A
Well,
good
afternoon,
everybody
thank
you.
So
much
for
coming
out
got
a
great
turnout
here
today
appreciate
you
coming
and
welcome
to
today's
air
quality
briefing
and
press
conference.
As
you
can
tell
those
that
have
been
here
for
a
few
years,
we
changed
the
name
of
this
event
from
the
ozone
season
conference
because
it
just
became
so
much
more
than
ozone
and
the
kickoff
of
the
ozone
event.
We.
C
A
Laker
with
the
land
of
sky,
Regional,
Council
and
welcome
to
our
office
I
serve
as
a
coordinator
of
the
regional,
clean
air
campaign
and
also
the
coordinator
of
the
Landis
gotta
clean
vehicles
coalition
and,
as
many
of
you
know,
air
quality
has
been
an
issue
in
our
region
and
across
the
country
really
for
decades.
Air
pollution
can
impact
our
health,
my
environment,
in
the
heart
economy.
In
the
mid
90s
we
began
hearing
here,
Atlanta
sky.
We
began
hearing
about
air
quality
problems
in
the
southern
Appalachian
Mountains
and
we
were
kind
of
surprised.
A
We
were
not
aware
of
any
air
of
pollution
of
problems,
we've
been
working
on
pollution
problems
in
the
French,
Broad,
River
and
tributaries
and
working
on
recycling
program
and
since
all
the
waste
management,
a
lot
of
other
issues,
but
not
air
quality.
But
we
listened
to
the
experts
that
kind
of
sounded
that
alarm
and
we
conducted
an
assessment
with
some
funding
from
the
Z
Smith
Reynolds
foundation,
basically
talk
to
all
the
local
state
and
federal
and
utility
experts
and
others
on
what
are
other
one
of
problems.
A
A
A
Necessities,
but
we
went
from
a
situation
in
the
mid-to-late
90s,
where
we
were
right
on
the
brink
of
violating
the
federal
health
standards,
air
quality
health
standards
for
ozone
pollution
in
this
area,
and
so
to
a
point
now,
where
were
not
only
complying
with
the
standards
but
much
more
stringent
standards
than
we
had
20
years
ago.
The
standards
have
gotten
more
protective
of
Public
Health
and
that's
a
good
thing.
We're
meeting
this
you'll
hear
from
Mike
and
Ashley
and
others
today
about
what
is
the
current
situation.
A
So
that's
the
great
minute
is,
but
we
can't
become
complacent.
We
have
to
keep
working
at
this,
there's
still
a
lot
of
room
for
improvement
and
we
were
continuing
to
improve
and
many
areas
today.
Our
Asheville
metropolitan
area
is
growing
somewhat
rapidly.
It's
about
to
speed
up
again
and
with
all
this
growth.
A
So
we
have
to
keep
working
at
reducing
these
emissions
from
all
the
different
sources
to
as
much
as
we
can
that's
reasonable
cost
effective
and
continue
to
make
progress
and
make
sure
that
we
stay
in
compliance
and
also
not
only
complying
with
the
standards
but
keeping
the
air
clean
and
clear,
especially
clear.
That
was
a
big
issue
20
years
ago,
when
we
started
this,
there
was
a
lot
of
and
made
haze
reducing
the
visible.
Many
of
you
have
been
here
know
how
hazy
it
was,
especially
in
the
summertime.
A
It
was
really
bad
and
I've
noticed
the
last
couple
of
years.
Thursday's
in
July
and
August
are
just
crisp
crisp
clear.
So
it's
amazing.
It's
amazing
the
progress
that
we
made.
So
we
have
to
keep
doing
what
we
can.
We
got
to
reduce
our
energy
consumption,
find
cleaner
sources
and
power,
reduce
our
emissions
from
vehicles
and
equipment
and
keep
doing.
D
A
So
at
this
point,
I
want
to
thank
our
event:
sponsors,
the
Western,
North
Carolina,
regional
air
quality
agency,
the
North
Carolina
Division
air
quality
and
the
land
of
sky
Regional
Council
will
clean
air
a
painfully
beautiful
coalition.
I
also
want
to
thank
vulcan
county
TV
earlier
today
for
taping
the
event
they
will
be
conducting
some
interviews
with
our
key
speakers
in
another
room,
and
a
lot
of
that
will
be
on
their
website,
probably
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
I'll
be
watching
for
a
notice
from
us.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
media.
A
B
A
B
E
E
Of
our
other
local
partners,
we
have
David
and
Ashley
here
from
the
Western
North
Carolina
local
program.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
partnerships.
We
have
Katie
and
Amy
here
from
the
Eastern
Band
of
Cherokees.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
partnerships,
our
staff,
here
from
of
the
Asheville
Regional
Office,
and
the
division
of
air
quality,
Brendon
and
Keith
great
great
to
have
you
here
today.
We've
got
assistant
secretary
Holman
with
us
today
as
well.
E
Let
the
emission
reductions
that
are
working
and
again
all
areas
of
the
state
are
designated
as
attainment
and
in
compliance
with
the
national
ambient
air
quality
standards,
so
great
job
to
everyone,
and
thank
you
for
your
support
for
attaining
that
goal.
So,
let's,
let's
look
at
some
of
that
success
and
just
take
a
look
blue
by
pollutant.
C
E
E
C
E
That
in
the
counties
shaded
in
a
little
darker
green,
especially
here,
Mecklenburg
County
of
the
Charlotte
area
right
at
70.
So
it's
just
on
the
good
side
of
the
line,
but
on
the
good
side
of
the
line,
71
wouldn't
be
so
good
75
and
we'll
talk
about
some
of
our
additional
efforts
that
will
focus
on
maybe
getting
a
little
breathing.
F
E
To
speak
in
that
area
list
it
another
way
to
look
at
the
success
for
ozone
again.
The
similar
trace
over
many
decades
relative
to
the
old
standards
in
the
green
trace
and
the
eight-hour
standard,
which
is
the
current
form
of
the
standard
which
has
been
strengthened
over
from
97
to
2008
and
then
to
2015.
If
you
look
at
statewide
average
ozone
concentrations
relative
to
the
standard,
you
see
that
we're
even
we're
meeting
this
more
stringent
standard
of
70
parts
per
billion,
ounce,
statewide
and.
G
E
E
We
are
13
percent,
on
average
below
the
level
of
standard
statewide,
another
way
to
examine
and
look
and
reflect
on
some
of
our
success.
We'll
take
a
look
at
some
of
the
fine
particle
data
and
it
will
zoom
in
in
this
case
to
Western
North
Carolina
data,
again
similar
type
of
what
we
call
design
I'm.
B
E
E
Per
cubic
meter
annual
standard
for
fine
particles
again
at
a
mix
of
our
our
mostly
low
elevation
sites
here
in
Western,
North,
Carolina,
so
great
news,
and
so
what
what
do
lower
fine
particle
concentrations
mean
other
than
benefits
to
public
health.
Well,
it
means
that
success
looks
like
this
in
the
summer
and
trust
me
that
picture
is
way
more
clear
than
what
projector
leads
you
to
believe
here.
It's
not
hazy
at
all.
It's
crystal
clear
and
this.
This
is
basically
the
norm
now
during
the
summer
and
not
the
exception
and.
E
This
was
the
exception,
these
clear,
crystal
clear
days
in
the
mountains,
where
we're
able
to
enjoy
some
of
North
Carolina's
best
natural
treasures.
Now
you
can
see
the
peaks
beyond
the
peak.
You
know
the
range
beyond
the
nearby
range
on
most
summer
days,
and
so
that's
what
success
looks
like
when
we
reduce
pollution.
E
C
E
H
E
It's
some
of
the
precursors,
those
fine
particles,
are
formed
through
complex
interactions
in
the
atmosphere,
and
so
we
look
at
sulfur
dioxide
emissions
being
one
of
the
main
culprits
that
form
with
those
fine
particles,
and
you
can
see
the
dramatic
drop-off
in
silver
dioxide
emissions
again
a
couple
hundred
thousand
tons
less
over
the
last
say
decade
or
so.
You
see
a
little
bit
of
structure
to
this
data
as
well.
Right
you're,
probably
wondering
why
these
spikes
here
right,
alright!
E
E
C
B
E
The
shift
in
the
makeup
of
the
NOx
emissions
over
time,
which
is
again,
makes
a
lot
of
sense
about
what
we
know
about,
say:
the
power
sector
right.
The
power
sector
has
transformed,
over
the
past
two
decades
in
North,
Carolina,
going
from
heavily
heavily
reliant
on
coal
and
looking
at
other
alternatives
and
we'll
focus
on
that
on
the
next
slide.
E
But
again
you
see
now,
while
there's
far
less
NOx
in
the
emissions
profile
in
North
Carolina
today
about
half
of
it
comes
from
on-road
mobile
sources,
and
so
that's
probably
an
area
of
particular
focus
in
in
the
urban
areas.
Where
I'll
say
we
don't
have
that
margin
that
we
have
in
other
areas
of
the
state.
E
In
North
Carolina
in
2002
versus
2016
and
you'll
note
what
I
think
there's
one
important
piece
to
note
here
is
a
net
generation.
The
North
Carolina
increased
during
this
time
period
by
over
just
over
five
percent,
but
you
see
the
incredible
transformation
of
our
electric
generating
sector
North
Carolina
over
this
time
period,
right
away
from
some
of
the
higher
emitting
fuel
types
to
lower
emitting
fuel
types
and
a
significant
investment
in
solar,
I
included.
E
Here
this
nine
percent
other
slice
on
the
right
and
and
that
number
continues
to
go
up-
and
this
number
continues
to
go
down.
