compilation. The Guidebook utilizes and conforms to the

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) procedures and

AP-42 emission factors to the maximum extent possible. The

UNECE procedures also form the basis for reporting to the

United Nations (UN).

CORINAIR94 is scheduled to be completed by the end of

1996 and will include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, ammonia,

nonmethane volatile organic compound, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, heavy metals (cadmium, mercury, and

lead), and some Persistent Organic Pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxin/furans).

There are numerous other persistent organic pollutants under

consideration for inclusion in the emission inventories but these

appear to be the initial set. The timing for compilation of the

data set has been shortened considerably over previous efforts (CORINAIR85 and CORINAIR90). This denotes improved

tools, techniques, and more knowledgeable personnel as well

as recognition that it has taken too long to develop and compile previous emission inventories.

The UN Secretariat reported much improved compliance

with emission data reporting protocols over previous years.

This reflects the overall progress made in development of emission inventories and the increased priority and attention associated with emission inventories. Data from the East European

counties appears to be emerging now also.

With completion of the Guidebook, the organization, focus, and leadership of the Task Force’s activities was examined, and numerous changes were adopted. The Guidebook

will remain a key focus, but activities will be on maintenance

and enhancements rather than development. In addition, application and assessments of the data will be highlighted as

opposed to developing estimation procedures. In this regard,

projections and validation activities are likely to be highlighted

along with air quality modeling applications. The next meeting

is targeted for June 1997 in The Netherlands and will be hosted

by the TNO at Aberdoorn.

Mobley also attended the Fuel Combustion Workshop on

Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories, which was also held in

Oxford, England in March. The Workshop was attended by 47

individuals from 25 countries of 6 continents and was sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC), and the International Energy Agency (IEA).

(Continued on p. 2)

On March 25-27, J. David Mobley attended the meeting for

the United Nations Economic Commission For Europe (UNECE)

Task Force On Emission Inventories, held at Keble College in

Oxford, England. The meeting was attended by 95 people from

23 countries. Mobley was the only attendee from the United

States and was Co-chair of the Verification Expert Panel with

Tinus Pulles of The Netherlands.

The main purpose of the meeting was to celebrate finalizing the UNECE Atmospheric Emission Inventory Guidebook.

This Guidebook was also adopted for use by the European

countries participating in CORINAIR and for the development

of the CORINAIR94 Emission Inventory which is now under

THE EMISSION INVENTORY:

Key To Planning, Permits,

Compliance And Reporting

The sixth annual U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency-Air & Waste Management Association (EPAAWMA) Emission Inventory Conference will be held at the

DoubleTree Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, September 4-

6, 1996. The conference will provide a useful forum for the

exchange of ideas and information on the use of emission

data between industry, EPA, state agencies, and the public.

Topics from emission estimation methods to compliance

reporting will be covered and will provide some information

related to the improvement of the emission inventory process and utilization of emission data in national and regional control strategies. Papers that relate industrial experiences and concerns with inventories of air pollution

emissions and the methods used to estimate emissions will

also be presented.

Panel discussions related to OTAG, EIIP (see related

articles in this newsletter), international, permit and other

inventory related development are also planned. Continuing education courses—including the use of computerized

emission estimation tools—and an exhibit of related products and services will be held in connection with the conference technical program.

A FAREWELL NOTE FROM JIM SOUTHERLAND

April 1, 1996 will leave a mark in my mind forever. This is the effective date of my break from US PHS/US EPA after 29 years

(of course, taking into account that EPA has only existed since 1970). There have been a lot of projects and efforts put forth over

those years and some have been successful, some not, but because of the great people I have had the opportunity to work with,

they have almost all been enjoyable. This includes the fellow "working folks" at EPA, the State and local representatives I have

worked with, industry representatives and consultants. Most particularly, I have had the opportunity in recent years, to work

under the direct supervision of two individuals (Ed Lillis and David Mobley) who have been uplifing and supportive professionally and personally. Emission factor and emission inventory work will go on as well after

I leave as before, as their vision and guidance, as well as that of many other individuals,

are left behind to "watch the flock."

