1. Intermountain West Data Warehouse - Western Air Quality Study
(IWDW-WAQS)
Online Tools Overview

2. Background
Intermountain West Data Warehouse - Western Air Quality Study (IWDW-WAQS)
CAMx and CMAQ modeling to accommodate the needs of the Cooperators for air quality planning
Cooperators include representatives from state and federal agencies
Modeling platforms have applications to:
National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) modeling studies
State Implementation Plan (SIP) modeling for ozone, particulate matter, and haze planning
Research studies that require comprehensive and up-to-date emissions inventories and air quality modeling platforms

3. Overview IWDW-WAQS activities include: Monitoring: ozone and PM
Monitoring network assessment for expanded WAQS region
Modeling: emissions, meteorology and air quality modeling
Base year and future projections
Data Warehouse: maintenance and operation
Modeling studies include 2008, 2011, preliminary 2014; external modeling studies
Data request and inventory tracking
IWDW website wiki and user forum
Interaction with Cooperators on modeling activities, online tool development, modeling and monitoring analyses
Benefits to users:
Cost savings
Centralized platform to store and share data
Tools and data products for MPE
High quality emissions and AQ modeling
