SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROJECT CONCLUDED —
EMISSIONS DATA OBTAINED FROM STATE PROGRAMS

The pilot project to catalog, evaluate and acquire emissions data from state control programs came to a successful
conclusion at the end of September, and a similar project is already being planned for next fiscal year. Nine state and local air
quality offices were visited to evaluate the availability of source test information suitable for developing criteria and
noncriteria (including HAPS) emission factors. The offices visited included San Diego, Bakersfield and Ventura, California;
Maryland; New Jersey; Houston and Beaumont, Texas; and Wisconsin. Over 3,000 emission evaluations were screened and
cataloged during the visits, and over 700 were copied (using over 250 reams of paper!) for further evaluation and data
extraction. Some possibly suitable material was not obtained because of confidentiality restrictions, but an attempt will be
made next year to obtain it - if it can be declassified or be used to develop emission factors without revealing the confidential
information. Although all of the material has not been fully quality assured, we estimate that over 75% of the emission
evaluations can be used to develop emission factors for AP-42. For more information, contact Ron Myers at the Newsletter,

phone (919) 541-5407.

Thus far, the data base contains information for 515 facilities, as follows:

The National Air Data Branch
(NADB), working with EIB and the
Stationary Source Compliance
Division (SSCD), has implemented a
considerable number of enhancements
to AFS during FY92. We give here a
list of the improvements, all of which
are either in place or scheduled to be
by early FY93. For any further
information on these matters, contact
Chuck Isbell of NADB, at (919) 541-

inventories.

MULTI-YEAR ACCESS - Multiple
years and types of emission inventory
data will be maintained on line in
AFS. This enhancement supports
both the development of draft and final
SIP inventories and the development
of annual emission inventories. It
enables the user community to update
multiple year emissions data at the
same time, ending the "freeze" of the
system that prevented annual emission
users from adding new inventories
before finalization of 1990 SIP
inventories.

“FREEZE” AND "THAW" CAPABILI-
TIES FOR SIP INVENTORIES - These

5

(SIP)

allow a “frozen” status, to protect SIP
data from being changed during EPA
reviews or after an inventory is
approved by EPA, but provide the
flexibility to "thaw" or “unfreeze” the
data when changes need to be made to
a frozen inventory.

SIP DRAFT DATA CONFIDENTI-
ALITY - This software provides the
ability to treat Draft SIP inventory
data as confidential until the draft
inventory is finalized. It prevents
unauthorized users from retrieving draft
SIP data before the data are ready for
release.

9 — CONCRETE BATCHING - Several emission tests are being planned to characterize particulate and PM-10 from
concrete batch plants. The present AP-42 factors for the two types of batching operations are poorly rated, and new data are
needed. The trade association has assisted EPA in locating suitable test sites. Relatively new control technology was
installed on one facility to be tested and was scheduled for installation on another. The first test will be scheduled for late
October or early November. For more information, contact Ron Myers at the Newsletter, phone (919) 541-5407.

9 — TESTING BRICKS AND RELATED CLAY PRODUCTS - At least three emission tests are planned to characterize
the emissions from this activity. The present emission factors for raw material handling in making regular bricks, clay pipe,
pottery and some types of refractory brick came from technology transfer and are poorly documented. Many PM-10
Nonattainment Areas have a significant number of these facilities, and better factors are needed. At least three brickmaking
facilities will be tested for PM and PM-10 emissions from the grinding, screening and storage of the raw material. Criteria
and noncriteria kiln emissions will be included in the test program. The Brick Institute Of America is assisting EPA in
locating typical facilities and in gaining the companies’ confidence in the program. The first test is scheduled for the end of
October, with preliminary data available in December. For more information, contact Ron Myers at the Newsletter, phone
(919) 541-5407.

The ClearingHouse for Inventories and Emission Factors

TIME Is RUNNING OUT FOR EMISSION INVENTORIES ....