I look back and see the progress we have made and am astounded. I look forward to

all the potential on the horizon and am awe struck. I see states making their data available

to the public by Internet; I see integrated GIS data bases that clearly show both professionals and novices the infinite details of each emission source and surrounding territory; I see

emissions data used daily in routine ways for valuable purposes that we had not even realized

were possible. I even see the budgeters and planners realizing that they can not go forward with a

creditable program without first having a reliable emission inventory to use for tracking progress.

Emission inventories lead to success!

I am also looking forward to working with Russell Hageman and Brock Nicholson and all the staff

with the North Carolina Air Quality Section in Raleigh. If you want to join forces to work toward some

common goals (and gang up on those Feds! Chuckle?), give me a call in Raleigh at 919 715-7566 or e-mail

at jim_southerland@aq.ehnr.state.nc.us. Let’s hope we can make as much progress and have as much

fun in the next 30 years as the last!

LETTER TO JIM SOUTHERLAND

I want to commend you, an original member of EPA/

OAQPS, for your many years of service in the nation’s efforts against air pollution. We all value your dedication to

the Agency’s work, especially in the production and improvement of emission factors, the necessary means of estimating both the sources and the scope of air pollution. Under your direction, EPA’s oldest and most often requested

publication series, the Compilation Of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, AP-42, has long been a "best seller" at the

Government Printing Office and now is at work in many thousands of copies almost literally everywhere. Your work with

the series has led to the worldwide use of emission factors,

with the current mail list for it encompassing 63 countries.

Also, your ideas for CHIEF, the Clearinghouse for Emission Inventories And Factors, have expanded the availability of AP-42 well beyond its printed volumes and have led

OAQPS in the development and use of modern electronic

media, including the CHIEF electronic bulletin board, the

TANKS emission calculation software, the Air CHIEF

CD-ROM, the FIRE database, Fax CHIEF, and on to the

Internet. Your efforts here have improved the quantity, quality, and availability of emission factors for 30 years.

I wish you well in your new position with the North

Carolina Department Of The Environment, Health, And Natural Resources. OAQPS will miss you.

— John Seitz, OAQPS Director

UNECE (Continued from p. 1)

The purpose of the Workshop was to develop modifications

to the OECD/IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas

Inventories, adding estimation procedures to the Energy

Chapter for methane and nitrous oxide as well as ozone and

aerosol precursors. In the course of this modification, the

OECD/IPCC Guidelines were harmonized with the UNECE

Guidebook, EPA procedures, and AP-42 emission factors. A

draft of recommended enhancements had been prepared by

IEA and all issues concerning this draft were addressed. The

final versions of the recommendations will be forwarded to

IPCC member countries in August for acceptance or rejection at their September 1996 meeting. To the maximum extent

possible, the IPCC Guidelines are consistent with the UNECE

and EPA procedures for emission inventories.

The emission inventory activities worldwide are increasing at a significant rate. Ozone, acid rain, and emerging air

toxic issues are keeping US and Canada emission inventory

activities at a high level. The UNECE protocols and air pollution issues in Europe are advancing emission inventory activities in Western Europe and linkage within Eastern Europe

are extending activities into those countries. Greenhouse

gas emission inventory activities and the Rio Convention

are stimulating emission inventory activities worldwide.

These are increasing demand for emission factors, emission

estimation procedures (simple but accurate), and verification

techniques to ensure that estimates are consistent and accurate. This is contrasted with limited resources available to do

the work with the quality desired by the users and developers. It should be an interesting and challenging time to work

in the emission inventory program.

