
Study (OCARTS) area, and public school bus fleets whose district boundaries
are contained partially or wholly within the OCARTS region. Public transit
fleets and/or their contractors are eligible to receive funds, but only for
non-transit vehicles and/or for alternative fuel infrastructure. Private
entities that contract services such as refuse hauling or school
transportation to OCARTS area-eligible entities can be considered for
funding. Federal, state, and fuel provider fleets covered under the Energy
Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992) are not eligible to receive funds. 

Eligible projects will be funded at a ratio of up to 50 percent federal
funds and 50 percent local funds for eligible project costs. A higher local
match is encouraged. 

A grant application workshop is scheduled for November 17 at ACOG. The
deadline for application submission is January 12, 2010, with grants awarded
in March. For more information, contact Yvonne Anderson
<mailto:yanderson at acogok.org> , ACOG. Download the application

General Services Department and UPS were recipients of the 2009 Zach D.
Taylor, Jr. Clean Cities Vision Awards for regional alternative fuels
leadership. One public sector award and one private sector award is given
each year. Today, the Oklahoma City General Services Department operates or
maintains a fleet of 57 dedicated compressed natural gas vehicles including
29 of its own, and 28 operated by other city departments. General Services
also purchases fuel for the city departments it serves and last year fueled
some 272 pieces of mobile equipment with B20-blend biodiesel. Biodiesel is
used in city owned light-duty diesel vehicles, heavy-duty trucks,
construction equipment, and forklifts. In the last year, UPS has deployed
125 new, clean-burning, CNG package vans in the Central Oklahoma region
replacing an equal number of older model, high-mileage, conventional fuel
delivery vehicles.

lauded for its "Birth of Community Cultural Venue - Heritage Park, The Amp
at the Park" by the Oklahoma Municipal League this fall. Under the project,
the city's Heritage Park was further developed to add an amphitheater to
provide a stage for arts and culture events. These additional improvements
to what was once simply a wasteland have allowed the park to become a place
where people of all ages, youth, adults, families with children and seniors
can enjoy a great time of sharing community events.
