WRAP Policy on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency as
Pollution Prevention Strategies for Regional Haze
On November 12, 2002 the Air Pollution Prevention (AP2)
Forum reported its findings to the WRAP Board. The Forum
recommended the WRAP adopt a regional policy supporting renewable
energy and energy efficiency measures as cost-effective strategies
states and tribes could adopt to reduce regional haze. In
support of this policy statement the AP2 Forum also presented
the WRAP with a draft report entitled Renewable Energy
and Energy Efficiency: Summary of Findings and Recommendations
of the Air Pollution Prevention Forum. The report provided
a summary of findings and broad policy recommendations, developed
by the AP2 Forum and the Forum's Tribal Issues Committee,
and based on the policy analysis and economic modeling conducted
by the Forum over a three year period.
The WRAP voted to adopt the policy statement on renewable
energy and energy efficiency, as amended. In adopting the
policy statement the WRAP also recognized that more detailed
recommendations on energy efficiency and renewable energy
for states and tribes had not yet been included in the AP2
report to the WRAP. Accordingly, the WRAP directed the AP2
Forum and the IOC to complete an annotated version of the
policy and provide opportunity for "ample review by all WRAP
members, stakeholders and other interested parties, and to
present the final document to the Board for approval at its
next meeting."
The AP2 Forum is offering this opportunity for public comment
on the resulting document, WRAP Policy on Renewable Energy
and Energy Efficiency as Pollution Prevention Strategies
for Regional Haze, February, 2003.
Comments will be accepted until 5:00 PM MST, Friday, March
14, 2003. Comments must be submitted in writing to:

After review of public (and AP2 Forum) comments, the revised
version of the policy will be submitted to the WRAP Board
for consideration and endorsement at its April 2-3 meeting.