If
we
can
plot
this
for
2017,
that
would
be
it
continues
to
go
in
that
direction.
So
again,
there
were
a
lot
of
reasons
for
this.
It
wasn't
just
air
quality
regulations.
It
certainly
was
not
just
air
quality
regulations.
There
were.
E
To
speak
to
all
the
programs
that
we
worked
on,
namely
the
fuel
prices
where
natural
gas
became
much
more
affordable
fuel
and
cost-effective
fuel
for
electric
generation
for
the
electric
generating
sector
over
time.
So
again
it
all,
it
all
adds
up,
and
it
makes
quite
a
bit
as
a
sense.
So
if
we
take
a
look
at
the
on-road
mobile
sector,
which
I
mentioned
and
noted
earlier,
it
now
represents
about
50%
of
the
nitrogen
oxide
emissions.
Today,.
B
C
E
We're
going
in
the
future,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
some
structure
to
the
data
here,
notwithstanding
the
little
structure
of
the
data
here.
That
was
due
to
a
modeling
change
over
time,
but
you
can
kind
of
see
when
different
motor
vehicle
engine
standards
kicked
in
over
time
and
kind
of
that
stair
stepping
down
of
the
data
right
and
of
the
emissions
over
time.
E
Vehicles
into
the
fleet
replacing
older,
dirtier
vehicles
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
these
knobs
numbers
go
down.
In
fact,
there's
some
speculation
that
further
downward
trend
of
a
NOx
emissions
that
may
the
slope
may
be
even
more
steep
going
out
toward
2025,
then
shown
here
based
on
some
of
the
latest
data.
E
E
So
I
mentioned
in
some
of
our
urban
areas
and
especially
in
Charlotte,
where
we're
just
kind
of
dancing
around
the
level
of
the
standard
again
just
below
the
standard
in
the
Charlotte
area.
One
thing
that
we're
working
on
and
we're
just
getting
started
with
our
partners
in
the
Mecklenburg
County
local
air
program
is
something
that's
going
to
be
called
breathing
room,
which
I
think
is
an
appropriate
descriptor
of
what
we're
aiming
to
do.
E
E
We're
very
excited
about
getting
this
going
later
this
year
again
with
our
local
partners
in
the
Mecklenburg
County
local
program,
kudos
to
Wesley
Rhodes
and
her
staff
for
really
kind
of
branding
this
in
that
way,
I
think
it's
a
pretty
clever
way
to
get
folks
attention
and
I
know
expecting
some
great
things
and
with
that
partnership
moving
forward,
but
I
expect
it
will
be
expanding.
Such
efforts
across
the
state
as
time
and
resources
allow
in
the
coming
months
and
into
next
year.
E
So,
as
we
have
probably
talked
about
every
year
for
the
last
20
or
so
in
terms
of
ozone
and
things
that
you
can
do
and
pay
attention
to,
and
obviously
in
Western
North
Carolina,
we
don't
have
as
many
bad
ozone
days,
thankfully
any
longer,
but
we
continue
to
provide
this
service,
which
is
an
air
quality
forecasts
for
different
regions
of
the
state.
So
it's
a
forecast
for
the
next
days,
air
quality.
We
get
that
out
by
three
o'clock
every
afternoon
to
help
inform
those
that
especially
those
that
are
unusually
sensitive
to
air
pollution.
E
F
E
C
E
E
C
E
E
E
C
E
The
settlement
agreement
called
an
environmental
mitigation,
trust
that
is
focused
on
mitigating
the
excess
NOx
emissions
that
occurred
due
to
the
defeat
devices
that
were
installed
on
certain
vehicles,
and
so
North
Carolina
and
all
states
were
allocated
an
amount
based
on
the
population
of
offending
Volkswagen
vehicles
that
were
registered
in
the
state.
At
the
time
of.
C
E
E
E
On
a
specific
set
and
of
narrow
categories
to
mitigate
some
of
the
excess
NOx
emissions
that
might
have
occurred,
and
so
the
North
Carolina
Department
of
Environmental
Quality
and
our
division,
the
division
of
air
quality
was
designated
by
the
governor
last
November
as
the
lead
beneficiary
for
this
environmental
mitigation
trust
and
so
starting
actually
tonight
we're
launching
a
series
of
stakeholder
meetings
to
discuss
a
preliminary
phase.
One
plan
for
how
the
first
stage
of
the
distribution
of
these
funds
might
look
like
what
a
might
look
like
in
North
Carolina.
So
we
have
a
proposal.
E
That's
out
for
public
comment
right
now.
It
can
be
found
at
some
of
the
links
shown
here
on
the
screen
and
we're
taking
comment
on
that
through
May
3rd.
So
it's
about
a
45-day
comment,
period
of
time
that
we
released
it
and-
and
we
are
taking
most
of
the
comments
via
email
from
all
interested
parties
and
we're
holding
a
series
of
stakeholder
meetings
again
starting
tonight
in
this
room.
You
have
the
land
of
sky
offices
but
manin.
E
That
are
involved
in
this,
so
there's
a
whole
another
about
45
minutes
worth
of
stuff,
we'll
go
over
tonight
and
have
a
good
good
dialogue
with
the
folks
of
the
tents.
So
if
you're
interested
I
encourage
you
to
to
stop
by
again
this
evening,
if
you're
not
able
to
again
your
written
comments
to
the
email
address,
there
are
just
as
meaningful
to
this.
So.
E
We'll
be
working
forward
working
on
over
the
coming
year
or
two
for
the
phase,
one
funding
I'm
anticipating
at
this
point
we
would
have
a
final
plan
for
phase
one
sometime
this
summer,
possibly
a
request
for
proposals
for
the
first
third
of
the
30
million,
possibly
by
fall,
and
then
looking
at
probably
the
first
Awards
being
sometime
in
2019.
So
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
timeline
we're
all
alright
and
then
it
might
be
none
this
afternoon,
I
thought.
E
E
There
have
been
a
few
articles
out
there
on
this
topic
right
and
again
what
started
in
June
of
2017,
with
the
publication
of
an
article
finding
that
an
emerging
contaminants,
Gen
X,
was
found
in
the
raw
and
finished
drinking
water
systems
in
the
Lower
Cape
Fear
region.
Our
department
has
been
fully
engaged
on
this
issue
and
it's
kind
of
evolved
over
time
from
a
discharge
into
the
Cape
Fear
River
issue
to
a
ground
water
issue
and
now
an
error
component.
E
E
It's
a
compound
that
we
have
very
little
data
on
and
very
little
literature
on
in
terms
of
how
they
behave
in
the
environment.
We
have
little
known,
or
there
is
little
known
about
their
effects
on
human
health
and
really
impacts
in
the
environment,
and
that
right
there
alone
represents
a
significant
challenge
for
a
regulatory
agency
in
terms
of
okay.
How
do
you
prioritize
these
compounds,
ease
the
emerging
contaminants
and
who
does
the
research
and
then,
ultimately,
how
do
you
minimize
the
impacts?
E
B
E
Barely
but
really
liking
to
say
that
much
in
public
anymore,
but
in
this
case
Gen
X
is
a
nickname
for
compound
and
called
the
c3
dimer
acid
or
there's
its
chemical
formula.
Again.
It's
a
trade
name
for
a
particular
chemical
used
in
the
manufacturing
of
nonstick
coatings
and
for
other
purposes,
and
and
it's
been
linked
to
a
facility
along
the
Cape
Fear
River,
the
chemours
facility,
formerly
DuPont,
just
south
of
Fayetteville.
They.
F
E
X
it
is,
it
is
a
battery
and
all
of
these
emerging
contaminants
that
we're
talking
about
is
P
fast
compounds.
Are
they
bad
for
you
and
again
when,
when
you
don't
have
a
national
regulatory
standard,
you
don't
have
a
state
standard
established
through
our
management
commission.
You
don't
have
any
health
advisories,
either
issued
by
CDC
or
EPA,
and
there's
really
not
much
other
guidance
available
from
any
other
entity.
E
E
This
this
number
is
being
studied
further
and
the
impact
of
ingesting
that
compound
in
drinking
water
is
being
studied
further
by
our
Secretary's
Science
Advisory
Board,
and
so
that
that's
part
of
the
ongoing
investigation
on
this
topic.
But
on
this
particular
issue
again,
as
I
said,
it
evolved
and
started
with
investigations
of
surface
water.
It
evolved
into
groundwater
contamination
on
the
Camorra
site,
some
of
that
ground
water.
Some
of
those
wells
were
that
had
gen-x
in
them.
At
some
level
were
they
were
up
gradient
of
typical
groundwater
flows,
and
so
the
question
became
well.
E
E
Of
typical
groundwater
flows,
and
then
the
question
was:
how
did
it
get
there
and
the
answer
and
the
Hollis's
has
been
well,
it's
most
likely
atmospheric
deposition.
When
you
look
at
the
facility
property,
here's
black
blue
amoeba
2,200,
acre
property.
There
was
a
facility
there
in
the
center.
The
shading
here
shows
all
the
residential
water
drinking
wells.
E
E
You
start
seeing
a
little
bit
of
an
orientation
of
Southwest
to
Northeast
in
terms
of
some
of
the
higher
values
and
again
that
aligns
with
some
of
the
predominant
wind
flows
in
the
region.
So
that's
something:
we've
been
taking
a
closer
look
at
and
we've
modeled
it
we're
collecting
a
lot
of
data
and
essentially
to
sum.
C
C
C
B
E
Stack
testing
for
this
compound
done
before
so
we're
doing
some
of
some
things
that
are
kind
of
the
first
of
its
kind
type
of
measurements
in
terms
of
stack
testing,
a
method
had
to
be
developed,
we're
on
the
verge
of
having
some
data
summarize
from
some
early
stock
tests,
or
earlier
this
year.