EIIP: PAYING DIVIDENDS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE

As the Emission Inventory Improvement Program (EIIP) begins its third year of existence, the benefits of the program are

already evident. The volume of guidance chapters in final or external draft form continues to grow. Although the formal

implementation of the guidance was planned to begin in the next phase, some EIIP products are already being put to use at the

state level. For example, the Data Attribute Rating System (DARS) was recently endorsed in a California Air Resources Board

newsletter as a means of selecting the most reliable method for estimating emissions.

The EIIP is producing guidance that will result in higher quality data for air emission inventories. By pooling resources and

working cooperatively, state and local agencies, EPA, and industry are reducing the cost of producing inventories. Furthermore, the EIIP empowers state and local agencies by providing the knowledge and peer support system needed to make sound

decisions.

High Quality Emission Inventory Data

Having high quality data in air emission inventories is important because these data are the foundation of many decisions.

Emission inventories are used for assessing air quality, developing control regulations, and as a basis for issuing air permits.

Mistakes in the emission inventory affect all subsequent calculations and decisions further along in the process. Correcting

emission inventories to address problems caused by early mistakes can be costly and even embarrassing when the agency is

held publicly accountable for the quality of the work. Furthermore, errors in emission inventories may result in unrealistic

regulations, leaving an agency open to challenges from the public and from the regulated industry.

Cost Savings

In these days of budget cuts at federal and state levels, it is even more important that the remaining money be spent wisely

on programs that can be justified. By consolidating resources through the EIIP, the costs of developing emission inventory

guidance and of transferring emission inventory technology are shared among and directed by the states. This reduces the

overall cost for emission inventory technology to state and local agencies as well as to the country.

State And Local Agencies In The Lead

Implementation of environmental regulations is now falling more and more to state and local governments. At the same

time, the funds to support development of guidance, factors, and QA tools at the federal level is dwindling. State and local

regulatory agency personnel are leading the EIIP process by transferring knowledge that fosters improved decision-making.

A very important benefit of the state and local leadership within the EIIP is the formation of a peer support system. The

sharing of common problems and their solutions has been one of the primary benefits to those who have participated in

developing the guidance and tools. EIIP participants place great value in the guidance and procedures that they have developed together. That collective wisdom is being incorporated in common guidance from state and local agencies, industry, and

the EPA.

EIIP's Future

As EIIP looks beyond this year, it is clear that the next phase is to do more to implement the guidance in the real world.

Several ongoing activities have been identified as opportunities to put EIIP guidance into action: sharing program activities

with regional or interregional air quality programs such as OTAG, the Grand Canyon Visibility Study, SAMI, MARAMA, and

others; developing emission control strategies; facilitating the permitting process; providing a basis for emission trading

requirements; and providing the tools needed for more consistent and defensible environmental impact assessments. A basic

need of these activities to share consistent emission inventory data sets will also be supported with the EIIP's recommendation

of a standard data transfer format and transfer protocol.

Because EIIP is not a regulatory body, the success of

this program depends on how much and how well other agencies or programs use the guidance. The EIIP procedures documents provide a selection of methods for estimating emissions. While some are clearly identified as "preferred", the

EIIP has no authority to require that they be used. Rather, the

guidance documents can be used as a reference for any group

requiring an emission inventory; that group can specify that a

particular EIIP method (or set of methods) be used that fits

with the data quality objectives of their program.

INFO CHIEF'S MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Some hot topics, with information on each.

More Q & A's in the next issue!

Call Info CHIEF, (919) 541-5285, if you have questions!

Q: Can I download AP-42 sections from the Internet?

A: Yes! We finally have an FTP site for the CHIEF BBS files.

The Remote Host address for the FTP site is 134.67.104.11.

This is an anonymous site, meaning that users should type

"anonymous" as the User Name and the Password should be

your email address or anything that uses the convention of

"<text>@<text>". The CHIEF BBS files are located in the "EDrive" directory and can be downloaded directly to your computer.