The clock turns ineluctably towards November 15, when the states preparing SIPs for ozone and/or carbon monoxide owe
their final 1990 baseline emission inventories to EPA. So far, inventory components have been submitted for about two-
thirds of the nonattainment areas, but not many of these are complete. Most lack the required successful entry of emissions
data into the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS). EIB is urgently appealing to any state and local agencies
needing assistance with these inventories, particularly regarding AIRS, to communicate their needs immediately to their
Regional Office inventory contact or to EIB. We can make trained staff and/or contractor teams available, either by telephone
or on site, to help you meet that the deadline.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GENEROUS OFFER OF HELP TO BRING THIS ACTIVITY TO A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION!!!!

— OMS Completes MOBILES —

EPA's Office Of Mobile Sources has
teleased the latest revisions to the
Highway Vehicle Emission Factor
Model, MOBILES, and this new
version is now on The CHIEF BB.
Here are the most significant changes
in MOBILES from its 1991
predecessor, MOBILE4.1:

1- All vehicle and fuel emission
control programs mandated by the
1990 Act amendments are addressed;
2.- Opting into the California low-
emitting vehicle program can be
modeled;

3 - The basic emission rate equations
for 1981 and later light duty gas
vehicles have been revised, based on
results of the transient testing program
at Hammond, IN;

4 - Basic emission rates for all
gasoline-fueled vehicles have been
adjusted to account for differences in
certification/test and in commercially
available fuel properties;

5 - Speed correction factors for light
duty gas vehicles have been revised;

6 - It expands ability to model the
effects of both transient test

inspection/maintenance (I/M) pro-
grams and functional tests of in-use
vehicles’ control systems;

7 - MOBILES gives a user the option
of estimating emissions as of January
lor July 1 of a specified year.

A number of lesser revisions have
also been made. For more details,

AEERL's Emission And Modeling
Branch, the National Center For
Atmospheric Research's Trace Gas
Biogeochemistry Section, the
Washington State University
Laboratory For Atmospheric Research,
and NOAA's Atmospheric Turbulence
And Diffusion Division have
completed a field campaign on how a
forest canopy environment affects
isoprene emission rates. Rates were
measured at leaf, canopy, and landscape

levels. A system was also deployed to
test isoprene emission rate from oak
leaves under controlled environmental
conditions. This work, when
completed will allow the separation of
physiological effects related to canopy

position from the role of
environmental and meteorological
parameters.

VOC measurements were taken
using a variety of techniques,
including tethered balloon systems.
Measurements were made to determine
emission rates from the predominant
vegetation types in the area, which
should be generally representative of

— — FROM THE CHIEF'S CORNER — —-

We're really excited about the
TANKS pc program, now on the
CHIEF BB, and about the new AP-42
Chapter 12, both of which should be
quite useful in estimating storage tank
emissions. TANKS is especially user
friendly, and even I, the proverbial
computer idiot personified, can use it.
If you want to make use of them, just
download them from The CHIEF
Bulletin Board. If any problems or
questions arise, call the Info CHIEF,
(919) 541-5285,

The new Chapter 12 will be a large
part of the upcoming AP-42
Supplement E, which we hope to have
available in print by mid-December.
Ir'll be on the BB even sooner. Most
of you know we're in the midst of a
rather ambitious review and update of
the entire AP-42 stationary source
volume. For many source types, we
are finding little or no data, and

updates for these activities are not
possible. With some other source
categories, a number of obstacles have
arisen to impede the process. The
work is proceeding, however, and we
are making substantial and timely
progress. There is so much new
material that's nearly complete that
we'll probably be producing a
Supplement F by early 1993. With
that done, we should be "caught up" in
the review process. Meanwhile,
remember to check The CHIEF BB for
drafts and new sections, which you can
download without waiting until they
appear in print. After the completion
of one more supplement, around
October '93, we'll be pulling all the
series into a Fifth Edition. This one
will contain all the information
developed since the Fourth appeared in
1985, and we're considering a slightly
different format. Look, too, for the

4

annual update of the Air CHIEF CD-
ROM next Spring, which contains
AP-42 and many other emission factor
documents.