My
horse
contractor
there's
not
a
good
way
to
sample
this
in
ambient
air.
There
are
no
methods
for
that.
E
B
E
E
C
E
What's
technically
feasible
to
control
this
stuff,
despite
there
not
being
a
standard,
a
rule
that
applies
what
can
destroy
or
substantially
eliminate
a
lot
of
these
emissions
to
get
it
out
of
the
environment,
and
so
we're
taking
a
very
close
look
at
that,
ultimately,
putting
all
these
pieces
together
to
let
the
science
and
data
drive
some
informed
decision-making
on
on.
What's
next.
E
So
what's
next
in
terms
of
our
a
diversity
and
emerging
contaminants,
more
broadly
and
I'll
say
that
this
experience
and
the
Lower
Cape
Fear
has
made
us
rethink
a
lot
of
things
in
the
air
quality
realm
I'd
say
when
I
became
director
in
early
2017.
The
emerging
contaminants
was
not
something
that
was
front
and
center
on
our.
E
Asking
ourselves
did
we
have
the
right
equipment
just
to
be
able
to
monitor
and
do
surveillance
of
these
many
of
these
emerging
contaminants?
The
lab
methods
have
evolved
over
time
that
allow
us
to
see
things
and
much
smaller
concentrations
that
we
couldn't
see
before,
and
so
how
do
you
prioritize?
What
to
look
at
first.
E
E
B
E
With
you,
because
I
figured
you're
probably
curious,
even
though
it's
not
been
a
story
and
you're
part
of
the
state
and
just
kind
of
just
tee
it
up,
and
let
you
know
that
we're
working
very
hard
to
resolve
that
issue
in
the
eastern
part
of
the
state.
But
I
don't
want
that
to
put
a
damper
on
the
first
two-thirds
of
the
presentation,
which
again
was
really.
C
Good
afternoon,
it's
great
to
see
such
a
turnout
here
today.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
for
air
quality,
update,
appreciate
all
of
our
partners,
the
division
of
air
quality
and
DEQ,
and
land
of
sky
and
clean
air,
clean
vehicles,
coalitions
and
all
the
media
partners,
city
of
Asheville,
the
county,
and
it's
great
to
see
the
folks
from
Cherokee
here
as
well.
I
have
some
similar
sides
to
my
can
update
with.
What's
going
on
here
locally,
we
have
some
monitoring
data
to
show
you
as
well,
and
some
other
things
that
we
have
going
on.
C
The
Western,
North
Carolina
regional
air
quality
agency
is
one
of
the
three
local
programs
here
in
North
Carolina.
We
have
a
mod
during
program
and
also
implement
the
air
quality
regulations
here
in
our
area.
This
is
just
a
list
of
our
responsibilities:
implementing
the
federal
state
and
local
air
pollution
regulations,
monitoring.
We
do
the
asbestos
removal
and
demolition
renovation
permits
in
Buncombe,
County
city
of
Asheville
and
in
in
addition
to
education,
outreach
here
in
the
mountains.
We
do
have
some
unique
conditions
that
we
think
contribute
to
our
air
pollution
issues.
C
C
Have
a
couple
slides
about
the
history
of
our
agency.
It's
actually
an
outgrowth
of
a
smoke
abatement
program
that
the
city
of
Asheville
started
back
in
1947
and
there
are
a
lot
of
these
local
air
agencies.
There's
14,
in
fact,
in
the
eight
state
region
of
EPA
Region,
four
that
started
out
early
on
in
cities
that
were
heavily
populated,
loved,
uncontrolled
coal
burning
sources
that
generated
interest
about
air
pollution
way
back
then.
So
there
was
actually
a
regional
program
formed
back
in
1967
with
Henderson,
Transylvania,
Haywood
and
Buncombe
counties.
C
C
So
our
graphs
for
our
ozone
and
fine
particle
monitors
that
we
run
here,
look
very
similar
to
what
Mike
was
showing
with
the
state.
We
have
a
very
significant
downward
trend
and
we're
very
very
happy
with
the
improvements
we've
seen
in
air
quality
over
the
last
several
years.
This
is
the
ground-level
ozone
at
the
Buncombe
County
site,
and
this
is
the
fine
particulate
matter,
data
which
is
also
trending
downward.
Significantly.
C
These
are
just
our
AQI
values.
You
can
see
that
most
of
the
time
we're
in
the
code
GREEN
and
code
yellow
range.
We
did
have
several
days
back
in
2016
with
the
wildfires,
where
we
had
some
code
orange
and
code
red
days.
I.
Think
one
of
these
code
orange
days
was
actually
a
ground-level
ozone
action
day,
but
all
the
rest
were
fine
particle
exceedences
with
the
with
the
wildfires.
C
So
we
do
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
know
the
code
check
the
division
of
air
quality's
website
for
the
forecast.
You
may
have
noticed
recently.
They've
changed
the
name
of
the
forecast
area
used
to
be
the
actual
valleys
and
ridge
tops,
and
now
they've
changed
the
name
to
the
mountain
valleys
and
Ridge
tots
to
more
accurately
reflect.
But
these
are
more
regional
forecasts
that
factor
in
several
different
monitors
in
our
area.
C
So
again,
this
is
the
air
quality
code
that
hopefully
you're
familiar
with,
and
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
back
when
we
were
having
the
wildfires
in
2016,
we
had
a
lot
of
really
specific
questions
from
citizens
about
the
code
and
when
you
look
at
the
code,
it's
somewhat
general
but
APA
also
has
these
outdoor
activity
guides
and
the
activity
guide
for
particle
pollution.
I
apologize.
C
You
can't
read
the
details
of
it
here,
but
it
does
get
into
a
lot
of
detail
about
spending
time
outdoors
and
you
know,
there's
language
in
there
for
the
different
levels
that
it's
okay
to
spend
some
time
outside.
But
you
need
to
take
more
frequent
breaks.
It
gives
examples
and
types
of
symptoms
that
you
might
experience
that
you
should
be
on
the
lookout
for,
and
these
were
helpful
when
we
were
getting
a
lot
of
questions
from
citizens
about
specifically
what
is
it
okay
to
go
outside
and
do
and
what
should
I
not
be
doing?
C
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
these
are
out
there
and
just
some
other
updates
about
our
agency.
We
are
currently
located
in
downtown
Asheville
and
we
have
two
offices.
The
asbestos
demolition
and
renovation
permit
office
is
at
the
county
building
permit
office
on
Valley
Street
and
our
main
office
is
on
Cox.
Avenue
I
also
wanted
to
share
that.
We
do
have
some
data
from
the
sulfur
dioxide
monitor
that
has
been
located
near
the
Duke
Energy
plant.
We
do
have
a
full
year
of
data
from
2017.
C
Now
this
one
something
we've
been
concerned
about
with
the
new
sulfur
dioxide
standard,
the
fact
that
we
did
not
have
data
from
the
area
near
the
plant.
These
monitors
are
typically
located
near
the
larger
sources
of
sulfur
dioxide,
because
it's
a
1-hour
standard
and
it's
more
of
a
it-
can
be
localized
to
those
areas.
So
this
monitor
has
been
running
up
on
Brown
mountain
since
January
of
2017
and
currently
of
one
year.
C
These
are
just
some
additional
slides
about
the
sulfur
dioxide
requirements.
I
put
those
in
there
because
we've
had
a
lot
of
questions,
but
I'm
not
planning
to
go
through
these
in
detail,
but
can
certainly
try
to
answer
questions
if
you
have
them
and
just
wanted
to
close
to
remind
everybody.
I
always
like
to
remind
everybody
about
radon
being
the
second
leading
cause
of
lung
cancer
in
the
US
and
Buncombe
County
and
Henderson
also
has
some
of
the
highest
levels
here
in
the
state.
A
Next,
we're
gonna
hear
from
Duke
Energy
about
a
smarter
and
cleaner
energy
future
for
Western
North
Carolina,
all
the
things
that
they're
doing
and
have
been
the
works.
There's
some
exciting
initiatives
going
on
right
now
and
with
us.
We
have
Jason
Wallace
district
manager,
Community
Relations
government
relations
wears.
C
A
Of
hats
here,
local
in
Asheville,
and
also
laying
Reynolds
who's,
the
electric
transportation
manager
for
Duke
Energy
works
in
many
different
states
throughout
the
dude
territory
and
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
started
to
work
with
him
over
the
last
year
and
we've
got
some
things
in
the
works
for
later
on.
And
so
folks
I
appreciate
you
being
here.
K
K
H
K
C
K
K
I
moved
here
five
years
ago,
five
years
now,
when
I
moved
here,
this
is
where
we
were
storing
coal
ash
for
the
operation
of
the
planet.
This
is
the
old
coal
ash
base
which
is
being
excavated
as
we
speak,
and
this
is
where
the
ash
was
excavated
and
taken
to
the
airport
to
create
40
acres
of
aeronautical
developable
land.
Well,
today,
you
look
right
here.
This
used
to
be
a
dam
that
was
over
100
feet
tall.
Now,
it's
a
big
flat
area
of
dirt
and
we
are
building
a
pile
of
fan
base.
K
This
picture
was
taken
on
January
6th
of
this
year.
We
have
pictures
taken
once
a
quarter,
so
they're
actually
flying
next
week,
and
you
will
see
steel
authority
fanatic
coming
out
of
the
ground
and
the
concrete
is
being
poured
here
is,
is
just
downright
oppressive
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
things
happening.
