Annexure 1: Example of detailed evaluation required with respect to baseline AQMP implementation plan

This document provides a critical evaluation of a Mid-Term Review (MTR) regarding Goal 2 of an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). It argues that the goal of equitably reducing industrial emissions by 2020 was not achieved, as the necessary activities—such as identifying emitters in the High Priority Area (HPA) and issuing specific Atmospheric Emission Licences (AELs)—were not performed, and no verifiable indicators exist to measure the equitability of industry-led reduction strategies.

• The document critiques a Mid-Term Review (MTR) for incorrectly characterizing Goal 2 of the baseline Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) as 'achieved' or 'work in progress'. Goal 2 aimed to equitably reduce industrial emissions by 2020 to comply with ambient air quality standards and dust fallout limit values. The author asserts that the goal has not been achieved because the four required activities—identifying significant emitters in the High Priority Area (HPA), submitting Atmospheric Impact Reports (AIRs), determining equitable reductions, and issuing Atmospheric Emission Licences (AELs) with specific requirements—were not carried out.
• While industries within the High Priority Area (HPA) have committed to emission reduction strategies and reported progress at ITT and MSRG meetings, the document notes that the 'equitability' of these reductions cannot be measured due to a lack of verifiable indicators.