The AP-42 sections are still available on the CHIEF BBS,

which may be accessed using the TELNET platform. The

TELNET address to the Office Of Air Quality Planning And

Standards Technology Transfer Network (OAQPS TTN) is

ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov. Unfortunately, many users are unable to

download using TELNET, depending on the type of computer

connection they are using. If you have questions about connecting through TELNET, contact the TTN Hotline at (919)

541-5384.

EFIG plans to put the AP-42 sections on the Internet via

our web site in the near future. Presently, the FIRE database,

the TANKS software, and the CHIEF Newsletter can be downloaded via the EPA web site. The EFIG web site can be accessed at the following address: http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/

efig/tools.html.

Q: How can I get on the CHIEF Newsletter mailing list?

A: The Emission Factor And Inventory Group publishes this

quarterly newsletter, The CHIEF Newsletter, to keep the public informed about new emission estimation tools, conferences,

and other information relating to emission factors and inventories. Due to budgetary constraints and the possible cessation

of printed copies, The CHIEF Newsletteris now available in a

variety of electronic formats. It is available in a PDF file format

on our Internet Web Page, at http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/

efig/tools.html. This requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader ®

for viewing. The CHIEF Newsletter is also available in

WordPerfect 5.1® and WordPerfect Envoy® formats on the

CHIEFBBS, modem dial-up number (919) 541-5742 or TELNET

ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov.

 EFIG has also recently established a listserver group for

email distribution of The CHIEF Newsletter. If you would like

to be a member of the listserver, email a message to

listserver@unixmail.rtpnc.epa.gov and type "Subscribe CHIEF

<Firstname> <Lastname>" in the message, where "<Firstname>

<Lastname>" supplies the name of the individual who will be

receiving the listserver messages.

The CHIEF Newsletter is also available on the Fax

CHIEF, our automated fax document delivery service. This

may be accessed by dialing, (919) 541-5626 or (919) 541-0548.

Call this from your fax machine using a fax with a touch-tone

keypad and a phone receiver or speaker device. A recorded

message will give you instructions (much like voice mail). To

obtain the Fax CHIEF document index, dial "1" for the document number; the Fax CHIEF will then automatically fax you

a copy of the document index of all Fax CHIEF documents.

Q: There are many sections of AP-42 that have not been

completed and have been designated as "Work In Progress".

When will these sections be completed?

A: The AP-42 sections that were not included in the original

Fifth Edition publication are sections that will be released in

later published supplements to AP-42. Many of these sections

are already available on the CHIEF BBS and the Fax CHIEF

and also in the very recently published AP-42 Supplement A.

If you wish to purchase the hard copy of Supplement A, please

contact the Government Printing Office, (202) 512-1800.

As EFIG continues to update these "works in progress",

the final sections will become available on both the CHIEF

BBS and the Fax CHIEF. Often, EFIG also puts draft versions

of these sections on the CHIEF BBS under the "AP-42 / E F

Guidance" menu item for comments from the user community.

THE POPULARITY OF AP-42 CONTINUES!

The Government Pinting Office sold out of first

runs of the Fifth Edition paper copies and Air CHIEF

CD-ROMs. More copies have been produced and sales

totals for both as of May 15 were:

Paper copies: 2,159; Air CHIEF: 1,750.

FIRE VERSION 5.1A: RELEASED APRIL 1996

The latest version of EFIG's Factor Information Retrieval (FIRE) data system is now

available! No changes have been made to the operating software since the last release in

October 1995; thus, the software version number remains “5.1”. However, we have added the

“A” to indicate that the Criteria and Toxics modules have been updated to contain emission

factors from the Fifth Edition of AP-42, Supplement A. We have also corrected a number of

miscellaneous errors primarily related to AP-42 Chapters 1 & 3 sources (External & Internal

Combustion). We will be comparing FIRE with AP-42 for the remaining chapters over the next

few months, but we do not expect to find the type or volume of discrepancies as those that

have been corrected in FIRE v5.1A.