K
I
bring
this
up
because,
when
you
think
about
the
young
inner
transformation
of
the
electric
generating
sector
that
Mike
mentioned
in
his
presentation,
which
I'm
glad
that
he
did
because
really
think
back
in
2002,
the
passage
of
the
Clean
smokestacks
Act
was
a
transformational
moment
in
time
for
North
Carolina.
It
is
what
really
set
us
on
a
path
to
to
cleaner
air
in
this
state,
and
it's
been
exciting
to
be
part
of
that.
K
K
Okay,
we're
actually
going
to
be
putting
solar
over
the
property
once
the
plant
is
retired.
That
would
probably
be
in
the
2022
timeframe
once
they're,
all
the
equipment
and
things
been
removed,
but
it'll
be
a
if
there
will
be
a
very,
very
large
solar
farm,
as
well
as
a
utility
scale
battery,
that's
still
being
sized
right
now,
but
it
would
be
a
very
large
bag
and.
K
So
a
lot
of
things
that
will
address
your
address
frequency
regulation.
It
will
address
a
lot
of
interest,
actual
benefits.
This
would
be
a
loss,
so
we
are
we
committed
right,
so
we
committed
as
part
of
the
Western
Carolina's
modernization
project
to
five
megawatts
of
battery
storage
in
15
megawatts
of
solar.
We
have
already
announced
during
the
process
of
planning,
for
nineteen
megawatts
of
solar
I
mean
its
storage,
so
we're
already
well
ahead
of
that
to
help
address
some
of
the
challenges.
K
So,
over
the
last
two
years,
there's
been
a
group
that
was
convened
by
the
city
of
actual
Buncombe,
County
and
Duke
Energy
to
really
pull
together
and
start
to
study
how
our
community
uses
electricity
and
what
we
can
do
to
chart
a
cleaner
energy
future
and
so
out
of
that
two
years
of
work.
We
now
know
more
about
how
our
customers
use
electricity
than
ever
before.
Knowing
how
customers
use
electricity
means
that
you
can
now
plan
on
how
they
can
use
less
electricity
and
create
cleaner
energy
future
for
your
region.
K
The
cola
nation
of
that
work
has
resulted
in
the
Blue
Horizons
project.
Jonathan
got
in
the
back
we're
sitting
very
quietly.
Mr.
Burley
is
a
part
of
the
team
who's
actually
implementing
the
Blue,
Horizon
Project
know
a
lot
of
great
stuff.
Blue
Rock
project
is
a.
We
call
it
a
brand.
It's
really
a
movement
or
a
place
for
the
people
across
this
community
to
connect
around
ways
to.
B
K
Energy,
better
energy,
efficient,
behaviors,
the
leverage
programs,
not
just
Duke
Energy
programs,
but
other
community-based
programs,
and
really
chart
setting
the
core
for
a
clean
energy
features
a
tagline.
The
goal
is
to
really
in
most
public
support
and
provide
easy
access
to
resources
that
allow
everyone
be
part
of
this
movement
across
our
community.
So.
B
B
F
K
K
So
imagine
fidelity
is
standing
here,
looking
off
into
the
future
about
what
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
do
and
how
we're
trying
to
connect
with
our
customers
in
a
way
to
deliver
things
that
they
actually
want,
so
that
we
are
listening
to
them
to
deliver
the
products
and
services
via
the
infrastructure
for
electric
vehicles,
battery
storage
micro
grids,
more
solar.
What
are
those
smart
meters
that
I
can
control
that
energy
use?
So
that's
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
looking
out
of
the
future
and
trying
to
plan.
K
So,
if
you
think
about
our
new
climate
report,
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
kind
of
to
kind
of
bring
that
report
together
kind
of
the
table
of
contents,
but
only
two
slides.
This
will
just
take
a
minute
we're
going
to
continue
our
fleet
modernization
by
2030.
The
company
expects
more
than
80%
of
its
generation
makes
it
come
from
zero
to
lower
co2
emitting
sources.
That's
important
because
that
includes
nuclear
natural
gas
and
other
renewables
continued
investment
in
our
newly
released,
so
our
nuclear
fleet
is
aging.
So
in
2017
this
you
know
our
mission.
K
Three
nuclear
operations
will
be
aging,
so
one
of
the
19th
year
in
a
row
that
is
exceed
exceeded,
90%
capacity
factor
capacity
factor
is
easy.
When
you
need
it
is
it
available
and
their
nuclear
fleet,
they
have
maintained
over
90
percent
capacity
back
we're
also
evaluating
the
possibility
to
distending
those
nuclear
operating
environments
so
span
renewables
in
that
gas
invest
eleven
billion
dollars
between
17
and
26
in
new
infrastructure,
modernizing
the
electric
electric
grid.
B
K
K
The
company
expects
to
culminate
energy
savings
of
those
big
numbers
which
is
equivalent
to
the
annual
usage
of
1.8
million
homes.
This
is
this
is
key
and
don't
like
it.
If
you're
a
scientist,
an
engineer,
a
mathematician
you're
not
allowed
to
ask
me
any
details
on
this,
you
have
to
go,
read
it
for
yourself,
because
I'm,
not
one
of
those
people
and
I,
was
reading
the
first
time.
K
B
K
So
again,
this
is
the
first
time
that
we
have
looked
at.
So
what
are
some
of
those?
What
are
some
of
the
causal
effects
of
the
effect
of
our
actions?
So
what
if
we
limited
to
two
degrees
increase?
What
do
we?
How
do
we
need
to
plan?
So
maybe
it's
not
far
enough
and
some
people's
mind,
but
the
company
is
thinking
about
it
in
those
terms,
which
is
a
significant
milestone
in
our
history.
K
So
it's
exciting
times
this
report
has
been
posted
online
posted
on
Friday
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
there
really
and
read
it
because
it's
got
a
lot
of
great
information.
I
took
a
lot
longer
than
five
minutes
playing
I'm
sorry
I
took
pain,
maybe
more
seven,
and
so
with
that
I'm
not
going
to
take
a
lot
of
questions
unless
Bill
wants
me
to
take,
maybe
to
take
two
questions
and
then
Wang
need
to
get
up
here
and
talk.
We
kind
of
planned
independent
presentation,
because
his
is
cooler
tomorrow.
C
D
K
G
Here
we
are
so
you're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
electric
transportation
and
Spell
mentioned
I'm,
the
manager
of
the
electric
transportation
program
for
Duke
Energy,
so
across
all
six
of
our
service
territory.
States
but
I'm,
based
here
in
North
Carolina
in
Charlotte
and
I
like
to
compare
to
Asheville
as
much
as
I
can
so
just
drove
up
here
in
the
EB
today.
Anybody.
G
G
Looking
at
the
electric
transportation
market,
so
I'm
gonna
talk
about
the
market
a
little
bit.
What
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
trends
I'm
also
going
to
talk
about
just
electric
transportation
in
general.
Why
are
we
working
on
it
as
a
company?
Aside
from
the
fact
that
we're
an
electric
company
and
then
also
some
specifics
about
the
programs
here
in
North,
Carolina
and
also
other
programs
that
were
operating
right
now,
so
the.
G
G
Just
your
light
duty
vehicles,
your
small
cars
like
Leafs
and
bolts,
and
you
know
little
economy,
cars.
Now
we've
got
SUVs.
We've
got
plug
in
BMWs
like
this
Volvo
Mercedes
I
also
have
plug
in
at
TVs
we're
seeing
trucks
and
vans
Nissan's
doing
a
band.
We've
got
trucks
from
Excel
and
also
a
workhorse.
It's
coming
out
later
this
year
and
then
in
the
heavy-duty
space
we've
got
transit
buses,
school
buses
are
coming
on
the
market
as
well.
We
saw
that
market
expand
from
just
one
company,
which
is
based
out
of
Canada.
G
G
I'm
here
in
Asheville
that
committed
to
buying
some
buses
with
the
transit
agency,
which
is
really
exciting
and
we're
seeing
these
all
over
our
service
territory.
We
had
them
first
in
South
Carolina,
because
Proterra
is
based
in
Greenville,
so
sénéchaux
is
actually
the
first
first
city
in
the
country
to
have
an
all-electric
bus
fleet
and
and
after
that,
a
bunch
of
other
transit
agencies
throughout
the
Carolinas
have
committed
to
purchasing
some
of
these
on.
G
C
G
You
know
some
of
these.
You
might
hear
about
later
you're
sticking
around
for
the
BW
settlement
briefing
later
this
evening
that
non
right
side
of
things
is
also
an
opportunity
for
funding
through
the
vbeq
settlement.
So
you
know
just
looking
at
the
market,
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
vehicles
and
and
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
of
the
market
that
could
be
electrified
looking
out
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
F
G
C
B
G
Is
due
to
battery
price
declines?
So
since
2010
prices
are
down
about
80
percent
over
the
course
of
the
last
eight
years,
pretty
impressive
there
and
and
that's
driving
a
lot
of
the
sales
growth,
it's
pretty
interesting.
You
know
a
lot
of
people
thought
with
gas
prices
crashing
in
20
late
2014
going
in
2015.
People
thought
that
EB
sales
would
tank.
Really
the
opposite
has
happened.
G
Amia
sales
have
really
taken
off
in
2016,
sales
were
up,
60%,
I,
believe
over
15
and
then,
like
I,
said
twenty
percent
twenty
five
years
ago
in
seventeen
over
over
the
previous
year.
So
you
know,
we've
seen
the
opposite
from
what
was
expected
in
terms
of
the
coupling
with
gas
price,
the
gas
price
trend
and-
and
that's
really
because
what
I
mentioned
with
these
these
proliferation
of
models.