If any of you old hands at AP-42
have thought over the years about how
to improve the series, be sure to let us
know. We do this for you, and you're
our customers, so tell us how you
think we can make it better. We'd
love to get an outpouring of ideas,
criticism and comments on things -
emission factor needs, changes in the
Newsletter, the BB, the CD-ROM.
It's not likely that we can satisfy every
person's every need, but help us try.
By telling us what you want, you can
help us set our priorities. Drop us a
note, zip a message over the CHIEF
BB's E-mail, or give us a phone call.
We'll do what we can, 4

In early November, look for Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Estimates for 1990, which quantifies emissions of CO2,
CH,, N2O and CFCs, with background information on the methods used in the estimations. This will be followed by a
methods manual in Spring 1993. For further information, contact Art Jaques, (819) 994-3098.

By June of '93, we also expect to produce a comprehensive forecasting model which uses data on future technology,
regulations and macroeconomic conditions. This model will have a direct link with the latest information in the inventory
data base. For further information, contact Libby Greenwood, (819) 953-1659.

Work also continues on developing the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) for toxic substances, which will be
similar to the U. S.'s Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). The reporting criteria for NPRI are being developed by a committee
representing industry, environmental and labour organizations, and provincial governments. Current proposals are for NPRI
to address air, water and land releases of about 175 substances, from commercial entities having 10 or more employees and
involving >10,000 per year. For further information, including an interim report discussing the criteria and unresolved
issues, contact Gordon Pope, (819) 953-1654.

— THE HUMAN FACTORS ... ANNE POPE —

This issue, we want to tell you
about Anne Pope, one of the hardest
working, most productive people we
know. Anne joined the Agency
almost six years ago and is an original
member of EIB. She is a whiz on
emissions of toxic substances and how
to estimate and inventory them, and
she's overseen the production of many
of the Locating And Estimating . . .
series. Anne developed and maintains
the toxic speciation program, the
XATEF program, and the new Air
CHIEF CD-ROM. She also has
responsibility for the new AP-42
Chapter 12, covering storage tanks and
other points of organic emissions,
soon to appear in Supplement E.

Anne is a native of McLeansville,
NC, a rural Piedmont town where her
family has lived since Revolutionary
times. She was reared there to be a

paradigm of, in her words, the
“Southern Belle". Graduate of N. C.
State University with B. S. degrees in

Science Education and Zoology, and in
Chemical Engineering, she has taught
high school chemistry and physics,
then worked in private industry for a
time before coming the EPA. A

Wolfpack runs in Anne's family.

In addition to her work here, Anne
has a special commitment to
environmental education, and she leads
the AWMA's national committee on
presenting this subject in grades K
through 12. Anne has been a leader in
training teachers and developing
teaching materials, and in arranging
school classroom presentations on
environmental topics. She believes
this work is vital to achieving a clean
and healthy environment through
voluntary life style changes, and that
we must encourage young people to
pursue careers in environmental
science. Anne has recently been
chosen by the Office Of Air Quality
Planning And Standards (OAQPS) to
develop and administer a program

WHAT's NEW ON THE CHIEF BULLETIN BOARD:

Bulletin Board activity waxes forth,
now with over 800 registered CHIEF
users who logged in more than 4350
times since the last issue. We are still
opening more access lines for you to
reach the BB. Remember that, as well
as the list of current Alerts, there is
one for old Alerts for those who want
to make sure they're up to date. Alerts
will stay current for at least a month
before they are moved to the “old” list.

We like hearing from you. Write,
phone or E-mail to Michael Hamlin,
bulletin board System Operator, here
at the Newsletter.

‘The Surface Impoundment Modeling
System (SIMS) is still the most
popular data base downloaded from The
CHIEF BB. New material on the BB
includes several items discussed below
in detail, plus Quality Review
guidelines and information from EIB's
Inventory Guidance And Evaluation
Section about the Direct Assistance
Program and Emission Statements.
The new mobile source model,
MOBILES, discussed elsewhere in this
issue, is now on the board.