The lookup file tables used by the Criteria and Toxics modules have also been updated,

including the 4 files that comprise the Source Classification (SCC) list. FIRE’s SCC list is

compatible with the SCC list in the Aerometric Information Retrieval System (AIRS) as of April

23, 1996. However, AIRS does not yet have the updated emission factors contained in FIRE.

EPA expects to update the AIRS emission factors to equal those in FIRE over the next several

months.

To get a copy of the new FIRE 5.1A, download it from the "AP-42/EF Guidance" menu item on the CHIEF BBS, (919) 541-

5742; or from the CHIEF FTP Site, ttnftp.rtpnc.epa or 134.67.104.11. FIRE 5.1A is also available from the EFIG Web Page at

http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/efig/tools.html.

A word of caution: installation of Version 5.1 or 5.1A software will overwrite any earlier software version (5.0 or earlier)

along with any earlier Criteria and Toxic Distribution modules. While this will not overwrite any earlier user-created modules,

those older modules are not compatible and cannot be accessed with the version 5.1 software. Therefore, you may wish to save

any existing user modules along with the older version of the software elsewhere prior to installing FIRE Version 5.1.

SUPPLEMENT A IS AVAILABLE!

Supplement A to Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors, Vol. I, 5th Edition (AP-42) is complete. A list of the

Supplement A contents is attached. Unfortunately, due to the same printing and mailing restrictions which have affected the

newsletter, it is unlikely that EPA will be able to distribute Supplement A to state and local agencies and other AP-42 subscribers.

It is available for $23.00 (Stock Number, 055-000-00551-6) from the Government

Printing Office, (202) 512-1800. Individual sections can also be downloaded

from the Fax CHIEF, CHIEF BBS and via FTP. To order from Fax CHIEF,

call (919) 541-5626 or 541-0548. A recorded message will instruct you to type

in a document number. Dial document 000001 to get the index showing the

section titles with the revision dates and code numbers. To use the CHIEF

Bulletin Board, dial (919) 541-5742, and choose the "AP-42/EF Guidance"

menu item, select the "AP-42" menu item, and then go to the "Supplement A

& B to 5th Edition" menu item. Transfer FTP files from the AP-42 directory at

FTP address: ttnftp.rtpnc.epa.gov or 134.67.104.11. We will soon have Supplement A available on the World Wide Web at: http://www.epa.gov/oar/oaqps/

efig/tools.html. This will be in Adobe Acrobat® format. Paper copies of

Supplement A are available from other sources; call Info CHIEF for more

information at (919) 541-5285.

TANKS VERSION 3.0

IS NOW AVAILABLE

At long last, TANKS 3.0 has been posted on the

CHIEF Bulletin Board System under emission estimation software. TANKS 3.0 uses the same FoxPro software

used for TANKS Versions 1.0 and 2.0 but incorporates

many new features.

A “readme” file posted along with the model catalogues the significant new features of TANKS 3.0. Some

of the more significant changes are:

1. New estimating equations and fitting factors applicable to both internal floating roof tanks (IFRTs) and external floating roof tanks (EFRTs).

2. Fitting factors for additional configurations for slotted and unslotted guidepoles have been added.

3. A new rim seal loss estimating equation and corresponding loss factors have been added.

4. A fitting wind speed correction factor has been added

to account for the shielding effect of the tank shell on the

wind induced losses from external floating roof deck components.

5. An option for estimating emissions from domed external floating roof tanks has been added.

6. A heated tank option has been added.

7. New chemicals have been added to the chemical database.

8. Users can now add new deck fittings and rim seals

and their associated loss factors.

 Test method and laboratory certification programs

are now under development by the American Petroleum

Institute to allow the development of reliable loss factors

for vendor specific rim seal and deck fitting designs.

TANKS 3.0 has been developed with this process in mind

and allows the user to input loss factors for rim seals and

deck components. This is a departure from earlier versions of TANKS which required use of loss factors developed for generic equipment designs. Our goal is to establish uniform and repeatable procedures to determine

loss rates specific to individual vendor equipment designs and thereby promote the development of improved

rim seals and deck component designs.