So
if.
B
G
B
G
It's
pretty
good
in
terms
of
the
trend
it's
going
up
into
the
right.
That's
that's
what
you
want
to
see.
That's
what
I
see
with
my
stocks
to
you
hopefully,
but
you
know,
the
the
market
share
is
still
a
little
bit
lower
than
than
the
US
average.
So
if
you
look
at
other
places
in
the
US
there's
a
lot
of
policies
like
zero
emission
vehicle
MOU,
which
number
of
states
operate
under
and
then
you've
also
got
a
lot
of
California
policies
which
have
been
driving
the
market
in
those
areas.
So
we.
C
G
Punitive
measures
when
it
comes
to
registration
fees
and
things
like
that,
so
it's
a
pretty
level
playing
field
right
now,
although
it
would
be
nice
if
there
was
a
little
bit
more
support
for
EVs
and
Evi
adoption
at
the
state
level.
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
can
see
the
numbers
here,
but
it's
about
9,000
EVs
now
on
the
roads
latest
update
at
the
end
of
2017,
alright,
so
thinking
more
broadly
about
why
we're
working
on
this
and
what
are
the
implications
of
Greater
EB
adoption?
You
know
there's.
G
Good
for
the
economy
and
they're
good
for
the
environment,
good
for
the
air,
so
one
of
the
things
that
hasn't
or
wasn't
really
established
a
few
years
ago
is
whether
or
not
these
would
be
good
or
bad
for
the
grid.
And
if
you
have
all
these
large
vehicles
coming
on,
is
that
gonna
crash
the
grid?
But
you
can
have
to
build
a
bunch
more
power
plants.
Well,
a
number.
G
Graphs
are
probably
a
little
bit
hard
to
read,
but
basically,
what
it
shows
is
that
eby's
are
good
for
the
grid
and
the
incremental
revenue
from
EB
charging
actually
has
a
downward
pressure
on
rates
effect
in
terms
of
of
the
electric
rates.
So
when
you
look
at
the
revenue
from
EBS
and
you
look
at
the
costs
to
serve
the
EVs
and
over
here,
the
red
is
a
generation
yellow
its
transmission
and
in
orange
its
capacity.
So
this
costs
are
less
than
the
the
revenue
coming
in
from
from
from
eby's.
So
in
a
regulating.
G
We
operate
here
in
the
Carolinas.
The
effect
of
this
over
the
long
term
is
that
it
keeps
a
downward
pressure
on
rates
on
the
right
hand,
side.
This
is
just
a
sighted
from
California
that
shows
some
different
scenarios
and
what
the
net
benefit
from
each
of
the
yokel
is
value,
alright,
so
good
for
the
economy.
How
does
this
work
now?
Eby's
cost
less
to
operate
than
traditional
vehicles,
most.
G
Cost
some
of
its
and
maintenance
costs,
but
we
see
consumer
saving
about
a
thousand
dollars
a
year
when
you
switch
to
a
TV.
This
is
the
fuel
price
over
time
and
you
can
see
that
electric
fuel
as
a
transportation
fuel
is
much
cheaper
than
gasoline.
It's
about
half
the
cost
right
now
in
North,
Carolina
and
nationally.
G
This
actually
a
chart
is
a
little
bit
dated
already
prices
gas
price
to
come
down,
but
even
here
in
the
Carolinas,
where
gas,
it's
pretty
cheap
electricity
is
still
less
than
half
the
cost
of
gasoline
on
a
per
gallon
equivalent
basis.
It's
about
ninety
cents,
a
gallon.
If
you
look
at
our
rates
versus
gasoline,
so.
G
Consumer
can
expect
to
save
and
and
that's
money
that
stays
here-
it
doesn't
go
out
of
state
to
Texas
or
Saudi
Arabia.
It
stays
here
in
North
Carolina
chances
are,
it
gets
Rhys
pent
in
the
economy
and
that
it
acts
as
a
stimulating
effect
on
the
economy.
So
it's
good
for
the
good
for
the
economy
as
well.
Environmental
benefits.
This
is
another
question
that
we
got
a
lot
a
few
years
ago.
You
know
if.
G
G
G
The
country
again,
here's
some
numbers
I
might
be
too
small
to
read.
But
if
you
look
in
the
Carolinas,
it's
a
75
mile
per
gallon,
equivalent
Midwest
in
the
50s
New
York.
You
know
some
of
the
areas
up
here,
looking
even
better
with
with
all
their
hydropower
that
they
import
from
Canada.
So
pretty
interesting.
Basically,
eby's
are
cleaner.
You
know
on
every
grid,
every
section
of
the
u.s.
at
west
also
pretty
high
miles
per
gallon
equivalent.
These.
G
Emissions,
so
this
takes
battery,
you
know
manufacturing
all
the
manufacturing
into
account
on
a
lifecycle
basis.
You
know
everything
well,
how
does
that
compare
to
a
gasoline
car?
So
if
you
think
about
actually
just
local
emissions,
it's
even
it's
much
better
than
this.
It's
quite
a
bit
better
than
a
75
mile
per
gallon
car
in
the
Carolinas.
F
G
The
time
of
day,
when
the
target
occurs
also
has
a
lot
to
do
with
this
Carolina's.
A
lot
of
the
overnight
power
is
emissions
free
nuclear.
So,
if
you're
charging
car
overnight,
it
could
be
essentially
the
missions
free
all
right.
The
emissions
benefits
you
know
like
Jason
was
saying:
if
you
look
at
that
pie
chart
this
is
essentially
the
pie
chart
over
time
on
the
NOx
side
of
things.
The
blue
bar
down
here
is:
there's
electric
generating
units
purple.
G
G
B
G
Side
back
in
2016
transportation
sector
eclipsed
electric
generation
nationally
in
terms
of
co2
emissions,
so
transportation
has
been
increasing
in
co2
emissions
since
since
the
90s,
and
even
earlier
really,
while
the
electric
sector
we've
decreased
emissions
by
30
percent,
I
believe
now
it
is
from
2005
levels,
which
is
you
know,
pretty
significant
accomplishment.
So
all
this
to
say,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
potential
on
the
transportation
side
of
things
and
switching
to
electric
is
really
the
best
way
to
do
that.
So
I
wanted
to
spend
some
time
talking
about
a
couple
of
the
programs.
G
G
Buses
and
also
truck
stop
electrification
and
the
whole
full
funding
was
three
million
dollars.
It's
all
been
allocated,
but
not
everything
has
been
installed
yet
we've
got.
This
is
the
map
of
the
charging
stations,
so
this
is
probably
a
little
bit
hard
to
see
as
well,
but
the
the
green
stations
are
the
ones
that
will
be
funded
by
it's
our
program.
The
warrant
are
the
existing
ones.
If,
if
you
can.
G
This
is
a
picture
from
last
week
at
the
UNC,
Asheville
got
a
couple
of
stations
there
that
were
installed,
and
these
are
just
some
numbers
that
show
the
results
of
what's
been.
What's
been
installed
so
far,
so
we
had
four
hundred
ninety
applications,
which
was
a
lot
more
than
we
could
fund
with
the
with
the
funds
that
we
had
available
at
the
time.
So
we
we
awarded
two
hundred
stations,
the
average.
G
Cost
of
these
stations
was
seventy
six
hundred
dollars,
that's
actually
better
than
what
we
were
anticipating
there
anticipate
somewhere
around
ten
thousand
dollars
station,
and
so
the
target
was
to
do
a
fifty
percent
cost
share
at
five
thousand
dollars,
but
as
you
can
see,
they're
coming
in
less
than
that,
and
so
the
average
funded
cost
it's
a
bit
less
than
less
than
five
thousand
dollars.
So
positive.
G
G
G
B
G
G
2016,
which
is
really
pretty
incredible
and-
and
they
also
have
seen
a
lot
of
cost
savings
from
that
deployment,
so
they're
sitting
at
about
27
cents
a
mile.
This
is
the
their
electric
I'm
sorry,
this
is
electric
up
here
in
terms
of
miles
per
gallon
equivalent-
and
this
is
the
diesel
gallon
efficiency
right
here
about
four
miles
per
gallon.
So
the
efficiency
is
about
four
times
as
high
with
the
electric
buses
and
and
they're
running
less
than
half
the
cost
per
mile
scene
about
$50,000
per
year
annual
savings.
G
G
G
They're
they're
still
more
expensive
to
buy
upfront
right
now,
there's
about
a
two
hundred
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollar
premium,
and
then
the
charging
infrastructure
is
also
expensive
so
over
the
life
of
the
bus.
We
expect
about
a
two
hundred
to
two
hundred
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollar
savings
net
of
that
upfront
cost.
But
it
is,
you
know,
that's
something
that
we're
trying
to
determine
how
to
you
know
how
to
put
together
funding
for
these
buses
in
order
to
reduce
that
upfront
capital
barrier.
G
So
this
is
another
program
that
we
just
announced
in
Florida
and
I
just
want
to
touch
on
this
because
we're
pretty
proud
of
this.
It's
the
largest
utility
edie
infrastructure
program
in
the
southeast,
and
you
know
something
that
we
we'd
like
to
model
in
other
areas.
You
know
would
be
great
to
do
something
like
this
in
North
Carolina
or
we're
looking
at
how
to
how
to
do
it
and
how
to
get
something
like
this
approved
with
the
regulations
as
they
stand.
Right
now,
so
face
some
challenges
to
doing
this
here.
B
G
Segments
we're
doing
about
500
stations
of
level
2
charging
stations
and
then
30
stations
of
DC
fast
charging
if
you're
not
familiar
with
with
EB
charging
level.