Now, read on about these new tools:
NEW AP-42 CHAPTERS: FINAL
VERSIONS — The BB now has the
fully revised contents of AP-42 Chaps.
1, External Combustion Sources; 2,
Solid Waste Disposal; 3, Stationary
Internal Combustion Sources; and the
new Chap. 12 on organic liquid
storage and handling. Take a look at
this new material and let us have your
feedback on it. Send us comments,
etc., by BB E-mail or however you
wish.

TANKS — EIB's newest emission
estimation tool, the TANKS pc
program, is now on The CHIEF BB
for downloading. TANKS presents, in

a menu driven format, the newly
revised storage tank equations which
will appear in AP-42 Supplement E.
The system calculates monthly and
annual VOC and toxic air emissions,
for horizontal and vertical fixed roof
tanks, internal and external floating
roof tanks, and underground tanks,
incorporating the latest American
Petroleum Institute equations, The
program can produce either summary,
detailed, or fully detailed reports. The
user's manual for the system is also on
CHIEF for downloading. TANKS
tequires 3 MB of hard disk space to
operate. For more information,
contact Info CHIEF at phone (919)
541-5285.
CALCULATOR FOR CON-
TROLLED PM-10 EMISSIONS —
This program, the PM-10
Controlled Emission Calculator,
allows users to enter known
information on PM-10 sources and
then to obtain expected control
efficiencies and emissions from those
sources. It should be helpful for SIP
preparation, inventory compilations,
source estimation and the like. The
user supplies a Source Classification
Code (SCC), a factor for uncontrolled
emissions, the control device (or
devices), and the units desired. The
program contains all known SCCs for
PM-10 sources, as well as typical
control devices and their efficiency
ratings. The calculator then supplies
the user with the percent control
efficiency and the expected emissions
from the source configuration put into
the program. This output can then be
viewed, printed or filed elsewhere.
‘Some error checking is provided, as are
pop-up menus for SCCs, input
requirements and help with the

program. For more information,
contact Michael Hamlin at the
Newsletter, phone (919) 541-5232.
INTERIM VERSIONS OF

XATEF & SPECIATE — The
1992 versions of the Crosswalk/Air
Toxic Emission Factor Data Base
Management System (XATEF) and the
VOC/PM Speciation Data Base
Management System (SPECIATE) are
both available for downloading from
The CHIEF BB. More than
1800 citations and emission factors
have been added to XATEF this year,
the majority of which come from the
California Hot Spots Inventory Pooled
Source Test Data.

The 1992 SPECIATE is also on the
BB, with new species profiles
developed by the Office Of Mobile
Sources for automobile exhaust and
evaporative emissions. These profiles
were produced with data from EPA, the
California Air Resources Board and
AUTO/OL.

1992 is the end of the line for

XATEF. It has served us well, but
next year will see its replacement by
FIRE, the Factor Information
Repository System, which will
contain rated toxic and criteria
emission factors.
ORDERING MODULE FOR
DOCUMENTS — The BB now has a
module for quick ordering of any of the
Locating And Estimating series on
toxic substances. To reach the
module, go to the main menu and
select Order Documents. Your
requests will then go directly to our
library services people for distribution
to you. If you need assistance or more
information, call the Info CHIEF,
phone (919) 541-5285. &

— NEWS FROM ENVIRONMENT CANADA —

The Pollution Data Analysis Division (PDAD) of Environment Canada is continuing its compilation of the 1990
inventory, with the help of its Regional Offices and the Provincial Ministries Of The Environment. The number of point
sources included in this inventory will be more than twice that of previous national inventories. A new pc data base system
is being developed which will help in compiling inventories of common pollutants, toxics and greenhouse gases. The
system will provide better reporting capabilities and will allow analysis of current and projected emissions, using a
Geographical Information System. For further information on these matters, contact Marc Destantigrs, (819) 994-3069.
