Control Strategy Blueprint Development Process
The RAQC explores potential new air pollution control strategies in coordination with stakeholders. In 2025, the RAQC is developing a Control Strategy Blueprint that will be put before the RAQC Board for endorsement in fall 2025. The blueprint is a strategic framework to develop control strategy options and plan implementation timelines over the next few years, aligned with attainment planning milestones and to achieve critical air quality improvement as soon as possible for human health and environmental benefits.
Please see the most recent version of the draft Blueprint here (updated July 18, 2025): Control Strategy Blueprint – Version for July 22nd Workshop
The RAQC will accept comments on the draft Blueprint through August 25, 2025. Please submit all comments to emissioncontrols@raqc.org. The upcoming Control Strategy Blueprint workshops in July and August are also an opportunity to provide input; please see below for more information.

Strategy Overviews
The RAQC is in the process of developing one page overviews for each control strategy concept as brief documents designed to provide clear, high-level information about the strategies included in the Blueprint for a variety of audiences, at a greater level of detail than is in the Blueprint itself. Currently available overviews are linked in the Blueprint and also below, and more will be added alongside future, updated Blueprint drafts.
- Wellsite Venting & Blowdowns
- Consumer Products VOC Content Limits
- Summertime Free Fare Transit
- Indirect Source Data Reporting
- Voluntary Facility Emission Reduction Plans from Best Management Practices
Control Strategy Blueprint Workshops
The RAQC is hosting two workshops to gather stakeholder input on the draft Control Strategy Blueprint:
Previous & Related Control Strategy Exploration Efforts
At an earlier stage in the air quality planning process, the RAQC presented information on several of the strategies included in the Blueprint at Control Strategy Committee and Board meetings in the first half of 2025. These strategies, along with others, are incorporated into policy recommendations in the Control Strategy Blueprint. More information and documentation from this previous process can be found on the 2024-2025 Control Strategy Exploration webpage.