2
is
basically
your
your
long
haul
or
your
long
dwell
time
charging
if
you're
gonna
be
somewhere
for
a
few
hours
or
overnight
at
home.
So
you
can
use
level
2
DC
fast
charging
is
more
like
a
gas
pump
with
a
you
know:
high
amount
of
power
in
a
short
period
of
time,
but
it's
still
a
little
bit
longer
somewhere
in
the
20
to
30
minute
range.
J
G
Yeah,
so
that
that's
you
know
like
your
Tesla
superchargers,
those
are
DC
fast
chargers
and
then
you
might
also
see
some
of
those
around
from
Eve
ego
or
Electrify
America.
It's
also
gonna
be
rolling
those
out
as
as
another
part
of
the
BW
settlement,
that's
separate
from
the
state
mitigation
trust
so
all
together.
G
Know
if
you
look
at
the
landscape
there
there's
a
lot
of
highway.
You
can't
really
drive
from
Orlando
to
Tallahassee,
for
example,
with
with
regular
EB
right
now,
almost
Tesla,
so
the
goal
is
to
really
fill
in
that
map
and
enable
cross
state
travel.
We're
also
doing
a
ten
percent
of
the
stations
in
disadvantaged
communities.
You
know
that's
one
of
the
things
that
utility
can
bring
to
the
table.
G
Down
there,
with
vsta
and
and
looking
at
how
we
can
expand
transit
bus
electrification,
they're
looking
at
getting
a
couple
of
PSA's
and
so
we're
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
them.
There
all.
A
Right,
Brigitte,
Brazil
and
I
are
going
to
take
some
time
to
talk
about
efforts
to
reduce
emissions
from
motor
in
the
greater
Asheville
area
and
I'm,
going
to
start
off
and
tell
you
quite
a
bit
about
what
we're
doing
with
all
of
our
stakeholders.
Many
of
the
folks
newsroom
their
stakeholders
and
our
clean
vehicles
coalition
we're
all
working
together
to
produce
petroleum
use
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
other
air
pollutants
and,
in
some
cases,
savings
and
fleets
and
individuals.
Money
and
becoming
more
energy
secure
in
this
country.
A
By
getting
off
for
foreign
oil
I
want
to
recognize
the
other
members
of
our
team
I
serve
as
the
coordinator
of
the
land
of
sky,
clean
vehicles
coalition.
I'd
say
more
about
that
in
a
minute
that
organization,
Chris,
Dobbins
Chris,
wake
again
in
the
back.
A
critical
member
of
our
team
Chris
was
the
fleet
manager
for
the
city
of
Asheville
for
many
years,
and
he
was
our
region's
champion
as
far
as
using
alternative
fuels
and
the
best
technology
vehicles
were
built.
A
Three
years
ago,
Richie
works
in
our
transportation
planning
program
near
Atlanta
sky,
and
is
our
transportation
demand
management
coordinator
and
he's
going
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time,
telling
you
about
his
program
to
try
to
get
people
out
of
vehicles
and
walking
and
biking
and
using
fan,
poles
and
and
other
methods
to
reduce
patrolling
use
and
save
on
emissions.
So
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
vehicles
coalition.
A
We
form
the
clean
vehicles
coalition
in
2004,
and
one
of
our
goals
was
to
become
a
part
of
a
national
program
of
the
US
Department
of
Energy
called
clean
cities
that
had
been
in
place
for
a
number
of
years.
They
had
already
designated
a
lot
of
the
dots
on
this
US
map
on
the
left
there
Atlanta
and
Miami,
and
Los
Angeles
in
New,
York
and
Chicago,
of
course,
but
they'd
also
designated
the
Charlotte
region
and
the
Triangle
region.
A
A
Some
of
the
things
that
we
do
here
locally
most
of
the
coalition's
around
the
country
do
the
same
thing.
We
do
a
lot
of
education,
outreach
and
some
training
the
training
that
we've
done.
It's
been
in
partnership
with
Blue
Ridge
community
college
Joe
raise
your
hand
with
the
automotive
program
there.
We
did
some
training
for
first
responders
years
ago,
because
we
got
all
these
new
fuels
and
technologies
on
the
roadmap
and
that
they
need
to
know
about
it.
How
to
how
to
cut
people
out
of
vehicles
safely.
They
have
rescue
them.
C
A
C
A
Their
project,
so
that's
that's
what
we
do
we're,
also
very
popular
for
helping
them,
find
a
state
and
federal
grants
and
and
other
incentives
like
the
Duke
Energy
incentive
for
charging
stations
that
was
mentioned
earlier,
I
think
about
thirteen
million
dollars.
We've
helped
our
stakeholders
bring
in
since
we
got
started,
and
then
we
also
recognize
our
stake
holders
for
the
good
work
that
they're
doing.
We
nominate
them
for
awards.
B
A
Of
the
Clean
Cities
program
of
tue,
we
have
a
partnership
with
motor
Bleek
television
and
in
interest
the
time
I'm
not
going
to
show
that
that
clip.
But
it's
called
clean
city
success
stories
that
about
a
minute
long,
and
so
we
recommend
different
fleets
that
are
doing
great
work
here
locally,
like
Asheville,
Henderson,
County,
Andersonville,
bright
fields,
transportation,
solutions,
Biltmore,
Estate
and
all
of
those
that
I
just
mentioned
and
have
been
featured
in
these
national
television
programs.
So
go
to
motorWeek
TV.
Look
at
green
motoring.
You'll
see
a
link
for
that.
B
A
Alternative
fuels
in
technologies
that
are
part
of
the
Clean
Cities
portfolio,
the
alternative
fuels
listed
there
on
the
left
by
these
electricity,
natural
gas,
propane,
ethanol
and
hydrogen,
are
kind
of
the
traditional
alternative
fuels.
They
were
identified
at
the
Energy
Policy
Act
that
set
up
this
Clean
Cities
program
and
said
some
national
goals.
A
That
was
the
initial
focus
of
the
program
is,
is
try
to
get
fleets
to
consider
switching
from
gasoline
and
diesel
to
any
of
these
alternative
fuels
and
the
first
floor
there,
if
you
can
tell
it's
in
blue
or
kind
of
the
ones
that
we've
been
focusing
most
of
our
attention
on
ethanol,
that
has
not
been
a
lot
of
interest
in
85
ethanol
in
this
particular
area
and
hydrogen.
We
just
haven't
really
had
access
to
Hydra
she'll
sell
vehicles,
but
they
are
coming.
They
are
coming.
A
A
The
initial
part
of
the
program
are
focused,
and
then
they
expanded
the
portfolio
of
the
program
you
several
years
ago
to
include
some
of
the
other
things
that
you
see
all
right.
These
are
some
of
the
benefits
of
these
fuels
and
technologies.
We've
talked
about.
Some
of
these
fuels
are
cheaper,
lower
maintenance,
so
there's.
F
C
B
A
Our
stakeholders,
the
fleet's
in
honor
in
our
region
that
are
reporting
to
us.
This
doesn't
really
take
account
and
you
know
what
other
non
reporting
fleet
or
the
public
is
really
doing,
but
you
can
see
the
incremental
growth
there
when
we
started
this
program
back
in
2004,
there
are
only
a
couple
of
entities:
metropolitan
Sewer,
District
and
Nashville-
maybe
a
couple
of
others
that
were
using
any
of
these
fuels
and
technologies.
And
now
there
are
many
many
others
they're
part
of
it.
A
A
So
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
are
promoting
when
Clean
Cities
expanded
their
portfolio
beyond
this,
just
the
traditional
fuels
and
technologies
said:
let's,
let's
promote
all
these
other
things.
Let's
encourage
people
to
get
out
of
their
cars
all
together
and
walk,
and
by
transit
and
telecommuting,
vanpool
and
just.
A
More
fuel-efficient
vehicles-
you
don't
have
to
go
to
an
alternative
fuel
or
advanced
technology
vehicle,
just
find
a
more
efficient
diesel
or
gasoline
vehicle
and
highlighted
at
the
bottom
fuel
economy.
Gov
is
the
official
federal
website
over
its
lab
over
Tennessee
developed.
That
maintains
that
that
is
an
excellent
resource
for
the
media.
Anybody
that
wants
to
compare
vehicles,
side
by
side
looking
at
the
fuel
economy
and
the
cost
and
emissions
reduction
and
features
it's
a
it's
a
wonderful
tool.
A
A
You
can
get
them
from
Keith
upfront
here
you
can
get
them
from
me,
actually
probably
have
some,
and
we
would
glad
to
get
those
out
to
you,
the
state,
the
local
agency
and
our
organization
kind
of
partnering
over
the
years
to
get
these
posted,
especially
at
schools,
and
you
can
see
the
number
of
schools
over
the
last
so
many
years.
Last
couple
of
years
have
been
did
not
the
charter
of
private
schools
and
then
the
Smokies
created
their
own
really
attractive
sign.
You
can
see
there
on
the
lower
right.
It's
part
of
a
program.
A
C
A
A
A
On-Site
there
was
a
grant
that
you
get
that
grant
yep.
You
got
this
bed
grant
to
allow
them
to
set
up
a
biodiesel
production
facility
in
one
of
their
garages,
and
we
got
to
go
over
and
see
that
and
they're
getting
the
the
used
vegetable
all
from
Harrah's
Casino
in
their
restaurants.
So
it's
a
great
cooperative
over
there
and
using
it
in
all
their
diesel
vehicles,
so
great
job.
Of
course,
the
Biltmore
Estate,
you
probably
heard,
has
been
growing
canola
making
they're.
