Work Plan for Rider 8
FY 2012 -2013 Funding
Recipien*:
•Pi
Pollution Prevention Partnership - -Texas A &M University- Corpus Christi
Task 5: Planning and Outreach
5.1 The Performing Party, subcontracting with Texas A &M University - Corpus Christi, Pollution
Prevention Partnership, shall establish stakeholder groups or committees that include local
governments, businesses, citizens groups, and environmental groups. The purpose of
these stakeholder groups shall be(to the extent the Performing Party determines
appropriate) to foster community participation in local ozone reduction efforts, review
technical work, serve as source of information of ideas in developing local ozone reduction
efforts.
This task had been assigned by TCEQ as part of the work plan format for FY2009 -2010
funding cycle. This task will no longer be performed by the Pollution Prevention Partnership
in the 2012-2013 funding cycle due to funding cuts.
5.2 The Performing Party shall maintain a public web site to facilitate public access to air
quality information and the technical or outreach efforts undertaken by the Performing
Party. The Performing party shall document traffic on its website by counting the number
of times the web site is "hit" each month.
This task had been assigned by TCEQ as part of the work plan format for FY 2009 -2010
funding cycle. This task will no longer be performed by the Pollution Prevention
Partnership in the 2012 -2013 funding cycle due to funding cuts.
5.3 The Performing Party (Pollution Prevention Partnership [P3]) shall develop, implement and
deliver a Clean Fleet program for the Corpus Christi Air Shed. Mobile source emissions
from vehicles are a significant contributor to ozone precursors in Corpus Christi.
The Clean Fleet program will measure vehicle emissions from area public and
private fleets for hydro carbons and NOx, coordinate emission reducing repairs to
identified polluting fleet vehicles, re -test the emissions of each repaired vehicle,
calculate and quantify emissions reductions as a result of repairs, and document
the quantified emissions reductions directly related to the Clean Fleet program.
Frequency of emissions testing for each fleet will be mileage based. Vehicles
driven 20,000 miles per year or less will be tested annually and vehicles driven in
excess of 20,000 miles per year will be tested quarterly.
The approximate total of vehicles; both gasoline and diesel, committed to
participate in the program thus far with preliminary surveying is 400. Additional
public and private fleets will be recruited to participate throughout the term of the
program with a total vehicle participation goal for the program of 800 vehicles.
Exhibit A -2

Deliverables:
• Based on funding and fleet owner interest, a minimum of 1 emissions testing
site visit each month will be strived for.
• The Regional Transportation Authority has committed to emissions test their
diesel buses (30 buses), test new CNG buses as they come into the fleet and
provide an emissions comparison of a bus route run with a diesel bus and
the same route with a CNG bus. The Regional Transportation Authority has
purchased 10 CNG buses and this comparison and database will be
developed for each of the 10 buses.
• A report and database will be submitted monthly that includes:
o a quantification of vehicles solicited to participate in emissions testing,
o quantification of vehicles successfully recruited to participate in
emissions testing,
o quantification of each vehicle screened for emissions,
o quantification of NOx and hydrocarbons of each vehicle screened,
o quantification of polluting vehicles identified,
o quantification of vehicles repaired,
o quantification of vehicle emissions read after emission reduction
.repairs,
o quantification of emissions reduced as a result of the program.
Deliverable Date: The Performing Party shall document project activity on a monthly basis
through the monthly progress reports required in Task 5 of this work. plan. Each monthly
report will be submitted by the 5 th of the month and describe all activities and emissions
reductions from the previous month. A final report shall be provided no later than
October 1, 2013.
Cost: September 2012 - August 2013 - $140,750
5.4 The public outreach projects will implement programs that educate the community
about air quality, including the impact on air quality of individual choices,
recommendations for alternative choices that minimize air quality impact, and ozone
action day messages. This task will be accomplished by a continuous community
presence of the Pollution Prevention Partnership and its air quality messages via briefings
of the media as well as coordination and participation in numerous interviews, community

events, air quality curricula provided to area schools, presentations to community and
civic groups, and other public presentation and outreach opportunities.
This task will no longer be performed by the Pollution Prevention Partnership due to funding
cuts.
