3   Link   Mercury Deposition Netwrok
he MDN is the only network providing a longterm record of total mercury (Hg) concentration and deposition in precipitation in the United States and Canada. All MDN sites follow standard procedures and have uniform precipitation chemistry collectors and gages. The automated collector has the same basic design as the NTN collector but is modified to preserve mercury. Modifications include a glass funnel, connecting tube, bottle for collecting samples, and an insulated enclosure to house this sampling train. The funnel and connecting tube reduce sample exposure to the open atmosphere and limit loss of dissolved mercury. As an additional sample preservation measure, the collection bottle is charged with 20 mL of a one percent hydrochloric acid solution. 		200

Central Regional Air Planning Association CENRAP is an organization of states, tribes, federal agencies and other interested parties that identifies regional haze and visibility issues and develops strategies to address them.
CENRAP is one of the five Regional Planning Organizations RPOs across the U.S. and includes the states and tribal areas of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. 		265
5   Link   Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP)
The Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) is a collaborative effort of tribal governments, state governments and various federal agencies to implement the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission's recommendations and to develop the technical and policy tools needed by western states and tribes to comply with the U.S. EPA's regional haze regulations. Other common air quality issues raised by WRAP members may also be addressed.
The WRAP is administered jointly by the Western Governors' Association and the National Tribal Environmental Council. WRAP activities are conducted by a network of committees and forums composed of WRAP members and stakeholders who represent a wide range of viewpoints. The WRAP recognizes that residents have the most to gain from improved visibility and that many solutions are best implemented at the local, state, tribal or regional level with public participation. 		317
6   Link   Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Visibility Union (MANE-VU)
The Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Visibility Union (MANE-VU) was formed by the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states, tribes, and federal agencies to coordinate regional haze planning activities for the region. MANE-VU was formed to encourage a coordinated approach to meeting the requirements of EPAs regional haze rules and reducing visibility impairment in major national parks and wilderness areas in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region. MANE-VU provides technical assessments and assistance to its members, evaluates linkages to other regional air pollution issues, provides a forum for discussion, and encourages coordinated actions. MANE-VU also facilitates coordination with other regions. MANE-VUs structure includes a board comprised of state and tribal Commissioners/Secretaries, air program directors and two committees comprised of agency personnel: a Technical Support committee to assess the nature of regional haze, the sources that contribute to regional haze and the technical tools that states will use to develop their programs and a Communications Committee to develop outreach messages and approaches.

9   Link   Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO)
The Lake Michigan Air Directors Consortium (LADCO) was established in 1990 by the States of Illinois,Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In March 2004, the states signed a new Memorandum of Agreement which added the state of Ohio as a member. The main purpose of LADCO is to provide technical assessments for and assistance to its member states on problems of air quality; and to provide a forum for its member states to discuss air quality issues. LADCO's major pollutants of concern are ozone, fine particles, and regional haze and their precursors; however, problems related to other pollutants (such as air toxics) may be assessed at the direction of the member states. LADCO's primary geographic focus is the area encompassed by its member states and any areas which affect air quality in its member states. 		220
10   Link   Western States Air Resources Council
The Western States Air Resources Council (WESTAR) was founded in 1988 by eight western state air agencies. Since hiring staff and opening its office in early 1992, the Council has grown to fifteen states extending from Alaska to New Mexico; from Hawaii to North and South Dakota. WESTAR was formed to promote the exchange of information between the States, serve as a forum to discuss western regional air quality issues of common concern and share resources for the common benefit of the member states. WESTAR, located in Seattle, Washington, Portland, Oregon, and Springfield, Oregon, has a staff of five and is funded primarily by EPA grants. 		191