A
Using
it
in
their
fleet,
okay,
propane
autogas,
another
domestic,
cleaner,
burning,
gaseous
fuel-
it's
been
around
for
a
long
time.
It's
the
the
most
used
alternative
fuel
in
the
world,
and
it's
really
growing
and
use
here
in
this
country,
especially
in
particular
fleets
like
shuttle
fleets
and
that
sort
of
thing
you
can
see
some
of
the
success
stories
that
we
have
here.
Mountains
ability,
my
mobility
and
the
other
Haywood
jets
and
making
community
transit
systems.
That's
a
really
perfect
fit
they're
just
running
those
puzzles
all
day.
A
Long
people,
hospital
of
doctors
and
putting
a
lot
of
miles
on
them
and
propane
is
a
really
a
great
fit
for
that.
I've
built
more
state
using
a
lot
and
then,
of
course,
Waynesville
that
I
mentioned
earlier
they've
retrofitted
a
lot
of
their
police
cruisers
in
recent
years,
and
we
have
a
blossoming
research
technology
center
here
in
town
and
last
year
we
implemented
the
southeast
alternative
fuel
demonstration
project
on
its
ad,
and
we
offered
propane
autocast
vehicles
that
we.
A
Drove
and
Jessica
mentioned
to
me
with
the
one
on
Sodor
gas
bridge
man
just
recently
that
some
of
those
vehicles
are
still
available.
If
you
would
like
to
test
drive
those
for
a
couple
of
days.
At
a
time,
press
natural
gas
also
has
been
very
popular
in
our
area,
especially
with
the
fleets
you
kind
of
see
listed
down
at
the
bottom.
That's
the
city
of
Asheville
station,
two
chris
bollyn
who's
helped
build
number
years
ago
and
for
the
size
of
the
actual
metro
area.
We
have
a
large
number
of
public
access
on
natural
gas
stations.
B
A
Then
about
2009,
we
started
hearing
about
the
rollout
of
these
plug-in
electric
vehicles,
these
high
speed,
plug-in
electric
vehicles,
the
Nissan
Leaf
and
the
Chevy
Volt
and
others
that
were
coming,
and
basically
the
word
got
out
that
they're
coming
and
you
better
get
ready
for
it.
You
better
get
your
communities
and
your
states
ready
for
this
and
getting
ready
includes
working
together
to
put
in
a
network
of
public
access
access
charging
stations.
Most
the
charge
is
going
to
be
done
at
home
at
night.
A
It's
more
convenient
cheaper,
but
to
make
people
more
comfortable
with
switching
over
to
this
new
technology,
there's
the
need
to
put
in
public
access
charging
and
to
allow
people
to
travel
from
one
community
region
to
another.
So
we
we
started
an
effort
to
do
that.
So
one
thing
that
I
I
want
to
always
stress
is
the
different
type
of
electric
drive
vehicles,
you're
all
familiar
with
the
gas
electric
hybrids
that
don't
plug
in
the
Toyota
Prius,
there's
just
dozens
of
em.
Now
you
know
all
over
the
road
in
Asheville
in
the
surrounding
area.
A
A
long
time,
they're
great
vehicles,
a
great
fuel
economy,
you
know
fifty
miles
a
calendar
war,
but
these
plug-in
vehicles
have
come
on
the
market
and
these
are
the
two
that
are
that
kind
of
were
first
released
and
they're
still
very
popular.
So
there's
really
two
different
types:
you've
got
the
all
battery
electric
vehicles
on
the
right
of
the
Nissan
Leaf.
They
only
have
electric
motor
in
a
battery.
There's
no
gas
there's
no
engine.
They
only
run
on
electric
there's,
no
tail
pipe
emissions.
Because
of
that
the.
B
A
Specially
when
you
count
the
$7,500
federal
tax
credit
that
you
can
get
or
you
can
get
a
really
great
late
police
deal
from
Nissan
anybody
here,
at
least
of
the
vehicle
okay
I
know.
Some
people
have
taken
advantage
of
that
so
battery,
only
better
electric,
only
kind
of
somewhere
in
between
the
gas
electric
hybrids
in
the
electric
car,
the
plug-in
hybrids.
It's
just
like
a
gas
electric
Prius,
but
it's
got
a
bigger
battery
and
to
to
allow
to
run
further
on
electric
and
it's
got
plug-in
capability.
A
J
Those
who
might
be
interested
I
Drive
a
lead
but
I
also
good
by
2018,
behind
a
clarity
new
model
that
just
came
on
the
market
about
two
and
a
half
months
ago
and
I
drove
it
today.
It's
plugged
in
out
here
for
anybody
who'd
like
to
see
it.
It
does
47
miles
on
the
battery
and
coke
range
of
about
340
miles.
I've
got
about
a
thousand
miles
on
it.
The
first
71
were
on
gas
because
the
dealer
had
plugged
it
in
and.
B
A
A
A
A
A
Increasing
the
number
here
locally,
we're
asked
to
make
about
700
I
didn't
get
the
exact
breakdown
by
county,
so
I
think
you
that's
pretty
close.
I
know
there's
like
at
least
500
plugin
people,
just
in
Buncombe,
County
alone,
so
we're
esterday,
that's
700,
registered
vehicles
and
they're
available
through
the
dealerships
you
know
in
the
early
days
they
were
hard
to
find
hard
to
get.
You
had
to
wait.
A
Wars
ready
partner-
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
other
partners
that
we
have-
we
have
ten
times
this
many
I
can't
get
them
all
on
the
slide.
So
you
can
see
where
we
are.
We
just
updated.
Our
numbers
Chris
keeps
a
database
of
the
charging
stations
in
our
area,
both
public
exits
and
private,
and
we've
got
83
charging
stations
or
locations
in
the
six
County
area
roughly
around
Asheville,
and
they
have
about
190
charging
a
litter
for
courts.
A
So
we've
grown
that
we
collectively
have
grown
that
that
network
and
but
we
still
have
a
lot
of
gaps.
We
only
have
one
location
in
Madison,
County
we've
got
a
couple
in
Haywood
number
in
Henderson
couple
in
Transylvania
County,
thanks
3-3.
Now,
thanks
to
Jim
Hardy's
effort
and
his
determination
to
get
some
out
there,
we've
still
got
a
lot
of
gaps
and
one
gap.
We
have
our
Western
North
Carolina.
We
have
plans
and
we
want
to
bring
all
those
people
from
Atlanta
up
here
with
all
the
money.
A
We
have
7
DC
charters
at
those
locations,
8
super
chargers,
Tesla
super
targets
at
the
Asheville
and
all
its
just
this
past
year,
a
few
level
twos
have
gone
in
at
about
I,
think
three
or
four
Ingalls
stores
across
the
region.
Weaverville
Candler,
Waynesville
Ingalls,
is
putting
in
level
2
chargers.
They
don't
want
all
of
their
their
new
stores
very
participate
in
this.
A
number.
B
A
Hotels
are
starting
to
put
in
level
2
as
well,
and
Western
Carolina
put
in
a
solar,
integrated
charging
station
last
fall
and
then
the
Duke
money
that
was
available
to
organizations
throughout
the
state.
I
think
Lane.
You
said
about
200
recipients,
and
we
had
a
number
here
that
you
can
see.
Unca
just
had
a
ribbon-cutting
on
there
the
other
day
so.
C
A
Starting
to
fill
in
those
gaps
and
Lane
mentioned
this
a
couple
of
times,
we
assisted
the
Asheville
Transit
Authority,
with
federal
transportation
administration
grant.
Last
year
they
received
six
hundred
thousand-plus
to
order
some
electric
buses
and
they
have
ordered
five
Proterra
battery
electric
buses
manufactured
in
Greenville
and
should
get
those
around
the
end
of
this
year
and
we'll
be
putting
in
charging
infrastructure,
be
the
slower
charging
in
charging
stations
at
the
bus
garage
and
they
do
have
additional
buses
that
they
won't
convert
to
electric
make
Spears.
So
that's
pretty
exciting,
so
future
activities
for
us.
A
We
have
spent
a
lot
of
time,
the
last
two
years
following
the
Volkswagens
settlement
and
the
development
of
that
and
the
implementation
of
that
and
we're
excited
about
it.
We
were
excited
number
of
years
ago
when
it
was
the
stimulus-
and
you
know,
there's
an
infusion
of
money.
This
is
much
bigger
than
the
stimulus,
and
so
we're
real
excited
about
this.
As
Mike
said,
ninety-two
million
dollars
available
to
North
Carolina
to
to
repower
or
replace
with
new
clean
diesel.
A
Excuse
me:
Clean
Diesel
is
an
option:
propane
CNG
gas
or
diesel,
electric
hybrids
or
pure
electric
or
plug-in
hybrids,
and
hydrogen.
It's
also
elevator-
and
this
is
the
this-
is
that
environmental
mitigation
trust
that
might
talk
about
earlier
they're
looking
to
replace
the
older
diesel
vehicles.
Okay,
so
it's
got
to
be
pre
2010
to
qualify.
Okay,
those
are
the
dirtier
diesels.
So
that's
the
objective
of
this
they're
trying
to
reduce
the
NOx
emissions.
As
he
said,
that's
the
targeted
fleet
right
there
that
are
going
after.
J
A
Older
Diesel's
want
to
get
them
off
the
road
you
have
to
destroy
them.
Basically,
there
there
are
parts
still
that
you
can
recycle.
Another
focus
is
medium
and
heavy-duty
transit.
There's
no
money
in
here
for
light
duty
vehicles,
okay
in
the
environmental
mitigation
trust,
but
medium
and
heavy-duty
transit
buses,
shuttle,
buses
and
school
buses
are
eligible
into
the
settlement
and
medium
and
heavy-duty.