Any questions regarding the revisions to TANKS

3.0 should be directed to Dennis Beauregard of the Emission Factor and Inventory Group at (919) 541-5512.

THE OTAG EMISSION INVENTORY DATABASE

The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) was formed

in May 1995 at the request of the Environmental Commissioners of

the States (ECOS). The mission given to OTAG was to develop a

program to understand the transport of ozone and its precursors

across state boundaries. To address this transboundry transport

problem in its entirety, rather than on a state-by-state basis, investigators need to know both the amount of pollutant being emitted and

its origin. This information will be used in emission and air quality

models to determine the extent of pollutant transport and to test

various proposed control strategies.

Emission data needs for the OTAG modeling program requires

information for each county for each state in the domain. To meet

this condition, data from two sources were used to build the OTAG

emission inventory. Each state was responsible for compiling their

data, checking for errors, and submitting to OTAG (via EPA contractors). States supplied, at a minimum, data for their nonattainment

areas. Other statewide data were provided if available. For any

county not represented by state data, the EPA “Interim Inventory”

was used.

The assembled OTAG data are available from several sources in

different formats. All data are available via anonymous FTP

(‘earth1.epa.gov’ in the directory /pub/gopher/EmisInventory). File

names are NEI90AR*.ZIP and NEI90PT*.ZIP for DOS users. UNIX

users should download the files NEI90AR*.TXT.Z and

NEI90PT*.TXT.X. Note that “*” indicates the version number of the

particular file (Version 2 is the current version). Summary data in the

“Tier format” can be found on the TTN under OTAG Bulletin Board.

The file OTAG-EI.ZIP can be downloaded from the Modeling and

Assessment subdirectory under Emission Inventory. The data also

can be accessed via Internet at “http://www.epa.gov/tut”.

SURFACE COAL MINE EMISSION FACTORS

In the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Section 234 directs

EPA to review and revise the apparent overprediction resulting from

the use of available surface coal mine emission factors and dispersion

models. Efforts were undertaken by EPA to evaluate the emission factors and to make revisions to the models normally used. Initially, a need

for over $5 Million was identified for conducting the work. Unfortunately, this level of resources was not available from the EPA budget

nor from the effected industry. Subsequently, a reduced emission factor development effort was initiated that was focused on the perceived

major source, mine haul roads. Work was also carried out to make

revisions to the model and conduct some field validation work.

The emission factor work and modeling work have both been completed and reported in several final reports. Discussion continues,

however, on the final status and appropriate information to include in

AP-42. Substantial progress has been made toward improving the technical credibility of both the factors and the model (the “statistics” are

much improved). However, the results of the field work and generally

low ambient concentrations near the mines, indicate that there is still

overprediction of PM-10 emissions by the combined use of the new

factors proposed for AP-42 and the model. In view of this, decisions

are being made as to what will be published in AP-42 on the short term

(post-Supplement A) and what can be done in a longer time frame with

and without more resources. A proposed revision to the AP-42 section

is on the CHIEF BBS.

LATEST AIR CHIEF CD-ROM

FINALIST FOR AWARD

The latest version (4.0) of the Air CHIEF

compact disc, by the Emission Factor And Inventory Group (EFIG), was recently a finalist in

competition for a national award as “Best Help

Desk/Technical Reference Application” of 1996.

This award is given annually to infobase applications by Folio Corporation, the creator of Folio BoundViews®, the interface software (“platform”) used on the Air CHIEF and many other

CD-ROMs. Nominations for this award recognize innovative ways to search, annotate, and

otherwise navigate the “infobase set”, the material on the CDs. Among other considerations

for the award are user support and training,

custom documentation, on-line help, and visual appeal of the disc. EFIG is pleased to receive this recognition.

The Air CHIEF CD-ROM appears

annually, through cooperative efforts between

the Emission Factor And Inventory Group and

Radian Corporation.