What's
called
local
freight
trucks.
A
This
is
just
another
part
of
the
settlement.
We
won't
really
go
into
there's
an
organization
called
Electrify
America
that
VW
set
up
and
there
they're
putting
in
some
charging
stations
doing
outreach
from
a
national
level.
The
other
thing
that
we've
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
in
the
last
two
years
and
will
them
again
this
year-
is
implementation
of
the
federal
transportation
bill
called
the
fast
app
in
the
fast
Act.
A
So
we've
got
portions
of
I-40
and
I-26
in
this
region
that
had
been
designated
for
both
electric
and
CNG
and
we'll
be
working
to
fill
in
some
of
the
gaps
to
meet
the
criteria
and
to
fill
those
gaps
that
are
out
there
and
then
work
with
dmt
to
put
up
signage.
What's
the
signage
goes
up,
then
people
are
really
going
to
see
that
and
it's
going
to
open
their
minds
to
alternative
fuels,
a
different
way
of
getting
around.
A
H
I'll
just
say
that
I'm
going
to
keep
this
really
brief
and
probably
just
skip
a
whole
bunch
of
my
slides.
If
it's
okay
with
you
so
to
get
us
started
this
guy
work
on
tedium,
that's
a
dirty
way
of
state
I
tried
to
cut
down
on
congestion
so
as
a
way
of
environment,
helping
your
state
of
mind
and
helping
our
region
D
less
stressful.
H
For
you
today,
I'm
not
talking
so
much
about
air
quality,
I'm
working
behind
the
scenes
to
improve
it,
and
so
the
recommend
I
make
to
businesses
tends
to
be
more
about
dollars
and
cents.
So
if
you
were
to
incentivize
your
workforce
to
have
a
carpool
program
or
invest
in
the
family
program,
that
will
pick
up
a
group
of
folks
take
them
around
to
work
and
take
them
around
the
end
of
the
day
home.
Basically,
a
small
community
system,
you
have
reliable
staff,
you
have
happier
staff
less
turnover
less
time
spent
training
that
turnover.
H
If
you
were
to
incentivize
people
to
bike
and
walk
to
work,
you
might
people
show
up
to
work
you're
ready
to
their
ties
to
do
that.
Base
work
be
a
little
more
on
the
ball,
a
little
more
present
and
well-rested
and
kind
of
centered
in
their
life.
If
you
are
trying
to
increase
your
bottom
line
by
having
more
customers,
then
great,
be
on
the
transit
line
and
encourage
transit.
So
we
are
working
every
day
along
those
lines
and
I'm
just
coming
up
a
lot
of
ideas
here
in
kind
of
broad
strokes.
H
So,
for
those
dual
reasons,
they're
looking
at
some
of
these
tactics
of
encouraging
people
to
work
from
home
when
they
can
for
the
Council
on
Aging
see
an
AARP
are
seeing
some
of
these
same
problems
that
the
workforce
sector
is
seeing
that
they
need
to
provide
transportation
solutions,
they're,
sustainable
and
easy
to
use.
But
they
need
to
do
that.
Some
people
were
trying
to
age
in
place
at
home
and
so
a
lot
of
the
work.
H
You
may
strive
not
to
drive,
has
been
part
of
the
landscape
of
Asheville
for
over
20
years.
It
started
as
a
lowly
bike
and
walk
to
work
week,
but
now
it's
grown
and
in
fact,
this
year
we
are
ditching
the
negativity
and
instead
of
calling
it
strive,
not
to
drive
we're
just
calling
extract
and
we're
going
to
the
strive
to
try
transit
for
a
week.
I'll
just
drive
to
carpool
it.
He
can
just
drive
to
consider
another
kind
of
more
sustainable
vehicle.
H
I
want
to
send
a
message
to
you
that
really
what
we're
after
is
not
asking
you
to
be
a
mall
punching,
Lulu
and
bike
to
work
every
day.
I
just
want
there
to
be
the
options
out
there
so
that
you
could
conceivably
accountably
and
working
within
your
life
that
you
like
it
do
something
a
little
bit
more
responsible
with
the
way
you
move
to
the
region
so
achieve
that.
H
B
H
H
This
will
be
their
first
time
doing
strata
just
to
show
you
that
something
like
strive
matters.
Last
year
we
ran
a
commute
challenge
and
we
just
said
hey:
what
are
we
for
action
for
the
month
of
May?
Try
some
of
these
tactics
that
and
then
we
log
it
into
some
software
and
just
here
in
this
region
it
would
offset
100
or
1300
trips
almost
12,000
miles
a
lot
of
dollars
say
in
fuel
costs
we
offset
our.
H
H
I
So
cute
member
guard
work
in
the
African
regional
office
for
the
division
of
air
quality
and
I
work
specifically
in
the
air
awareness
program.
The
goal
of
the
air
awareness
program
is
to
help
individuals
understand
that
they're
part
of
both
the
problem
and
the
solution
to
our
air
quality
problems
here
in
the
mountains
and
across
the
state,
and
today
is
given
the
task
of
being
the
last
person
on
a
long
agenda.
I
So
I've
tasked
myself
with
using
the
entire
curriculum,
which
is
a
curriculum
we
designed
for
teachers
to
use
to
hit
all
of
the
things
we've
talked
about
today
in
here.
Please
tell
your
curriculum
and
videos
that
support
this.
Now.
The
curriculum
has
15
activities,
nine
videos
and
it
is
designed
to
fill
a
gap
that
the
teachers
may
not
have
the
tools
to
do
activities
which
are
hands-on
they're,
collecting
research
using
data
collecting
data
videos
that
show
things
that
the
teachers
probably
don't
have
the
resources
to
bring
in
to
the
classroom
and
to
open
it
up.
I
There
goes
so
the
curriculum
has
is
divided
into
module
about
what
air
pollution
is
the
module
about
predicting
air
pollution
and
a
summary
about
what
we
can
do.
For
instance,
there
is
a
curriculum,
clean
air,
clean
smokestacks
out,
if
you
click
this
through
their
activities,
which
will
not
only
the
activity,
looks
at
the
clearness
cleaning
air.
B
I
But
this
video
goes
through
a
bill
was
talking
about
the
beginning.
It
talks
about
how
people
wrote
came
about
writing
the
clean
smokestacks
act
interviews
with
the
people
who
made
this
happen.
Many
of
those
people
are
here
in
Western,
North
Carolina.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
our
air
quality
history.
I
If
we
go
back,
we
can
look
at
some
of
the
things
which
Lang
and
Jason
were
talking
about
with
an
introduction
to
home
energy
used
where
we
have
the
students
and
analyze
the
electricity's
and
the
air
quality
effects
of
what
the
choices
they
make
it
at
home.
We've
also
got
one
which
does
the
same
thing
for
vehicles
with
the
driving
choices
and
both
of
these
they
go
to
the
EPA.
They
find
out
what
how
that
community
uses
energy.
What
the
balance
is,
how
much
is
coming
from
coal?
I
How
clean
that
coal
is
how
much
is
nuclear
and
how
much
is
is
from
natural
gas.
It
also
brings
up
that
idea
of
renewables
and
using
the
solar
energy.
So
these
the
video
talks
about
cars
specifically
and
ends
with
but
and
electric
cars-
and
it
also
has
a
nice
component
of
this
type
of
it-
not
interviews
of
people
who
use
buses
to
go
to
school
or
to
go
to
work
or
get
the
places
they
need
to
do
sleep
Ritchie
was
just
talking
about.
I
We
have
some
pretty
intense
activities
and
the
second
module
about
predicting
air
pollution
where
we
go
through
an
air
quality
index
is
immersed
in
how
we
come
up.
The
air
quality
index,
looking
at
both
ground
level,
loads
of
looking
at
particle
pollution
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
those
numbers
mean
make
it
back
to
research.
So
the
students
who
go
through
these
activities
really
understand
what
sort
of
behavior
they
can
take
to
protect
their
own
health,
an
orange
or
red
air
quality
day.
I
B
B
I
About
earl
earlier
and
all
of
these
are
set
up
in
a
curriculum
which
we
have
set
up
with
a
lot
of
different
resources
with
the
teachers
in
mind.
There
are
teacher
tips
and
they
include
videos
which
I'm
not
just
on
how
to
use
the
curricula,
not
just
the
videos
that
are
support,
the
curricula
for
the
students
to
watch,
but
even
these
teacher
to
teacher
videos
which
take
about
a
minute
or
two
minutes
to
explain
to
a
teacher
what
this
particular
is
about
and
how
they're
going
to
use
it
in
the
classroom.
I
I
So
so
they
can
understand
what
they're
reading
had
a
public
level
the
publicly
produced
mass
media
magazines
like
scientific
America,
and
then
they
have
them.
Look
at
the
study
that
was
written.
So
we
give
the.
So
we
are
going
to
give
the
tools
to
the
students
to
understand
how
this
works
together,
how
it
can
affect
air
quality,
how
they
can
use
it
to
save
money
and
sum
up.
We're
gonna
ask
you
to
do
something
which
will
help
remind
you
about
why
this
didn't
work.
I
So
I
had
to
hold
your
breath
for
30
seconds.
Most
of
you
skipped
between
seven
and
ten
breaths.
You
didn't
use
about
the
same
money
heritage,
finding
the
Soviet
camp
and
I'm
sure
at
each
of
you
was
beginning
to
feel
some
physical
stress,
because
you
didn't
have
enough
air
same
thing
can
happen
with
air
pollution
I'm,
not
such
a
dramatic
way.
When
you
can
ground
level
ozone
makes
you
want
your
Airways
swept.
